Parking Solution

Great Falls has parking problems just as does
nearly every other city.
Instead of conventional parallel parking, Great
Falls last week on Second Avenue North started
having park bumper to bumper in pairs.
Walking down the street, sees two cars
bumper to bumper and then wider open space
than formerly, and then two more cars.
Through this system driver of car has ap-
proximately 3S feet in which to maneuver to the
curb instead of approximately % feet according to
the Great Falls Tribune account.
The Tribune story continues: when leaving the
curb, the front car will have ample space to pull
ahead into the flow of traffic"
There is considerably less maneuvering to fit
the into the parking space and as result less
interference with traffic
Calgary and Bozeman are among cities that
have adopted bumper-to bumper parking making
it easier for to park and still providing more
space for traffic than does angle parking.
Columbia Falls is divided on the question of
parallel versus angle parking, and possibly bumper
to-bumper parking is the solution here MR.

to the regular Congressional $25OOOO appropriation.
Obviously the purchasing of privately owned lands
within the parks will be speeded. Yellowstone es-
tablished in 1872 is entirely federally owned. Gla-
cier established in 1910 has 1000 acres of its 1OOO
600 acres privately owned, and there is even more
in Rocky Mountain National Park. Good prices have
been paid for private tracts
Generally the park service picture looks better.
However we've not observed any improvement in
the morale of the service. Housing is poor. Costs of
living have increased but not wages. Incentive also
appears down.
IT is unfortunate that Mr. Lewis in Kalispell
was not asked how come the National Park Service
is sticking local residents with $4 charge to see
Glacier. Persons less than two-week holiday in
the park pay 81. Before the present administration,
only ST was charged every car, and was likely too
little.
However result of the 81 charge is that many
Flathead families that enjoyed occasional Sunday
afternoon ride in the park during the summer just
didn't go to Glacier this summer. MRl

School Makes Apear News
by Apqar school

APGAR - School again. There
were Is pupils started at Apgar
school Wednesday morning. A big
day, very important day for our
three impatient first graders;
Mickie Washburn, a very blond
4112 inch tall, five year old, who
just made school this year by hav-
ing a birthday Oct. 3; cute little
Dorothy Montgomery, and blond
Charles Boies, better known as
Butch.
Then we have two newcomers,
both in the fifth grade; Susan
Bengston, who moved here from
East Glacier, and Flora Brown
back, who comes from Hungry
Horse.
The Bengstons have four chill
dren. Writes Susan "I have a little
sister named Karen. She is 13
months old. We think she is cute.
FOUR GRADES
We have four grades, so we put
our seats in four rows. Three for
1HSL graders, 1Our Tor tnlrd grad
ers; three for fourth grade and
five for our fifth grade.
There was one unenrolled pupil
the first day of school. While the
girls were twirling in the front of
the room, third grader Gloria, no
ticed a bear out in our school
yard. By comparison with great
big bears he was cute and not too
large and we would have liked to
have given him handout, but we
remembered the park slogan about
feeding the bears, so we didn't.
We had a lot of fun watching
him as he nosed about looking
for berries. When he went away,
we had a science lesson on bears
and other animals that hibernate.

TELL BEAR STORIES

Mrs. Harrington read us little
bear story 1.-TWO Little Bears" that
had wonderful bear pictures, then
we used Tommy's tape recorder
and each told a bear story. We
thought the first graders did very
well and none of the stories were
too bad. We used the tape recorder
for reading also and then evaluat-
ed our work.
We had several reports on the
bears this time. Mr.. and Mrs. j.
and Flora who are
their home in Apgar, told
how the bear knocked down their
fruit jars and their garbage can.
Mrs. c. Bengston wrote that they
have frequent visits during the
night from mother bear and two
cubs. The Mackins also told of the

Mrs. Horace Brewster spent
several nights with Mrs. Fred Lar

Mrs. Gordon said there was a
bear shifting around her back door
the other day. Charles Boies and
Mike Baumann, who are doing
carpenter work for the govern
ment on the house next door were
watching with interest and spec
ulatlng on what Mrs. Gordon'S re-
action would be if she opened the
door to find the bear standing
there. Mrs. Gordon wonders too.
Charlene Boies went to Port
land for six weeks to care for her
sister, who is quite i'll. The Boies
family will certainly miss her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burton K. Wheel
er were luncheon guests at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jean Sulli-
van.
Mrs. Price and Rae Marie took
good care of our dollar sized tur-
tie, Rosey Posey and our four gold
fish. Thank you. We have a new
turtle, Pokey, given us by Mr..
Barnum, Columbia Falls. He is
huge compared to Rosey Posey, be-
ing four or five inches across. We
take turns taking him out in the
grass and letting him run around. !
We have to watch out for all the
dogs and are thinking of changing
his name because we don't think |
there is anything Pokey about him.
He can certainly take off. So far
he hasn't bitten anyone. He eats
raw meat.
Little first grader, five year old,
Mlckle Washburn has the right
system. We were surprised the
first day to look over toward the
blackboard where we had sent the
first grade and see Mickie sitting

FLATHEAD
Pcet'A Connen
THE TIMBER BEAST

There's a character known from
west to east,
In the lumberman's language he's
called a timber beast.
Some people can tell him by
watching him walk,
And others identify him by listen
ing to his talk.
His staged pants, wool shirt and
calked boots give him away,
As we'll as the words drive, peavy
and jammer you hear him say.
He spends most of his time away
back in the woods,
And what ever he hires out for
he's got to deliver the goods.
He may be a bucker, a swamper,
or river pig
Or maybe a whistle punk on a
donkey rig.
You will find them from Maine
TO the western coast.
Working on the job that they like
the most.

To-day my daughter, who is sew

Her cocker spaniel, whose name is

folly of education as she waved
goodbye and started off to the
hall of learning.
Tonight we talked about school.

within a circle. Larger tubes
have pictures at a similar ratio.
With the introduction of rec
tangular- shaped tubes. plan to
give the picture size in square
inches was adopted as more
accurate measurement. How
ever. the original system seems
to have become the more ac-
copied one. It also represents
the pictures approximate corner
to corner diagonal measurement.
A similar situation exists now
that color TV has gone on the
market in a few areas. Sets
advertised as 15-inchers do not
have pictures that size. The di-
mension is a little less than
1872 inches.
This is due to the makeup of
the tube. The tube itself is Is
inches. but because of the space
required for extra elements the
picture area is reduced to under
1919 inches.
When larger color tubes are
available, engineers say, this
condition will be overcome and
the picture dimensions will be
closer to the specified tube size.

at the polls?
These are the questions
which voters viii be asking
themselves, especially those
who do not believe in con-
fiscation of their savings
through radical policies Of
taxation and Government
spending. Businessmen abroad
as well as in the United States
are watching to see whether
America, after skillfully and
effectively hating the un-
sound imitation of wartime,
turns leftward once more.
The American people are for
the most part conservative
liberals and not radical lib
erals. The electorate which
owns so many homes and has
billions Of savings doesn't
seem to know yet how a
triumph for the radical liberals
in the election next week can
destroy the confidence of
American businessmen so that
they can no longer plan with
certainty.
Will the Nation have to 60

and dissension before the
forward movement of economic
progress can be resumed, II
1t ever is? The coming elec-
ton has in it many delicate
issues Of this kind which
hardly justify voters in being
Indifferent to the consequences
Of staying at home on elec-
ton day.
There are. to be sure. reports
from correspondents and po-
litical analysts generally who
seem to feel that the country
is going to do the incredible
thing-actually turn out Of
power in Congress a party
which has made an outstand-
ing record in the transition
from a wartime to a peacetime
economy.
Where are the facts, it may
be asked, on which the pre-
