have always been one OF the most versatile fruits.

carve the pumpkins hard shell into grinning

safe bet the orange harbinger of autumn comes
from a pumpkin patcn like the one owned and
worked by John Young on his truck farm near
Brookville, N. Y.
Appropriately enough, harvesting begins when
"the frost Is on the punkin" some time between
Halloween and Thanksgiving. During this busy

DISCOUNT OFFERED
CKRYSLER employees

The United Auto Workers-CIO
Chrysler department has been in
formed by Chrysler Corp, that all
employees will be able to purchase
all lines of Chrysler automobiles at
a substantial discount.
''We think that Chrysler's ac-
ceptance of the long-standing union
proposal that workers be permitted
to buy cars at discount is a pro-
gressive step on the part of man
agement. 1t will give workers
much better chance to buy the
products they build" Norman
Matthews, director of the JAW
Clio Chrysler department said.
"Chrysler Corp. is the first mem
Der of the automobile industry's

Some weeks back, following dis
closures by J. F. Reid, chairman of
the State Board of Equalization, that
there were alarming variations on
assessments throughout the states Sc
counties, Willard Fraser of Billings
wrote all county assessors as to what
they thought about the idea of an
elected State Assessor. Under Fraser's
proposal, county assessors would be
appointed and serve on a merit basis.
Fraser's original letter brought
number of interesting comments from
various assessors. Now, he has written
a second letter in support of his con-
tention that the people of the state
as whole should elect State Asses
sor. Here is Fraser's latest:

FRASER CONTINUES CAAIPAIGN FOR
ELECTED STATE ASSESSOR

valuation was around $7,000,00O.OO.
/ upped it to $13,800,0 100000. So L

to do it. The people of this County

I was reelected ;. If | can get in
another year from this April 18th I
can retire; so it does not make much
difference what they do"
There is our problem, and | am of
the opinion that one of the best ways
to solve it-or at least approach a
solution-would be by the election of
a State Assessor. | am not large
tax payer, but nevertheless, do pay
a substantial amount of taxes, and |
believe that those, who like myself
are paying their full share of taxes
would be greatly benefited by hav-
ing an equal method of assessment
used throughout the State, for if it
didn't actually reduce our taxes, it
would eliminate the necessity of any
tax raise during our life time.
Respectfully submitted,

may have, and would like to have YOU

for labor groups which have nego.
tiated considerably higher wage
scales.
E. F. English, Rail Brotherhoods,
told the committee that there were
lot of people only making so to
90 cents an hour in Montana in spite
of the extremely high cost of living.
Margaret Harrington, Butte, rep
resenting Hotel & Restaurant EN-

organized labor in Butte - hospital
employes-who receive only S4.31 a
day for eight hours labor. In laun-
dry and other fields wages go as low
as $3.50 day in Butte.
Austin Thompson, president, Cas-
cade County Trades & Labor, said
that as well organized as is Great
Falls, there are a number of people
working in laundries and in hotel and
restaurant work receiving less than
S1.OO an hour. He urged the COM
mittee to examine some of the wage
scales being paid in various towns
and cities of the state, asserting that
they would be shocked by what

Larry Mower, Great Falls Shelter

to the fact that many of

He also stated that some of these |

next month.
Director DR.. Harry Curtis accused
the Administration of "murdering"
IVA, and unequivocably stated that
''the reduced budget is inadequate to
meet the valleys needs" Director
DR.. Raymond Patty threw up his hands,
and declared that mo comment was
necessary"
IVA Chairman Gen. Herbert Vo-
gel, appointed by the president last
September, contradicted the major
ity. He said that the reduced budget
would have no harmful affect on
Twas operations, providing that
system of financing power expansion
could be worked out.
Rural electric leaders in the IVA
area contend that regardless of
whether revenue bond financing
plan is worked out for IVA, the fact
remains that $3.50 of Twas present
employees will be dismissed during the
next fiscal year.
IVA has not disclosed the amount
of appropriations that it requested
for fiscal 1856. However, it is re
liably reported to have been in the
of $75 million, or about
three times the $27,550,000 that the
presidents budget recommended.
Last year the budget requested
$3.50 million for IVA, which added
to approximately $38 million in carry
over funds provided slightly over
1858 million. This year there is only
! $14,259,000 carry-over, making a
,otal available of only SAL, 100000.

PRICE SUPPORT
PROGRAM
VOLUME is DOWN

Considerably less grain was being
placed under government loan anc
purchase agreement this winter than
year ago, according to summary
of price support activities released
by Leo S. Kolstad, State Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation ad-
ministrative officer.
The report shows that a total Of
$31, 026,571 in loans had been adj
vanced to farmers as of January Is.
As collateral for these loans, Montana
farmers had pledged 2O,072,1
bushels of 1854 crop-wheat, barley,
oats, rye and flaxseed and 63,250
cwt. of beans. By comparison, in
January 1854, the value of loans on
1953-crop commodities was nearly
$50 million.
Another significant change is that
this years report shows loans dis
bursed on 10,096,662 bushels of bar
ley compared with loans on 9,808,414
bushels of wheat, Normally wheat
loans and purchase agreements con-
stitute the bulk of the loan program
in Montana. The report shows barley
under loan valued at S10,267,4
while the value of wheat under loan
is nearly double at $20,079,668.
Several reasons apparently con-
tribute to the smaller loan program |
this year and the change in relation
ship of wheat and barley, Kolstad
pointed out. One is that the 1858 /
wheat crop exceeded I'D million
bushels while the 1854 crop was down
to 76 u million bushels. Another fac
tor, he said, is that Montana's high
quality wheat is in demand and re-
turning a premium to producers. The
switch in positions of barley and
wheat in volume is due, in part at
least, to the controls imposed on 1854
wheat acreage and resultant diver
sion to much larger acreage of bar
ley than normal for recent years.
In addition to the 1954-crop grain
under loan, 3,64O,028 bushels had
been placed under purchase agree ,
ment by January Is. Included were :
[ ,932,520 bushels of barley, 1,690,083 ]
bushels of wheat and small quantities t
If oats, flax and rye. /

rolume of commodities placed under t

TYPICAL WRONG VIEW
BY SECRETARY WEEKS

CHICAGO-(LDNS)-The DIX
on-Yates business" is a symptom
of struggle between capitalism
and socialism, according to Com
merce Secretary Sinclair Weeks.
Weeks, businessman-banker in
private life, told the Transporta-
ton Association of America that
the hassle over the contract shows
ambition by some people to have
the government do everything and
the belief on the part of others that
private enterprise ought to do the
job when it is available"
He ignored the fact that the
Dixon Yates contract will cost the
government between $92 million
and $40 million more for power
than it would cost IVA to produce
it.

was:
L. A $1.00 minimum wage would
put lots of businesses, such as laun-
dries out of business.
2. The bill was s'dictatorial' in that
it gave the Commissioner of Labor
sufficient powers to make the pro-
posed statute something more than
several pages of meaningless words.
3. Such law would foreclose teen
age boys and girls from getting jobs
since business couldn't afford to pay
them S1.O0 an hour. In turn, said
one employer spokesman, kids hard
pressed for cash would find them
selves working for marihuana ped
dlers.
R. D. Corette, repeatedly repre-
senting the ACM-MPCo. axis (who,
along with his brother J. E. Corette,
are among major operators of low
wage laundries in the state) was the
principal spokesman for the opposi-
ton to HB 1876. Corette built up a
ssbogey-man" over how business and
labor would suffer if this dictator
bill' were enacted. He made much
out of the fact that the bill had no
escape" clause for any employer
wishing to avoid paying at least
S1.00 an hour to his employees.
Carl Trauerman, of the small min
ng association, dittoed what Corette
mad to say.
Norman Blevins, representing the
hardware dealers, also dittoed Cor
stte, and exclaimed that HB 1915 was
he ''most extreme monopoly" pro-
,osal he had ever witnessed in this
tate.
C. ]. O'Connell, Livingston laun-
Try operator, contended that a mini
mum wage of $1.00 would complete

Rep. Gene Picotte, led off in sup
port of the bill before the commit
tee, and reviewed the various pro-
visions of the bill. In rebuttal Picotte
said there was nothing sacred about
HB 1876, that the important thing was
to get satisfactory minimum wage
Legislation on the books, and that he
innate objections the opposition
might feel they had to it. He charac-
terized opposition assertions that the
bill was "sdictatorial" as 'just in
fIamatory phrases" and then went
on to point out that these same peo-
pie have no objection to the Fair
Trades Act which tells them the
minimum prices they can sell their
products for.
James S. TIMBER, president of Mon
tana State Federation of Labor, re-
viewed the reasons why minimum
wage legislation is necessary to the
economy of Montana, citing examples
of wages currently being paid by
laundries and other businesses which
are far beneath what constitutes a
wage to maintain a minimum stand
ard of decency. TIMBER on rebuttal
told the committee that the opponents
were giving vent to a "lot of fright

WE MADE A MISTAKE IN
ITEM ABOUT RED CROSS

Hatteras did contribut e!
Through an editorial oversight in
this newspaper last week, it was
made to appear that the conrmu-
nifty of Hatteras did not contribute
to the last Red Cross roll call. To
the contrary, Hatteras always
contributes, yet it has been one
of the smallest claimants for aid
from the Red Cross since the or
ganization first came to aid Dare
County people following the storm
of March 1882.
The line that was left out of
the copy and missed by the proof
reader should have read that
neither Manns Harbor nor Stumpy
Point contributed as communities
during the last roll call. The en-
ror was entirely the oversight of
the editor, in editing the copy and
again in reading the proof. 1t was
not the mistake of any printer or
other employee. 1t burns us up to
get an error in print, but it will
happen, and we're sorry.
