Mrs. mahaIa {. Mueller
OF Denver Assumes
Charge Of Craft Shop

Mrs. Mahala E. Mueller, wild
ow of the late Louis C. Mueller
who was long associated with the
Indian Service, arrived from
Denver recently to assume her
duties as manager Of the North
ern Plains Indians Crafts Associ-
alton and to supervise the retail
craft shop located in the Museum.
Because of revived interest in
authentic Indian crafts, many
skilled Blackfeet craftmen, as
well as craftsmen from other
reservations, are devoting the
winter months to the production
of handicrafts. These crafts are
of superior workmanship and find
a ready market through shops
and large department stores that
cater to a discriminating public.
The Association is constantly
expanding and is now furthering
a campaign to develop winter
markets along with their seasonal
outlets, thereby providing addit-
ional income for the craft work
ers. There are now five reserva-
ton organizations belonging to
the Association and it is the hope
of Mrs. Mueller that more tribes
from Montana and Wyoming will
organize their craft production
and use the Association as sales
medium.
Residents of this area have the
rather unusual opportunity of
selecting Christmas gifts that
are representative of this areas
best craft work and in order to
enable them to make their selec.
tons the Museum Craft Shop
will be open to the public during
the pre- Christmas season.

Cut Bank MAY
Be Without
disqualification

Cut Bank is facing one of the
most serious, if not the most SER
ious. of problems in it's history,
since Mary Everson, owner of
the Cut Bank Hospital, is deter
mined to either sell the property,
lease it or suspend operations.
Recently she served an ultima
tum for the benefit of the Coun-
ty Commissioners and the Cut
Bank Chamber of Commerce, in
which she insisted that if there
was no immediate buyer or lessee
it would be closed November %.
Latest word is that it is still
operating.
Mary Blomstrom of Cut Bank:
acting as her broker, originally
asked 5000, 900. Last Thursday
at hurried session of the Cham
Der of Commerce, there were
discussions of a subsequent Of
fer that of $3.50, 600.
Last year taxpayers of Glacier
County by an overwhelming ma
jority favored a $4,000 bond
issue for a new county hospital.
Because of initiation, cost of
the improvement is now esti-
mated at $50, 900 additional.
Up to the present no actiou has
been taken by the commissioners
for the improvement. To pro-
coed with it. it would be neces-
sary to get the additional sum
through a supplemental bond
issue.
1t is understood from a legal
source that the county commiss-
toner's are without right to ap-
propriate any of the funds avail
able from the bond issue to fin
ance any project other than
what was represented to the
taxpayers at last years election.
In other words. not a penny of
it could be used to lease or buy
the Cut Bank Hospital.
If it comes to the worst. Cut
Bank doctors will have to seek
disqualification for their patients
elsewhere, as will also Glacier
County.
The situation is really tragi-
cal. A hospital is not a luxury.
Its functioning is that of striving
to have life triumph over death.
A moments delay in hospitaliza-
ton needs not to be elaborated up
on in its consequence of sadness.
The robust and healthy ones at
Cut Bank are humping heads
over what to do to solve the hos
pital problem. The b UNI pi ing
may put them in the hospital
but what hospital?

PRICKETT GUEST SPEAKER
DIR. Prickett Addresses Dover
Rotarians

DR.. Clarence j. Prickett, SUPER
of the State Welfare
Home and member of the Smyrna
Rotary Club, was guest speaker at
the meeting of Dover Rotary Club,
Tuesday, September 9. He related
many interesting facts concerning
the operation and management of
the institution. He stated that,
since the State Welfare Home was
the population of the insti-
tuition has increased rapidly until
now it has reached its maximum
capacity of between $50 and $50
occupants. The power plant and
kitchen, however, are adequate to
take care of about 800 guests, but
there is great need for additional
housing facilities. DR.. Prickett
voiced the opinion that the number
of people who become dependents
upon the State or government can
be reduced materially by the prop
er education of youth and middle
aged individuals to practice better
living methods with a view to pro-
longing their health in later years.

HOME HIT BY
HIGH FOOD COST
DIR. Prickett States That Food
Funds Are Now Over
drawn at Welfare Home
SERIOUS AT MEMORIAL

The high cost of food is wreck
ing budgets and causing meat
less" days in Delaware's hospital
and institutions, it was learned
Monday night. Already overdrawn
on their food budget, money is be-
ing taken from funds ordinarily
used for repairs and clothing at the
Welfare Home in Smyrna to obtain
food, according to DR.. c. ]. Prick
EFT, head of that institution. The
cost of food for the residents of the
Welfare Home was higher last
month than any time in the history
of the institution, DR.. Prickett
said. "The heaviest percentage of
our budget this. year goesfor food, Z"
he said. Raw food for each pa
tient now runs from 60 to rs cents
per day." DR.. Prickett added. This
goes to buy meat, eggs, chickens
and vegetables. Attempting to
save on the budget, the Welfare
Home is raising their own potatoes,
squash, onions and tomatoes, said
DR.. Prickett. Lemons are out of
the question and fruit prices are
heavy" he, declared. On meatless
days, which occur once or twice
week there, eggs, fish and some
times chicken are substituted.
When meat is used, said DR.. Prick
ett, the supply is extended as far
as possible through the use of
stews, hamburger and other
stretched menus. In Wilmington
the Memorial Hospital is tire
mendously over" its food budget
and general funds are being used
for food, according to Mrs. Grace
L. Littles, hospital superintendent.
While there has been no cut in the
patients menus in that hospital,
the personnel experiences lone fish
day" a week. At the first of the
year, what was considered "gen-
erous allowance for food" was
made in the budget, Mrs. Little
said. Even at that time, she add
ed, they tried to buy an advance
supply of food and staples. All in
dications are that similar condi-
tions exist in other hospitals with
dieticians, working over strained
budgets and meatless days once
again looming on the horizon.
