Scaling the wall of an adjoin-

they took a considerable guam
tity of merchandise, including
two of the highest priced saddles

$825,O00 LOAF,
Approved For


The rural identification admin
istration this week approved a
loan of 1926, 900 to the Glacier
County Electric cooperative for
system improvements, according
to a wire received here last week
from Senator Ecton. The i'm
provement will include 304 miles
of transmission lines in Glacier
county and the construction of
2004 miles of lines to serve 269
additional consumers in Flathead
and Glacier counties.
According to Email Rudman,
head of the Glacier coop, these
new improvements will m o S t
benefit the people in and around
the oil field, Del Bonita, St.
Mary's, B a b b, BIackfoot and
Browning.
The construction OF the trans
mission lines from Blackfoot to
Browning will give more and bet
ter service to tn e people of
Browning, he said. The line from
Cut Bank to a point 2 miles north
west of Santa Rita will mean in
creased service for the oil fields
and Del Bonita and the new dis
tribution line will provide more
electricity for the people of St.
Mary's and Babb, and will again
mean more power for Del Bonita.
In addition to lines, the Cut
Bank Office will be remodeled and
a two-way communication sys-
TEN will be installed in all trucks
with stations at Cut Bank and
Browning. The street lighting
systems in Cut Bank and Brown
ing will also be expanded, Rud-
man said.-Press.

government, all of whom a r e
enfranchised. 1.-The devil finds
work for idle hands.
United States statutes prohibit
the sale of ardent spirits to an
Indian ward and enforces that
statute as it concerns t h e city
authorities in Browning.
We may not grant a license to
a vendor of liquor in a place sub
ject to police supervision. Yet
there are many-very many
bootleggers selling liquor to In
dams in our alleys and in private
homes, where children abide.
need not elaborate upon W h t
occurs in such places.
The surrounding towns and
road-houses sell liquor to Indians
without question. Their income
therefrom supports adequate
police forces. We have one police
man when we can get a man to
undertake the work. 1t is a
hazardous job, indeed. Before the
recent July 4th our policeman
arrested 20 odd offenders. We
had a make-shift frame Jail. The
prisoners broke through the roof,
broke through the walls and dug
out through the floor, leaving the
Jail a wreck.
The courts look lightly upon
the archaic and unenforceable
liquor laws. Convictions are few,
indeed, and sentences are rare.
Our tax assessment now is los
mills, which returns inadequate
funds with which to pay ex-
penses. We have fewer city
lights than there are upon the
football field at our high school.
Our children go to our quarter of
a million dollar school to have
their minds cultivated so they
may readily learn and become
educated.
The Town offers life's educa-
ton where they may freely enter
bootleg joints and where they
take pleasure in lodging the pol
iceman after curfew.

We, the council and mayor, have

in the center of h e Blackfeet

population of l,674 people, &C.
cording to the July 7th report of
the U. S. Department Of Com
merce. More than half of the
population consists of Indian
wards of the United States.
The reservation consists of 80
townships. The County of Glacier
consists of the reservation and
eight additional townships. The
Blackfeet Tribe consists of ap-
proximately 4,00O Indian wards.
They are a self-supporting tribe.
The federal government appro-
PIRATES no funds directly to them.
The Tribal Council has SUPER
vision over all Tribal funds, SUBJ
ject to the approval of the Indian
bureau at Billings, Montana, the
local bureau office or the one at
Washington, D. C. These funds
come from oil royalties, which
alone amount to 81, 100000 a day;
oil leases and grazing fees and

There are well-to-do Blackfeet
here and in other states. They all

FLA Chapter
Planning Entries
AT Various Fairs

A summer meeting of t h e
Browning high school FLA Chap
ter was held last Friday evening,
it being the first meeting since
the return of Chapter Advisor R.
W. Harris, who for the previous
five months had been on leave
OF absence to take up completion
work at the Montana State COL
lege at Bozeman.
High on h list of summer
activities is the Chapters par
ticipation in various fairs in this
territory, Harris explained. The
Chapters first showing will be at
the Marias Fair at Shelby. This
will be followed by entries at the
North Montana State Fair at
Great Falls, entries at the Youth
Fair in Browning and possibly at
the Northwest Montana Fair at
kalispell as a final showing of
the season.
Harris said that the Chapters
showing at the Browning project
would be most complete.
Over and above individual en-
tries of livestock, crops and shop
work, is the main one in which a
booth will be employed to exhibit
veterinary medicine and equip
ment that should be on hand and
available on every stock ranch.
The basic summer job of both
students and their advisor is the
actual work that is being done by
the Future Farmers on tn ir
home ranch as livestock or crop
projects. This is carried out every
summer by the Chapter.
The shop and class rooms in the
new Ag building present busy
scenes throughout the summer as
the Veteran-on-the-farm train
ing program is carried on.
The shop is a SO used by so
called in-students that t h e ir
equipment may be kept in proper
shape.
The new greenhouse has been
placed in order and looms with
some of the first experimental
paintings. Considerable work is
being done with a complete set
of samples of forage crops, grains
and poisonous plants. The collec-
ton is to serve for instruction
of all who are concerned with Ag
instruction.
Tonight, July Ia. there will be
a meeting of FLA officers for the
purpose of setting up the 1850
81 program. Usually the pro-
gram is set up in April. but cir
cumstances have delayed it until
now,

The Reward For
Magnificent
Public Service

|FuOHc Service
Be it ever so humble, there is
no place | k e Browning. Any
thing, in fact, everything can
happen in Browning. And it does.
Last week the mayor and coun-
cilmen quit fed up" with the
job.
The mass resignation of t h e
five citizens is to take effect to-
morrow. There is opinion among
some local mentors that they can
not quit as a group. According
to that, these five citizens did
what the poor fly did. Got into
the web of the scheming spider.
Sometimes it is easier to get in
than to get out.
If the people wont let them
quit, they can strike.
An Irishman had a very ingen-
ious idea. He tried to compel an
old clucking hen to set, but al
though she was a clucking hen,
she refused to be a setting hen.
Angry at her rugged individ-
ualism," the Irishman tied her
to the nest and set her a-stand-
ing.
So the mayor and councilmen
could be set a-standing. But that
wouldn't hatch the good things
the dear people" wanted from
a group of officials who not so
long ago committed themselves
to the ideal of magnificent pub
lie service"
AS we have said, anything can
happen in Browning. A man can't
quit his Job. This information
should be mighty encouraging to
President Truman, who very
often is shirtless worrying over
quitting railroaders and miners.
Magnificent public service
is what every past town admins
tration sought to give the dear
people. Once when horses invaded
the lawn of a beauty-loving old
lady, she called up Councilman
Hanneman, whose functions had
to do with the towns landscape.
Vehemently, she pro e t e d
against the invaders and insisted
that he do something about it
fright now" So he locked up his
store, regardless of merchandise
sales when the big selling season
was at hand, and served the com.
plainant.
Yet there was compensation,
scarce as it usually is for mag.
nificent public servants She
thanked him and said h a t he
was a dear sweet man. She
also expressed confidence in his
willingness to respond to any
similar situation in the future.
Harold was unselfsh in mis- devo
ton. Instead of staying in the
store to drive bargains, he choose
to drive horses.
There is local sc hool OF
thought h a t contends that g
mayor and board of councilmer
can quit legally their posts as g
group.
They explain that the resultant
developments-if no one comes
forth to fill their place-will be
for the board of county commiss'
toner's to take over" If that
should happen Browning would
get a nice county jail. That i'm
provement would be the lesser o.
several necessary evils. for if we
don't get a Jail, eventually well
have to have an insane asylum,
And that goes for most of US.

Dorothy Dix
Young People Are Domestic Tyronts
IF They Oppose Parents RemorrioQe

We have all shed tears over the
blighted romances of children
whose selfish parents refused to
let them marry the perfectly
good boys and girls with whom
they were in love because the
fathers and mothers could not
endure the thought of their sons
and daughters caring more for
anybody than they did for them.
But it is not always father or
mother who is the self-centered,
domestic tyrant. Very often it is
the children themselves who refuse
to let widowed parent remarry
because they do not wish any
change made in their homes, or
for dad or mother to have any
interest but themselves, or for any
one else to be put in the place of
their dead father or mother.
Strangely enough, these days it
is oftener the parents than the
children who are the victims of
these selfish monopolists in love.
There is hardly a day in which I
do not get a letter from some
widow or widower telling a pa
thetic tale of how his or her chill
dren are barring him or her from
happiness by refusing to let him or
her marry. Generally these wild
ows and widowers are still in the
prime of life with the prospect of
many years of life before them.
They have tried to be both
mother and father to their chill
dren and have made every con-
ceivable sacrifice for them and
devoted themselves to them. But
now their children are grown and
gone about the business of life for
themselves. The nest is empty.
Their task accomplished. They
are very lonely and they have
found a woman or man, suitable
in every way, with whom they
might re-establish their lives and
nnd ompanlOnSnlp.
But their children won't hear
of it. Their children are Mortified
at the idea of mother or father
getting married again. They say
it won't be the same to come back
to the old home with a new woman
or man in it. They want to know
why father or mother needs any
one to love when he or she has his
or her children, and. if father or
mother is lonely, why can't he or
she come and live with them?
And these selfish children never
stop to think that mother and
father have an individuality of
their own, and that they want to
be happy in their own way and
choose their own companions and
have their own houses. Nor does
the idea ever percolate through
the conceit of children that they
Evening star., 1950-01-22

are no more satisfying companions
to their parents than their parents
to them.
1t seems ridiculous to any child
to think of father or mother fall
ing in love at As or so or go odd,
but it happens, and these middle
age romances, with their Indian
summer of warm affection and
tenderness and understanding
often bring to a man and woman
a greater happiness than the fiery
passion of their youth did.
Above all, the young do not
understand what having their own
home means to the old. No man
or woman who has been at the

Back, shoulders, neck and face
should be the same shade when
wearing a strapless gown. You
must not wear tinted makeup on
the face that will be in contrast to
a yellOw-tinged neck and pale back

carried over neck, shoulders and
face completely. Cake makeup does
a very effective job, and can be
applied to shoulders and back with
a sponge, using the same Hoethod
as when applying it to the face. II
