CASCADE Welfare OFFICE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
DEATH OF GREAT FALLS PENSIONER

Noting that the Cascade Public
Welfare Office on January 81 had
been advised that James Johnson was
critically in need of aid, and that
that office failed to render such i'm
mediate aid, the Cascade County Pro-
gressive Party this week stated that
Mr.. Johnson's subsequent death on
January "a was directly chargeable
to the negligence of welfare officials.
The Progressive party, according to
Secretary C. o. Edwards, has affidav-
its proving that the welfare office
was so notified
That another tragic death may
not result from other instances of
such negligence, the PIP in the follow

This is a view of the "home" occu-
pied by aged James Johnson when he
died from the severe cold few days
ago. The house shown here is part
of a ramshackled structure with
three apartments" which until late
last sumner housed three aged men.
The make shift house, neighbors said,
was former chicken house. This
picture was taken in the summer of
1919.

as follows on the passing of Mr.. John
son, who had been construction and
ranch worker all his life until recent
years when he became recipient of

death rode the cold wave into the
Great Falls area, leaving one man
dead and another in a critical condi-
ton.
1.-THE frozen body of James Mon
roe johnson was found this morning
January 24) in the 74-year old re-
tired carpenters shack at the rear
of 1905 Seventh Street South, Great
Falls.
"Johnson's death was discovered
at 10 this morning by another elder
ly man who lived nearby. He told
Deputy Sheriff James Burns and DR.
Lee Roy MacBurney that he went to
Johnson's place, a sort of woodshed
or chickencoop, to offer Johnson
cut of coffee and, getting no ans
wer, went inside and found Johnson's
body lying partly on his bunk and
partly on the floor. The neighbor
notified Johnson's landlord who in
turn called the Sheriff's office and
MacBurney.
Burns said the shack was as cold
as the outdoors. He said the top of
an old cookstove was covered with
burned paper, indicating that john
son may have awakened and tried TO
start fire and was either overcome
by smoke or was so nearly frozen he
collapsed. The old-type lamp in the
shed was lit. The shed contained |
nothing but the stove, bunk and sew
eral piles of old clothes. The neigh
Dor said he last saw Johnson alive |
Monday morning about 10. He was
in the habit of going there now and
then to offer Johnson coffee or bit |
of food, he told Burns.

MODERN ETIQUETTE
by Roberta Lee

@. How should the invitation to
act as a godparent be extended?
A. Either verbally Or by formal
note. The request can hardly be
refused, and one should consider
it an honor to be asked to stand
sponsor for a child.
@. When Introducing a person
to q group of people, is it neces-
sary to repeat his name to every
one in the group?
A. Usually just once is suffi-
Gent. However, if the group is
rather large and there is a chance
someone did not catch the name,
it may be repeated.
@. May a bride wear awhile
dress and a veil when being mar
ried in magistrates office?
A. No. The traditional white
is reserved for the church and
home weddings. She should wear
her going-away suit.
Q. When the band is playing
the College Alma Mater" should
those who did mott attend that
college stand up with the others?
A. Most certainly. To remain
seated would be conspicuously
rude.

SCHOOL BUSES


IT'S GOOD to see that ST. Thomas is providing buses
for It's school children in the rural areas. Regular readers of
the AVIS will recall that we ventned such a thought IN an
editorial months ago. Knowing the condition Of the budget,
and the extreme cautioness with which our legislature an
proaches new ideas, we did not expect any definite action
upon such a suggestion. Nevertheless, the idea having been
offered, there was still the slight probability that perhaps it
might not be dismissed outright Now, even coming closer To
home we find the St. Thomas Council providing transporta-
ton for children in rural schools, and this is the pattern all
over America.
81. HAS five rural schools widely separated. but
all OF them are on. the principal highways. To some of these
schools, little children have to walk many miles, and at times
under unfavorable conditions. We contend that a route can
be. worked out, and that with the number Of buses running
on our roads the problem is not as great as it seems. Intact,
because Of the location Of some Of these schools with relation
to the majority of homes served, it might not even be neces-
sary to service all schools. Off-hand we think that such a ser
vice for the LaValee School would not serve its purpose. It
is the only rural school in the Island which serves a concen-
trated little area, with perhaps the smallest attendance re-
cord: It is therefore not a matter Of s~egregating this particu-
lar school, but that the circumstances and conditions do not
warrant such service, and we believe that the people them
selves affected will see the light.
IT is NOT necessary that special BUSES be purchased
and operated by the Government for just this purpose. Of
course, in other places this is exactly what is done, but ii
these places the routes are long and tedious, and attendance
at out-oftow Shools rather large. However, here, there is
ample transportation aheadyon our roads and the nec@-
sary arrangements could be made, and something satisfactory
worked out. While we might enjoy being the very last to
adopt anything it might be well if we stopped long enough
to give some thought to suggestions which, if taken in time
might prove valuable to the entire Island.
THERE IS no need to go into 4 long drawn out discus
SION Of the values Of providing transportation. Ii has been
shown by experts who have studied the problem that the
, 1950-02-10

energy and time spent in walk
ing miles to schools, often in
unfavorable weather, could be
devoted to valuable study, re-
sultfng in better students, and
more satisfactory classroom.
work.
Certainly the matter de-
serves the consideration of the
Council, and We hope that
some thought will Be given it.
