Lincoln Up To Date

One score and six years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this ma
ton a new tax, conceived in despera-
ton and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are fair game.
We are now engaged in a great
mass Of calculation, testing whether
this taxpayer or any taxpayer so con
fused and so impoverished can long
endure. We are met together on form
1040. We have come to dedicate a
large portion of our income to a final
resting place with those men who
have spent their lives that they may
spend our money.
1t is altogether anguish and torture
that we should do this, but in the
legal sense we cannot evade, we can
not cheat, we cannot underestimate
this tax.
The collectors, clever and shy who
computed here, have gone far beyond
our power to add or subtract
Our creditors will little note nor
long remember what we pay here, but
the Bureau of Internal Revenue will
never forget what we report here.
1t is rather for US to be dedicated
to the great task remaining before
us. That from these vanished dollars
we take increased devotion to the few
remaining, and that we here highly
resolve the next year will not find us
in higher income bracket.

To Whom it may Concern:
| have been observing very closely
the activities of the Great Master
Plan School Buildings. 1t is interest
ing and utterly disgusting to think
how one can be duped in to voting
for men like the Master Planners, and
how when given little power, will
throw other peoples money around,
and the people are supposed to grin
and bear it.
| firmly believe that Mr.. Friend and
his associates are level headed men
of the old school, with the welfare of
our children, and the interest and
opinions of the tax payer at heart
What do we want with fancy eX-
pensive buildings with nothing in
them. Fix up the old ones you are
discarding and let the new ones re-
main in use, but get teachers and
something to teach with. Some of the
old school system we had 30 OF 35
years ago for instance.
The following criticism is not di-
rected at the one teacher schools
especially our local school.
Morning prayer and Bible reading
has been cast out Of the majority Of
schools. Why? l ask; the answer
got was, there were too many differ
ent denominations, it didn't work
The Holy Bible is the same, no mat
ter what denomination has it, also if
you should ask them, they all expect
is only one heaven and one hell. So

Ball games, dancing, card playing,

into delinquents. have already made
a personal call on the school superin-
tendent regarding the above, and the
teachers didn't give me any thanks.
The teachers swear at the pupils
and smoke in the school. Fire breaks
out in the waste basket. No one knows
why. No! because it was caused by
cigarettes. No wonder the Amish pre-
fer their own schools. You can't eX-
pect to produce educated people out
of a background like that.

which is very few, who agree with
the Master Plan are folks who have
their children through school or those
without prospect of amy.
A mother never knows what to eX-
pect of the child on his or her return
from school each day. They are liable
to come with limb or two broken,
internal injury or conclusion, any or
all.
Now there is another graft afoot.

Christianity the Answer

We publish this week letter from
Mrs. Edward Platter, of Bittinger,
who would like to blame all the ills
of modernization on the fact that the
master planners" want to build two
new high schools. Her letter shows
her extreme regret that morning
prayer and Bible readings have been
least out" Of a majority Of the
schools.
We agree with her 100 percent on
this question and feel that Christiani-
ty is the only answer to many of our
problems, but she is entirely mistaken
as to why such teachings are not in
the regular program. There is no re-
ligion taught in the schools because
the Supreme Court has ruled against
it. Remaining in our present over
crowded schools would not remedy
this condition, which is not the fault
of those who now plan to build two
new high schools and make existing
buildings into modern elementary
centers.
To 90 back to one-room schools
would not cure the moral questions
either, or the lack of religious train
ing among our children. The regu-
lations will stand no matter where
school is held, until such law is
changed.
Actually parents must also show
some responsibility to give religious
training and not leave everything up
to school teachers, or even Sunday
school teachers or ministers. Too
often parents shift the responsibility
of moral and religious teaching to
those who aren't as well qualified on
those subjects as the parents them
selves could be.
Teachers, we are sure, would be
more than willing to include Bible
reading and prayer as part of their
job, if there were no state or national
regulations involved. In fact, a num-
Der of them do this at every oppor-
tunity.
But in regard to the new schools,
her remarks about religion have
nothing to do with the plain fact that
present schools are overcrowded, that
next year there will be an additional
class in the high schools, making con-
ditions intolerable; that opportunities
to remedy the present conditions
could have been effected years ago,
but were not by the person who Mrs
Platter claims has the Interests of
the students at heart"
We believe that many who favor the
new high school plan have children
now in high school and have others
preparing to enter high school. Those
favoring such a program will far out
weigh those who do not, although they
have not busted themselves going
around getting signers to this and
that petition.
Mrs. Platters remarks on religion
should have the serious consideration
of all. Students learn about Democra-
cy, Communism, Socialism, and sub
jects supposed to teach them about
how to get along in this world. 1t
can't be done properly without a
knowledge Of Christian beliefs Teach
ing Professionalism or Catholicism of
course should be outlawed, but learn
ing about God and the Bible and the
Christian are things every person

It's population was largely tran
sient-the usual followers of the
gold trail. Many saloons and gam
bling places were there. In addition
to those, the Mountain House," a
half days ride westward, served
the Fastening, thirsty argonauts.
The ferry, navigating the swift
current of the Clark's Fork river,
was operated by Sharpe and Keegan.
One morning the cable broke, and
the boat, carrying cargo of five
men and twenty pack mules, was
hurled over the precipitous falls.
All, except one man who was res
cued by spectator, were lost in
the foany maelstrom.
Our Pack Train
Arriving in the busy town with
five horses, we purchased two others
and before the summer was over
we bought three more. Thus our
herd numbered ten, two saddle and
eight pack animals.
At either end of the route we
rented a cabin and put up corral
in which our horses were kept and
fed. Rising at dawn / packed our
MONDAY lunch, bathed and dressed
the baby, cooked breakfast while
Tom cared for the horses. After
breakfast washed the dishes, then
helped my husband load the pack
train.
Sometimes such awkward bur-
dens as stoves, furniture and baled
hay were piled onto the horses. I
secured each pack by deity tying
the intricate knot known as the
diamond hitch. For freight, depend
ing on the kind, we received rs to
40 cents per pound.
I Packed the Baby
The packing job completed I tied
Margaret Virginia on my back and
our long journey began. Sometimes
weary of riding I walked and led
my horse, the baby still fastened or
my back.
1t was nightfall when we reached
Murray. Disposing of our load we
went to our cabin. My husband fed
and watered the pack string while
prepared our evening meal. After
ward 1 cleaned up the dishes, swept
the floor and put the baby to bed.
The next morning we returned to
Thompson Falls.

too, twisting their Flooding dusty
