Because adquate room is not easily avail
able in hospitals, the Wayne County Medical
Society advises parents to arrange at an early
date to have their children's tonsils out, when
it is recommended by their family doctors.
The arrangements should be made now to
avoid poStpOnementS when more bed space
may be available, the Society explained.
"It is only natural to anticipate that there
will be an increase in the number of tonsil
operations as soon as school lets out, but
parents who have made arrangements early
will not have to wait until it's almost time
for the children to return to school," the
Society'S announcement stated.
With the return of fair weather, the most
favorable conditions prevail for easing the
child's discomfort from infected tonsils, but
if doctors schedules are crowded with ap-
pointments, some children will nave to wait
for several weeks, the Society observed.
Besides, some surgeons anticipate going on
their own vacations during the m er
months, and are anxious to avoid postpone
ments until their return, it was pointed out.

Don't Worry About
The Dam; Let Your
Grandchildren Do 1t
By Chas. D. Rowe

Don't worry about the Tribune
article Your great grandchildren
will probably do the worrying about
that"
So read the telegram received
this week by Dexter Shaurette,
secretary of the Libby Chamber of
Commerce, from Montanans Inc,
the Montana state Chamber of Com
merce. 1t was in reply to letter
by the Libby Chamber asking for
information regarding the possible
threat of the building of dam on
the Koctenai below Troy and the
flooding of this entire valley dis
trict 1t was the first reply re-
reived in response to a number of
letters sent out by the local Cham
Der. Upon learning from rthe Great
Falls Tribune article that govern
ment surveys had disclosed that
such a dam was feasible, the people
of this valley were all agog over
the possible threat to their homes
and properties.
Some are of the opinion that there
is no reason to worry, holding the
same conviction indicated by the
telegram quoted above When one
prominent Libby man was asked for
his opinion. he replied, 'Why, no
one would be so silly as to do that,
would they?' The questioner replied
that anything might be expected
from the present New Deal gov
Others feel that while
the dam might be built some day,
it will be long time in the future,
if ever. But despite this attitude,
here are others who are worrying
and are wondering what the future
holds in store.
For that reason the entire affair
is unfortunate in that it will natur
ally act as a brake on developments !
in the valley. The natural reac- !
ton by some is to wait and see what |
happens. They will hesitate to spend |
in improvements while this |
possible threat still hangs over the |
On the other hand |
some dauntless spirits are going "a

was a ready sale of lots and lands
BY the county a week or 10 days
ago. And certain large develop
nents are under way However,
of the uncertainty caused
by the disclosure of possible gov
plans, it is hoped the final
answer will be given soon as to
whether the purported dam VIII
Or will not be built.
A delving into this subject brings
out some interesting information.
Those who claim to know say the
present site of Libby would be UNI
der approximately $50 feet of water
if and when the dam is event
ually built Contour maps show
the elevation at the proposed dam
site to be somewhat over 1900 feet.
Adding a 500 foot dam on top of
that would bring the water line of
the reservoir at between 2300 and
2400 feet. The elevation at the
Libby depot is 2O6O feet 1t is
therefore evident that there would
be depth Of water of approx
mately $50 feet at Libby
1t is said this would put the shore
line just below the high bench
south and west of the city The
large Gopher Inn flat would be well
above the water line 1t is interest
ing to follow the contour lines on
the map and trace the probable
shore line of such a reservoir. One
fact brought out is that the val
leys of streams emptying into the
Kootenai in this district would not |

be flooded to the extent some might
suppose.
Another question that has been
in the minds of many is what eff
feet creation of such a reservoir
would have on present sustained
yield plans. When that question
was put to K. A. Klehm, SUPER
visor of the Kootenai national for
est, he said: 1T would have very
little effect Most of the land that
would be flooded is in rocky can
yons and is not suited to growing
a good quality of timber. The
amount of land that would be re-
moved from timber production
would be relatively unimportant be-
cause of the poor grade of timber
coming from il"
A number of letters have been
mailed to senators, congressman,
Governor Ford and other officials
regarding the dam proposal and as
replies are received the public will
be kept informed of developments
An Illuminating article in Fri
days newspapers said that a Gal
lup poll of French people disclosed
that third of the people would
be glad to pull up stakes and start
life over again in some foreign
country. They are tired and dis
gusted with conditions in the home

portunity to attempt to better their
lot in a new land.

forth in this column several months

that the newly formed United Ma

up the project of inducing millions
of people from those lands to move
into new countries-onto unoccupied
acres in South America, Africa and
some in North America. We be

One who reads the papers from

news told that youthful parents of
triplets, just born, were offering
their babies for adoption inasmuch

be the reason for their unnatural
action but we suspect the real rea-

suspect the underlying reason is the
youthful parents dissemination to
assume the responsibilities of parent
hood. One can see many evidences
of that attitude as one looks around.
It is typical of the supreme selfish

This squabble about the confirma-

complications. President Truman
stands pat in his support of Pauley
and thus the battle for or against

the senate will support or go against

factor that should be considered
Pauley's qualifications or lack of
