her granddaughter ito be sure
and put the light on and see
who it was before she opened the
door," AS jeanne opened the door,
Mrs. Drew was startled to see
some one enter suddenly and be-
fore she recovered from the shock
a group seemd to come in the
room all at one time and they
began singing Happy Birthday"

but it was a very happy one. The

An elderly gentleman was in the
habit of opening his Bible every
day, at random, to discover daily
guides to living. One day he open
ed the book and his eyes focused
on this verse:
Judas went out and hanged
himself" Because the gentleman
did not figure that was the mes
sage for him, he shut the book
and opened it again.
This time he read: go thou
and do likewise"
He tried yet again, and the
verse he saw was, What thou
doest, do quickly"

RANKIN SHOULD APOk OGIzE TO IKE.
ECT0N and D'EvvART

"W. D. Rankin should publicly
apologize to his fellow candidates
Senator Ecton and Congressman
D'Ewart," Judge Lee Metcalf,
Democratic candidate for Congress
in Montana's first district said here,
Wednesday.
Gin another abortive effort to
smear me by indirection - because
he can not properly do so on the
basis of my public record-Mr.
Rankin and his associates have
distributed a leaflet relating to
House Bill 1913, which was intro
duced in the State Legislature of
1887.
although this bill for an act
relating to certain standards of
education and designating the
powers of the State Board of Edu-
cation was recommended for pass
age by the Committee on Educa-
ton, it did not pass. Instead it was
superseded by HB 3O5, which was
passed and is on the statutes to-
day.
perhaps Mr.. Rankin is unaware
that HB 3O5 including the provis-
ion for teaching of the subject
described as cooperative econom-
les, passed the House by a vote of
IA to 9, with Mr.. D'Ewart vol
ing in favor of it. 1t also passed
the State Senate with MIR. Ecton
voting for it, as amended, 80 10
8. The Senate amendments were
concurrerd in by the House, volt
ing 81 to IL. Mr.. D'Ewart and a
close supporter of Mr.. Rankin's,
MIR. E. C. Toomey again voted in
favor of it." blouse Journal, page

Chapter 158, Laws of 1880.
eff Mr.. Rankin uses this method
to obliquely attack Farm Corpora
tives, then why doesn't he do so
openly?," Judge Metcalf asked.
eff MIR. Rankin does not agree
with his Presidential Candidate,
Gen. Eisenhower, who has stated
The farm cooperative is one of
the sources of strength of our fami-
ly farm system =. , then why not

NINE-POINT PROGRAM TO
STRENGTHEN THE u. N.

Bearing in mind the gravity of the
world situation and the imperative
ness of return to peaceful ways by
the nations on this globe, the con-
vention reiterated it's stand that the
United Nations is the only hope for
avoiding third World War To i'm
plement the UN delegates suggested
nine-point program:
l. Strengthen UN machinery for
negotiation, mediation and concilia-
ton of international disputes.
2. Establish international control
of atomic energy that would be eff
fective in preventing its use for war
fare and would promote it's use for
peaceful purposes.
3. Attempt to provide a complete
inventory of all ornaments of all
nations, under UN supervision, as a
first step toward bringing about dis
armament.
4. Greatly expand Point w pro-
gram of aid to underdeveloped and
over-populated areas in g. a man
ner that independence, freedom and
democracy will be encouraged among
the worlds peoples in terms of their
own cultures -
5. Accept the principle that it is
wise and right to proceed toward
universal membership in the UN.
6. Recognize the principle of self
determination for all nations, thus
making way for the end of colonial
ism.
z. Promote the principles embodied
IN the Universal Declaration of HUI
man Rights of the UN.
8. Active employment of all UN
Charter powers and machinery to
speed up development of internation-
al law toward an eventual enforce
able law for world society.
9. Urge that representatives of
UN nation be elected instead of ap-
pointed.
The convention also requested a /
full investigation of the "China Lob
by and the Sinister influence" it
has on relations between the United
States and the peoples of the Or
lent.
Continued support of the UN Food
and Agricultural Organization, the UN
Scientific and Cultural
Organization and the World Health
Organization, was pledged by the con-
vention.

Only in the race for Railroad and

definite lack of confidence shown
in any Democratic candidate. Ex-

GAS TAX GETS 7-VOTE MARGIN
Indicative of the uncertainty in the
minds of Montana voters whether or
not to increase the state gasoline tax
from six to seven cents, was the
close vote which saw those support
ing the tax increase initiative out
distance opponents to the measure,
153 to 146. Approximately 20 per
cent of those participating in the
poll were undecided on this measure.

calf stated.
''Mr. Rankin knows that my pub
lie record is an open book. He
knows that he cannot gainfully
smear me as a State Legislator,
an Assistant Attorney General, or
as an Associate Justice of the State
Supreme Court, so he must resort
to Misrepresentation.
Il shall continue to speak OBJ
jectively of my record, and of pro-
grams, ideas and detectives for
continuing the development and
prosperity of Western Montana. If
Mr.. Rankin has any ideas for more
effective legislation on these vital
matters, why doesn't he speak up"

things yet to be done for our elder
citizens even though most of them
since adoption of the Social Security
Act in 1885 have gained security
in place of insecurity, individual
freedom and dignity, instead of deg
radiation" Willard Fraser advised
members of Montana Old Age Pen
sion Association last week. Fraser is

but conflicting speaking dates in
other parts of the state ruled out
his presence in Great Falls. He made
his views known on the problems of
elder citizens in letter to Mrs. Es-
Their Curtis, association secretary.
Noting that our senior citizens
badly need better housing facilities,
Fraser told Mrs. Curtis, g. if l am
successful l shall work for such a
program, as well as many other things
needed by our elder citizens +. ;"
