Park Condemninq
Lend Neur Bubb

WEST GLACIER-For the frs
time in its history, Glacier Nation
al Park is taking condemnation
proceedings to acquire privately
owned land within park borders
Property in question is 10C
acres on Sherburne lake on the
parks east side owned by the Cas-
cadia Development and Produc-
ton Co. of Minnesota. The title
dates back before 1910 when Gla-
cier became national park, and
was in the nature of a mining
claim. The land has not been in
use.
Twelve acres of the tract is
needed for right-of-way for the
new Babb to Many Glacier high
way, and about 46 acres of the
land is flooded part of the time
by Sherburne lake.
Condemnation proceedings are
being handled through the U. S.
District Attorneys office at Great
Falls. A neutral appraiser set a
value of 5000 for the land.
The park has the right of con-
demnation especially where the
public interest is directly in
volved.
There are about 1000 acres of
owned land included in
Glaciers 100000 acre area.
Other condemnation proceedings
are not planned.

DAY OF OPPORTUNITY
DAWNlNo

To those college graduates and
all young men and women in the
world today. who are setting out
to earn a living, We would like
to refute the many claims that
the day Of opportunity is past.
1t is frequently heard that the
current high tax structure in this
country. and in most countries
discourages initiative and drive
and that the day of individual
fortunes Is past.
All the facts and figures avail
able refute this as complete non
sense. In almost every commun
ity in thils great country there
are wealthy business men who
have made every penny of their
fortunes since World War II.
The nation is growing in popu
lation by 100000 a year. the
long.term trend IS toward q high
or and higher standard of living
and free enterprise system Is still
respected and protected In these
United States.

MEMORIAL DAY SLAUGHTER

So much is written on traffic
safety. highway safety. careful
driving. and the like. that it is
hard to figure out new
approach to bring up the subject
Of safe driving. The recent car
mage on the highways on Memo
orial Day weekend, however
gives US perfect opening.
More than three hundred and
fifty Americans were smashed to
death Oh that weekend in auto.
mobile crashes! That was a new
record. Such careless destruction
of life is the reason foreigners
gasp when told the annual toll
on American highways almost a
hundred lifeless. crushed bodies
a day!
If that sounds impressive, con.
slider the far greater number Of
victims who survive minus an
eye. or both eyes. or minus legs
or arms or mobility. etc. For
every one of the hundred a day
killed. several hundred suffer
broken backs. lifetime scars.
broken necks. limb amputations.
and the like.
Those of US who like to think
of the United States as the most
highly civilized nation. find it
difficult to reconcile this slaugh.
ter on the public roads with the
theory that we are a nation of
intelligent. civilized people. In no
other country in the world is
such death toll counted on the
public roads.
Imagine the wives who waited
in vain for husbands to return
from fishing trips that Memorial
Day Observation-Disclosures who
never came back. Imagine the
children who were left without
fathers. and mothers. as a result,
of the careless deaths. And how
many young couples were killed
or one of them killed. on holiday
trips?

That is all any ambitious, and
talented young person needs to.
day. While it is true that taxes
will take a greater proportion of
income than they took twenty or
thirty years ago, 1t is also true
that there are many advantages
for the youth of today which
were not enjoyed by the genera.
ton which preceded him..
For one thing. there is a larger
national market. For another.
the standard of living is higher
and wages and salaries are
higher. For another. there is
better transportation. communi.
cation and inumerablc scientific
advances whic. can be taken ad.
vantage of in industrial fields.
In addition to these advan.
tages, we believe that the dawn
of the worlds most adventurous
era is now arriving. Far more
thralling than the discovery Of
America will be the first trip to
the moon. or Mars. or a nearby
planet. During the lifetime Of
many of this cOuntry's present
youth this trip will probably be
successfully completed.
As the heavens reveal their
secrets and as outer space is con.
quered. the age of real adventure
will only be beginning. There
fore. far from being pessimistic
a bout opportunities afforded
youth today. We believe the
young people of today have the
brightest future of any gener'
alton yet spawned in this
country. From the economic
standpoint. they also enjoy many
safeguards which their fathers
did not enjoy and for which they
paid heavily in periods of de-
preston.
