Auoid A Strike

1t is about time interested bystanders stop try
ing to decide merits of the strike near and apt
to be disastrous to economy of the Flathead and
its people AS in most strikes, labor is public
opinions goat, and the situation can be unfair.
Instead we hope movement gains strength
that would have labor and contractors arbitrate
their differences This is not the time for decided
opinions but for compromise
Idea is to have laboring men of this valley get
prevailing wages agreed in negotiations under
way at nearby construction centers.
Furthermore retroactive pay pegged at the
wage rate would be paid, if there are adjust
ments
While there is rising unemployment nation
wide, and no increase in living costs, labor in the
West apparently is getting some minor wage in
creases.
It would be a shame to see the new AAC plant
shut down because men are not able to get to-
gether on the question of Sc week or less pay
increase. The boost may or may not be merited,
but there are other considerations
That AAC plant, benefit project following
Hungry Horse Dam, is the whole Flatheads objec-
tive to help lick seasonal unemployment. It should
be kept on schedule. Next winter men are to start
steady jobs making aluminium. long strike will
change the picture We see nothing to indicate the
length of the strike despite rumors of one day to
two years There is a lot of wishful thinking on one
hand and sad sack reasoning on the other

Misinformed About
Bunker Creek Rood

Indication that the question OF
the proposed road up Bunker creek
in the South Fork is not being de-
cided on its merits is indicated by
these two paragraphs from an As
sociated Press story printed in
daily papers Monday:
"MISSOULA (AP) = Western
Montana Conservation Assn. mem
bers of the Montana Wildlife Fed
Grafton meeting in Missoula Sat-
urday, adopted resolutions:
Opposing the construction of
additional forest development
roads into the Bob Marshall will
derness area in the Bunker sec
ton" There were also other rec
concentrations of a general state
wide nature.
Apparently those conservation
men meeting in Missoula were
led to believe that the proposed
Bunker creek road was into the
Bob Marshall wilderness. 1t is not.

Ballots Count

There's public school situation of some con-
sequence that is breaking exactly at the wrong
time.
Saturday, residents of district and nearby rur-
al areas of Canyon View and Bad Rock to vote
the question of $16O,OOO bond issue to build
eight-room addition to Columbia Falls high school,
School authorities have pointed out the need
for the addition. The present building is overcrowd
ed, and there is anticipation of a decided enroll
ment increase next fall.
we hope citizens weigh the school problem
purely on the need of added classrooms Actually
that is the question, and it is of faith in the
future.
Frankly, it does not seem that the bond issue
will carry in view of the strike and other factors
of school problems. At least we hope the failure
is not brought about through default by voters of
their franchise.
If this isn't the time to vote for an eight-room
high school addition, so mark the ballots, but ex
ercise the right of citizens MR.

this area as peg or leverage.
In short there will be lot of happy people in
the Flathead if contractors and labor can agree to
a wage pattern by letting the question hinge on
conclusions reached during these spring months

In this case we do not see the strike weapon
as necessity for labor to achieve wage increase.
We are not Orientals when it comes to face
saving. Let's bend little, and see if this strike
can be averted. MR.

KALISPELL-4-H Clubs and
good citizenship go hand in hand.
A child that is interested in pro-
ject that he can call his own is
never a juvenile delinquent. Your
boy or girl needs an interest that
is educational to help prepare them
for later life. In 1853 there were
approximately 400 All members
in Flathead county alone. Now is
the time to form new clubs or re-
organize old clubs for 1854. If in
terested contact the county agents
office in Kalispell.
A feeder tour will be held April
81, starting from the Flathead
county fairgrounds. 1t is of spec
ial interest to breeders who will be
looking at potential market for
their feeder cattle and to the far
mer who may feed the cattle. A To-
cal operation in swine feeding will
be visited. Don Curtain, head buy
er for Armour Co., Spokane, will
present the packers viewpoint on
the type of livestock that are de-
sirable from their viewpoint.
A meeting of the Western Mon
tana Wool Growers association was
held in Missoula, Saturday, with
Harold Glazier and j. R. Yocum
attending as representatives of
Flathead county woolgrowers. APP
proximately 145,000 pounds of
wool were marketed in 1858 by
this combination of four western
Montana wool pools, and this years
clip should be larger. Leonard
Leese, Stevensville, was elected
general secretary and sales rep
resentative for 1854. Theme of the
meeting was a higher quality clip
by more careful feeding, prepara-
ton and handling of wool.

AVALANCHE CREEK
Out of the lake and down the hill,
Rolling and tumbling the rocks at
will,
Is Avalanche Creek.
Flowing onward thru bush and
reed,
Growing louder, greater speed;
Then with a wild leap over
precipice
Into a roaring, seething abyss,
That's Avalanche Creek.
Tossing white water in its play,
Forming rainbows in the spray,
That's Avalanche Creek.
Onward, seeking lower land
Working its way thru rocks and
sand,
Finally reaching what it seeks,
Mingling its water with other
creeks,
Lost, is Avalanche Creek.
