Glacier Library
Serves 100000

THE GLACIER COUNTY Ii
brary is spreading the news of good
books and good reading with two
weekly radio programs. Every Fri
day, a dramatization of well-known
folk and fairy tales is heard over
the air, presented by local talent
under the direction of Mrs. Ruth
Longworth, the county librarian.
'"The Wonderful World of Books"
a program of book reviews and mu-
sic, is offered by Mrs. Longworth
each Monday to remind the listen
ers of the joys and rewards to be
found in good literature and to call
attention to the excellent collection
of recorded music which the Ii
brary has to offer.
The Glacier County Library is
entering its ninth year of service to
the community. 1t has grown from
very small supply of books to
collection of over $4,000 volumes.
Service is now countrywide, with
stations and branches in every Sec
ton of the county, and with supple
mentary reading material supplied
to all the rural schools.
The main branch is located in Cut
Bank, giving full time library serv-
ice to that city. During the past
year, quarters supplied by the town
of Browning and put into good re-
pair by the Browning Lions Club
have made it possible to provide
full-time library service in that
town. An excellent supply of at
tractive and colorful books to suit
all ages. with daily access to the
collection and the friendly services
of Mrs. Leroy Des Roster, branch
librarian, has increased circulation
to nearly 1900 books month II
that locale.
One of the objections Offered
when establishment of the library
was proposed, nine years ago by the
Cut Bank Woman's Club, was thai

tee, which had approved it. He's a
powerful member of the committee.
Finally the house sent the bill back
to the committee, shelving it for the
session.
Veteran House observers could not
remember a prior case in which a
freshman congressman of the minor
ity party led successful fight to kill
bill that had been approved by a
committee to which he did not be-
long.
Perhaps the biggest fight of Met
calf's career thus far is against the
so-called stockmen's grazing bill,
which was introduced early last year
at the request of ranchers grazing
cattle and sheep on federal lands.
Backers said the bill is needed to
provide uniform regulation of graz
ing on lands of different classifica-
tions and to give the ranchers more
secure leasing rights.
Opponents termed the measure an
attempt by stockmen to "get their
feet in the door and control the pub
lie domain"
Opposition was so strong the orig
inal bill never was brought up for
debate. Several "watered-down" pro-
posals were offered, and Metcalf OPP
posed them all at House and Senate
committee hearings.
Recently a grazing amendment
wac attached to the farm bill in the
Senate. The bill, which already had
passed the House, was sent to House
and Senate conferees.
Sen. Aiken (R-Vt), chairman of
the Senate agriculture and forestry |
announced on the Sen
ate floor during debate on the amend
ment that it had been modified in
order to meet the objections of Rep
resentative Metcalf of Montana, who |
made some very good suggestions
about modifying the bill, and those
were accepted and writ
zen into the bill"
The soft-spoken, 43-year-old Met
calf recently was given an award for
distinguished service to conserva-
ion" The award is sponsored by five
national conservation and sports
mems groups.
Metcalf, the first new congressman
Montana has sent to the capitol since
1915, hopes to stay here. He won re-

would not give the permittee any
vested interest, but foes of the meas
ure argue that it would.
The bill's opponents explain that
when a permittee makes an improve
ment, that would make it more likely
that when his permit expired he'd get
it renewed. He'd have an added argu-
ment for renewal in that he'd made
an investment.
But they say that the Improvement
adds to the carrying capacity of the
range-the number of head of cattle
or other livestock it can feed-and
he'd benefit by having his number
of livestock grazing there increased.
Furthermore, since any increased
value of the grazing permit en-
hances the value of the base ranch
owned by the permittee, the ranch
resale price would therefore go up.
That in turn would make it harder
for less wealthy persons to acquire
ranches or permits, they contend.
CONTRAVENES PROPERTY LAWS
Legal experts like Sens. Wayne
Morse (Ind-Ore.) former law school
dean, and Sam Erwin, former judge,
that this provision would Gre
ate complex legal problems involving
of dollars. Improvements in
all other cases belong to the landown-
er, not the tenant, they point out.
Morse told the Senate the govern
ment should keep clear title to the
forest lands.
He warned that the provision would
give the stockmen vested right.
In a hot verbal battle with Sen.
Frank Barrett (R-Wyo.), who was the
sponsor in former Con-
crosses of bills more clearly giving the
what they want, Morse said
ned support a bill under which the
government would make improve
