Needed: A Grain Elevator

Out across the plains, sometimes there are
towns and then there isn't town, but just grain
elevators looming up along railroad tracks across
the prairie.
The Flathead has all its grain elevators con-
centrated in community, and we think there
is business opportunity for example in erecting a
grain elevator in Columbia Falls.
We venture that at least a fourth of the grain
produced in the Flathead is close to Columbia
Last year the Flathead harvested estimated
1882 900 bushels of spring and winter wheat, 740,-
900 bushels of barley and 100000 bushels of oats.
These figures are from a report by Walt Mauritson
county agent.
In addition to having a nearby grain producing
area this section of the Flathead offers an ele
vator better mainline railroad facilities.
Columbia Falls development during these post
war years into stable industrial town is reflect
ing itself in new homes and new businesses.
There are now more reasons for nearby farm
ers to trade here.
By the same token, development should include
marketing facilities for what farmers produce as
well as the seed and feed business.
The local chamber of commerce could well
look into prospects of an elevator rising along the
Great Northern's mainline. This would seem nee
essary and profitable addition to the trade center
We trust that northwestern Montana's met
ropolis will not be unduly disturbed. Columbia
Falls intent is to become a good, small city, and
after all, a larger nearby center always shares
when its hinterland is relatively prosperous. MR.

a Is minute parking zone around the bank corner
1t is easier to negotiate car to the curb near
corners There should be downtown spot for
people who are on brief errands
There is also talk about trucks not using Main
street.
Engineer R. T. Hurdle assured the town coun-
Gil Monday evening that truck traffic would not
harm new surfacng,
At the same time Columbia Falls should keep
in mind that each load of logs that comes into this
town means more man hours worked at local mills.
Those trucks should have their loads adequately
secured, and take it easy.
1t is good for town to be concerned about
its Main street. Such interest is one of the best
indications that the community is alive. A few
years ago no one seemed to care. Now at least the
grass patch in the gutter between the sidewalk and
street at the bank corner is finally gone. MR.

Main Street

Columbia Falls is proud of its newly hard
surfaced Nucleus avenue all the way to the depot
and then east for four blocks toward the aluminium
plant.
Town founders here were go years ahead of
time Nucleus is the heart of the atom. Main street
here was named Nucleus "a fancy word for center
them in 1890.
Nucleus avenue has had bit of fury these
months with parallel parking, hot issue. The
town council and merchants were not praising
each other.
There is calm after every storm, and now with
parallel parking, Columbia Falls finds itself with
a rather attractive looking main street especially
in the one block where it is curb to curb.
In addition merchants have been energetic a.
bout developing parking lots. furthermore mer-
chants and clerks now leaving better parking
spaces for customers and placing their vehicles on
lots.
Happening less often are such situations as
men from out of town leaving their Main
street all-day while they get in a friends car to
go out to the aluminium plant to work.
Increased responsibility by Columbia Falls for
better streets includes the town council considering
employing Troy Thacker, full-time for just street
maintenance including snow removal. Troy has
long years of experience in road building, and the
town is fortunate in having a with his skill
living here and available These years have seen
Columbia Falls load one man with street, water
and housing project responsibilities. You can see

Our thought is that this town should not tie
up Main street parking space for brief stops by
bus company. Instead buses should be allowed to
double park. With parallel parking the street is
wide enough.
Furthermore it might be good idea to have

DAWN

When morn lifts the night like
an awning.
And birds sing softly their lay.
Hearts grow light with the dawn
ing
Of hope and the new promised
day.
When the sky blushes over the
tree-tops,
When the phantoms of darkness
are gone,
Menancing cares steal away un-
awares,
In the first rosy flushes of dawn,
The moist rose is sweeter at dawn;
It's crimson hue deeper at dawn.
Der the earth drenched in dew,
life springs
In the first rosy flushes of
dawn anew,
It's a God-given blessing, the
dawn,
With heaven caressing the dawn;
There's a picture divine Of Gods
own design,
In the first rosy flushes of
dawn.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 49,
Canada is committed to make
a substantial start on construc-
ton" of the st. Lawrence Seaway
before next October /. accord
ing to a member of the Dominion
Parliament quoted in today's
editions of the Syracuse Post
Standard.
The member said Canada had
established funds to cover its
commitments and was ready to
make payments, the newspaper
reported in a copyrighted article.
But the Canadian Department
of Transport has denied the ex-
istence of such agreements, the
story said.
The Parliament member,
whose name was not disclosed,
said it was unlikely the commit
ments would be broken because
of the danger of damage claims.
The newspaper also quoted
John E. Burton of Ithaca, chair
man of the New York Power
Authority. as saying approval of
New York's application to build
the hydroelectric power portion
of the project was expected be-
fore spring.
The Parliament members re-
marks support Canadian reports
that work on the ship channel
will start as soon as the Federal
Power Commission approves the
power project, the Post-Standard
said.

cution of the non-discrimina-
tion clause has been conspicu-
ously absent"
The committee recommended
number of new methods, in
cluding court injunctions against
f1agrant violations of contract
anti-discrimination clauses and
black-listlng from doing further
Government business.
Four Recommendations.
l. Designate the Labor De-
partment as agency to receive
complaints of violations. If it
failed to obtain compliance, the
case would be referred for nee
essary enforcement action to the
particular agency having granted
the contract.
2. Require posting of notices
of the non-diScrimination rule
in plants doing Government
contract work.
3. Insist on practicing an anti
discrimination policy in all
State programs financed by the
Federal Government - such as
public employment services, edu-
cation and vocational training.
4. Require discrimination
among contractors supplying
the District of Columbia.
No Clause in d. c. Contracts.
Roland M. Brennan, District
purchasing officer, said the con-
tracts the District lets do not
contain an anti-discrimination
clause
He said the matter came UP
several years ago, but it was de-
cided the Federal procedure of
inserting such clauses did not
apply to the District. Under
such clause, he explained, a
contractor supplying goods would
have to eliminate discrimination
in his organization before he
could take a Government con-
tract.

BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Jan. 16.-The

The unanimous ruling grew

The case stemmed from a

tempt.
