YOUR KITCHEN : AND FARM MACHINERY

The modern American kitchen is miracle of labosaving

That Kitchen strange the idea may wouldn't be
possible it weren't for farm machinery tractors and harves

Here's the In this nations early days it took s5
farm workers TO produce food for themselves and 5
Others farmers produce enough for themselves

farm output has doubled while the number Of manhous needed
TO achieve the production has steadily declined That
that vast armies of people have been able TO take Jobs

be only comparative handful of people available TO the
factories if still dependent human and animal labor

Farm output must be much greater still in the future

Dollars Well Spent

Residents of Columbia Falls are being asked
this weekend to contribute to the city's volunteer
fire department.
Solicitation is by mail with no house to house
business to business calling planned.
1t is hoped that householders will give their
dollar so, and businesses from $5 and $40 up.
Objective of the drive is to raise about $500 to
purchase new set of tires for one of the trucks,
and 400 feet of 21a inch and 1 " inch hose.
Columbia Falls likes its 28-member volunteer
fire department They've done good job here. Since
1916 there've been two new trucks purchased
through donations. About four years ago the fire
rating was reduced with cut in premiums of about
33 per cent.
In the meantime loss from fire has been rela-
lively low. Columbia Falls and surrounding area
has been receiving good service from its volunteer
department.
Major equipment needs of the department are
obtained through donated funds. Mill levies as re-
qured by law take care of fremen retirement, and
also of gasoline, maintenance and similar expense.
Equipment purchase is something else.
We always seem to be starting another fund
drive in our communities. There's nothing indirect
or hidden in the benefits of dollar sent the Colum

and deserve support. Roy Anders is the depart
ments treasurer. Mr.

with leaders who the product of political parties
In President Eisenhower they have chief ex-
ecutive who up until the start of the 1852 campaign
was general with political affiliations, if any, un-
known.
Now he is leader of the Republican party. The
people like him. There is nothing to indicate that
the majority of the people favor the Republican
party any than they did four or six years ago.
1t is not the capabilities of the Democratic can
didates but the situation where the majority of the
population prefers a interested federal gov
ernment We may joke about too much government,
but farmers want price supports; the West wants
big dams; industry seeks big government contracts;
Labor wants more security or control depending
how one looks at it.
Republicans obviously aware of the charm
of the President. He is not a great speaker nor a
dynamic personality, for that matter a man par
ticulary well versed in domestic problems and
needs of the nation. He has much better interna-
tional grasp but internationally America is not do
ing particularly well.
1t is difficult to explain the Eisenhower popu-
larity, but it exists to a major degree.
Republicans are pinning their hopes on the COM
ing election to the Eisenhower appeal. It's charm
of a man, not of party.
The general election is just month away. Our
thought is that while voters like the Republican
party's leader, they're voting Democratic. Mr.. Els
enhower's name is not the ballot. MR.
