QUANTITY Conscious

Americans are certainly quantity conscious
people.
We judge the success of Glacier National Park
for example by the hundreds of thousands of visit
in season. We are ever looking forward to ira
vel records being broken.
1t is more difficult to measure a national park
through contentment and pleasure of the outing
When it comes to concrete DAMS we also meas
ure achievement with big numbers President Elsen-
hover dedicated McNary Dam Sept. 23 The Nc
Nary Dam dedication committee provided stream
of publicity releases.
We read them of course with the idea of how
McNary compared to Hungry Horse.
McNary's release started: eff the concrete re-
quired to construct McNary DAM, 800 cubic
yards-were loaded into fleet of trucks, each of
four yards capacity and the trucks placed so feet
apart, the caravan would extend from McNary Dam
to New York City and then down the Atlantic sea-
board to Jacksonville, Florida"
If we We're describing Hungry Horse, we could
have that concrete return to the West Coast
Hungry Horse has 100000 cubic yards compared
to McNarys 100000
Actually what counts is not the size of either
McNary or Hungry Horse, but the water storage and
electricity such installations can provide mankind.
Secretary of Interior Mckay released figures
to show that the Hungry Horse powerplant during
the fiscal year ending June 80 produced 685O23,78O
kilowatts, bringing cash income of $4300,259 for
these IL months.
It would seem that figures on kilowatt output
are good way to evaluate dams, and then think IN
terms of industrial jobs and home comforts that
this 685023, ,78O kilowatts of power Hungry Horse
helped create in its first complete fiscal year of op-
Grafton.
McNary of course will be an added giant IN this
respect gaining the advantages of upstream storage
from Hungry Horse Grand Coulee and other dams
on the Columbia and its tributaries.
These large power dams are methods of Amerl-
cans toward harnessing natural resources with the
result of jobs for more people. AS use OF re-
sources (for example-water power to make alu-
minum) is achieved, the whole national living
standard rises.
Then we wonder why the present national ad-
ministraton continues to drag its feet In getting ITS
first new major dam started They're still talking
about Libby. NIX

RoeschIuUb Finds
Lone Lost Son

HUNGRY HORSE. A. Roesch-
laub, an inspector, who has beer
with USBR for over 25 years, has
at last realized one of his fondest
hopes this past week.
When Mr.. RoeSchlaub was in
army service during World War
he lost trace of his son, Jesse A.
Roeschlaub Jr., then about one
year old. This past week he re-
ceived letter from JeSse's wife
informing him of the whereabouts
of his son and their family of
four children, who are living in the
Los Angeles, Calf, district. They
had happened upon a clue that
had led them to his present ad-
dress.
Monday, Mr.. Roeschlaub, Sr.,
received a letter from his son stat
ing that he is very anxious to see
and talk to his father. Mr.. Roes-
chlaub ST., says, mo one who has
not been separated from his child
for a long period of time can pos
sibly realize what this means to
him" Needless to say, Mr.. Roesch-
laub is now preparing for trip
to California to meet his son and
family as soon as his work will
permit him to leave, which we
hope is not too far in the future.

STATE INSTITUTIONS NEED
HELP
(Miles City Starr

Bond issues totaling $3,500,00
will be on the ballot for the voter
Nov. 2, that will not cost the vot
ers any increased taxes. At tn,
same time, passage of the tw'
issues, referenda 81 and SO, will bt
a tremendous aid to the state il
caring for mental patients at the
State Training school at Boulder
and the State Mental hospital a
Warm Springs.
A one-half mill levy has been ir
effect since 1916 (Ref. 50) and viii
be paid off by the time the levy
for the new referenda would be
put on the tax rolls. This means
that the tax would remain at the
same level as it is now.
That is the proposition coming
up on the Nov. 2 ballot in the
forms of referenda 81 and SO. One
calls for $1,500,000 bond issue for
the State Training school. The
other, So million for the State
Mental hospital. Both are very
essential.
Members from at least $500
Montana families are now housed
at these two institutions and cared
for with very limited facilities.
Many, many more Montana fami-
lies need the mental care of these
institutions at Warm Springs and
Boulder, but the care is unavail-
able until facilities are improved.
At the State Training school,
facilities are available for $50 pa
tients. In that space $50 patients
are crowded and there are 235
Montana children on the waiting
list to receive care. This number
was only 130 in 1850.
Actually, much of the institution
is an antiquated fire trap. A new
school unit is needed, as is en-
ployee housing. Other units need
or repair and remodel
ing to safeguard the health and
living conditions of the patients.
Upkeep and growth of the insti-
facilities have not kept |
pace. with the population growth.
We must provide adequate care for
our unfortunate children who need
lelp from the school.
The State Mental hospital at
Warm Springs is more crowded
han the Training School. 1000
disabled patients are
into dormitory space for
500. Half of the buildings are
inadequate and antiquated. Exten-
i've remodeling is necessary if we
ope to care for these patients.
Should the bond issue pass, the
3.5 million will be spent in the
est interests of those unfortunate
itizens who are mentally unbal-
need. We cannot ignore them any
niger. !

"My scheduled flight from CAL
cutta was the Cathay Pacific
plane that was shot down. After
barely missing being a part of that
incident, l decided l must live
right, but the ten thousand miles
plus of flying was too much for
me, and spent eight days in Hong
Kong recovering from an opera

French ship which proved to be
interesting since they spoke no
English, and my French is limited

RUSTY TREES BEAR
Mrs. Sunell tells us that the
Sunells had a little run-in with a
mother bear and her cub. They
pop up at the most unexpected
times. One morning, the mother
bear came just about school time
but she had only one cub with her.
Lynne's dog, Rusty, usually walks
Lynne to school. He ran the bears
up tree and then left for school
with Lynne. After Rusty left the
mother bear came down and found
something to eat, then wandered
off into the woods. 1t took the cub
about Is more minutes to get
courage to come down. He looked
all around for his mama and not
finding her, Whined almost like a
baby crying. Finally the mother
bear answered from the nearby
woods and the cub went scooting
off to join her.
One evening about 8 pm, when
Donna Brewster, Darlene and BeV-
erlie Mackin were riding across
the bridge at Apgar, they heard
