communities accept candidates

If the Church uses the power
which Christ gave her and makes
exceptions to her own laws it

Q. Did JoSue really make the
sun stand still? (JoSue 10:12-13)
A. Although II is widely sup
posed that this passage describes
in popular language and accord
ing to externa, appearances a
miraculous lengthening of the
day, it is equally probable that
Josue's prayer was rather for
an abrupt observation of the
sun this request would have
been answered by the hailstorm
and by darkness relieved only
twenty-four hours later, well into
the next day" The Confraternity
edition of the Old Testament
provides this explanation which
indicates that it is the observable
effect upon men that is describ-
ed in many Old Testament pas
Sages. The scriptursl authors are
describing events in a popular
style not as an aStro-physicist
would describe them
Q. What is the origin of the
Easter Candle?
A. The darkness which pre-
walls at the Holy Saturday serv-
ice symbolized from earliest
times the state of the world be-
fore Redemption. When the East

represents Christ risen from the
dead, Our Saviour. After It is
lighted and the darkness of the
Church yields to a flood of light

be this candle of ours. Lord, we
beseech thee, to thy glory de-
voted, as will overcome our
darkness, burning on undimin-

MlSSOULA-The temporary de-
tail of approximately twenty techni-
clans from other regions of the For
est Service has been announced by Re
gional Forester P. d. Hanson.
Early last spring when the spruce
bark beetle infestation in northwest
ern Montana and northern Idaho as
sumed proportions beyond the scope
of the Northern Regions ability to
suppress, urgent appeals for assist
ance resulted in the assignment of
trained foresters and engineers from
six other Forest Service regions of
the United States; the Intermountain,
Rocky Mountain, California, South
ern, North Central and Southwestern.
The men have been assigned to
various regional office and national
forest jobs devoted to the suppression
of the spruce bark beetle and the
logging operations and access road
construction incident to the suppress
sion program. These assignments con-
form with Forest Service policy in
giving technicians and administra-
tive officers wide experience as part
of their general training,
Mr.. Hanson said these Foresters
and Engineers will remain in the re-
gion until the suppression work for
this year is completed, at which time
they will return to their previous
assignments. Without the assignment
of such technically qualified men
from other regions, suppression work
would be delayed and perhaps him

dered. Most OF the twenty now on
detail to the Northern Region have
had previous experience on spruce
bark beetle suppression or similar
work.
The spruce bark beetle whose dep
relations will necessitate the cutting
of approximately 500,000,000 board
feet of spruce in northwestern Mon
tana this summer, is about the size
of a lady bug BEETLE, except Slim
mer. 1t is brownish-black in color and
is less than half an inch long. 1t lays
its eggs in the sap (growth) layer.
After Matching, the larva eat away
the growth layer all the way around
the tree. AS a consequence, the tree
dies. The spruce bark beetle attacks
only spruce. The logging industry is
giving the Forest Service excellent
cooperation in giving the cutting
of infected and possibly infected
spruce trees priority over other speci-
es of timber. Failure of the beetle
eradication program could endanger
spruce trees containing a total of
several billion board feet of lumber
thus the urgency in getting the
pest under control at the earliest pos
sible date.
In the Helena and Deer Lodge ma
tional forests another pest the
spruce bud worm is endangering large
stands of Douglas fir The worm eats
the young green needles, while en-
comprising in its webs the older
needles This gives the dead brown APP
pearance so noticeable on fir trees
in the Boulder hill region south of
Helena. The worm kills fir trees by
a slow process of strangling since
trees, like plants, breathe through
their leaves. 1t takes three or more
years to kill tree this way, Because
of intensive aerial spraying of light
DOT solution on approximately 49,
900 acres. Forest Service officials be-
lieve they have an excellent chance
of saving practically all Douglas Fir
trees in the two forests.

Because of the danger of Rocky

Recently the city-county health
as part of a Community

duct a home safety program. DR..
Soules said the March safety pro-

Future plans for the area include
an intensified chest x-ray survey in
the county, possibly in the fall, and
the possible installation of x-ray
equipment in the city-county health

Local health departments are the
keystone of public health. This is true
in Montana as in every other state.
Montana in July has five full-time
local health departments: the Great
Falls-Cascade county health depart
ment; the -Gallatin county
health department; Montana Public
Health District No. l, composed of
Rosebud and Big Horn counties; Pub
lie Health District No. 2, composed
of Lake and Sanders counties; and
Public Health District No. 8, COM
posed of Missoula and Mineral coun-
ties.
Prior to the formation of the dis
trict No. 8 health department, Min
eral county only had the services of
a part-time health officer.
Missoula's city-county health de-
partment is adjusting its program
to provide the people of Mineral
county The same full-time public
health services the city and county
of Missoula have enjoyed since 1851.
This will require the addition of a
sanitarian to the present staff and
the shifting of one public health
nurse to serve the people of Mineral
county.
In 1921 Missoula's first full-time
health department was organized and
served the area until the present
time, except for the period from 1947
to 1851, when the department was
headed by part-time health officer.
DR.. Mary E. Soules, Missoula's pres
ent city-county health officer, was
appointed in May of 1851. She came
to Missoula from Oregon City, Ore.
where she had been health officer
for Clakamas county. DR.. ]. M. Mel
son had served as acting director of
the Missoula Health Department on
a part-time basis from August of
1947 to May of 1851.
DR.. Soules' staff includes one sani-
tartan, six public health nurses, a
clinical nurse and a clerk-typist. The
city-county health department OPP
Grated, in fiscal year 1868, on an am
nual budget of SCOTIA. The city and
county contributed $42,216 of this
budget and the State Board of Health
paid $8,498 to the operation.
Full-time public health services
will cost the people of the new
Missoula Mineral health district
about $1.40 per person per year
less than the price of six packages
of cigarettes a year.

FORMER OWNERS COULD
REACOUIRE MINERAL RIGHTS

Former owners of mineral rights
to lands now owned by the USA and
acquired between 1884 and 1912 I'M
der the Bankhead-Jon ones Act, could
have the right to reacquire such
rights within a three-year period at
25 per cent of the amount paid for
such lands by the U. S., under bill
introduced by Rep. Miller of Ne
braska.
Other bills propose that persons
holding unpatented land which is in
sufficient to support a family may
exchange such land for units on fed
eral irrigation projects; that in GER
tain cases of adverse possession it
would be mandatory for land patents
to be issued by Secretary of Interior.
The above concerns only legislation
aimed at dispossessing the federal
government of public lands and min
eral resources underlying such lands.
In addition, strong moves are in the
making to turn atomic energy, pub
lie power installations, synthetic rub

Some of the proposals, such as the
last one enumerated above, have con-
siderable merit; others represent lit
tie more than a naked steal of the
peoples resources.
MINERAL RIGHTS BILLS ARE
MOST NUMEROUS
Most numerous of all the bills to
dispose of federal interests in pub
lie lands are those concerning rights
to minerals underlying federally-
owned properties. Approximately half
of the proposals deal with mineral
rights.
One of these by Sen. Young of
North Dakota would provide for the
return to former owners of mineral
rights under the Garrison Dam prof.
ect on the Missouri river, upon pay
ment by the owners of a fair market
price for such mineral interests.
Another, by Rep. Burdick, North
Dakota, would permit former own
ers of minerals rights in both Dakotas
and Montana to reacquire such rights
within three-year period at Is per
cent of the amount paid by the United
States for such lands under the Bank
head-Jones Farm Tenant Act.
Another by Burdick would pro-
