ago when it was apparent that ar
aluminium plant was going to be
constructed near Columbia Falls
the City Council realized that ad-
ditional water supply and water
system improvements were re-
quired. The City Council realized
that the expenditure of a small
amount of money to determine a
sound policy for development of
future water supply was essential
at that time. Our firm was en-
ployed to make detailed study
and prepare report for the Coun-
ell. These studies were made in
considerable detail and considered
alternate sources of supply. The
studies showed that a "combina-
ton gravity and well system" was
a more economical solution for the
city on a long range planning ba-
sis than either an all gravity sys-
tenn or an all well supply.
The report does not state that
"The present supply is ample for
an estimated population of 1000 in
$780," The report does state that
the Crystal Creek drainage area
does have the potential to pro-
vide sufficient water for popula-
ton of 1000 providing a large
storage reservoir is constructed to
permit collection of runoff water
during the spring of the year and
storing it for use during the drier
portions of the year. Actually the
supply is inadequate,
which is visually apparent during |
dry portions of the year by the
drop in the small reservoirs at the
source of the supply. The cost of
the required long term storage
reservoir makes this solution more
costly in first and yearly costs
than a combination gravity and
well system.
The detailed studies also showed
hat the development of wells was
he most logical immediate step
which would permit the City to
meet the growing demand for wa
er at a price that was within the
Iity's financial means. This course
# action also permitted having

FIotheod TO Have
Air Rescue Drill

KALISPELL-The Flathead will
be the scene Saturday and Sunday
of an air search and rescue oper-
alton as a part of the Civil Air
Patrol program.
This air search and rescue op-
GRAFTON comes on the heels of four
air national guard jet planes in
cluding the "City of Kalispell'
buzzing the county port last Sun
day afternoon. They couldn't land,
the runwayS are too short.
Headquarters of the coming
CAP effort to alert the Flathead
to air search and rescue will be
Flathead county airport. Partici-
pating will be about 20 planes and
rs men from Great Falls, Helena,
Dutton, Eureka, Libby, Missoula,
Cut Bank, Dillon, Hamilton and
the Flathead.
In addition observing techniques
will be a SA 16 amphibious res
cue plane with an inspection Off
Ger from McCord field near Ia
coma.
The public is welcome. Plan is
to hold a briefing session at 9 a.
M, and then a search will start
(likely for a piece of yellow bunt-
ing someplace in the mountains).
The operation, however, includes
procedures of getting information
as to all reports of persons seeing
downed object. Pattern would
be the same for a plane actually
forced down.
The drill is to continue Sunday.
In the Flathead Monday arrang-
ing for the coming search and res
cue operation were Major Maur-
ice Stuart, Helena, airforce reg
ular and liaison officer with the
CAP for Montana; Major William
Osborne, Helena, wing operating
officer; Major Homer Peters, Hell
ena, wing air inspector; Captain
Ray Patrick, commanding officer
of Eureka squadron; 1t. Clarence
Miles, commanding officer at Mis-
soula, and Elliott Holder of Eu-
reka group.

Good Neiehbor' With Fish
hv Mrs. Daisy Sparks

SUNRIFT-Talking of fishing,
we heard a good fish story last
week. Two couples from Canada
came down into Flathead to catch
and taste some of our wonderful
fish. They paid the usual price for
license CHATS plenty for an
out-of- -stater). After fishing for
the length of their time they had
caught nothing" They saw a To-
cal fellow a short distance from
them catching the big ones. Walk
ing up stream to him they asked
"How do you catch such nice
fish," After hearing his yarn of
how easy it really is, they told
him how their luck had turned out
and that tomorrow" we have to
return or pay another ten bucks
to stay another day and oh, how
fish hungry we are"
This lucky fisherman (local
fishing-fool SCHENECTADY handed
over his catch of the day (two
large bull trout and two nice rain
bow) saying to the Canadian
neighbors, "Here take these, 1 can
catch some more tomorrow eve
ming"
Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Johnson
and MIR. and Mrs. Victor Johnson

with Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Wright.
The Johnstons came over for a
fishing trip and we hope they
catch their limit.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. P. Watts re-
ceived word Sunday morning that

cident Saturday morning near
Havre, while working on job

pital with a dislocated hip and a
broken arm. His condition is not
considered serious but he will be
laid up for same weeks.

Poet'A Connen
SONGS

What a dull world this would be
If it were not for our songs!
Serious songs or gay ones.
There's a place where each be-
longs.
Love songs
Mother songs
And songs patriotic
Nature songs,
War songs
Or songs idiotic.
There are songs of deep emotion;
Songs that are light and gay.
Songs of the mighty ocean,
And the sailor boys wild lay.
Sailor songs
Hunters songs
And songs of the busy mart.
River songs,
Mountain songs,
And songs of the lonely heart.
There are songs of such sweet
sadness
And songs whose only claim
Is to fill the world with gladness
Without a thought of fame.
Moonlight songs
Morning songs
Songs of the quiet even.
Sacred songs
That turn the mind
To thoughts of God and Heaven.
Among the names that never die;
Those names where fame be-
longs,
May we find the names of those
kindly souls
Who write our country's songs.

He said his personal guess

cigarette manufacture should be

He said there were some indica-

cigar and pipe smokers were more
