HAVE YOU HEARD?

That the little White House at
Warm Springs, Georgia, where the
late Franklin Delano Roosevelt
spent so much time and where he
later died became National
Shrine this past month.
Hundreds of great and near
great folks who knew him well,
came with hundreds of plain folk
from Georgia's farms and cities,
who loved him well, to the dedica-
ton ceremonies.
In an address in tribute of the
late president, former Navy Sec
retary Josephus Daniesl, said: at
is fitting that we come here in an
hour today when there seems to be
more hate and confusion than love
and purpose in the world. Even to
one who has seen many years,
these times seem dark. But this
place is lit with courage"

water holes or from the rough.
You just snap on your midiron the

Push it along the bottom of the
water hazard or through the tall

there, it will find it.
GLAMOR
A perfect gift for bride or a
doll collector would be the fascin-
ating new book "The Marriage Of
Diamonds and Dolls, co-authored
by Dorothy Digman, who handles
the publicity for the diamond in
dustry and Mary f. Lewis, who
owns 1,6O0 dolls and is one of the
best known collectors in the coun-
try.
American bridal traditions and
the changes in bridal gowns, sill

are amusingly recorded. There is
also special data on bridesmaids
apparel, lace, wells, bouquets and
all manner of bridal customs and
superstitions.
One chapter on trousseaux will
be especially interesting to all the
summer brides and brides-to-be.
Modern brides dash off on honey

with all the Saratoga trunks which
lpnce constituted a brides luggage.

derwear.

THIS BUSINESS 81 ca
- BY MARY MOORE ~ TLlI1

| Before 1875, however, the bride
had from five to six dozen chem
ises, drawers, hustle covers, petit
coats and nightgowns, and every
stitch was made by hand.
After the invention of the sew
ing machine, brides began to have
only dozen and a half of every
thing. The editor of Harper's
Bazaar wrote in 1875: "The new
custom is far more sensible than
the old which had it's origin in the
foreign countries where the weekly
wash was thing unknown. A
bride was expected to bring sup
ply to last throughout all sorts of
emergencies-'even unto DEATH.
The book is illustrated with the
Lewis collection of bride dolls,
along with photographs of the en-
gagement and wedding rings popu
lar in each era from Colonial days
| to the present.
Brides of yesteryear who went
to Saratoga Spa for a month took
at least 80 changes of costume, al
lowing three for each day. They
also took a ladies' maid to look
after this ponderous pile of cloth
ing. The arch-topped, metal bound
wooden trunk called the Saratoga
was named after the New York
state famous resort.

WOMEN
Mrs. LaFell Dickinson, retiring
president of the General Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs is a con-
crete example of today's thinking
woman, and tears down the age
old cry that "women don't have
political minds-they only quote
what they're told to say"
Mrs. Dickinson, handsome
gray-haired woman, is the wife of
New England industrialist, but
as president of the General Feder-
alton of Women's Clubs spent most
of her time since 1914 in the ma
tional headquarters in Washington.
Before leaving Washington for the
General Federation convention in
New York City, Mrs. Dickinson
said:
"Women are in the majority now
and should take the lead. Men have
failed to keep the peace. Perhaps
we can promote it through under
standing"
Referring to the Federation
where "many healthy arguments
occur" Mrs. Dickinson brought out
the fact that women from all walk
of life and all religious work to-
gether and reach conclusions, that
later reach Congress.
Some of the legislative steps
taken recently by the Federation
were summed up by Mrs. Dickin-
son as follows:
Supported an international trade
organization and opposed efforts
to weaken or destroy the reciprocal
lTdue agreements.
Urged passage of the federal aid
to education bill.
Backed creation of an interna-
tional refugee organization.
Favored the equal rights bill and
polled congressional nominees with
a pledge card regarding this mea-
sure. Those who signed the card
favoring the bill before elections
were reminded later.
Mrs. Dickinson urged junior
delegates to the Federation con-
vention to get into party politics.
"Get in at the grass roots-work |
in your ward or precinct. Women
as a rule vote as their conscience
dictates, so we must see that the
party we belong to has candidates
with ideals such as our own. You |
have a chance to support the I'm |
tied Nations which may be able to |
keep us from war"

Chicago. = The national executive
council of the American Federation of
Teachers meeting in Chicago recently
has released a statement calling on
all educational and labor organiza-
tions to continue active support for
federal aid to education during the
forth coming session of congress.
"Clamor for a general reduction in
income tax rates is not realistic" de-
clared the executive council. "It does
not take into account the pressing
need for an adequate program of fed
eral aid for education. Unless such
a program is enacted the present
crisis in education will be deepened"
The councils statement pointed out
that in the face of general price in
creases in excess of 1920 the proper
ton of the national income going to
the support of public education has

HOLY! HOLY! HOLY!
By AN OBSERVER

A House member recently tried to
inquire into the operations of the Ii
quor board. He preached the subject
to the majority leader. The majority
leader very promptly and emphatical-
ly told said worm of House member
that thing as holy as the liquor set
up in the state should never be doubt
ed or questioned But the fact remains
that the said majority leader has been
doing considerable "tall stepping"
ever since to see that the liquor set-up
shall be granted clean bill Of health.
Under a recent supreme court deci-
sion, the liquor board is a separate
entity and is responsible only to the
governor. The governor in his mes
sage intimated that the liquor set-up
should not be tempered with, least of
all by a mere legislature Paraphras-
ing Will Rogers, "All know is what
I hear and what read in the papers"

as noted below, during the seven
year period of 1939-45 represented
1877 per cent of our states total farm
income, according to the recent Mon
tana State University publication
"Montana's Production 1930-1946".
The average farm income for the
years 1939-1941 was $106,000,000, of
which the Steagall products repre-
scented $19.988,870, or 1873 per cent;
for 1943-1945 the average farm in
come per year was $245,404,000, of
which $45,67O,911 or 1876 per cent was
for the commodities in question.
That there will BE a genuine recon
version problem for Montana farmers
as world markets are no longer in
need of our surplus food production,
is shown in the enormous increase of
volume of these products during the
war years These statistics prove
cOnclusively that, with our economy
very definitely in for a downward
spiral, Montana farmers may not be
able to level off to peace time pro-
ductiOn, as the Standard assumes,
during the remaining two years of
the Steagall support plan, without
further assistance from our federal
government.
Six Times AS Many Hogs
Hog production during the years

last three war years production of
324,730,OO0 pounds, valued at $12,932,-

Turkey production, while down in
