Repair and Remodeling. Approximate
ly half OF the buildings at present houS-
ing patients are in need of extensive
remodeling. Additional toilet and bath
ing facilities are badly needed. Fire
protection is at a minimum.
Storage Facilities. There are no central
storage facilities. Fourteen separate ia
cilities are in use, including some attics,
damp easements, and ancient frame
buildings.
Adequate Facilities for tuberculosis Pa
tients. (Those transferred from the Tu-
berculosis Sanitarium with psychotic re-
action)
Water. The water is 27 grains hard and
has high mineral content, leaving depos-
it's inside pipes and valves causing seri-
GUS maintenance problem. A new water
supply must be provided.
Recreational Building for Patients. The
needs for such building is especially
great in Montana with its long winter
months.
Sewage Disposal Unit. The State Board
of Health is actively urging that sewage
disposal unit be installed for the protec-

Living Quarters of Employees. Of the
200 employees, about 10 now commute
from neighboring towns. About 80 9TH
ers either are inadequately housed or
occupy space needed for patients.
The final decision on the selection of the
celtic items of construction and the amounts
be used for each item will be made by the
ate Board of Examiners upon recommended
IN of the superintendent. All the monies
ceived from the bond issues of Referenda
and So will be spent on these items. The
disability is that the income from the bond
ues will not be sufficient to cover all re-
irements.

Dormitories. At present over $50 pa
TENTS are crowded into space for $50,
according to Montana state law. There
are now over 235 children on the waiting
list, which has grown from 100 in 1850.
The last Legislature authorized the
construction of two dormitories for the
severely retarded, but these are still in
the planning stage.
There is urgent need for added dormi-
tory space for 200 more children.
School Unit. The Montana State Train
ing School is school, not penal insti-
tuition. A part of it's value is in the eff
fectiveness of it's training program.
Present classes now are being held in
an old building, inadequate, antiquated
and a fire-trap. A new school unit
should also provide a general assembly
hall to replace the understood and unsafe
one now located on a third floor. Many
of the infirm are denied attendance at
church and other functions because they
. cannot safely climb three flights of
stairs
Sewage Disposal. The construction of
sewage disposal plant is necessary for
the health of those outside the institu-
ton as we'll as those inside. The institu-
ton is pouring raw untreated sewage
into the Boulder river.
Laundry Facilities. If the children are
to be kept in clean clothing, present
laundry facilities must be expanded
Farm Dormitory. Thirty older patients
who work on the farm now live in, a fire
trap They need safe living and sleeping
quarters.
Farm Land. The record of production on
the institutions farm is excellent. How
ever, with increasing numbers of children
to feed, more farm land is a necessity.
Farming is large part of the educa-
tional therapy program.
Employee Housing. Many key persons
who should reside at the school are re-
quired to live elsewhere because of the
lack of employee housing. Employee
housing at the school would improve eff
fectiveness of their services.
Repair and Remodeling. Several build
ings need repair and remodeling. Wir-
ing in some of the buildings is insufficient
and dangerous. Fire escapes are needed.
If these buildings are to be used much
longer, they must be repaired.
Other Improvements: A slaughterhouse,
storehouse, road surfacing, and some re-
placement of furniture.

Bond Service

Referendum SO (1946) bonds for two mil
lion dollars are now being serviced on a one
half mill levy for period of ten years. On
this basis, the rate of income is such that the
bonds will be paid for in less than ten years.
I'm fact, less than nine years.
Taking the experience of Referendum SO
as a guide, the bonds ($3,500,000) authoriz
ed by Referenda 81 and SO, to be serviced
over twenty-year period, can be serviced
with the one-half mill levy now servicing the
Referendum so bonds. According to the best
estimates the Referendum SO bonds will be
paid for at approximately the time it will be
necessary to levy the one-half mill levy for
Referenda 81 and So bonds. This means
that the property tax would remain at the
present level. 1t does, of course, also mean
that the taxpayer will be deprived of pos
sible one-half mill reduction in taxes in 1856.
However, there is a dire need for increas-
ed facilities at these two state institutions and
in the long run it may be more economical to
continue the one-half mill levy now than have
to increase it later in order to care for the
needs in Montana.

young Belgian priests, Father
Eugene Kunsch and Father
Joseph Bruneau, both of the
Society of Mission Auxiliar-

prison camps within the past
year, according to reports
reaching here. Father Kunsch
died last October, Father Bru-

The two priests we're professors
in the junior seminary of Buichu
vicariate, when they were captured
in June, 1858. Father Kunsch had
come to Buichu from Belgium in
November, 1850, and Father Bru-
neau in September, 1851.
They were held with other pris-
oners, including Vietnamese e
priests. A Vietnamese priest was
with each of them at the hour of
death and gave last absolution,
The vietninh chained the
priests hands and feet. The
chains were taken from the fwo
Belgian missionaries only in
their last days, when they were
dying of illness brought on by
hardship and undernourishment.
Three Vietnamese priests Of

books was the first speaker in the

agreements than the Americans"
He said the British realize the area
of essential agreement is very large.
"They have had a lot to put up
with from America since he war"
said Sir Arnold. Constant and
ignorant attacks on British Colon

Persia, and what hurt us most, in
viting our Dominion Australia but
not inviting us to the Pacific Con-
ference.

Americans have had lot to put
up with from us for example,
the insults of the Bevan faction.
On the balance, feel America has
had more to put up with than we
have"
Sir Arnold said the influence
of Christianity was greater in
England in the 18th century than
II is today. He expressed belief
that ii was declining influence
whereas today the influence OF
Christianity is increasing and
this for many reasons:
81. The shallow optimism of
those who hoped that science would
take the place of religion and
guide the world to Utopia has been
shattered by the atom bomb.
-. The results of physical re-
search have had great influence
in wrecking the traditional mater
ialistic PHILOSOPHERS based on a
misunderstanding of science.
"3. The tragic failure of the ex-
pertinent of substituting scientists
for priests and atheism for Chris
tianity in Soviet Russia has predis-
posed young people to re-examine
the case of the supernatural" :"
He attributed "a general cultur-
al decline" in England in part to
