MONTANA HIGHWAY
PATROL

Dou YOU want 4 hcadstonc i'll 50.
Do YOU: Montana Highway Patrol
Supervisor L. II. Uack) England
today reminded all motorists that
a good way To become a statistic
and a fond memory to the loved
ones is to drive like an ordinary
driver on the coming week end.
There are several different ap-
proaches by which a person can
get his name carved in granite. and
the family car is one oil the most
effective tools to- accomplish this.
Seriously, however. there will be
many cars on the highways for the
three day Memorial holiday. These
cars will be operated by all sorts oil
drivers; capable and less capable
healthy and sick, sober and i'll var
ious stages OF inebriation, tired
angry. and i'll all sorts OF conditions
which will influence their ability
to operate their cars England said
1T would be impossible to expect
everyone to desert the highways
when such a good opportunity to
get out Of town presents itself, ht
continued. but it is only reasonable
that all drivers should be aware OF
the increased traffic hazards under
such conditions and should govern
themselves accordingly
Here are some tips that will help
to get you home safely from that
holiday trip. ii you will follow them
l.. Start early, but not at the
expense OF sleep. SO that YOU car
drive at a reasonable rate OF speed
and still arrive at your destination
on time.
, Be sure your car is in good
working order, particularly with re-
gard to lights, brakes, tires, wind
shield wipers, etc.
3. If you should stop for an
emergency, pull as far t. the right
side OF the road as possible, and
do not let the passengers in the car
stand around in the traffic lanes
If your stop is not an emergency
get completely off the travelled sur
face.
4. Use the regular hand signals to
indicate changes in speed or dir
ection, and give them we'll enough
in advance that the car following
may take necessary action to avoid
a crash.
5. Get rhythm with the general
flow Of traffic. Ii other cars are
going at As or 50 miles per hour,
you should drive at that rate OF
speed also. You get into trouble
when you get ont OF step with other
traffic.
8. Know and obey all road signs
Round signs mean that YOU will
cross a railroad track or two with
in 300 feet; Oblong signs indicate
traffic regulations such as speed
limits, no passing zones, etc; Dia-

IS CONGRESS

BY: Elliot Carlton. LABOR
O Columnist

.Ahe Lincoln. who should have

The people. Abe really believed it.
loo. ior he tried pretty hard to coun;
in everyone. all the people-includ-
ing the slaves.
That was more than a lifetime
ago. You'd think that in all that
time the idea would have gotten
across. Nou'd think 50. especially
when You recall that we had got
ten a head start towards under
standing that i,lea with IL Declar-
alton oi independence.
Maybe. though. almost everybody
does haze that idea. Everybody.
that is. but Our senator's and rep
rc,cntaliycs. IT. a sure thing that
that election last year mean that
, we had caught wise that a nation
such as ours must provide for all
lit, people. We had caught wise t.
the TACT that the SOth congress had
ignored the people in behalf OF the
DiNiecrats. the Wall Street boys. and
the Real Estate lobby.
50 we voted them out.
You'd think. then. that the Slst
Congress would know what we want.
You'd think that this Congress
would know that we're for strict
rent control. You'd think that our
politicos would understand that the
Taft-lIartley thing goes against the
grain OF the American people.
The Dixiecrats took such a beat
ing in that election that you'd be
sure that they had learned the les
son that the people have no use
Tor them. And ever it they didn'l
you'd think that the rest OF Con-
eress would have gotten the idea.
I'ut-Congress has failed to re-
peal the poll tax. In failing t,
act, Congress has made it cleai
that il still believes that this is /;
nation for some OF the people. Ii
failing to act. Congress has givei
our foreign policy a black eye b!
giving the totalitarians a propagand;
ace in the hole.
Congress seems to have forgotten
all about a lair employment prac

grcss has forgotten the people, it
no wonder that it doesn't care t,
're-establish an F.E.P.C., for iai
employment practices simply mean
that you're going to treat a persol

not going to keep him out OF a jo'

Sfeed Criticizes Parents
For ChiIdren's Relief CosI
BY the Associoted Press


Representative Steed, Democrat
Of Oklahoma, said yesterday that
the cost of relief to dependent
children is mounting steadily be
cause worthless parents are de-
serting their children and leaving
them for the American taxpayer
to support"
I'm providing for the child. we
failed to make any preparations
to punish those parents who can
and should but, because of lack
of common decency, fail and re-
fuse to provide for their own
flesh and blood" Mr.. Steed said
in radio address.
He said the abuse has developed
to the point where conservative
estimates show that IS per cent
of the total relief roll in some
States is represented by such
cases."
He said he is seeking enact
ment of two bills to remedy the
situation. They would Cd make
it mandatory for welfare workers
to report to the prosecuting at
.torney if there is evidence of child
desertion, and CD make it a Fed
eral crime for a parent to desert
a child and then cross a State
line.
