These were not politicians, pro-
fessional glad-handers. These were
civic leaders in the very old
fashioned sense: industrialists,
merchants, theater operators, pub
fishers, educators, union-leaders,
doctors, lawyers - men respected
and looked up to by everybody
else in the community.

The first and obvious question
was asked:
But aren't the city and county
officials supposed to look out for
the welfare and development of
the community"
Yes" was the answer, but
responsibility is shared by the
citizens. The people must make
suggestions officials can champion.
You and l, in groups like the '48
Corporation, are the people"
This was a challenge to a dis
ease creeping through Amer
lea: the apathetic electorate.
Every community has felt it hap
pen - the voter who doesn't regis

make it a democracy. Other cities
were in the fight against that
paralysis. The leaders of '48 put

Merchants Take
inventories

Browning merchants during
the week have been busy with
their inventories, most of them
reporting completion of the work.
With heavy buying through
December, stocks were consider
ably reduced as to offset stocks
received from wholesalers. In
fact, with demand reducing
seasonal stock, such as winter
wear early in November, inven-
tories contained little of such
merchandise on hand.

Old Man Winter
Still On Thrones:
ToughOnRoads

Old Man Winter has not made
any "about face" since the ush-
ering in of the tt m e since the
1917 beinning.
Early in the week billiards
comparable with any since the
fore part of November continued
for many hours as to keep roads
filled, Those operating snowplow
equipment are having their or
deal, with wind filling up cleared
passages as fast as opening can
be made. However, gains are be-
ing made in the movement of
cattle from points of feed scarcity
on the reservation to other points
where feed is available.
With such a heavy disposal of
cattle and sheep Iby reservation
growers during the last f e W
weeks, next spring should wit
ness considerable replacement.
Though sheep may be high, it
is understood that they will be
available in any desired number
in I d a h o and other adjoining
states where the industry has not
been suffering severity of wealth
er and feed shortage.
At any rate, outside sheepmen
will be in quest of all available
grazing land on the reservation
when spring arrives.
As to cattle replacement, there
are encouraging prospects, with
southern states being able to
furnish what is likely to be in de-
mand.
With so much moisture during
the last few weeks, prospects for
a bounteous supply of wild hay
are bright, thus being an encour-
aging factor for the futures cat
tie and sheep industry.
A compilation of weather sta
tistics at the Agency recently
brought out that up to two weeks
ago, more snow had fallen since
November than during the heavy
memorable moisture season back
some 20 years ago.
With an average continuance
of snowfall during the next
several months, the 1946-47 win
ter stands to establish a record
beyond any in the memory of
local people now residing on the
reservation.
