GOV. FORD MAKES
STATEMENT REGARDING
HANDICAPPED WORKERS

Gainful and suitable employment
for all physically handicapped work
erS is the en-purpOSe sought dur
ing the week of October to 9,
observed as Enjoy the Physically
Handicapped week in Montana and
throughout the nation.
This is a time for emphasizing
the employers the desirability and
the actual advantages to be gained
through utilization of handicapped
workers. 1t is a time for encourag-
ing the handicapped person to avail
himself of means for restoration and
training to re-fit him into produc-
tive employment. It is the time for
combining the facilities of public
and private agencies in support of
that program of restoration, train
ing, and employment of the ply
sically handicapped citizens.
In a broader sense, this special
week is insufficient. Every week
should be Enjoy the Physically
Handicapped" week. Experience of
years has proven that the handi-
capped worker, who is placed in
work suitable to his capacities, is
the equal of his unchanged fellow
worker Often he is even more pro-
ductive and more dependable. He
is an asset to his employer and a
benefit to his community and his
state.
/ commend all handicapped work
ers for their enterprise and their
performance in industry, and all
employers for their extension of
work opportunity. The efforts of
public and private agencies to pro-
mote full employment opportunity
for handicapped persons is deSer-
wing of generous and cordial sup
mort from all

ing questions concerning the Shell
ton agreement, and the proposed
agreement in Lincoln County. Bill
Guernsey, Supervisor of the Koo-
tenai National Forest, assisted Mr.
Gillespie and Mr.. Shawl in answer
ing the questions. The meeting was
then devoted to individual and
group criticism of the proposed
Some of the criticisms
were that the proposed boundary
takes in too large an area; that some
of it logically belongs to the Eur
eka area; although the Agreement
would be a great benefit to the Lib
by area. it would not directly bene-
fit the Eureka area; that the public
had no assurance the NeilS Com
Dany would install new facilities to
the utilization of the saw
logs; that there would be a smaller
amount of timber available for the
small operator to bid on in the
Eureka area, which would result
n cut-throat competition, while
Neils would not have to bid COM
oetitively for their stumpage; and
hat it would create a monopoly
One representative stated his or
