landless indians Make
Progress Among Friends

At a recent meeting of t h e
Landless Indians organization in
Great Falls. more than $50 men,
bers were in attendance f r o m
various parts of the state.
Highlighting the event, which
continued for two days. Governor
John w. Bonner gave a rousing
speech in which he urged enact
ment of legislation by the S2nd
Congress that would benefit the
group.
Indicating the progress already
made is House Bill 1929 by Con-
gresham Mansfield, which pro-
vides for rehabilitation of land
less Indians. The previous con-
gress failed to enact it.
Several organizations in t h e
state, including t h e Farmers
Union, are giving the bill their
blessing.
Friends of the landless Indians
of the state point out that it is
high time that the government
consider this group, whose plight
is because of no fault of their
own.
An active worker for success Of
the cause is Mrs. Justice Sharp
of Browning.

Flow Down On
Alcoholism Is
Heard In Church

Charles O. Edwards, secretary
treasurer of Alcoholics Annony-
nous of Great Falls, spoke at the
Methodist Church last Sunday
morning, his message being high
lighted by facts supporting the
ideal of temperance.
The speaker out of his own ex-
perlence as an alcoholic present
ed truths that might avail others
a pattern for more sensible living
Pointing to alcoholism as dis
ease that may be controlled or
conquerored through forces of
resoluteness and common sense,
he stressed that the addict must
be captain of his own soul' if
he is to triumph.
To others about town he talked
with during a three-day stay be-
ginning last Saturday, he was
most interesting. He indicated
that he had been a mastery
drunkard," with all the gifts and
niceties to enhance his prestige.
He cited experience to prove
that the pursuit of drinking"
cannot be followed successfully
if it is interfered with by a way
of life that demands sobriety.
Above all, he championed good
whiskey-if there was such a
thing.
The most damaging to human
kinds body and soul today. he
said, was the so-called fortified"
wine now on the American mar
ket as a commodity for cheap"
drunk and other connections such
as sleeping tablets or spirin
dissolved in carbonated bever-
ages. The latter, he said, was
getting to be all the more SER
lous problem since it was being
used by teen-age boys and girls.

Natl. Park Chief
LQ11letltS Threat
To Park System
Maybe the following is some
thing ominous of our own mag
nificent Glacier National Park.

Westinghouse "const a n t | y
growing demand for commercial
utilization of resources" endan-
gers the future of the national
parks program, Parks Director
Newton B. Drury said Monday.
Drury's remarks were con-
tanned in the annual report of
Secretary of Interior Chapman to
President Truman.
Taking note of increasing
numbers of instances in which
projects planned by the corps of
engineers and reclamation bur-
eau would be in or near national
parks or monuments, Drury
called for long range national
planning for balanced use of our
resources of all kinds in such a
way that the cultural needs Of
the American people are not rele-
gated to a subordinate position. !"
He took exception to claims
that dam or reservoir construc-
ton will improve" a park f o r
recreation or that some o t h e r
area Just as good can be SUBJ
stituted for the one in which such
a development is proposed.
Americans long g o learned
to be dubious Of Just as good',"
he asserted. Opportunities for
the kind of recreation obtainable
from these reservoirs is certainly
not going to be rare or hard to
come at, in view of the immensely
of the programs.
In this connection Drury cited
a reclamation bureau proposal to
construct dams at Echo park and
Split mountain in Dinosaur ma
tional monument in Utah and
Colorado. Despite strong disap-
proval by the park service, the
dams were recommended to con-
gress by Secretary Chapman.
1T h e secretary's assurance
that his decision was based upon
special circumstances, and his
reaffirmation of long-established
policy as to the integrity of ma
tional park areas, is gratifying to
the national park service" he
asserted.
The difference was recalled last
week when Chapman announced
Drury would resign as p a IF k S
director April l. Conservationists
accused the secretary of forcing
the resignation. Neither Chap
man nor Drury would comment.

Wherever one goes in Alaska there are signs of building activity, according to MT. Mitchell. The pro- gress toward completion of apart ments, homes, public buildings in Ketchikan, Sitka, Haines, Juneau, Valdez, Anchorage. and Fairbanks is amazing, especially in view of the seasonal nature of construction work in Alaska.
 Not all of the building is in the towns" Mitchell said. Along the highways between Anchorage and Fairbanks and Tok Junction there is much activity. Road work is be- ing extended and paving increased" ,"
 When the road between Seward and Anchorage is completed, MT. Mitchell predicted a new life for the town on Resurrection Bay.
 Mitchell has been with Seattle's National Bank of Commerce in the Alaska department for the last six years. He returned to his Seattle headquarters Sunday.
