''The horse and buggy have gone,

shortly, the jet. 1t seems to me-
that witches would have changed

The leading sorceress In "Ber,
Book and Candle" is Gillian, a gla-
morous witch to be played here by
Mickey Renna. She is young and
ailuring and lives in a well-furnish-
cd New York apartment, keeping
her talents at witching a well-kept
secret from her neighbors. Witches
were not recognizable as such in
the old days, and van Druten feels
that their present-day counterparts
deserve the same privacy.
Although she has no broomstick
for night flying, Gillian does keep a
cat, the only witching symbol that
links her to her NEUROLOGICAL fore
bears. The cat Is Of course not
anachronistic, ~since people still
employ them as pets to large ex-

modernized, however. He is not

colleagues, though merely bush
league witch, at least knows how
to get into locked rooms without a

The conjuring and spookery In
"Bell, Book and Candle" puts the
accents on comic aspects rather
than evil ones. The most potent
weapon employed by witch Gillian
is love. It's use ultimately destroys
her powers in sorcery, proving that

gram is years off Developments are slow under this

It would seem that Coram and Martin City
interested in the prosperity Of their mills and cabin
camps may favor "low level' bridge These COM
munities should keep alert to the situation.
A Glow level" bridge costs less money. Its piers
are permanent but its decking is removed each
spring before high water Such a logging bridge
could hold truck loads and be usabe except for
the May-June flood period.
This type of less costly structure may be the
practical approach to the bridge problem MR.

North Fork Bridge

We wonder if practical approach to the North
Fork county bridge problem between Coram and
West Glacier isn't removable structure.
County engineer, T. A. Taschereau and bridge
foreman, Harold Roatch estimate that it will cost
$4,000 to replace the third span that went down
under a truck July g.
Since $4,000 is the maximum the county can
spend without bond ISSUE Flathead county COM
missioners apparently are looking toward the liza
biity policy carried by the trucker for funds to re-
place the span.
The particular bridge, however, had earned re-
trement. It's tmbers apparently date back to about
1914 when it was the U. S. No. and old Roosevelt
highway crossing of the Flahead rivers South Fork
near Bad Rock canyon. A WPA project in the 193Os
saw the timbers moved upstream to the present
location
Spending $4,000 to replace the third span will
still leave bridge not suitable for loaded logging
trucks, and perhaps not even safe for "empties"
Why spend $4,000 for structure that can't carry
trucks?
Crossing of the river at this spot can be justi-
fled through North Fork logging and fishermen
traffic.
Flathead county voters however, aren't apt to
approve bond issue for 100000 plus bridge at
this location Furthermore it seems that obtaining
a new structure through the secondary road pro-

WQtered LQWns

The Hungry Horse News lawn was planted ii
1948. This past week marks the first time since the
lawn was started that there has been adequate wa
ter pressure for sprinkling.
This situation of finding sprinklers really turn
ing and lawn sprays getting up into the air is be-
ing experienced over the whole community.
There was some disagreement at Columbia
Falls $4,000 for two wells, replacement of wood
mains with cast iron pipe and a new crosstown
feeder. The pump at the wells automatically turns
on when pressure in the mains gets low thus aug
menting the gravity flow system from Crystal
Creek springs.
We recall $125,OOO spent for water system i'm
provements in 1948-49 that had little effect on
sprinklers not that the improvement wasn't OF
consequence.
However there is satisfaction in seeing sprink-
Ter actually wet down lawn.
Something to keep in mind is that water for
lawns now costs pumping money in place OF
formerly having every drop reach town by gravity.
Estimated pumping costs for the next II months
is ST, 500. Watch your faucets MR.

Our NeiQhbors

Canadians frequently drive the same cars, wear
the same type of clothes, speak the same language
and have similar Democratic government and liv-
ing standards to Americans.
Big mistake we make is to judge them
entirely by our own standards, not realizing that
Canada is a growing prosperous nation with Its
own traditions. One of the best indications OF this
difference is to compare Calgary daily newspapers
with Spokane and Great Falls dailies. Appearance,
language and type of presentation is similar for
all three cities However news in the Great Falls
Tribune has much more in common with the Dali
las News 1900 miles southeast than it does with
the Calgary Herald $50 miles north.
Here in Montana we see a lot of Canadians
We hear them say 'zed" instead of ''Z' for the
last letter of the alphabet. Generally they more
cautious drivers. If are in hurry, as We usually
are and they are not, we dislike being behind
string of three Alberta and two British Columbia
automobiles.
Tuesday afternoon at Glacier National Park
headquarters we weren't a bit surprised to find
that Canadians have the best regulations for re-
turning lost articles
John Duffeld of Vancouver, B. c., found
purse with SIG cash and valuable papers, which
was returned Tuesday to lady in Alexandria,
Va.
Clifford Lee of Edmonton found suitcase along
the highway between Phillipsburg and Drummond
in southern Montana. He thought it belonged to
park service employe. Instead the owner turned
out to be forest service man in Juneau, Alaska
The suitcase was forwarded from Glacier.
" W. Griffiths of Hollyburn, B. c., came
across valuable Photographic light meter which
was returned to Chicago banker, and then there
was dark brown billfold containing S1O5, birth
certificate and other papers picked up near Rising
Sun and restored to its owners.
1t fits in with our ideas of Canadians to find
that they as group are more concerned at seeing
fellow travellers get back lost articles.
In fact the American idea of a Canadian tends
to be the thought that they are more considerate.
It's fine trait and reputation. MR.

Lake FiUe RQIIU

On this page is story concerning the appear
ance of George Marion, well-known author, at {
rally held at nearby Lake Five Sunday
Marion is an able writer, and author of such
books as "The Communist Trial" and "All Quiet in
the Kremlin.'
1t is not purpose to label Marion, but at
least it should be pointed out that his ideas for
solution of American problems differ from those
proposed by the Democratic and Republican par
ties Our own idea is that the solution to American
economic and international ills be achieved
through the two regular parties. Marion is much
friendlier to solutions for world ills favored by
Soviet Russia.
Furthermore it may be in this country that we
no longer tolerate ranging of political philosophy.
To be considered a good loyal American the situa-
tin may be that our solution for international and
spans and ideas of the Republican and Democratic
patterns.
At the same time we see Soviet Russia for ex
ample as a threat to the very existence OF Demo-
cracy, under which speakers like George Marion,
formerly at least, could speak at will.
George Marions speech at Lake Five delighted
fellow travellers, and shocked conformists to our
American way of life Marion shouldn't be under
1t is somewhat of a jolt to find this type of
speaker out here in peaceful vacationing area.
We read about such gatherings in industrial centers
of the East Let's be alert to the potential conflict
in theology that we have here. Be guard and
incidentally, we don't like Senator Mccarthy.
We could avoid having a story editorial on
this particular meeting, but the Hungry Horse
News doesn't work that way. MR.

speaker at the ]. H. RidenouI
Retro camp on Lake Five Sunday
afternoon.
Marion is author of such books
as "Stop the Press!', "All Quiet
in the Kremlin" and "Bases & En-
pire."
His Lake Five talk attracted
over 100 people both from this
area, other Montana communities
and other states.
Marion's subject was "The Next
Hundred Years." His development
was to the effect "This is a fact
loaded talk on present world con-
flict, its historic background and
its inevitable outcome. Is today's
world unrest due, as we are told,
to Communist conspiracy? Or is
it really a five-hundred year-old
revolt against capitalism, a rebel
lion against imperialism that can
never again be suppressed? What's
really happening? And what will
come of it all?"
Marion at his Lake Five speech
criticized the Iron Curtain as
Churchill propaganda. He related
lis experiences in Russia gather
ing information for a book. Mar
ion felt that there was no undue
in Russia. There
was announcement of an Aug. 16
meeting in Great Falls.

Smut Showing On
Winter Wheuf
by w. w. Mauritson
county extension agent

KALISPELL-Dwarf Smut OF
winter wheat is showing up in
fields all over the valley this year
From checks made from Creston,
Lower Valley and Saltwater this
promises to be one of the worst
years since 1947. There is no pre-
ventative or cure for Dwarf Smut.
Wasatch is a resistant variety.
1t is about 95 per cent resistant.
Some fields of Wasatch are show
ing up with from l to per cent
smut factor. Fields of Triplett-
a non-resistant variety-are show
ing to 10 per cent and probably
some are higher.
Dwarf Smut is characterized by
having part of the stems of a plant
being from 1s to II normal height.
The head may start to fill and
turn smutty or it may never fill on
the dwarfed stem. Dwarf Smut
will continue to show up from now
till harvest. Check fields and if
there is a smut factor, better plan
to get new Wasatch and early. On
ly three growers are raising regis
tered Wasatch this year. Wasatch
is not resistant to ordinary smut |
and should be treated for this
reason.
