Refinishing RefrigeratOrs

Kitchen refrigerators can be fin
ished with two brush coats of quick
drying enamel of any desired color.
However, it is advised by experts in
finishing that the job be done with
a spray gun by a man who special
ICES in such work. In either case,
surface of the refrigerator must be
absolutely clean and free from any
trace of greasy film which might
impair adhesion of the new finish.

THE KOOTENIA DAM

posed project leaves them in doubt
as to the feasibility of such a plan.
After much discussion by the
Great Northern company counsel,
the J. Neils counsel and John Myers
of the Zonolite company on the re-
location of the Great Northern rail
road and the added expense in
Volved and uncertainty of the gov
ernment "shouldering" the re-estab-
lishment of this route of transporta-
ton. the Colonel advised that &C
cording to tentative plans. Libby
would not have to worry about be-
ing left without railway transpor-
tation.
The loss of taxable properties was
explained by the engineer who
stated the government will assume
what lost taxes there would be I'M
til future industry created by the
dam would again build up that in
come.
Former Lincoln County Atty
Thomas Long made several pointed
remarks, not necessarily endorsing
or opposing the plan. He expressed
the opinion that much of the argu-
mentS had taken on the appear
ance of red Herring" and that Lib
byites must help to make their own
future and not necessarily depend
on one man or one power to pull
them through to bright future. He
made a COMPARISON with the time
"a dead Kalispelf' was predicted
following its loss of the main line
of the Great Northern some years
ago and how that city demonstrated
that if people have the courage they
can overcome what might seem in
surmountable obstacles, and that
potential possibilities of the dam
should be considered.
During discussion Colonel Hew-
lit explained that a report of the
meeting will be sent to Washing
ton D. c. engineers. who will study
the feasibility of both physical and
economic aspects, as we'll as the
opinion of the public. Further
opinions, favoring or in opposition
to the project will be received by
the u. S. ENGINEERS Corps and care
fully co-ordinated with what data
has already been collected for fl
nal decisions.

RANKIN FAVORS
ROAD EQUALITY AND
BETTER ROADS

Wellington D. Rankin said: Mon
tana is Disseminated against by the
Federal government when it comes
to roads.
why should not the Federal gov
eminent give to Montana as large
a percentage of Federal funds as the
Federal government gives to neigh
boring states?
why should Montana receive
only 81 per cent and Nevada 80 per
cent of the cost of construction,
Utah 70 per cent, Arizona II and
Idaho 81 per cent? If Nevada puts
up $l.0O, it gets $4.55 in Federal
money. If Montana puts up $1.00, it
gets only S1.33 in Federal money.
IF I am elected TO the United
States Senate I will fight for a bet
ter percentage of road money to
match ours. ! will fight to get as
many dollars in money for Montana
for those we put up as any other
state gets. The Government has a
formula, but I do not agree with
the formula. l say, treat Montana
the same as Nevada, Utah, Arizona,
Wyoming and Idaho"

There a fine camp was establish

property which was refused, and

things of life. Well, reader, if a
gourd were your best possession,
how would you like to have tin

Winter rains raise the Inambara
about so feet and each year that
swirling torrent brings down more
gold. leaving much of it above the
low water mark. That has been the
main source of Inca gold for genera
tions. Woods believes that so miles
of the river could be successfully
dredged.
Capital, transportation and thous-
ands of young men are needs, as
Woods sees it, for the modern de-
velopment of that great land, where
his son is carrying on operations.
Aircraft should play dominant
part in the new look soon to be
given our neighbors to the south.
The Incas built roads connecting
Cuzco with Quito, 1000 miles =
distance comparable to that from

HIGHLIGHTS
of the REPORT on the
FISCAL AFFAIRS
of the Municipality of ST. croix
Virgin Islands
Continued from Tuesday,

Conclusions and Recommend
ations: Police and fire protec-
ton functions in st. Croix
have many characteristics in
common. The fire protection
involves the responsibility for
protecting the community
from the dangers of fire; the
conduct of an active program
of continuing inspections to
identify and eliminate existing
fire hazards. Distinguishing
fires involves, as does a major
police incident, a quick res
ponse with adequate manpow-
er and equipment. The effec-
tiveness of performance in
both functions is dependent
IN large part on adequate COM
munications. Both functions
require physically fit, we'll
trained personnel under semi
military discipline, qualified
to deal with emergency situa-
tons and organized SO as to
bring to bear Immediately in
any emergency the required
manpower and equipment. In
a situation such as that in st.
Croix, the specialized know
Lodges required of either po-
licemen or firemen are not SO
complex as to make it impos-
sible for reasonably intellig-
ent men to master the require
ments of both.
