Glacier to be Used for
Study Of Business
Benefits from Parks

A study of the revenues that
come to Montana and Flathead
county as a result of Glacier ma
tional park has just been started.
Here this week was national
park economist, Roy A. Prewilt,
and Glacier is to be the first ma
tional park used In this type Of
study.
Last year, the park attracted
324,396 visitors, and the rule of
thumb" method to measure ben
efits to local business was the
estimate that each visitor spends
an average of $40 in the area.
Other factors are the revenues to
the state from such sources as
gasoline taxes.
The $40 from the average Wis
itor measure is also the basis for
the estimate that Flathead county
now derives 100000 each year
from vacationers.

Balmy ! Thursday Brings
Flathead Spring Day

Finally on Thursday the Fiat
head valley knew it was spring as
the thermometer reached 81 for
the first time since last October
16.
April, ordinarily the Flatheads
drvest month with 80 inch precl-
pitation including 1.6 inches snow
this year has already seen l.o9 IN
ches precipitation and 8 mcne $
snow. Hungry Horse had had Z'lz
precipitation.
AS a result of the wetter ana
colder. April, spring farm work mas
been delayed two weeks. There Is
also some thought that the de-
layed spring may result in sudden
melting of mountain snow and RI
yer flooding downstream. Inc
spring runoff has been late IN
starting.

Pacifist Organization
Speakers Oppose New
Draft Law at Meeting

The new draft law brought oppo-
sition last night from pacifist or
tganizations here who discussed the
issue In the Friends Meeting House.
| Although no longer eligible be-
cause he Is over the age limit of
Is, Caleb Foote. one Of the speakers,
declared he still would not register
for the draft.
Mr.. Foote, who formerly was West
Coast secretary Of the Fellowship
of Reconciliation, said he had been
sentenced to one term OF six months
and another of two years during
the late war for violation OF the
Selective Service Act on grounds
Of being q conscientious objector.
He said he registered, but refused
to obey the provisions for objectors.
Cites Tax for Arms.
Mr.. Foot said he felt the best
hope of stopping the trend Of the
United States toward war" is for
men to start to refuse to obey laws
that are leading us into war"
So long as tax money Is being
spent "for atomic bombs, forms of
meteorological warfare and con-
scription," he said he advocated re-
fusal to pay income tax.
Mr.. Foote spoke of the newly
formed Central Committee for Con-
scientious Directors, which, he ex-
planned is an organization TO back
and support men who resist the Sc
lective Service Act.
He remarked that the new law
Is more strict" with regard to regu-
lations concerning conscientious OBJ
jectors than the war act, because
the current legislation terms mere
philosopher" or humanitarian OBJ
jectives as insufficient to qualify q
person as a conscientious objector.
Ora Huston Speaks.
He pointed out that in 1910, there
we're many cases in which the courts
conceded such beliefs as enough to
establish an objector's status.
Another speaker was Ora Huston.
executive secretary Of the National
Service Board for Religious OBJ
jectors, who discussed Religious
Directors Under the New Draft
Law"
Mr.. Huston declared his group is
seeking to interest draft registrants
in how to take full advantage of
these provisions.
The meeting was held under the
sponsorship Of the Washington
Pacifist Fellowship Draft Informa-
ton Service and the Friends Com
mittee for Counseling Those Affect
ed by the Draft.
The groups maintain colnseling
and information services for con-
scientious objectors.

CANTA CLAUS is one of the most ' precious wonders of childhood. American mothers overwhelmingly agree that he should be portrayed as the spirit of generosity, kindli- ness. and gift-giving.
 Although the modern conception of Santa Claus is American, the Spirit of Santa Claus is neither modern nor American. The real Saint Nicholas lived in Asia Minor and ever since his death in 343 stories concerning him have been repeated around the firesides of Europe
 The children of Lapland and, northern climates naturally picture Santa dressed in fur and dashingl through the snow in a reindeer, drawn sleigh. But in central, Europe. St. Nicholas first appeared on his liturgical feast day, Decem- Der 6, and he was a thin, austerei churchman who rode a mule and carried gifts for good children and bundle of birch rods with which to switch the naughty.
 Under Dutch influence St. Mich olas lost his solemnity. The Dutch colonists who brought him to Amer ica were very practical people and they decided against two gift-giving days in the same month. Thus, Sinter Klass started coming around only at Christmas time.
 Santa Gets Sleigh.
 Eventually, ancient legends were woven into American Christmas traditions. Washington Irving sent St. Nicholas flying through Christ mas skies in reindeer-draWn sleigh in 1909; Dr. Clement Moore's poem "The Night Before Christmas" written in 1922, gave Santa " :. .. little round belly that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly" and a series of drawing in 1868 by Thomas Mast added much to the traditional pictures and ap- pearance of the Santa we see today.
 In every youngsters life there comes the time when he begins to suspect that the various be- whiskered gentlemen, so numerous during this season, are not exactly the real Santa Claus Wise parents advance the helper theory as soon as they are asked questions and teach their children to make the Christmas dreams of less fortunate tots and their families come true.
 Thus, the real Santa Claus isn't just myth or legend. He is the Spirit of Christmas who lives in the sparkling eyes of children and In the hearts of all grown-ups who ttrive for peace and good will tmong men.

Magi Were Priests .Of Persian Religion

Along about this time of the year there's a lot written, said and sung about the Magi. Just who were the Magi, anyway?
 The Magi were priests of an ancient Persian religion called Zoroastrianism The Greek histor- ian Herodotus gives very favor able account of them and their influence in a society which existed four hundred years before Christ's birth.
 According to Herodotus the Magi were powerful in public and private affairs. They conducted the educa- lion of the young princes, and were in constant attendance upon the king as counselors.
 This description of a Magi ap- pears in the sacred writing of Zorro aster: "Thou shouldst call him priest, who sits the whole night thru and yearns for holy wisdow that enables man to stand upon death s bridge fearless and with happy heart, the wisdom whereby he at- tains the holy and glorious world of paradise.
 The three Magi, or Wise Men, who followed the Star of Bethlehem and brought gifts of gold, frank incense and myrrh to the Christ child remain nameless, but they were the first to recognize the importance of the birth of the Prince of Peace.

Parents Can Spoil Children's Play

Here's Christmas resolution for parents. It's one that ought to be made before New Years resolutions are even considered. It goes, "I will keep my hands off the children S toys all day on Christmas.
 It'll be hard one to keep because Mother likes to fuss with Ann's doll. She pretends she is showing Ann how to put on the bonnet, but she's actually having a grand time play ing. And once Father gets his hands on the train, or the auto that winds up, the boys can't get near them.
 It isn't fair. The children are cry ing for little peace and freedom. After all, adults can play with toys for the next 364 days if they want to.
