were agricultural Arkansas, coal dependent Wes'
Virginia and little changing New Hampshire
The nations population increased 6S per cent
in four years. according to the U. S. News article
Montana went up So percent from $4,000 to 624,-
900 compared to Idaho'S $4,000 to Gil 900 for So
per cent gain; North Dakotas 100000 to 635OOO for
26 per cent; Wyoming's 282, 900 to 100000 for ~
per cent and Washingtons 2,317,000 to 2,459OOO
for 61 per cent.
In short Montana shows up favorably in COM
parison with neighboring states.
Factors helping population increase include at
tractive winter climate which helped Florida, Arlz-
ona and of course California. There is also major
factor in industry.
In Montana one does not expect increased pop
ulaton in the great wheat and cattle areas OF the
population A man with tractor can do more IarIl-
ing than did with horse.
Irrigated farms support more families than does
dry land farming
The oil booms and general prosperity helped
continued growth of Montana cities
Here in the Flathead we in continued tran
sition periods. Construction of Hungry Horse Dam
and now the Anaconda Aluminium Co. plant brought
about growth, but partially transient "Here today
and gone tomorrow"
What we are realizing is that Columbia Fails
Martin City and Coram have tripled lumber IN
dustry since the war, and mills are expanding.
The Anaconda plant viewed with the same
"scope" as Hungry Horse Dam has a large con-
struction force The dam was finished and mas an
operational force of 65 to 70 men. When the alum
mum plant is completed, 450 men will be employed
The plant is result of the dam.
The story of population increase is demonstrat-
ed by taking second growth timberland with few
interspersing fields where one family lived. Next
clearing the land and through investment and en-
gneering creating industrial plant that will pro-
duce aluminium.
The result is 45O men making living in 1855
Sc where three years ago one family made nome.
This is factor of popu1aton growth that the Flat
head is experiencing along with its increased lum-
herring recreation and trade MR.

Free Press Problems

There is tendency on the part of men elected
to office to think in terms of "now we've got the
reins for the next two years. and then proceed with
a minimum of public participation.
Result is that over the land boards and COM
mittees frequently meet behind closed doors decid-
ing the future of towns school districts, the county,
state and nation.
The Montana Press Association executive board
meeting in Helena, Monday heard that in Wash
ton, D. c. A per cent of the hearings were closed
to the press and public Executive sessions on the
part of city councils, county commissioners and
school boards are attempt to keep proceedings OF
public bodies from the public.
The press representatives in Helena discussed the
blind" report of public meeting that says routine
business was discussed" This tells the public moth
ing"
It was proposed that the public is entitled to
know the motions and votes made at their school
board city council and county commissioners meet
ngs Opinions and discussions need not be reported.
Robert Scanlan, Miles City, state press associa-
ton president, appointed Montana free press COM
mittee of Jack Coulter, Hamilton chairman, with
Larry Bowler, Scobey, and Ken Byerly Lewlstown'
All editors experience freedom of the press IS
sues.
Much of the news in the Hungry Horse News
comes from school boards, city government federal
and county office We have had fine cooper
atom hope we present material in accurate form,
and desire good relations to continue.
The cause of freedom of the press is served by
being tactful with officials of government
However if a newspaper has occasion to criticize
the action of board retaliation often becomes well
see that you don't get the news"
Democracy would be equally as well served oy
shooting reporters.
The situation of board holding back informa-
ton on its decisions from friends and neighbors
becomes undermining the very foundations OF free
land.
This whole problem of keeping the public well
informed on government is shared by every com
nunity over the land. MN

Notices calling for sealed tenders
on lots available for residential
purposes in Waterton Lakes Ma
tional Park townsite have been
posted in post offices throughout
southern Alberta by the depart
ment of northern affairs and ma
tional resources.
A new subdivision was recent
ly opened in Waterton townsite
allowing additional lots for lease.
Some lots previously advertised
are also available; there are seven
lots in all.
Conditions of the leases and
method of submitting tenders are
listed on the notices. Tenders are
to be addressed to the Superin-
tendent, Waterton Lakes National
Park, and received by him not la
ter than Nov. 80, 1854.
Persons interested in building
in Waterton townsite would be
wise to make every effort to pro-
cure one of these lots, as depart

unlikely additional lots will be ad-
vertised in the near future.

Local Government

Americans have just been through general
election that saw record number OF voters for
non-presidential year.
We constantly hear that good Americans exer-
else their franchise, and believe this statement
Then we look at the community where we live.
Certainly each of us have more influence and more
to say about government in our own town than we
do about the state and national government.
Yet Columbia Falls has government by de-
fault There is an absence of interest on the part
of citizens in what becomes of this community The
town has that look.
We are not facing up to the problems of side
walks streets, sewers and most other situations that
confront small city. At the same time Columbia
Falls viii grow in spite of any of us.
These past weeks have seen Columbia Falls
city council wreste with the problem OF an ord
nance that would establish minimum state board
of health requirements for local trailer courts and
restrict trailer parking throughout the community
to regularly set-up trailer courts.
The ordinance seemed too involved, and the
situation of telling folks already living here In trail
ers to move, too abrupt. Yet Columbia Falls needs
some type of regulation. The proposed ordinance
failed. There protests, and those who favored
such regulation were their usual quiet selves.
Columbia Falls is now approaching the prob
lem of a new dumpground. The present dump Is
well within smelling distance of the community and
effectively blocks growth west 1t viii be interest,"
ing to see reaction about new location
The city is also approaching the problem OF
long overdue Zoning.
Our thought is that zoning regulations will be
watered down to not step on any toes Inc
teeth will be located in provisions that will be OF
little concern to any of now. 1t takes strong pub
lie sentiment and support to bring about effective
zoning. This is missing.
Today the only protection man with $lO,-
600 house in Columbia Falls has is the relatively
high price of lots in some parts of the community

There is nothing in Columbia Falls to prevent
an automobile wreckng business from locating IN
the old town square for that matter IN the heart
of any residential section The new business could
even be one dealing in hides and fuTs.
Columbia Falls also faces situation that tnls
is likely the largest community in Montana with
out sewer system. Most of the city is favored by
excellent gravel drainage for septic tanks and cess
pools There is part of the town with clay pam
Natural protection of sewage drainage away from
water mains is not found everywhere in Columbia
Falls.
We hope the city can achieve progress IN a
sewer system before typhoid epidemic or the state
Board of Health takes action.
We should also realize that we do not solve the
question of good government by elecung a gooo
mayor and city council To achieve efficient govern

PTA Plans for Christmas

APGAR = West Glacier-Apgat
PTA met at the recreation hall
Monday evening with Presiden
Earl Lawlor presiding.
Plans were made for PTA spon-
sored Apgar-West Glacier Christ
mas parties. There was a discussion
of possible changes in lunch houl
time at West Glacier school tc
provide an extra 10 minutes al
noon.
Music was provided by the Rob-
inson twins, Myra and Marjorie
with brother, Paul, turning the
pages. We enjoyed the piano duets
very much.
Guest speaker for the evening
was Supt. Dulane Fulton, of dis
trict 6, who very ably discussed
teaching methods. His theme was
Lets Attack the Problem Instead
of the Schools" Said Supt. Fulton
in part" this year throughout the
U. S. education in all its aspects is
being debated as never before"
The main problem or challenge
facing education today is how to
get it all in, how to maintain GER
tain values and approaches that
have proven themselves in the last
160 years and yet enable the in
dividual to feel at home in. the
goth century, which has already
seen more change than has occur
red in the last 1000 years. The
central problem is not to find new
principles but to make the old
ones work; not to create new val
ues but to get rid of the old as
sumptions.
WORLD EDUCATION
The rest of the world is also
considering education. In Tokyo,
an opinion poll established that
the japanese people regarded pub
lie education as the nations great
est single asset. In New Delhi, con-
testing political parties differed on
almost everything except to push
forward one of the most far-reach-
ing educational programs in his
tory.
We do not know how the con-
troversy on education in our coun-
try will end, but we do know that
education in the U. S. will have
its effect on the whole world"
Phil Nelson, principal of Col
umbia Falls grade schools accom-
panied Supt. Fulton and following
Mr.. Fulton's talk, explained the
testing programs in district 6. Ac-
tual tests were handed out to be
examined and Mr.. Nelson answer
ed questions concerning the test
ing. We thought this particularly
interesting.
We thought this an exceptionally
good program. Thank you, Supt.
Fulton, Mr.. Nelson and Myra and
Marjorie Robinson.
Delicious coffee and cake were
served by Mrs. Estey, Dorothy

Friday Apgar school all wrote
letters to Tommy Harrington, who
is at Camp Gordon in the signal
corps. We think it must still be
pretty hot down there because
Tommy wrote that we were pretty
lucky if we could even just see
snow.
We took the rest of our Halo
ween decorations down. We keep
our decorations from year to year
so when we had to decorate in a
rush the other day it just took
one half hour to get all four win
dows covered. We thought with 80
hands using tape on the windows
and all, that we would have to
wash the windows right away but
the children pointed out reproach-
fully that the windows weren't
dirty. l stand corrected.
Pokey still isn't eating and hasn't
eaten for two weeks. He still tries
to climb out of the box of dirt so
we just put him back in his tank,
but we worry about him.
We were all very sorry to tell
the Montgomery family good-by
Friday. Mrs. Montgomery has been
teaching the children some new
dances and we think she did
good job. Mr.. Montgomery also
came and called some dances for
the children. He goes here and
there, calling for square dances;
back to Illinois, to California, Spo-
kane and other places so the chill
dren were quite thrilled to have
him come to the school and call for
them.
We thank the Montgomery fam
lily for all the kind things they did
for us and we wish them success
and happiness in their new loca-
ton.
