"Beamed across the Iron Cur

NCWC report, "the Pope's mes
sage announced that he had con-
secrated the peoples of Russia

the people of Russia as victims of
the ''wiles of the enemies of re-

WorId-Wide Fsilurs
In this Apostolic Letter the
Pope speaks words that no So
called Christian government has
dared to speak: words that ring
with a spiritual appeal. He rec
ognizes the fact that the Com
munist stranglehold will not be
broken by Sears-Roebuck cata-
logues, by glossy magazines
showing American workmen driv-
ing convertible sedans. or by
any materialist appeal to Come
and get it," Communism will be
destroyed by an appeal to the
indestructible spirit of man, and
that alone.
Can we be sure of that? Can
we out-of-hand condemn as less
intelligent the usual appeal of
the Voice of America? Yes, we
can be sure. We can be sure be-

Holiness Pope Plus XII which
has been made public in recent
days is addressed to all the peo-

est and Importance for all the
peoples of the world
In his letter, the Holy Father
tells the peoples OF Russia that
he has consecrated them, in
most special way" to the I'm
maculate Heart of the Virgin
Mother of God. He adds that he
is praying, with you and with
all those of upright intention
for the attainment of true peace,
of fraternal accord and of right
full liberts for all His Holiness
also prays that Mary may look
with elemency upon those who
are organizing the ranks of mill
tant atheists that she may
deign TO obtain for their minds
that light which comes from
on high,
Pope Plus. The world might
note, distinguishes between the
peoples OF Russia and their
atheistic rulers. He prays for
both, but he makes 1t clear
that they should not be Jumped
together and both condemned

that it is bare of beggars. Con-
slider his amazement to observe
that not one character through
out a whole two-hour film is
dressed in rags. Imagine his near
incredulity when he sees a fac
tory workman drive home in his
own automobile and, perhaps,
catches glimpse of a tiled bath
room in the workman's bunga-
low. And think of what he
whose meals are all prepared on
charcoal stoyes-must think of
an American kitchen with all of
its modern trimmings!
Odd Chance
These things have been shown
to the primitive" peoples of the
world-and an astonishing num-
Der of the poorest among them
have managed to pay the admis-
sion price. Indeed, movies are
so much a mass-audience matter
in the East that India ranks Sec
ond to the United States as q
producer of films, outstripping
any European country. Whatever
materialism could do to sell cap
italism and constitutional gov
ernment has been done for 80
years.
And it has failed.
For although there are, doubt
less, millions of wistful citizens
behind the Iron Curtain who long
for the material goods the films
once taught them meant Amer
lea, their willingness to sacrifice
their families and their lives for
these things is very dubious.
No Vstiesn Cimerseks
The old moving pictures
"sold" America as a land of ma
terial luxuries. Much of the post
war Government-spcnsored prop
aganda has followed suit. First
owl and then USIS tried to win
friends for the American auto
mobile and the American bath
tub more often than for the
American ideal as revealed in,
say, the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, II is a safe guess that
no government-sponsored propa-
ganda has urged a supernatural
retort to the materialism on
which Communism itself rests
its case.
But the Holy Father did not
speak of high standard of liv-
ing: he spoke of Love. He did
not offer any of the gimcracks
of modern machinery as an alter
native to Communism: he Of
fered the Blessed Mother. He
brought breath of reality and
truth, of charity and compassion
to the beleagured of the earth.
And he gave them the best of
all comforts: the comfort of
knowing that they have super
natural Friends to help them In
their distress.

SPEAKING OF POLLS

There are polls and there are polls.
There's the Gallup Poll, the Roper
Poll, and the Peoples Voice Poland
then, there's the Barber Poll.
Maybe, of them all, the latter comes
the nearest to providing an accurate
sampling of public opinion. Every
man gets haircuts. Almost every bar
Der is talkative. The time of the year
is political. The subject of converse
ton is politics. Where better than
the corner barbershop to cross-sec-
ton public opinion of CROSSROADS,
USA?
All this is leading up to something.
Yes, there is a Barber Presidential
Poll. It's been going on for "a years.
The idea, reports THE BILLINGS
TIMES was conceived by Washing
ton, D. C. barber, Harry Rich. Back
in 1928, Rich got an idea. You CUES
sed tan election year pastime for
conversationally inclined BARRIERS.
Thus was the first barber poll con-
ceived.
Rich, his very first election off,
hit the outcome correctly. Herbert
Hoover was elected President. In
the years since, this means of sampl-
ing public opinion has spread through
out the nation. Hundreds of barber
shops in all AZ states now cooper
ate in compiling public sentiment on
Presidential candidates. And, it's
proven to be a pretty accurate means
of sampling Rich and his co-operat-
ing barbershops have had their poll
go bad only once. That was in 1913.
Recall if you will, that was the time
that John @. Public pulled a major
surprise, not only on the pollsters,
but on John Q. himself.
This year the poll is again in full
swing. Starting out with first re-
turns published September 9, the
pollsters found Steven
son leading Eisenhower, 11,087 to
3 ,946. A week later, Stevenson's lead
mad narrowed but he was still ahead,
1860 to 15,740. On September %,
The Governor of Illinois went out in
front 1851 to 80, 499. And, as of
October /, the margin between the
,wo had again been reduced, with
Stevenson still leading $3.50 to
56,213 for the Generals
AS of October 1, the tally in Mon
ana was 503 for Stevenson, to 465
or Eisenhower. In other states, ex-
ept for the "solid South, TALES

The question that keeps running
through my mind is: what new
"so-called program of social develop
ment" has been instituted in this
country in the past ten years on which
we should apply the brakes?
With the future of the Flathead
assuredAby wise handling of the in
dustrial potential from the bonanza
secured through "so-called program
of social development" should we
NOW apply the brakes?
PROOF OF THE PUDDING ?
Let's look at what statistics show
us that one of the greatest efforts in
the field of social development" has
done for the town of Columbia Falls
and the county of Flathead in a pc
riod of ten years. We must view
effectively the fact that in 1850
when the last census was taken work
was we'll under way in the Flathead
on Hungry Horse Dam. However, we
must also remember the future in
store and the industrial potential of
the area as a result. And, the future
is unlimited.
In ten years the population of
the town of Columbia Falls in
creased $40.
The overall population of Mon

ty gained $3.50 in population and

Paper Comes Out
For Eisenhower
And Stevenson!
BY the Associated Press

PURCELLVILLE, Va, Aug. p
The weekly Blue Ridge Herald
took an editorial stand this week
on its presidential choice-Dwight
d. Eisenhower and Adlai Steven
son.
It seems the papers co-owners,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Eisenhard, dis
agree both on candidates and plat
forms. So they've agreed to dis
agree editorially throughout the
campaign.
Whenever a pro-Republican
editorial appears in the paper
right beside it will be a pro-Demo-
cratic editorial.
The one thing the Herald's
readers don't know is which OF
the Eisenhards favors which can
|didate. The two have agreed to
keep that a secret-because they
both wish to participate in Vir-
Iginia's Democratic primaries.
