CHANCE to go TO THE
DOGS, UMDER FINDS

News of the formation of the
Ancient Order of CANNES last week
has spread so rapidly the club is
having trouble supplying the de-
mands for membership cards, re-
ports James S. TIMBER, top dog

ACC was formed Immediately
after Defense Secretary Wilson
compared the five million unem-
ployed with less ambitious members
of the canine family, and as a re-
suit found himself in the national
dog house.
TIMBER, who doubles as president
of Montana State Federation of
Labor, told this paper yesterday
that requests for membership have
been coming in thick and fast, and
that he confidently expects an en-
rollment of 10000 paid-up MEM
bers within the 10 days remaining
before November 2.
Anyone is eligible for ACC mem
bership if CD he is unemployed;
Cd he is about to be unemployed.
Members can select for themselves
one of two degrees, depending on
which more closely fits their situa-
ton.
The Hunting Dog Degree" is
available to all who have travelled
100 miles with nose to ground in
search of employment.
The kennel Dog Degree" is
available for those Sitting on fam
ny, bowling mournfully."
Membership fee is one dog bis
cult which brings to the applicant
an attractive membership card
which says, ''Vote Nov. 2, Watch
the Kennel Dogs at the Polls" and
shows sad looking mutt approach
ing his policing place" Member
ship fees, says TIMBER, will be dis
tributed to pups of unemployed"
People wishing to join ACC may
send their membership fee to Um-
Der, CO Kennel Headquarters, Box

recognized as comic relief earlier in
the campaign" Rep. Lee Metcalf Cd
Mont said tonight.
"If such comedy didn't distract at
tention from important issues, it
would have entertainment value" he
said in a speech prepared for delivery
to rally audience.
Among examples, Metcalf listed a
statement by his opponent that five
national conservation organizations
cited Metcalf for distinguished service
to conservation month before he
introduced any conservation legisla-

Actually, Mr.. D'Ewart and Mr..
Ellsworth of Oregon and others kept
the conservationists so busy trying
to save the public lands and the ma
tional parks and forests that we didn't
have chance to get our positive pro-
gram under way" Metcalf said. "Let
us hope that we can get Democratic
Congress next year and put through
some affirmative legislation that will
advance the cause of conservation.
Meanwhile, an aide in Metcalf's
office said the earlier statement bV

tober % and 20, to allow their teach
ers and administrators to attend the
five district conventions of the Mon
tana Education Association to be held
in Billings, Great Falls, Helena, Mis-

The conventions will give Montana

current school issues and practices.
There will also be time allowed for
meetings of the special interest groups

methods among the participants.
In charge of preparations to handle

Determination by rank-and-file
miners and smelter workers to stick
the strike out until number of re-
vised provisions had been written
into the contract, along with some
improvements in wage and fringe
benefits, is considered a major factor
in the ACM finally abandoning it's

Under the new two-year contract
wages are increased only 2 cents an
hour across the board. Fringe bene-
fits total two and one-half cents per
