Advocated Bv
Sofety Conference

Gov. John w. Bonner'S safety
conference has voted unani-
mouSly to ask the 1851 state leg
iSlature for accident-prevention
codes for all lines of work and
to put the state industrial hy-
giene division under the induSt-
rial accident board. The legiS-
lature also will be asked for
money so the board can hire a
larger staff of safety inspectors.
The conference also voted I'M
animously for money for a
state wide survey of health con-
ditions in all industries, and for
the states share of expenses for
a full-time safety council staff.
Turning to agriculture, the
meeting voted to ask the legis-
lature to put farming under the
Workmen'S compensation act.
Members of the conference
heard that farm accidents are
on the increase because farmers
are using more machinery now
than formerly. Farming is the
only industry not covered by the
compensation law.
Conference Chairman Walter
P. Coombs said the legislature
also will be asked to pass a
second injury law, which would
help physically handicapped
persons get Jobs. Under the pro-
posed law, the state would pay
handicapped workers the differ
ence between total disability pay
and the actual conversation
due for the second injury.
The Montana safety council,
which sponsors the safety con-
ference, will meet in Helena
Dec. 2 to put the recommended
tions in shape for the 1851
legislature, COMBS announced.

to improve our present high school
buildings at Accident, Friendsville,
Grantsville and KitZmiler and to
build new high school at Oakland,

intent Of the legislators.
Common sense will tell us it is
cheaper to repair and add to the
existing high schools and build a new
one for Oakland than to do away
with the existing high schools and
build two. The Master Plan is bound

Working Together

I'm HOME is a place to 60 when
"a everything else has shut up"
is not a true proVerb. For if that is
all it is, it is not a home. It is only
a boarding house and not a very
attractive one at that.

home When you read the
story of Ruth you see one
thing standing out: they are
all working people.
To this day, there are fewer di-
vorces in the country than in the
cities, and one big reason for that
is that country families have to
work together, while city families
often have little in common. In the
country everybody turns to and
does something about the house,
everybody helps everybody else;
while in the cities where SO much
is done by machines and houses
are very small. there isn't much a
family can do together. Still, it is
worth while for any family to try
to work out something that they
can all do together.

TT is striking that in the Bible the
4 warmest expression Of devotion
shown by one person to another is
expressed by one woman to her
mother-in-laW, by Ruth to Naomi.
Ruth was of a different race and
generation ard nation. Yet she
takes Naomi's family for her own.
That illustrates another heau-
tiful feature of living in a fam
lily. You learn to live with all
kinds of people. Even in so
small a group. no two are
alike. And the thing that holds
a family together almost bet
ter than anything else is not
similar tastes in breakfast
foods, or identical educatiOns,
or equality Of age or tempera-
ment: it is common ideals, it
is agreement about the i'm
pOrtant things in life.
What do you, for example, think
is the greatest thing in the world?
Do your family agree with you? If
they do Cor you with thcm) then
you have basis for a happy fami-
ly life.

LEIGH ideals, held by all in COM
- mon, are almost the best fami-
ly cement; but better and best is
religion. When you read the story
of Ruth you are struck not only by
their high ideals but by their ma
tural, heartfelt, everyday religious
faith. 1t comes out in the remarks
of Boaz. It was one Of the things
that no doubt had attracted Ruth
to the family in the first place.
The climax Of her famous promise
to her mother-in-laW is thy God
shall be my God"
1t is at best confusing, and
at worst tragic, when families
are divided in their religious
faith. Some one has said that
when the father belongs 70 one
denomination ard the wife to
another, the children are likely
to become NothingarianS.
The old family pew, happily not
out of style in many places, is
more than a quaint custom. 1t IS a
fine symbol of family life at its
best. Where are the most Of the
broken homes? Among the fami-
lies where father and mother send
the children to Sunday school
while they themselves lie around
at home reading the paper, or
among the families where all 90 to
the house of God together? A home
without real religion is home
without its surest foundation.

Benny was waiting, bow-legged
and arms folded in the door of his

looking at Benny, he knew Benny

thing that was fear or dismay or
