IF you're using bare table, try
TO use place mats that conform TO
the shape of the table. Oblong place
mats are adaptable to rectangu-
lar table. If your table is narrow
because of limited space, put your
place mats along each side, leav,
ing table ends for decorations and
large accessory dishes. For a
square table, you can use square
center mat and oblong place mats !;
round centerpiece and round doll

Do you like candles at the table !!
For a small table, a candelaDra
NAV be used, or you can place two

the federal government must help
raise some of the funds for build
ings."
A separate conference report on
how to obtain a continuing public
interest IN eduation reported opin-
ion divided on the question "of the
elevation of the Office of Education
to Cabinet status"
But no doubt was left that the
administration has big plans for
expansion of the facilities of the
Office of Education.
This plan for an almost all out
program of federal aid by the
Eisenhower regime rs quite differ
ent from the program which the
administration presented to Con-
gress last year. That progrem
confined federal aid primarily to
various types of leans with out
right grants for school construction
to go only to such states as could
prove their inability to meet the
bill themselves.
Out OF Politics
AS this conference brought out
again and again in the course of
it's deliberations, there is plenty of
money to finance the nations
schools. Only interest and action
are lacking.
The conference report on federal
aid hit at one of the biggest road
blocks to schools when it urged
the people of America to "re-ex-
anime the ALLEGATION of tax funds
at all levels Of government"
The administra TONS swing about
in favor of a strong federal aid
to-education program may dilute
the topic as a burning campaign
issue.
With both parties now out to
aid the nations schools, it is main
ly a question of how much aid and
exactly how it should be given, "
as Secretary Folsom put it.
But even with this evidence of
support, opponents to federal aid,
both Democrats and and Republi-
cans, will be active There is still

British Budget
Major Burden
To Workers
s2,4OO FRESHMAN

London - The British worker
and his family are expected to
bear the major burden of the new
economic measures announced by
the Conservative Government of
Sir Anthony Eden.
The so-called emergency budg-
et," presented last week to a hos
tile Parliament, will cut into the
postwar wage gains chalked up by
British trade unions and in all
likelihood reinforce their demands
for the reopening of contract talks.
Initial wage demands, it was esti-
mated, will affect about d million
workers.

of federal assistance" for the ma
tons schools.
The White House conference,
which was fully expected by many
educators to come up with nothing
more than a neutral statement at
best, hammered out positive
forceful, and specific report.
Help Erase Deficit
Conference delegates by a bet
ter than two-to-one ratio called
for federal aid to states in the
building of schools. To almost ev-
eryone's surprise, the conference
showed a large proportion of the
delegates-one-halfw willing to &C
even further with use of federal
funds "for local school operation
A every small minority" opposed
federal aid for education in any
form. A Large majority" did not
favor use of tax funds for support
of non-public educational institu'
tons.
The administration, riding the
wave of its major success in bring
ing forth this fortnight express
sion from the educators, brought
the conclave to a smashing climax
with its promise to "help erase the
classroom deficit and dispel this
shadow over our children"
These words, spoken by Secretary
of Health, Education, and Welfare
Marion B. Folsom had the obvious
support of the President.
For Secretary Folsom came tc

a lew Gays ago the u. y. Supreme
Court handed down its decision.
It granted the Writ and reached
a decision without argument of
the case. Such procedure happens
rarely and in effect the highest
court in the land said the posi-
ton Of the Attorney General and
the Montana Supreme Court were
so untenable that there was no
need for argument and further de-
lay on the issue before the. court.
Now the Attorney General says
that the issue is still alive, limiting
at further delay in leasing.
It is estimated that the State of
Montana lost approximately 615
million dollars in bonus revenue
because the Attorney General tied
up the leasing of state land. The
Attorney General says that is not
SO the oil is still there. But
there isn't a man in this group
who doesn't know that the specu-
lative value has gone out of a
good bit of our state land. We are
in the Williston Basin - we have
all seen the oil activity come al
most to a halt. Why? Because the
oil companies have drilled dry
holes on land adjacent to State
land and where the seismic pic
ture looked good, have delayed
drilling because they do not wish
to prove Unbiased land in the CEN
ter or adjacent to their holdings.
How does this affect you? What
happened to the seismic crews that
spent money in your stores -
what happened to the lease brok-
ers, the oil company offices in
town with their payrolls? And
even more important and more
painful - if we lost 615 million
IN bonus money which would
have gone toward financing edu-
cation = somebody has to dig UP
that money. That somebody is you
+ the taxpayer.
Education has no place in poll
tics II Attorney General Arnold
Olsen chose to put it in politics.
In view Of MI. Olsen's statement
that the issue is still alive - in
timating further delay - it be-
comes very obvious that the rea-
son for his position is PERSONAL
and not as he has represented, to
protect the trust of the school
children of Montana"
This whole matter of lease law
tie up is emphasized by the fact
that when it became apparent
that the legislature could increase
the appropriation to the Univer-
sity system by 315 to 4 million
dollars it might be necessary to
bond the state to the extent OF
S10,000,000. To finance such a
bond issue it was proposed that
an additional millage levy be
placed on real property. 1t was
pointed out on the Senate floor
that Insurance companies are be-
coming reluctant to make real
property loans in Montana be-
cause of the high assessments. For

The Gath Legislative assembly
of the State of Montana completed
its work without any great dis

was no better than other sessions
and no worse. But out of the de-

Today I will review just a few
