WINTERTZE-OR-BUST!

In case nice, round figures have fascination for you it may be exciting to know that American motor ists will use 8000O0O0 gallons of ant-freeze this winter It is also safe to predict that thousands of these motorists will put off getting until the first freeze takes them by surprse-When they will all rush their service stations causing the fanciest jamup the ongsufferng station operator has yet seen This can be vsualized by remembering what mapped last year and considering that there will be million and half more cars and trucks than before requiring winter protection.
 Thus the automobile industry and, more especial ly, your service man, hoping everybody will ob- serve Ant-Freeze Week-from October IS to 23-by getting his readied up for the rough road ahead
 If you put it off till it's case of anti-freeze-or- bust there won't be time for proper flushng checking for leaks and the other jobs that will make winter driving safer, easer-and probably less expensive.

Referendum Election Set
For Important Measures

The referendum election, orig
inally scheduled for next Tues
day, has been postponed week
and has now been set for Tues
day, September 81. The action
was taken by the Blackfeet Trib-
al Council Wednesday.
Three highly important issues
will be voted on by members of
the Tribe in the referendum
eletion. The postponemcnt was
made in order that ballot prep
aration and other time consum-
ing details could be taken care
of properly.
There will be nine polling
places in the four districts as in
other rescrvation.wide elections
of the Blackfeet Tribe. The dis.
tricts are Browning, Seville, Old
Agency and Heart Butte.
A near maximum vote is an.
ticipated as the three referen-
dunn issues to be balloted upon
have to do with policies involv.
ing Tribal economy. Separate
ballots for each issue will be uti.
lized.
One issue that has stirred con.
troversy is the proposal seeking
necessary congressional legisla-
ton to grant all mineral rights.
coal. oil and gas, to the original
allottees in possession of land
that was allotted on or after
June 30, 1919. including all
homesteads. In the event the
original allottee is deceased.
their heirs would be granted
these rights. This proposed ref
erendum has the backing of the
Obtain Our Mineral Rights Com.
mittee and is the only one they
favor.
The other two proposed ref.
erendums are offered by and
supported by the Tribal Council.
One of the issues will enable
the voters to decide who shall be
placed on the Blackfeet Tribal
rolls. The result, which must be
approved by the Secretary of
the Interior. will settle the con.
tention that persons of less than
one.eighth Indian blood be not
qualified to participate as bene.
ficiaries.
The second of the measures
sponsored by the Tribal Coun.
Gil calls for the provision of a
large recreational center for the
varied needs of entertainment
and comfort of members of the
Tribe. A dream of such a pro.
jcct has been entertained by
some members of the Tribe for
the past ten years or more.
1t Is recalled that some years
ago Mrs. Hi Woodward as q can.
didate for the Tribal Council.
proposed such a project in her
platform.
