He is able to behave social being when he is in
society, but he is not afraid of his own company He
knows that each day he must give time to con-
temptation = that is to looking over his actions of
the day and comparing them with his Intentions
making constructive plans for the future and simply
being himself
The problem, of course is where to find the time
or the place to be alone Singers and musicians are
fortunate for their work compes them to take time
to study and practice and time to rest before per-
formanCes or concerts.
IF MUSICIANS find such relaxation help then
think men and women in the business world would
too. Take little time before that next conference
to let your mind run away from office cares Break
the boredom of routine job, now and then, with a
few minutes of escape" thinking. If you have time
left over after lunch take walk, and daydream or
window-shop as you go.
Privacy of this sort can be found by any man. And
each of must find it if he is to remain consistent
and sane individual with normal, happy social life.

Learning to Live With Abundance

that is finally enacted but we look for a
raising of the minimum level to at least
rs percent of parity and perhaps higher.
Wherever the minimum is placed, the
long-range objective in the administration
of the law should be neither rs percent
nor 80 percent but a full 100 percent of
parity, since parity is the level at which
farm commodities have equitable purchas-
ing w on the general market.
But a price support program alone is not
enough. There must be adequate storage
to permit the orderly handling of periodic
supluses. There should be provision for in
creased food consumption by lower-income
groups. There should be a constructive pro-
gram to maintain substantial export vol
ume. And there must be encouragement of
a high level of urban employment at good
wages to maintain a strong domestic de-
mand for farm products.
These are the basic essentials of the
farm program on which congress will be
working during the coming months. The
legislation that will be enacted will not
constitute any final solution of the farm
problem. But it is hoped that it will prove
to De a strong forward step in national
policy that will help all the people to live
more intelligently with abundance.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

And then Skibbins answered his own
question by saying, "We need men in every
community to face the problems of natural
resources and industrial development, to
realize how nearly impossible these prob
lens are to solve-and then to solve them"
Montana has actually made encouraging
progress along some lines. There has been
real progress in developing agricultural
methods and practices adapted to Montana
soil and Montana conditions. There has
been progress in irrigation and we are on
the threshold of a broad new reclamation
and power development. There has been
progress in rural identification and in
marketing facilities. Important expansion
of mining and oil production has recently
been announced.
But Skibbins is right when he says that
Montana has failed to capitalize adequately
upon its opportunities. The state as a whole,
as well as the Individual communities, has
made too little conscious effort to develop
resources and possibilities for industrial
progress. And there is still a long way to
go in agricultural development.
What is needed is greater vision, magma
ton, cooperation and determination among
leaders and individuals. And more spark
plugs like that man Skibbins to keep us
reminded of our destiny.

Good Medicine for MOntanans

A STRAIGHT from the shoulder mes
sage was delivered to the people of
Montana last week when Gerald ]. Skib-
bins, research consultant for the Montana
Chamber of Commerce, charged that there
is too much indifference to the states eco
nomic opportunities.
While he was talking to the members of
the woolgrowers' association and urging
them to throw their active support behind
the effort to establish a wool processing
industry in the wool producing states of
the west, his remarks had a far wider ap-
plication.
development of Montana's natural re-
sources presents a challenge and an oppor-
tunity greater than that confronted by the
pioneers who opened the west 100 years
ago. | refer to the challenge of build
ing a civilization that is superior to all
others known to man. / mean creating a
way of life that combines western ideas
with modern technology. . We are sit
ting on top of one of the worlds greatest
storehouses of mineral wealth. We enjoy
tremendous power, water and fuel sur
pluses, with plans for even greater develop
ments on the way. Our soil has given us
bountiful wealth in grain, lumber, sheep
and cattle. What then is the ingredient
that is missing?"
