Scandinavia Buys More
In u. 5. Per Capita Than
European Great Powers

NEW YORK. - A report en-
phasizing the high rank of Scan
dinavia in world trade has just
been issued by the National For
eign Trade Council in New York.
The 55-page study, titled "Ex-
ternal Aspects of the Scandina-
Wan Economy" nnalyzes post
war economic developments in
Sweden, Norway and Denmark, as
well as the commercial efforts
and policies of the three coun-
tries, which, it is pointed out,
constitute Scandinavia proper.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark,
the report says, are not common
~ thought of as in any way out
standing m arkets for United
States exports. But taken to-
gether, and especially on a per
capita basis, they rank relatively
high as a market. With a COM
bined population of about Is mil
lion, or about one third that of
France and three tenths that of
Great Britain, Scandinavia in 1852
imported goods from the United
States valued at more than 1882
million, or nearly 20 per cent of
what France absorbed and 81 per
cent of the British total. The
per capita expenditures repre-
sented by Scandinavian imports
from the United States in 1852
was about S16.75, compared with
$50 for France and S13.25 for
Britain. The comparatively large
volume of trade between t h e
United States nd Scandinavia.
the report further observes, was
achieved despite fairly heavy re-
strictions on Scandinavian dollar
imports.
Revealing as these particular
comparisons may be, they blu t
indirectly suggest the truly vital
role of foreign trade and COM
merce in the Scandinavian eco
Monies, the report continues. In

Our Problem, Too

Among tough problems in this nation are curb
ing Communists and their kin without throttlng ci-
vii liberties, and suppression of tease maga-
zines without censorship.
We have become anxious to preserve our
American way that the very safeguards we create
through such laws as the McCarran-Walter immi-
grafton acts and internal security regulations may
be destroying what we seek to save.
America is developing its version of Ges-
tapo tactics branded in congressional
committees and in the nations press as Commun-
lists. This publicity brand merely through
the individual being suspicioned as a Communist,
not that he or she is proven
Heroes often former admitted Commun-
lists, obviously men and women who were warped,
and may still be, gaining the limeight as they point
their fingers, eve accuse"
At the time magazine racks present tre-
mendous displays of enticers The stuff sells.
Before World War II we used to hear about the
degenerate French for example, and their reading
habits Now similar publications are widespread
here.
Suppress this pornographic literature, and the
problem develops to where shall censorship stop,
and who shall be the judge?
Curb civil liberties, and the question arises
"to what extent shall individual freedom be al
lowed?"
These tough problems, and Americans all
over the nation should have their thinking caps on

Butter Color LQu

We hope that the Montana legislature in this
coming session sees fit to get into step with the
nation that for the most part has legalized sale of
oleomargine colored yellow to look like butter
Oleo sales in Flathead stores generally seem
to be ahead of butter.
However white oleo is an unpleasant looking
staple Influenced by the eye it tastes like grease
Result is that at least half our families are con-
demned to extra effort massagng plastic bags and
the like because they choose less expensive food
product.
In the past farm groups have sought to keep
oleo off the family tables through law. One would
think that the cotton seed, vegetable oil product
was drug threatening the health and welfare of
the whole state.
Progressive pattern obviously is to recognize
that Montana and the nation drinks more milk
enjoys more ice cream and eats cheese Dairy
ing is thus encouraged, and should be in an honest
way.
The battle to keep butter on the family table
through law should be terminated. We also recog-
nze that the public deserves protection in restau-
rants of not eating oleo labeled as butter.
However what people want for their own tables
at home as far as wholesome foods are concerned,
is essentially their own business. The ban on COL

Exporting Green

When we take trip, and then return, 1t IS un-
commonly noticeable especially in late summer that
this is mountain land that doesn't turn brown.
Green is the Flatheads color.
Story of 1852 that we like as well as any was
the Dec. 19 tale that told of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Wheelock grinding up needles of fir cedar and bal
sam into flour, and then making dough that fin
ally emerged as an incense Their product was
first sold last May, and has developed coast to
coast markets.
Industry isn't that which comes only from
sac, $1,000 investments in aluminium plants.
Industry on a small scale is also the product of
having ideas click and getting to work
In this case it was grinding up bit of the
Flathead's green and sending out the aroma of our
land for the rest of the world to smell.
Another thought is that as people we have
become very green conscious. No shades are more
popular in new homes. New cars reflect the pref
erence, and absolutely the latest in chewing gum
and toothpaste is the fresh, deodorizing green of
chlorophyll.
Green's the color that represents the fresh out
of-doors. The Flathead is right in step exporting
part of its green. MR.

Tim Sullivan's Stock
Oldest in Falls Bank

Bank of Columbia Falls stock
holder with the longest seniority
is Tim Sullivan, Bad Rock district
farmer. He purchased his five
shares Sept. 8, 1927.
When bank stockholders hold
their annual meeting, Jan. 13, Sui
livan will be the only person
present who owns a part of the
original issue. This came about in
the 1920s, when the bank founded
in 1890-91 by James A. Talbot
passed from private to stockhold-
er ownership.
Tim Sullivan's brother, John D.
Sullivan, Columbus, Ohio, owns
Is shares that were purchased in
the 1920s by their father, the late
Dennis Sullivan.
Still an active resident of Co.
lumbia Falls is George Watt who
became associated with the bank
in 1908 and served as cashier for
39 years. He was also a stock

VISIT MR.. WILES
BY Ed Nofziger

! VfSIl N1 ls WfEE0
Friday morning, Apgar school
went over to the Roy Wiles home
to put on part of the Christmas
program for Roy, who has been
unable to leave his bed for many
years. He was glad to have us
come.
Friday we wrapped gifts; scarfs
for mothers. bookends for dads,
and hand prints of first graders.
There were Christmas cards to
address, too. This year we made
our cards with pressed flowers
and weed flowers. People seemed
to like them. We had a Christmas
party and then the older children
helped Ruth Sund take off de-
corations and carry them to her
home. She had loaned the school
the big tree. A busy day, but fun!
CACTUS BLOOMS
Our very large Christmas cac-
tus has five very large, beautiful
blosSoms-the first on Christmas
day. There are many buds, so we
do so hope it will be blooming
when vacation is over.
Little Skipper is lonely. He goes
into excited activity when we go
over to feed the Is goldfish, water
the plants, and give lots of tur-
key liver to Skipper; or maybe
he is just hungry.
For the first time since school
started this year, our big piliated
woodpecker was back to see us.
School stopped while all went out
to look at him, sounding away on
our cedars.

WOOD SMOKE

When wild geese v their flight
On leaden autumn sky,
And winters chill
Across the sill
Keens its windy cry;
The winter sky is hungry
For fragrance of wood smoke,
And loneliness would linger
Like a ravens weary croak,
Then I'll build a brentwood fire
So a mem'ry of warm sunshine
That besieged the snowy bark
Will come flooding thru the dark
ness
Like softly warming spark,
Till both light and warmth are
mine.
Then I'll share the joyous frag-
rance
With every passerby
Who hurries thru the early dark
Under the leaden sky
And shifts my brentwood fire.

against two Roman Catholic
cemeteries left a backlog of
more than 1000 unburied bodies.

young Seminarians and priests
through picket lines to dig
graves.
In the current strike, a three
man State fact finding board
wound up six days of hearing
yesterday in a contract dispute

About 200 grave diggers struck
