Job Turnover HiQh
As. Glacier Seeks
Lookout Couples

Glacier national park is having
difficulty finding qualified, young
married couples for twelve noun
tain top forest lookout jobs.
In the past two summers, the
park found that young couples
are the most suitable lookouts. In
the event of lightning storms there
are four eyes instead of two. If
a fire starts near the lookout, the
husband can get to the blaze IN
a hurry, leaving his wife on watch
at the station.
However, of the eight married
couples who had lookout jobs last
summer, six now have a third
member in the family. 1t is not
feasible to take children to the
isolated mountain tops.
Best qualified for lookout jobs
are college engineering and for
estry students with veterans gil
ven preference.

Farmers Vote For
Soil Conservation

Upper Flathead county farm
ers Wednesday favored enlarge
ment of the present soil conserv-
alton district.
They voted 247 in favor and 20
against the proposal to include
the rest of Flathead county in the
soil conservation district. The pre-
sent district of 7O7,OOO acres IS
mostly souh of Kalispell, and the
addition of 2,6O6, 100 acres will in
clude the rest of the county.
About so per cent OF the farm
ers in upper Flathead county cast
their vote Wednesday. Bad Rock
approved the plan 46 to 4; La
Sale 46 to q; Columbia Falls IS
to g; Whitefish ia to Z and Bis
sell IA to 0. Half Moon voted 7
to 2 against.
Next move is action by the
state soil conservation committee
to enlarge the district. The vote,
both in sentiment and numbers,
reflects the desire of the farmers.
Contrary to few rumors, soil
conservation is not an arbitrary
crop control program such as
practiced in the 1905. Rather it is
a voluntary arrangement where
farmer, if he asks for it, can OBJ.
tain technical assistance and infor-
nation in soil betterment methods.
