from out of state, were among those

Copeland, president of Rocky Noun
tain college, and U. j. Carmichael,

Pres. Oliver Void announced the
program committee for August and
Sec. R. B. Packard reported that
the Laurel club ranked second in the
state for attendance during June,
quoting from the monthly report
issued by the district governors
The Laurel rating was 90.44
per cent. Only two clubs in the
district had a meeting each with 100
per cent attendance during the
month.
The secretary read an invitation
the Red Lodge Rotary club for
picnic near Red Lodge Aug. g.,
with Laurel Rotarians and families
as guests. The inter-club affair
stems from a meeting here last
when the Red Lodge club
was entertained at an evening din
ner and program.
Stuart C. Johnson, program COM
nitteeman, introduced the speaker,
Who discussed the operation of
Montana grade schools, high schools
md institutions of higher learning.
3ased on observations over a period
If years by instructors at the state
University, the speaker expressed
he opinion that many duties of
,ducation that at one time were
performed within the family circle
AVE been shouldered onto the
with the result that the
chools have not only to teach the
lcademic subjects but the duties of
citizenship and the art of living
'leasantly with others.
On the basis that education or
IS lack will favorably or unfavor-
bly, shape the future of the ma
ion, the opinion was expressed that
he school systems deserve better
understanding and financial and in
ellectual support.

K|WAN|S CELEBRATES
FIRST anniversary

Members of the Kiwanis club of
Billings were guests of the Laurel
Kiwanians as the latter celebrated
their first anniversary at a ladies'
night meeting Wednesday. The Bill
lings group provided the entertain
ment. Main speaker of the evening
was George E. Smell.
The program started with a re-
counting by DR.. r. j. Rosselot of
the Laurel clubs worth with local
Al club groups during the past
year. In February of 1947 the club
purchased a bred Berkshire gilt and
gave it to a local All boy with the
understanding that he was to keep
her and any boar pigs from her lit
ter, while the Kiwanis club was to
take all SOW pigs and give them to
other All club members. They re-
ceived SOW pigs, of which four were
placed in Yellowstone county and
one in Carbon. 1t was announced
that the breeder from whom the
original animal was purchased
would award another pig to the boy
whose sow made the most progress
during the year, and who wrote the
most interesting story about his
work with her.
Pres. w. A. Mccormick then re-
viewed the clubs other activities
and achievements during its first
year. These include the sponsor
ing of two girls to Girl Scout camp,
and one boy to Boys State.
Peter Yegen, Jr., was in charge
of the Billings clubs portions of
the evenings activities. Floyd
Werle, Jr., pianist, played "The
Song Is You," a comic number and
a polka from the Golden Age Bal
let" by Dimitri Szostakowicz.
Mearl L. Fagg complimented the
Laurel club on its work and spoke
of the benefits of community ser
vice.
Smell told the club of the primary
values of Kiwanis International. He
stressed friendship that comes from
participation in the organizations
activities and the great good that
can result. In his words: "The
serious business of Kiwanis is
friendship" He then spoke of the
procedures for internal organization
would tend to make each Ki-
wants club most effective and eff

Twelve-Year-Old Pet
Blackbird Talks; Has
5O-WOrd Vocabulary

Blackie, the pet magpie of Wes-
ley Henley, Jr., disdainfully cock
ed an eye at the youngsters play
ing near his cage, and because they
were not paying due respect to a
bird so cultured as he, said "Scram,
goodbye, beat it," There was no
doubt about what the ~12-year-old
bird had in mind, for though he
is limited to the so words in his
vocabulary, he speaks very plainly.
When in a loquacious mood he is
difficult to silence, but a stubborn
streak makes it impossible to as
sure his performing at any given
time.
Previously owned for a number
of years by Mrs. Warneke of Bill
lings, Blackie is quite used to life
in a cage; in fact, he has spent
so much time in a cage that he
has worn off most of his tail
feather. In spite of his long cap
tivity, he does not like to be hand
led and will create a great deal
of disturbance at any attempt to
pick him up. He becomes equally
excited at any threat to the safety
of food which he secretes in the
of his cage cover. Apparent
~ he has no faith in the future.
Blackie's owner, Wesley, a high
school junior and is a member of
the Science club. His greatest in
terest lies in the field of biology.

A Giant Among Giants
By A. D. B~raithwaite

Today is the Great Emancipa-

1t vas on a February ~, a CEN
:uly-and-ago that Abraham Lin
coin was born in a squalid back
woods cabin. He was destined for
greatness was this crawny little
boy with the sharp wit and ser
ious demeanor. A meteor among
meteors, a giant among giants,
that is what he was to become
who started out in life against
such great h%andicaps.
1t was truly an age of giants
in which Lincoln lived. He had to
be great to shadow such shapers
of our destiny as the poets Long

Rights Program

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. GAN
P)-Things are awfully hot po-

southern senators and represen-
tatives have virtually taken to
arms over President Truman's 10
point civil rights program. So
heated has the situation become,
that for once it'll ooks as though
the oft-threatened but never ma
terializing break with the Demo-
cratic party is in the offing.
Last week, southern Democrats
poured out bitter venom against
the Presidents program, threat
ened to bolt their party and with
hold the solid south's 1877 cleo
torial votes from Mr.. Truman if
he is the Democratic nominee next
fall.
Specifically, the angry TRADE
directed against the Presidents
blanket demand for anti-lynching,
anti-poll tax, anti-jim o and
other legislation banning discrim-
ination against Negroes.
During the blasting, some of
the southern congressman proposed
that the II states Of the solid

nominate a candidate for whom
they could cast their electoral
votes-a move which would throw

HARMONY REPORTED
IN Cath. SCHOOLS

ST. LOUIS, Feb. IL. (ANP)-
Harmony between colored and
white pupils is the rule at the
Catholic schools here that former

vey taken by the St. Louis Post
Dispatch revealed this week.
No friction has been reported
to archdiocesan officials since the
new policy Of Archbishop Joseph
E. Ritterw as put into operation.
Although the number of Negroes
in these schools is still small the
newcomers are active in school
activities.
At Mcbride high two of the
four colored students went out for
the football and basketball teams.
This school has $50 boys enrolled.

Millions of words in eulogy
have been written about Lincoln,
and it will only be tedious to add
to them. But we think that one
remark should be made, namely,
that his greatness came from a
deep devotion to the people. In
our minds this was the greatest
testament he left us, this follow

believe in the dollar. But when |
am faced with a choice, I'll choose

know the number Of Negroes

Archbishop Ritter noted that
there was no necessity Of distin-
gushing Negro and white stu

were violent protests made last

Filipino Character
Invincible. Quirino

Highlighting the second anniver-
sary celebration of Philippine in
dependence, President Quirino de-
clared in a speech to the nation
last July 4th that TO the Philip
pines, Fourth of July signifies both
freedom to the Filipinos and gra-
itude to America"
President Quirino in his speech
recalled that two years ago there
we're many who seriously doubted
the capacity of the Republic to en-
lure. He pointed out that the dc-
complishments made within that
period constitute the best refuta-
ton of such fears. mot only has
those two years shown clear signs
Of amazing strength and vitality of
the people, but they have proved
that the Filipino character is
dauntless and inVincibIe," he af-
firmed.
