request to increase charges on flat
rate water users 25 per cent will
be aired at a hearing of the Pub
lie Service Commission in Colum-
bia Falls city hall Tuesday at $3.50
a. m.
Other question at the public
hearing is the proposal by Colum-
bia Falls to place a 10 per cent
penalty on all water bills not paid
before the 18th day of the follow
ing month.
Notice of the public hearing on
the water questions in Columbia
Falls is By order of the Public
Service Commission, John E. Hen
ry, chairman; Austin B. Middleton
and Leonard c. Young, commits
sioners, with James B. Patten, Sec
retary-counsel attesting. Patten

sioners are expected to be present.
The city will present its case of
the need for more revenue in view

Beetles Attacking
LodqepoIe Pine

Mountain pine beetle ravaging
of lodgepole pine in the Spotted
Bear section of Flathead National
Forest was observed this week
by a survey crew of six men lead
by Tom Terrell, Occur d'Alene.
Terrell is from the federal for
est insect laboratory.
The pine beetles closely resem-
BILE spruce bark beetles that have
decimated local spruce. Big diff
erence is that pine beetles prefer
pine. Their larvae girdles and kills
trees.
Other pine beetle infestations
are up the Flathead's North Fork
near the mouth of Whale creek,
and in the Granite creek section
of the Middle Fork. Lodgepole is
being attacked.
The problem is not as serious
as the spruce bark beetle, nor
threatens to be.

sockeyes Find Dam
Provides Barrier

HUNGRY HORSE-Sockeye sal
mon in their annual fall migration
I'D the Flathead rivers South Fork
are finding a concrete barrier In
Hungry Horse Dam.
A few salmon are being observ-
ed jumping about two feet into the
spiilway outlet, and then swim
ming into the spillway tunnel.
However it's a short journey be-
fore the tunnel turns abruptly up
ward.
1t is believed that salmon above
the dam will develop new spawn
ing habits, and that the 34-mile
long lake and tributary streams
will see the whole life cycle. A
number of salmon spend their en-
tire lives from Matching to spawn
ing in nearby Lake Mcdonald in

Discuss Addition To
Falls Grade School

Members of district 6 school
board tentatively decided to pro-
ceed with enlargement of Colum-
bia Falls grade school with the
new $130,2O7 federal grant.
This is the only proposed school
project that has approval of the
u. S. Office of Education.
Word of the $13O,2O7 grant was
received Sept. % from Senator
Mike Mansfield. Originally the
district was to receive $640,000
under public law 815 to replace
the old Talbot building, its annex,
and the dormitory all used as Col
umbia Falls grade school.
The district actually received
1926, 400 for building purposes, and
spent an additional $34,061 to er-
ect the new Columbia Falls grade
school that houses half the 658-
grade school students.
Plan now is to build six addi-
tional classrooms as an added wing
running to the west on the new
grade school, and contract for tear
ing down the annex, considered
the most unsatisfactory portion of
the old school. 1t was felt tearing
down the annex would not be an
expense through salvage OF ma
terialS.
Supt. Dulane Fulton was author
lied by the board to attend meet
ing in Helena at the state super
intendent's office regarding fed
eral grants also received in less
amount by Roman and Chester.
Public law 815 provides federal
funds for districts that have feder-
al impact. In the case of district 6
it was Hungry Horse Dam, and
the federal survey showed Colum-
bia Falls having the most made
quate school. Result was the grant
for new building.
Federal grants cannot be used
for land purchase.
The board discussed the propos-
ed new school and teacherage for
Essex for which it has available
funds through the regular mill
levy. No bond issue is required.
Lowest land price available at a
suitable Essex site is $500 for a
100 by $50 foot lot. State regula-
tions require about three times
this amount of land for a school.
Result is the board is finding that
$1,000 won't buy enough land for
a one-room school in Essex.
The board decided to meet with
Martin City parents concerning %
sixth graders and II fifth graders
in Principal Durward Bollinger'
room. Some method of reducing
the overcrowded condition is the
objective.
A delegation of North Forkers
Crystal Creek drainage) met with
the board requesting school bus
for 10 students who live beyond
three miles. The group were ad-
vised to submit "a new request at
the time the budget is prepared
in June and July. Presently fam
lilies receive individual transpor-
tation. Transportation costs are
shared by the state, county and
district with routes established IN
summer and approved or disap-
proved by the county transporta-
ton board. Meeting with the
board were Cliff Sedivy, Mrs. Van
Garlough, Mrs. Ed Treadway and
Ted Mann.
Members of the board are Chair
man Otto Fehlberg, Coram; Her
man Byrd, Martin City; Con Lund-

Periodically, the question has
been raised in Washington cir
cles: "Who is advising the Pres
ident on labor matters?" It
should be the Secretary of La
Dor, and President Eisenhower,
in response to a press conference
question on December 16, said
Secretary Mitchell is his chief
adviser in these matters.
But that is not expected TO
settle the matter. Labor leaders
will continue to ask whether the
Labor Department, the Com
merce Department, or who, is
shaping the Administrations La
Dor policy. Martin Durkin, Pres
ident Eisenhower's first Secre-
tary of Labor, is supposed to
have resigned because this issue
was not settled to his satisfac-
ton. Now, If it can be made to
appear that the President has
''repudiated" Secretary Mitchell,
it will really be something.
Revision of the Taft-Hartley
law will be proposed to the 84th
Congress, and the "Right-to-
Work" laws and the AdminiStra-
tion's labor policy will be very
much before the public.

A Day OF Prayer
For The Modern Martyrs

The Bishops Of the United States have again
appealed to the thirty million Catholics under their
jurisdiction to unite in prayer for the millions OF
their brethren suffering martyrdom at the hands
Of a ruthless and. diabolical enemy. Sunday Decem
Der 26, is the day set for this nationwide remem-
brance in prayer. 1t is fitting that it Genes within
the octave of Christmas serving as gift to console
those who suffer, reminding them that they are
not forgotten by their brethren who still free
10 practice their religion.
An important word to stress in this observance
is unity. For it is not only imprisonment torture
and death endured by these modern martyrs but
also the tragic picture of millions Of the young
torn from their parents, educated In hatred and
atheism, and thus separated from the spiritual
unity of the Church. that brings nconsoable agony
to the heart of every good Catholic This agony Is
increased by the realization of heplessness IN
this situation - helpless, that is except for our
greatest weapon prayer.
And that is what this coming Sunday is for. IT
is to be used entirely for prayer to all mercifui
God TO those souls from the loss Of their only
precious heritage, their Faith.
Indeed the constant terror of living the denial
Of fundamental freedom poverty and starvation,
along with actual physical torture and death cannot
take eternal salvation from the grasp of todays
modern martyrs more than Nero or Dioclestian
could rob the early Christians Of this same price
less lewel OF course will offer earnest prayers
that Almighty God will touch and tighten our broth
in the Faith they suffer for His sake We VIII
he most of all concerned about praying that none
OF tortured brethren will snccumb to the temp
tation 10 give up their Faith. Above all, we will
unite to our souls with the strong bonds of love
and prayer all those little ones who are
being torn from this union with in the most
diabolica persecution known
This is, in way, mission project OF very
particular kind Good Catholics love the missions
because they want others to come to know Christ
and save their souls; they want others to be mem
hers OF The Church Militant which is part Of the
Mystical Body OF Christ But here are souls already
enjoying this union with Christ They are already
psrt Of parcel Of that Mystical Body How can they
be severed from il without the rest of the Body
being hurt being concerned being panied? no
lover OF Christ will be other than deeply angushed
to see millions of helpless souls torn from that
union with Christ
Next Sunday is to be day OF prayer-the whole
day But ii should be only beginning. The whole
wear should be one Of constant and thronghtul
PRAYER for those who suffer under the heel Of the
worlds ruthless tyrant, atheistie communism.
