Teachers Plight of
Their Own Making
Dear Editor and Readers:

Dear Editor and Readers:
1t has been some time since you have
heard from me, and for that, some may
say Amen
Another year of teaching will soon
make me a veteran in a profession that
some good union men say they wouldn t
be caught dead in. If | live to the end
of the year, I will be able to say the
same since it appears all too evident
that the men and women now in it are
real happy with company union"
that has let the wages lapse to a pre-
1889 purchasing power level. But that
isn't enough. You hear the NEA MEM
bers speak of 80 pupil class rooms all
too often and complacently nowadays
to expect a return to lesser number
State courses of study require more
subjects and subject matter as time
turns the clock, teacher load increases,
while teacher considerations get worse
in comparison to organized ditch
diggers.
Whose fault is it? 1t is our fault, the
teachers I have not heard of dentists
or small businessmen fighting the
unions battles. and I don't expect any
of them to fight the teachers battles.
Since it appears in the eyes of some
that Striking does not befit the dignity
of the profession" our recourse is to
pleading and sound argument. [ have
heard that song before, but for down
right results a strike tops them all to
date There is one aw-back-It takes
courage to stand up and fight for your
rights Who will join me in an attempt
to organize a union of John l.. Lewis
Teachers?
We have many things to fight for
above and beyond personal goals, how
ever, hungry men think first of food
so that the fight may be carried on
for improving working conditions, and
childrens' training.
If you don't think | am right, ask
yourself why it is that more people
are leaving the profession each year
than are entering it.-KEITH B. HAM
ILTON, Seeley Lake, Montana.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Billings,
Have just been reading the Peoples
Voice" and can't begin to tell you how
much / appreciate your articles on
the oil question. 1t is satisfying to know
that there is, at least, one paper iii
our state that is backing our Atty. Gen.
and State Supt. of School on the stand
they have taken. You are putting the
question clearly before your readers
and they should feel eternally grateful
to both Olsen and Condor for their in
testinal stamina to fight the big mon
eyed oil interests in behalf of the in
terest of our state.
Your last article, Mrs. B.. surely
shows up the inconsistency of the Gov
Hope you keep up the good fight and
don't let our voters forget the fight

Best wishes to you both. Sincerely

Montana's WiIdlife

Necessity is the plea for every in
fringement of human liberties; it is
the plea of tyrants and the creed of
slaves. 1t is not the intent of this writ
er to set forth existing conditions in
Yellowstone Park.
Starting in early 20's I was for num-
Der of years an employee of Montana
Fish and Game Department, and rode
the Gardiner range where elk wintered.

ments as to elk in that area they will

For years we have heard their cry
starving elk" Could not produce the
elk, so now depleted winter range"
In 1885, elk will be slaughtered in
Yellowstone Park (SANCTUARY) by
learned Park rangers" The Park has
no man-made boundaries that would
prohibit the elk from free movement
out of the Park as they desired.
In view of the elk and deer seasons

them extending until February %, 1856

that Yellowstone elk are remaining

Co-operation-A New
Way of Life

A new way of life is being developed
in this, our twentieth century. 1t is the
cooperative way. Each for all, and
all for each"
over six hundred million Cinnamon
are cooperating to build up their
country and industria1ize it. The power
of falling water is to be a national
asset. They are developing their oil
resources for the use of all and not for
the profit for a few. Atomic energy
is to be used to raise the living stand
ards for all.
This cooperative way is efficient
because it does away with the COM
petitive struggle between individuals
and classes
1t makes for peace. instead of con-
flict. Contrast this with our traditional
competitive system where man has COM
peted with man, and nation has fought
nation.
Formerly, wars were fought to enslave
peoples. After that, they were fought
to grab their land and possessions. Our
recent wars have been fought for the
purpose of grabbing the power, to ex-
plot the cheap labor and natural re-
sources of weak and backward peoples
The British are exploiting the rubber
and tin of Malaga. They are also ex
plotting the cheap labor and lands of
Kenya.
The French are exploiting the lands
and mines of North Africa.
Americans are exploiting the oil re-
sources of Iran, Arabia, and Venezuela.
The people of these countries live in
abject poverty and ignorance, while
their labor and natural resources yield
handsome profits to the exploiting COM
panies.
These conditions make for wars and
civil wars. Arnold Toynbee, the his
torian, has said that war and class
conflict have been the causes that led
to the downfall of all former ciyiliza-
tions.
In brief, these are the two systems
that are contending for the minds and
loyalty of men. 1t is our business to
understand them. We must understand
what they have to offer and how they
are working.
Albert Schweitzer has recently said
that if our civilization is to endure
we must substitute understanding and
the truth for propaganda.
The Creator has endowed the human
race with brains. We have now reached
the time when they will have to be
used.-JOHN McGUFFY Roman, Mont.

vania to make the gift. Said Raber:
II intellectually concur in an
expression of best wishes to President
Eisenhower. But it is an ironic, tragic,
and cynical gesture to be giving an
expensive gift, bought with farmers
money, to the head of an administra-
ton that has allowed farmers income
to drop 379o since 1852.
"Mr. Eisenhower, | am sure, did
not accept the tractor for personal
gain. But | feel strongly that the
money would have been better spent
in trying to do something to stop the
drop in farm prices, which are now
at 1920 of parity, the lowest point
in most farmers memories"
In Washington, Senator Metthew
M. Nicely (D-W.Va.) referred to the
gift. At subcommittee hearing, Dee.
1, Nicely said he recalled testimony
that nobody in public life should take
gift worth more than the price of
a ham.

Grow nation in a broadcast over station
KGHL at Billings on Nov. 25, 1855, had
something to say on the subject He
said in substance that the Crow nation
was in possession of their lands before
the DAYS of Christopher Columbus, have
never relinquished jurisdiction over
them and do not intend to do so with
out compensation satisfactory to them;
that the u. S. government has no more
right to seize their lands for power site
purposes than it does to seize lands in
Canada for the Libby Dam reservoir.
He cites in support of his stand, the
Declaration of Indian Policy by Pres
George Washington in 1887, and the
decision by u. S. Supreme Court Justice
Marshall in 1882, both in almost ident1-
cal words, to the effect that The ut
most good faith shall always be OBJ
served toward the Indians: their lands
and property shall never be invaded
taken from them WITHOUT THEIR
CONSENTv That is the law of the land
and has been ever since the birth OF
the Republic The sovereignty of the
Crow nation is without question and
Congress does not have the slightest
right to invade their possessions.
Mr.. Yellowtail also AYERS that the
Crow nation will resist by every legal
means in their power including injunc-
ton proceedings, any invasion OF their
territory or condemnation action. Court
action and delay in starting construc-
tion might be dragged out for years.
Continued negotiations by the Bureau
of Reclamation would seem to be indi-
Gated the same as in Labor and Man
agement negotiations. Going into sulk
solves no problems. The Crows have
offered to accept the equivalent of
about 20% of the gross power revenues
General Olsen holds that
royalty of 1919 on state oil lands is
fair and equitable, although they exact
about rs % on state agricultural lands.
An offer by the Bureau of Exclamation
of 1919 of gross power revenues
would have an excellent chance of be-
ing accepted.-E. J. PARKINSON, Great
Falls.

Coonskin Indian Fighters
March Again

About so years ago Gen. George a.
Custer, without provocation, attacked
the Sioux Indians who were peacefully
camped with their squaws and papooses
on the Little Big Horn River. He and
his entire command was wiped out
and obliterated. The same fate awaits
our present day Indian fighters, Sena-
tors Murray, Mansfield, and Rep. Lee
Metcalf in their attack on the Crow
Indians in an effort to deprive them
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT of their
last most valuable asset, the Yellowta1l
damsite and Big Horn Canyon. Their
idea seems to be that Might Makes
Right and are urging that construc-
ton be initiated at once by the govern
ment, and that the amount and time
of compensation to the Crow Indian
nation be made at some future date,
entirely at the judgment and convent
ence of the government.

Sox Hitting Ruins
of Pitchers


The fault must lay in tn,
sox scouting system, and thi
is where Cronin must star
biting his lips and make hur'
ried changes.
There isn't a team in
baseball, outside the SOx,
who have not com up
with some natural, hard
hitting rockies the past
two years.
Pittsburg is loaded with
them. The Giants found
Willie Mays. The Card
inaIs have Verdon and
Moon among others. Det-
roit has Harvey Kuenn
and Al Kaline and Tut
tie. The Athletics have
Vic Power and Finnegan.
It would take several
pages to list them all.
Two years ago they
were telling us to wait
until we saw Karl Olson,
Fay ThrOneberry, Milt
Boiling and Dick Brodow-
ski.
Now that we've seen them
they want US to wait until
we see Frank Baughman and
Marty Keough and Don Bud
din.
It's wait, wait, wait and
we doubt If even Yawkey
and cronin are going to wait
much longer.
You can blame the base
ball scribes for a lot of the
Sox woes. They built up such
a resentment against Lou
Boudreau that they had Joe
Cronin believing for awhile
that all the Red Sox needed
was a new manager.
In fact, this illusion reach
ed out to snare Mike Hig-
gins, himself. Boudreau, they
complained, was running the
rockies because he didn't
keep them at one position
long enough to get their
bearings.
When Higgins came in
for his first press con-
ference they practically
demaned that he make
himself clear on that
score. And Higgins fell
for it.
"The fans can rest as
sured of one thing, I
won't be shifting my line
up around every day.
When the season opens
I'll pick any best nine
men and go along with
them"
That's what the man
said. But have you stud
led those Sox Iine-ups re-
Gently.
One day Klaus was at
short, then at second, and
finally wound up at third.
He's played Olson Throne
berry, Mele and Stephens in
left field. He's had Piersall
md Olson and Mele and good
ness knows who else in cent
er, and Jensen and Mele and
Olson and goodness knows
who else in right.
One day in fact, he used
all his spare fielders as
pinch hitters and was forced
to shift Goodman to left
when Stephens got hurt.
So much, then, for Hig-
gins day-dreams that never
came true.
What the sox need is not
but ball players.
And right now they haven't
got them.
Worse still, the poor young
Sox pitchers are forced to put
pressure on every pitch.
There's no such a thing as
relaxing in the late innings.
The shock Of a big lead
might kill them. But this
worry they are not destined
to meet.
What the SOx need is
a scout or two who can
come up with a couple
of young and tough young
kids who can hit the ball
hard, whether they are
facing a left or right
handler throwing them
sharp curves.
Up to now, it's been
a honeymoon for the SOx
scouts. When the team
needed more hitting they
knew that Yawkey would
whip out his check book
and buy it.
But those days are over.
Yawkey wants his future
teams developed in his elabor-
ate farm system. And that's
the way Cronin wants 1t, too.
If the scouts can't produce.

Stoneware Has Become
Item For Collectors

Under title of ea.'ly Amer
lean pottery, somewhere has
oeccme a sought after collec-
tible by many collectors.
Such objects as pitchers,
sturdy jugs, pots and crooks
made attractive groups and
their simple decorations Of
fer much charm and quaint
ness not found on the finer
pieces Of chinaware or earth
enware.
Because Of the great var
iety of shapes, a collector has
a large field from which to
select his articles.
Stoneware made in the 18th
century is rather hard to find
today, but that of the 10Th
century is available in prac-
ically all forms for p5tteries
flourished along that period
in Massachusetts, as we'll as in
New York, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Virginia and Ohio.
1t apears that stoneware
potteries were established close
to navigable rivers so that
transportation was not too
costly.
Other potteries sold their
wares by means of peddlers
who were hired by the day
for this purpose. Colors of
somewhere generally range
from shades of gray and tan,
to deep browns.
All shades very however,
some being lighter or deeper
than others and the gIazes
are generally Of a dull ma
ture. The quaint designs
found on Stoneware help to
identify the makers to GER
tain degree.
For example, the Remmeys
of New York used the Swag
and pendant motif on their
products as well as the chain
loop, the leaf and seed. The
motifs found on the wares of
Warne and Let's of New Jer-
sey consisted of the holly leaf.
Incised lines formed these
early designs, generally filled
in with some cobalt blue.
The later designs were merely
scrolls and flowers, birds, fea-
theirs, foliage and trees paint
ed on in a rather rough man
ner. BOOSTERS and eagles are
often found painted on crooks
and jugs in varying shades Of
blue.
Indian heads and crudely
made profiles were also used
on stoneware produced by the
Remmeys during TIE early
part Of the 18th century.
On most of the stoneware
jugs, the capacity of the piece
appears as q nunera1
