A. species Of raccoon has
sprung up in this section OF
Montana, the like of which is
seldom found anywhere, so far
as is known, in the United
States.
This fact is attested by De
Cleveland of Ballantine, field
man for the Midland Pea, who
has freed scores of them and
has photos and a storage of
coon pelts as proof of the
statement.
These tcoons are of unusual
size, averaging nearly double
the weight of the Mississippi
valley variety.
Many natives of Montana will
be surprised to learn of the ex-
istence of these black-faced
creatures in an area once de-
void of the SaVageS, evident in
corn fields, gardens and or
chardS. The raccoons are very
fond of ripening ears of corn,
melons, fruit, berries and po-
tatoes. They live on fish-most-

People of Montana Make
Their State Big" is the title
of an article appearing recent
ly in the Christian Science
Monitor, written by Leavitt F.
Morris, the newspapers travel
editor.
The article follows:
Montana is big. And so are
its people.
Tehy are big in bigger way
than physical stature. They are
big in their hearts; big in their
hospitality and friendship for
the visitor; they are big in
that they don't think of them
selves but of the other fellow.
After travelling several days
in this diversified state you
know it is big, acreage wise.
But you also discover that 1t
isn't necessarily the scenery; it
isn't necessarily the food or
the comfortable aceommoda-
lions which leave favorable inn
preSsions on the visitor but it
is the people behind these
things which capture your
heart.
It is the pleasant congenial
guide that pilots you across the
lake; it's the open-hearted
greeting of the hotel owner;
or the friendly smile of your
waitress that make you real
lie that any state is as big as
the people behind it.
And that doesn't mean nu-
merically, either. Montana has
only 100000 or so persons SCAT

State Hedlth Official
Principal Speaker
At MonddY Meeting

Discussion Of the possibility
of setting up a county health
department. followed talks by
Dr.. B. K. Kilbourne, executive
officer, Montana state board OF
health; Dr. NJ. ". Hargett, re-
gional medical officer, q. S.
Indian Service, Billings, and
DR.. Roy O. Yeats, Hardin, at
a meeting of the Big Horn
County Health Council last
Monday night at the court
house in Hardin.
The meeting was presided
over by August Heitman, pres
ident of the council, and Mrs.
T. 1. Dehnert introduced the
principal speaker, DR.. Kill
bourne.
The county health depart
ment as planned would be fl
nanced Is percent each by the
state board of health, the IN
dian Service, school districts in
the county and county funds.
Public health depends upon
the attitude of the people OF
the community, DR.. Kilbourne
said, adding that statistics
over a period of years prove
that a properly functioning
health program can materially
raise the health standard of a
community. He explained the
organization of a health pro-
gram and said that arproxi-
mately three-fomths of the
counties in the country now
have health departments.
The speaker said the most
valuable resource of any com
munity is its people. To raise
a child from birth to age 10,
according to statistics, costs
the community $4,000, he
said, and investment in a coun-
ty health department to in
sure the health of the citi-
zens is good, sound business
policy.
Rural people benefit from a
health program as much as
those in towns or cities, DR..
Kilbourne said. He also men,
toned the pre-school well
child conference as a very inn
portant part of the health pro-
gram.
A part-time health officer is
not sufficient for a community
of this size, DR.. KilbOurne be-
IeVeS, and he urged the set
ting up of a full-time health
program in Big Horn county.
Dr. Hargett explained the
health problem from the stand
point of the Indian Service,
stating that although the SER
vice is doing all possible in
health work on the Crow and
Northern Cheyenne reserva-
tions, the program is made
quate and he believes that by
combining forces with the
state, county and local school
districts, much more can be
accomplished.
The birth and death rate is
higher among Indians than
whites, DR.. Hargett said. The
ratio of tuberculosis among In
dams is IL times as high
as among whites he added.
Placing emphasis upon a pre-
tentative health program, DR..
Hargett said the Indian ser
vice is ready and willing to
underwrite Is per cent of the
cost of a county health de-
l/partment for Big Horn county
"a stipulation made by the
Indian Service was that

"HOME, SWEET HOME"
By Flora Schwager
(Continued from Page ID

1y q DloNO cAl1O1 N11AS AOONAs S1ASA
ter, and a change of clothing.
This presents a serious prob
lem involving the future citi-
zens of America, for it is in the
home that children acquire
their attitudes and basic appre-
citation of high ideals.
There are several factors
which have caused this disso-
luton of the American family.
One of these factors is the wide
and varied interests of the
modern age. Mother no longer
needs to read her offspring
fairy story; for only 25 cents
the darling can go to the local
Bijou and see Bloody Muir
der" This may seem rather
far fetched, but actually it is
convenient for parents, bored
with the monotonous routine
of the day, to send the children
to the movies for entertain
ment while they themselves go
to the neighbors for a game of
bridge.
Another reason for the break
in the family circle is the fact
that mothers work outside of
the home. This, unfortunately,
is a situation which many times
cannot be avoided. On the 9TH
er hand, in some cases the
families seem to regard none
tary values higher than the
moral and social values for the
children. At any rate, the fact
remains that a woman, tired
from eight hours work, and, in
addition, facing the never end
ing job of homework, has lit
tie time to devote to the diver
sion of her youngsters.
Today, some authorities are
proclaiming that television is
the solution to the problem of
diverging families. However,
this modern convenience is still
too expensive for the average
American pocketbook; more
over, television merely offers
an excuse for members of the
family to congregate in the liv-
ing room - the conversation
and companionship being as
stimulating as that in a morgue.
No, the solution lies in a
deeper root. There must be
genuine interest on the part of
the parents in their children's
activities, and there must be
actual participation by the par
ents in their children's amuse-
ments. For example, in one
family the father has bought
his teen-age son a moving pic
ture camera. Consequently, in
addition to the pleasure afford
ed in taking pictures, the en-
tire family is able to enjoy the
results of this hobby. In anoth-
er home, Dad helps Junior
build his model airplane. while
Nom reads to Sally.
However, association through
activities is not sufficient; the
family must work together and
discuss mutual problems to-
gether. Moreover, parents must
present and practice the prop
er intellectual outlook on the
moral and ethical codes of So
ciety. My classmates have Just
spoken about the need for de-
Vel0ninU racial tnlnrannn nnd
