Growing Neighbor

For mutual benefit, the United States should
stop thinking of Canada the poor country cousin.
Larger population and earlier industrial de-
velopments put the United States into the fore
front as world power. Canada even larger in area
and smaller in population is developing at later
date.
Result is that present years see the land to the
north move ahead with resources of aluminium
and oil production, high grade iron plus rapid
industrialization and earlier resources of timber
cattle and grain. In addition Canada has been faV-
ored by good government.
To start possibly within the year is the st.
Lawrence seaway that would give seaport status
to cities on the Great Lakes. Canada has wanted
the waterway and the United States, with railroads
and coast areas leading the fight, opposed the de-
velopment through the years. Finally Canada was
prepared and able to finance the waterway itself.
This spring found the United States Congress fin
ally committed to the project. Canada is not par
ticuarly pleased The Canadians feel that they can
at this late date achieve the ST. Lawrence channel
into the Great Lakes by themselves.
Here in Montana there is controversy with
Canada the proposed Libby DAM part OF the
reservoir would extend into Canada, and Canadian
terms for such flooding have included sizeable
block of power produced. Canadas price seemed
too high, especially in view of the Kootenai river
flowing back into Canada, where control of the
stream at Libby would aid Canadian Hood control
and power plants.
Just east of the continental divide there is the
conflict over Waterton, st. Mary and other streams
that flow north into Canada. Montanans feel that
larger part of the water that flows from Glacier in
to Canada should be allowed to come back through
such streams as the Milk river to benefit Mon
tanans There is little sign of agreement.
Over in Washington, the city of Seattle has
Ross Dam. We understand that the reservoir can
can be filled only to within six feet of the top.
Using the reservoirs full capacity would flood some
upcountry meadow just across the border in British
Columbia
There are also problems of cities in the United
States looking toward vast fields of natural gas in
Canada. The people to the north are making sure
that the Canadian resource develops Canada first.
What citizens of the States must realize is that
Canada has become flourishing nation, conscious

ors, Mrs. Dick Struble of Kalispell
and Mrs. Fred Fisher. No new
business was brought up so the
members spent the afternoon
working on their own projects /.
some crocheted, some patched,
some visited. Reba had no unfin-
ished work for the ladies to help
at except the new garage that
Louie is building and the club
thought that was bit out of their
line. At 4 a delicious lunch of des-
serts was served by Reba and as
usual everyone ate too much but
it sure was good. Next meeting
will be at the home of Minnie
Howell.
Grandpa Mitsch, who has been

THE LITTLE scHOOLHoUSE
There is a little school house
Standing back among the trees
Children's merry voices
Come floating on the breeze.
There are games upon the play
ground,
But study is the rule
When recess is over
And they file into the school.
1t has stood here many years,
Full three decades or more.
And many were the little feet
That pattered DER the floor.
It's a temple true of learning,
Though very plain and small,
For the school that gives the child
his start
Is the greatest school Of all.
Where is this little school house
That neighbors hold so dear?
And the boys and girls, though
scattered now
Were the pupils of yesteryear?
It stands here by Mcdonald
Where tourists near and far
Vacation on this lovely lake
In the village of our Apgar.

dealer to obtain lumber most
resistant to decay, or to obtain
treated posts.
Rails are usually placed 6
to s inches apart, but where
snow drifts are common, it is
well to place the rails 10 to
IL inches apart.
Hinged gates are provided at
frequently-used openings. A
simpler entry for little-used
areas is made by setting double
posts so that bars of 1 by g.
inch lumber may slide out
when access is wanted. A num-
Der of sliding-bar openings
may be made for the cost of
one gate.
Needed tools are few-a
digger; hammer and
nails, handsaw and a carpen-
ter's level for plumbing the
posts and leveling the rails.

The post and rail fence has

Rails may be left unpainted. or
they may be painted or white

purchase rails from the local
lumber yard. The farmer

SUBSTITUTE TEACHER
Mrs. Fladmark substituted for
Mrs. Harrington last Friday. We
tried to plan a program that would
be pleasant experience because
it was the first substitute in the
last four years and the first sub
stitute for most of the regulars at
Apgar school.
The children all enjoyed the day
with Mrs. Fladmark. Others of the
school children helped but Donna,
Darlene and Elaine went around
Monday to get most of the news
so we are sending in the news
again.
We didn't want to waste Grand
ma Brewster's bear story either.
Grandma Brewster is a tiny per-
son and seemingly no match for a
bear. You never can tell, can you?
The little squirrel that lives in
Gilbert's tree sneaked in the house
and ran round and round the room
with pre-school Mickie squealing

26O Haitians Die In Landslide

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, R- An estimated 260 persons were reported buried in a tremendous landslide that thundered down Tuesday on the remote mountain village of Berly, 20 miles south of here.
 Capt. P. Burchett, head of the Inter- American Geodetic Survey, brought back word of the disaster Friday after landing at the site of the buried village in helicop- ter.
 He said the estimate of fatali- ties was based on reports by local police. They said the only survi- vors were a child who fled ahead of the rumbling earth slide and a woman who was visiting out of town.
 A Red Cross party which hiked to the scene said only six houses still stood on Berly's outskirts. The rescue party had to travel 35 hours through mountains to reach the village.
 The landslide presumably re- suited from floods in the wake of Hurricane Hazel.

US. CAY With 21 Airmen Vanishes On Flight From Rome to Lyon

PARIS, R-A US. Air Force CAY carrying 21 airmen has van ished on a flight through stormy weather from Rome to Lyon, France, and-even as the search for it was under way-an uniden- tified plane was reported to have fallen into the Mediterranean off Corsica today.
 A workman in Morsiglia, on the west coast of the French island, said he saw the tWo-engine plane fly at low altitude and crash in the Wind-lashed water a mile and a half offshore shortly after noon.
 A few minutes later, the French News Agency reported wreckage of that plane had been spotted by US. and French pilots searching for the CAY, missing since pm. Sunday.
 Meanwhile U. S., French and Italian planes and he1icopters still circled over the Mediter- ranean between Corsica and the French coast and over the French Alps seeking the CAY, which was based at Mansion, England.
 In the Alps, the search center ed over Mt. Mounier, north of Nice. The throbbing of plane en- zines and big explosion were heard in two villages at the foot of the mountain last night.

Indians to Get
 Hearing on Claims In Oil-Rich Area

ANCHORAGE, R-A public hearing on Indian claims to land in the Icy Bay area of Cook Inlet has been ordered held in Anchor age starting Nov. 20.
 The hearing was ordered by Ed ward Woozley, director of the Bureau of Land Management in Washington, DC. It is the first official step toward settling the question of native rights to poten- tial oil lands in Alaska, according to Lowell Puckett, area admins trator for the bureau.
 Woozley's order was issued after Yakutat area natives pro- tested issuance of oil leases on 13,560 acres of land in the Icy Bay region. The protests were re- jected earlier this year by Virgil Seiser, Land Office manager.
 Seiser ruled there had been in- sufficient showing of actual occu- pancy and possession by the h. dians and that the extent of rights of the natives had not been de- fined by Congress.
 Woozley said, in ordering the hearings, that no final determina- tion could be made by Washing ton officials until all facts have been presented to the Interior De- partment in public hearings.

 As a representative of the Nome Ministerial Asso- citation, the pastor attended the last City Council meeting The only other citizens present besides the Council members the Chief of Police and his wife.
 It quite deplorable that other citizens of this community not sufficiently concerned about good city government to attend the Council meetings Why shouldn't every civic organization have repre- sentative present? And why shouldn't many citizens at least attend occasionally?
