SUGAR, THE LEOPARD THAT CAME TO THE
LEGISLATURE
. A Fable of the Mid 10th Century

with the back-slappers, handshak-
ers, well-wishers and hopefuls at
the last session this one has seemed
dull to the extreme. The dead hand
of silence that was beginning to make
the session akin to a wake may be
lifting. The leashed, cut and dried
''what the devils the use" attitude
may be leaving. You can't keep
bunch of good guys down, you know.
1t is obvious that the only lobbyists
who can afford permanent quarters
for the session in Helena, or have
state offices located here, so naturally
until the issues form themselves
the others won't show up. [ guess the
first few days are usually like this.
We have seen and talked to most
of the people we have known from
past few years, and met some of the
new ones.
The bantam acting director of

rumor has it, E. K. Cheadle was busy
as could be Wednesday.
Roy Glover, too, was there, shak-
ing hands. I met him for the first
time and the thought occurred to me
that all legislators should be women.
All, me.
The Ralph Cooks are here. They
have a boy in Korea l am told, which
must keep their hearts uneasy.
The Keith Trouts are about the
busiest kids in town. She is working,
more from demand than desire, good
typists are SO hard to find. Then on
these early weekends when things are
SO slow they have been dashing back
home to tend to business matters.
That entails driving night and day
Where do they get the energy?
Ronald Holtz is patching this trip.
Charlotte will be around when she
can but she is another busy one and

SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION

There is interest, says bulletin of
State Department of Public Instruc-
ton, in making payment of trans
portation mandatory instead of per-
missive as is the case now. While it
is generally recognized that Montana
should have an adequate and safe
school transportation program, there
is strong fear among rural people
that we are substituting expensive
school buses for schools and that
the welfare of many little children
is being jeopardized by rapidly ex-
banding bus transportation system.

SIZE OF SCHOOL CLASSES

Expansion of school bus service
and abandonment of rural districts
has helped concentrate school at
tendance in towns and cities in Mon
tana. Population shifts have also in
creased school attendance in some
areas of the state. Overcrowding of
classrooms and for that reason is
recommending improved financing
of the public schools so that enough
qualified teachers can be trained
and employed to take care of the in
creased burden. The recommends
lions seen above include new pro-
grams for providing adequate school
buildings. At the same time the Farm
ars Union is opposing unwarranted
and unnecessary reorganization and
consolidation of the districts which
in some areas are contributing %
overcrowding of classrooms.

MORE STATE SUPPORT, OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDED FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

tricts enlarge and improve their build
ings by way of the bond issue method
There are school districts even yet
where taxable valuation is still too low
to permit constructing adequate plant
facilities. This is particularly true
where local population has increased
or abandonment of rural districts is
causing overcrowding of classrooms.
There are rural schools and elemen-
tary city schools needing more con-
struction not available within pres
ent means. At the 1850 state con-
vention the Montana Farmers I'm
ion adopted a resolution asking for
establishment of state school build
ing fund for helping those school
districts without adequate o
means Of meeting building needs.
The Farmers Union also favors fed
eral aid for school building pur-
poses. Some state organizations in
Guiding the Farmers Union are rec
Ommending a state law that would
permit school districts to accumulate
building funds before construction
is done. Among the people of Mon
tana there is strong sentiment for re-
pealing the law requiring that at
least 40 per cent of the qualified
electors cast ballots on a bond issue
for school building purposes. The
chief view on this latter proposal is
that such voting should be made more
democratic Under the present law,
voters failing to go to the polls
through lack of interest or for other
reasons can defeat badly needed
school building program.
Adequate school buildings can be
obtained in several ways much more
than the bonding method
which puts taxpayers in debt to the
money lenders. There is growing feel
ng that school districts, states and
he federal government should do
heir own school building financing
md save a considerable amount of
money and other non-pro-
luctive charges.

A reader tells me: haven't
seen my sister-in-law for five
years or more and will soon 60 to
lpay her and her husband a visit.
lShe will meet me and perhaps 1t
sounds a bit silly. but I'd like to
know how I treat a relative I don't
feel especially close to and haven't
seen for a long time. Should it be
merely q handshake or should I
kiss her?"
I think you take your cue from
her behavior. II she leans for
ward to obviously kiss you, then
you kiss her on her cheek; other
wise If she stands rigidly straight,
you give her your hand.
Giving Gifts" to Domestic Help
Dear Mrs. Post: was brought
up to consult with a hostess be-
fore leaving anything for house
hold help. ! have lived all around
the world and found this was the
practice. But I notice you don't
in any Of your writings suggest
that this plan be followed. You
merely say what should be given
Ito the various ones and how. but
the hostess feelings are not men
toned.
Answer: In my opinion it would
be very improper for the hostess to
be brought into it, because it would
be embarrassing for her to say she
expects you to tip her maids. and
unfair to the maid to deprive her
of the tip she has earned because
Of extra work.
Bid For Presents

tant feeling about sending en-
graved wedding invitations to peo-
pie who very definitely won't be
able to come to the wedding. I'm
afraid that they win regard the
Invitations as a bid for presents.
Answer: 1t is true that some
people who receive invitations
might feel obligated. but according
to actual rules Of etiquette 1t
should not ohligate them to any
thing. The only obligation is that
of relationship or very long friend
lship-and this exists even II no in
