Pau Raise Merited

Of considerable consequence to the Flathead was
action by Congress and approval of the President in
creasing post office salaries average of per cent
Result is that wage increases indicated for the
other federal employees as we'll
The Flathead, largely as result of "a per cent
of its SLIT square miles being federaly owned has
unusually large number of federal employees In this
county of 1000 people there about 200
employees working for Glacier National Park Flathead
National Forest and Hungry Horse Dam and Power
plant. Each employs about 65 During summers the
park and forest service total each approaches 3OO
In addition there are the weather bureau, geolog
cal survey, internal and other offices plus the
post Offices of course.
Over 1000 of our "a 900 residents get their bread
and butter from federal payrolls
These are the folks among us who have really been
on low wages.
A college graduate starting as ranger in Glacier
National Park is paid $3410 year or $1.64 an hour
Most of the seasonal rangers and ranger naturalsts
are paid $1.46 hour.
We do not know of any group of our population that
is underpaid the federal employees in our midst
One of the things to be kept in mind is that the cost
of the national defense program is $404 billions year
with veterans benefits, grants to states and farm sup
ports adding up to another SLAB billion, and all other
costs of the federal government to $7.2 billion.
Economy or for that matter efficiency is moi
achieved by the federal paying less than
training for these same jobs.
The coming wage increases for federal employees
is well merited. MR

Train Travellers

There seems to be quite problem for vacationers
travelling by train to include Glacier National Park and
Banff and Jasper in Canada the same western out
ing.
At the National Editorial Association meeting held
at Banff last weekend Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Laschinger
of Giner, Texas commented that they had asked for
routing that would include Glacier and were told that
it was not practicable.
Visitors can arrive at Banff by Canadian Pacific
Railway and then take scenic busses up to Jasper
catch the Canadian National
Many visitors from the East who come to see Gla-
cier travelling by automobile also take in Banff in
Canada just few hours drive away.
1t is unfortunate that visitors who travel by train
apparently cannot work in similar pleasant outing

Farm Union Urges
Wheat Support

Wheat producers will vote, June
Is, in wheat marketing quota ref
erendum to decide whether there
will be high support price on wheat
in 1856.
Two thirds of the farmers voting
must vote for it to put the high sup
port into effect. The price is expect
ed to be set soon for between rs and
80 per cent of parity.
According to M. w. Thatcher, gen.
eral manager of Farmers Union
Grain terminal association, a no
vote would mean the support level
for wheat in 1856 would drop to 50
per cent of parity, or about $1.20 a
bushel. The higher support would
guarantee about $1.8O per bushel.
The lower support price would ap-
ply to growers who stayed within
their acreage allotment, Thatcher
pointed out. AS result many would
increase their acreage and sell their
grain at a free market price. The
association expressed the belief that
over-pr0duction and lower prices
would result in general decline of
the farm situation.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
From "disgruntled citizen to
the people.
The city council needs lot of
praise and very little criticizing in
the issue of dogs" They need our
cooperation and are they going to
get it? l hope SO.
We have tolerated some very deS-
picible exhibitions from these dogs
with our children, and l don't be-
lieve that we have to sit back and
take it on the chin
A fence does not have to be the
answer-a so foot length of wire,
leash, and collar are good solutions
to the issue at hand
The fact that our children are
being placed in the category with
canine is one of the most unbecom-
ing statements. have ever heard
and hope all of us do not feel this
way.

tablished at our city clerks office
which is as follows: AS of June IL
1855, there were 17O dog licenses
sold and only four of these we're fol-

Farmers Voting on Parity
by w. w. Mauritson,
county extension agent

KALISPELL-Farmers across the
nation Saturday vote on the wheat
referendum. Five polling places will
be open in Flathead county; at Cres-
ton Grange hall, Lower Valley
Grange hall, Saltwater Grange hall.
LaSalle Grange hall and Bad Rock
Farmers Union hall.
This referendum is vitally import
ant to all-whether wheat will be
supported or not. The choice is up
to the grain farmer.
Any farmer planning to raise IS or
more acres of wheat in 1856 is eli
gible to vote and sh0uld-Whatever
your choice.
SELL WOOL
Flathead County Woolgrowers
sold their pool shipment of wool the
past week for so cents a pound.
The Wool Pool has been operating
in Flathead County for eight years.
Principal advantage is on small
farm flocks wool is expensive to
handle in small lots and buyers do
not want to 60 to the expense and
travel of looking at small lots.

Winter wheat is hurt now, though
rain soon in large amounts would
materially help. We could still have
good spring grain crop.
For the farmer with an irrigation

We saw an article in the Hungry
Horse News about dogs. One certain
individual has taken it upon himself
to call the City Council stupid. With
approximately one year in our city
he seems to think he could manage
our city properly.
Well how much taxes does this man
pay in our city; we think none.
AS to our children-we'll say that
we protect them with speed limits
and all possible means in our power.
We are trying to protect the milk
bottles that the dogs wet on and
we have seen dogs drag milk bottles
away. If this is sanitary we are

dogs home so they can take care of
your milk.
Also invite the dogs in the church,
they have more right than man.
We have all seen dogs riding small
children, sure is nice sight. Look
around Mr.. Man and wake up. May
be he should take a look at the good
book and keep his nose out of the
City business. The City Council will
manage the city affairs and does
not need any help from a man with
approximately one year in our city.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
l have a special message to ca
mines Keep clear of the City Hall
hydrant-It's dynamite!"
I can realize the anguish of the
city fathers in view of the recent
accidents which have befallen this
ornament. However, / do not feel
at this time that / can support local
Legislators in the recent passage of
the ''dog leash ordinance"
Could the council be heartless
enough to do away with a child S
pet who through love follows the
little masters to a movie or to school
and loiters to await their return.
Gentlemen, / am glad that I'm not
in your shoes!
Naturally as dog owners we are
responsible for the actions of our
pets. When property damage is done
it is our obligation to repay or re-
pair the damage. The vast majority
of us are willing to do this.
Since the village employs only one
police officer wouldn't it be much
more feasible to keep him occupied
with the serious problems confront
ing the community relative to traf
fic and crime prevention.
Members of the council, you have
invaded many homes this week an6
disheartened a lot of families. To be
frank about the entire matter, the
Columbia Falls Council will be q
very unpopular group for some time
to come.
There is much to be said on the
matter pro and con. However
shouldn't the family dog become 9
personal rather than civic prob
lem after they have been duly icen.
Sed.
These are my personal views but
I feel that they are presently shared
by many in the community at this
time.
Very truly yours,

Dear Editor:

Lear EQlLOr:
Some of us taxpayers, who bought
dog licenses for our pets so they
would be free to run, and be COM
panions and protectors for our chill
dren, are curious to know in what
manner the refund on the license
will be paid, now that the privileges
guaranteed by the license are to be
revoked.
Also, we can't help wondering if
the next law passed by the city fa-
Tiers will be one demanding that all
youngsters found off their home
property will be picked up and their
parents required to pay five or ten
dollars to get them released from
the city Jail. We mention this, not
to compare the children with dogs
because we are the parents of three
little ones, two of whom are big
enough to play on the sidewalk to the
end of the block on either side of
our house. Despite our efforts to
keep them from bothering our neigh
bors, we know that the neighbors
are pestered more by the kids than
by the dog who inevitably accompan-
les them. Dogs ordinarily don't run
in and out of neighbors houses, while
most children, including ours, do,
with very little encouragement. How
ever. we, who remember our own
childhood, accept this as part of life
here in America, where most every.
one loves children and likes to have
them around, and just naturally &C.
cept the dogs that 60 with them.
Perhaps the law makers of this
progressive little community have
forgotten their childhood and the
dogs we imagine most of them had
or Just have outgroWn such non
sense (poor things).
So, while we can Sympathize with
childless and dogless people, who
are pestered by their neighbors kids
and dogs, we can't help wondering
just when the kids are going to be
prohibited" and those of us wht
were looking forward to making oul
home here and raising our children
in this friendly little community, vii
find it necessary to either drown oul
''young'uns" or move to less PRO
gressive" and more American area
Being very broadminded, we, O
course, won't expect a refund fol
the whole year, but certainly see M
reason for paying for dog license
which we would not have had t
buy if we kept our dog penned VI
he would get mean and be useless
as playmate and protector for ou
children. We will be anxious to rea'
about the arrangements that the cit,
fathers have made to pay back tn
