this bill gives me particular per-
sonal pleasure. Most of those who
profit by this bill are nurses who
served in World War l."
An indication of the changing
attitude throughout the country
is S.1107 which the Senate passed
this week. This grants permanent
authority to the President to arm
merchant ships in case of nation
al emergency.
In spite of the demand coming
in from every side for the elimin-
alton of the tax on colored oleo-
margarine the House Committee
on Agriculture voted to table all
pending bills for this purpose.
However, a subcommittee was ap-
pointed to study the subject with
instructions to report back by De-
cember 81.
Turkey is due for a by-election.
There are 9 vacancies to be filled
in the Grand National Assembly.
The last general elections were
held in July, 1916, giving 4O3 seats
to the Republican Peoples Party,
81 to the opposition Democratic
Party and 8 to Independents. It
is interesting that there are nine
women members.
The Turkish Ministry of Agri-
culture has prepared bin for the
free distribution of seed, and in
terest-free loans to farmers hit by
floods. frost, fire, drought. etc.
Interest on these loans will be
paid by the Ministry.
Try to picture 1868 tons of

imported in 1946-47. OF these, 92l
tons came from Turkey.

New Residents Become
REGISTERED Voters

Further indication of the growth
of the immediate Hungry Horse
area towns is the increase of reg
istered voters in Martin City.
Records at the court house in
dictate more than 100 newly reg
istered voters in the community
in the last three months. Martin
City and the older community OF
COram had a high vote of 139 in
the November 1916 general cleo
ton; now together they have $40
registered voters.
Also showing a marked increase
was Columbia Falls which now has
about 375 registered voters as
compared to a high vote of 237 in
the last general election. Adjac-
ent to the town of Columbia Falls,
Columbia precinct had 124 vot-
ers ballot two years ago, and now
about 200.
Generally more recent in arriv-
ing in the area are the families |
who live in Hungry Horse dam
town, Wagsmith and South Fork |
who will become more of a vote
factor in the fall election.
