CREDIT UNIONS HERE TO
STAY SAYS TRADE WRITER

CHICAGO-(CNS) -"There is ev-
cry reasonable assurance that credit
unions are not only here to stay, but
also that they will continue to grow
at least as fast as the American econ
omy expands"
So says Arthur Van Vlissingen in
Burroughs Clearing House, a publ
cation of the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine Co. The writer says that "cred-
it union folks consider themselves
more significant as supplementing
than competing with bank services.
They view themselves handling at
retail deposits and loans that banks
tend to handle at wholesale they
point to credit unions flourishing
within a good many banks, fostered
by the banks themselves"

what is allowed by the government.
Even though the 80 days have been
used up, the government would still
care for the worker and his family by
other means. In Denmark the worker
has to show up at his union head
quarters every other day while he
is unemployed in order to draw bene-
fits.
The Danes seemed very interested
in Montana's government. They APP
peared to be impressed by the diff
ference between the National gov
eminent and the state government.
That difference being that the gov
ernor as head of the state govern
ment has so little control over the
operation of the state government.
In the federal government, the presi-
dent appoints his cabinet and supreme
court while in Montana all CORES
ponding offices are elected with few
exceptions. In Denmark the Prime
Minister, who corresponds to our gov
ernor as head of state, is a member
of parliament and does most of
the arguing for or against legislation.
In Montana the governor can only
have contact with the legislature by
his messages to the legislature with
no possibility of personally actively
supporting his program on the floor.
During the discussions it was also
brought out that labor unions in Den.

for labor consumer groups.

As A Citizen

Congressional Candidate Metcalf
as private citizen has been no less
mindful of the need for sound pro-
gressive programs if our state is to
develop and maintain high level of
prosperity.
He has long been a foremost pro-
ponent of integrated development of
all the resources of the Columbia and
Missouri basins under the administra-
ton of public corporations located
in each basin. His record in support
of intensified low-cost public power
development, transmission and rural
electrification, is well known not only
in the western II counties, but
throughout the state.
Realizing that low-cost power is
only half the battle in making Mon
tana more attractive for industrial
expansion, Metcalf for a number of
years has been a leader in the con-
tinuing fight to gain more equi-
table freight rate structure for
Montana shippers and consumers.
Metcalf is third generation Mon
tanan, and graduate of Montana
State University Law School, Mis-
soula. He is a member of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, American Le-
gion and Disabled American Vet
Grams, and the Masonic fraternity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Metcalf have both been
active in Campfire Girl work, and he
has played an active roll in Bow
Scout activities in the Helena area.
They have no children. but are foster
parents to formerly homeless 16-
boy. Mrs. Metcalf, also
graduate of MSU, was formerly Don
Ia Hoover of Wallace, Idaho.

LYNNE new HEAD OF FARMERS UNION ASSURANCES;
PETERSON TAKES SIMILAR POSITION in UTAH

Art Petersen has resigned as man
ager of the Montana Farmers I'm.
ion Insurance Agency to accept 8
position as state manager for the
National Farmers Union Service Cor
poration in Utah. His resignation
was effective September IA, and he
assumed his new duties in Salt Lake
City Sept. %.
In his new position Mr.. Petersen
will have full responsibility for pro-
noting the Farmers Union insurance
program in Utah as we'll as represent
ing the National Farmer Union SER
vice agency in that state. With Farm
ers Union development only in the
beginning stages, Utah offers ample
opportunity for considerable growth
of the activities of the family farm
organization, according to Art. The
recent affiliation of the Utah Co.
operative Association with the Ma
tional Farmers Union is expected to
give tremendous boost to organiza-
ton and insurance work in the Bee
hive state.
Following discharge from the U. S.
Army, Art Petersen became a Farm
ers Union insurance agent July 15,
1916, serving with Ernie Hams, then
Montana Farmers Union insurance
director. When Ernie became a field
man for GTA, Art succeeded him as
agency director, January, 1947.
The past five years have seen a
remarkable growth in the Farmers
Union insurance program in Montana.
From few hundred policies in each
division the Farmers Union now has
$4,000 auto policies in force in Mon
tana, more than 1000 life policies
and about 5000 people covered by
the Triangle Health policy. Premium
income which was about $4,000 in
194Y is now at the S1,000,000 a year
level.
Under Art Petersen's supervision
a statewide corps of Farmers I'm
ion insurance agents has been es-
tablished in district agency pro-
gram that has been adopted else
where by the National Farmers I'm
ion insurance leadership. There are
120 able and well-qualified local
Farmers Union insurance agents serv-
ing throughout Montana and ten
agent supervisors in as many dis
tricts. Two state insurance super
visors work out of the state office

WORKERS HIGHLY ORGANIZED
Wage earners in Denmark are be-
tween 90 and $50 organized; work
a 48-hour week for an average wage
of A kroner per day. CA kroner be-
ing equal to so cents in American
money! The Danish Federation of
Labor has established reasonable liv-
ing conditions by collective bargain
ing for their 100000 members.
In an attempt to make compari-
son between the American workers
wages and the Danes, the Danes felt
that no comparison could be drawn.
They felt that the average working
man in Denmark was better off be-
cause of the health insurance, unem-
ployment compensation, workman's
compensation, vacation time, etc.
However, they felt that the supervis-
ors and workers of similar status in
America were much better off than
those of like status in Denmark. AS
a whole the Danes felt that their
economy was much more stable than
that of the United States.
