Waste of Suns Eneroy

DENVER. x Only one two

radiated by the sun actually

So the state, as it should, gave its
share through the Capitol building Land
Grant Fund which can be used only for
buildings at the Capital, when the 31st
Legislative Assembly met the impact
of all the interest stirred up by those
distinguished gentlemen from Great
Falls and Helena and their able cohorts.
Handsome Structure
Everyone agreed to the plans pre-
scented by A. Y. McIver of Great Falls,
and those plans became a handsome
limestone structure just east of the
Capitol, with its modern functional lines
a perfect foil for the new look found
therein.
John EwerS from the Smithsonian In
stitution came out to plan with the new
director of the Society, K. Ross Toole,
great-grandson of Baron O'Keefe who
too was one of Montana's early pio-
neers, a museum program that would
give a continuity in the picturing of
Montana's early history and develop
ment.
History is written in objects as well

Charles Bovey perhaps more than any
other one person directed the progress
of the Society's reorganization and the
progress of the bill in the Legislature
that in 1949 gave $3.50, 900 for building.
Lester Lobe representing the Sons and
Daughters of Montana Pioneers and
Veterans organizations had directed the
legal processes. Norman Winestine
threw the support of the states XII
wanians toward such a project, and
Pioneers and Veterans organizations
had earlier pushed legislative clearance
for a Memorial Veterans and Pioneers
Building.
The Sons and Daughters gave the lots
for the building for their material con-
tribution. The Veterans had contrib
uted their share too, for back in 1919
a bill legalizing boxing had earmarked
certain portion of the proceeds of
boxing matches to be used for the bene-
fit of soldiers, sailors and marines,
and those funds had grown into sub
stantial fund, later to provide for the
furnishings of the building.

If Plan Prevails

Nearby area Community Chest
officials yesterday agreed they
would set up separate agencies to

Agency is merged with the Hos
pital Council.
Their position was stated in q
release by the HSA, following q

posal that HSA be absorbed by
the Hospital Council was dis
cusSed.
The HSA now administers
about $3.50 900 spent annually for
hospital services by the area
Community Chest.
EFT was the unanimous opin-
ion of those present that. If it
were arranged to have the Hos
pital Council Of the Metropolitan

to withdraw from the central

establish their own independent
certifying and distributing agen-
cies," q spokesman said.

Those present, he said. were
officials Of the Prince Georges
and Fairfax Counties and Alex
andria Chest organizations and

control of HSA be shifted from
its Board Of Trustees to the

The Executive Board Of the
District Medical Society has
joined with the officers Of HSA
IN opposing the proposed merger.
The spokesman said those
present yesterday agreed that
HSA should continue '"as pres
entity constituted, with some
minor notifications"
Before UCS Group.
The group recommended that
the HSA seek membership in
the several Chests whose funds
it administers and that the HSA
president, the Rev. Paul A. Nc
Nally, and his Board Of Trustees
formulate proposed revisions
to the organizations bylaws.
The merger plan is now before
the UCS Executive Committee
for approval and must then go to
the UCS Board of Trustees.

age, based on a top of 4, was
