the editor, How do you man.
age to keep up the circulation
in a town where everybody
knows what's going on?"
Editor scratched his noggin
and replied, WAL, / guess the
only reason they read the pa
per at all is because they want
to see who has been caught at
it."
PoLLYTickS
We will never understand
people who seek out political
office and then, two days aft
er being elected, howl about
the wages. On salary of, say,
800 dollars month, the office
holder usually gripes his head
off about the low wages the
public pays him. He has no in
vestment and works easy
hours at a usually easy job. To
/ realize 300 a month from in
vestments he would have TO
put up over 10000 dollars and
then he wouldn't be sure OF a
steady income. Political jobs
seem to me to be a pretty nice
way of making easy money.
HUH2
Middle age is when all the
years you've lived begin to
show in the middle.
LIFE
When an older person tries
to act like kid, his friends
think him silly. When a young
ster tries to act like an adult,
they call him delinquent.
WELL7
Our idea of a real sour-puss
is a guy who doesn't laugh at
that joke you told him until
he gets home.
TACT
Tact is when a young fellow
in an expensive nightclub asks
his date. ."and what would
you like, my plump little an
gel?"
FAMILY
Sonny: Mother where does
the light go when it goes out 2"
Mother: I'm not sure but
think it goes the same place
your father goes when HE
goes out!
RICHES
If you want to get rich and
live happily, just buy your
self a nice little town, install
parking meters and get a JUS
tice-of-the-peace appointment,
and settle down.
TRAFFIC
In ten more years, the stat
isticians tell us, there will be
IS million automobiles on the
roads of the United States. We
predict that if the H-bomb
hasn't been exploded by that
time, they won't need to.
OVERHEARD
Overheard in manhole was
this Joe would still be a
bachelor but he was miss-led!
PROBLEM
One of the problems that
parents must face nowadays
Is whether to send junior TO an
educational institution or a
coeducational institution.
QUESTION
One of the many things
that battles US completely is
where has Davy Crockett been
all these years?
HOBBY
Wen bet, that if a count
were taken, the total number
of bird watchers wouldn't
half equal the number of girl
watchers.
SELLING
If YOU want to hire a sales
man the first thing to deter
mine is whether or not the
seat of his pants are shiny.
And remember that more Gig
arctic lighters would work if
they got their feet off the
desk.
OUCH!
And we suppose you've
heard the one about the guy
who went to the races and who
made a mental bet and lost
his mind. SO we won't lnen-

THE DANGER in FREE Enterprise
Or
BABE" BATTLES THE MAJORS
BY GRETCHEN BILLINGS

Undaunted, he continued to sell
gasoline at Sc less and the Chevron
Company went about the business
of hiring an electrician, con-
tractor, a welder, and a painter
to take down Chevron signs and
paint out the Chevron name on his
establishment.
The Chevron Company went TO
all of this effort, time and expense
on a station that in January and
February sold about 800 gallons
of gasoline.
Because MIR. Ryan owns his prop
erty there was no lease to cancel,
so The California Company could
not turn him out, and Chevron gas
is still going through the pumps be-
cause the Helena jobber will not
abrogate a contract he has for the
next year with Ryan.
When we drove the mile out the
MissouIa highway to talk to Babe
Ryan he was across the road at
etc aN1d Nook Gazing uAs supper
and he had TO leave his meal three
times to wait on customers. This
has increased my business" he said,
people don't like the high price
of gasoline"
Then he added, 81 am paying the
same price for gas as every other
gas station but if | charge Sc less
out of my pumps the major oil COM
panies will not let me identify my
station as selling their gas-they
own the oil wells, they own the re-
fineries and distribution centers
and they tell me how much l must
charge for gasoline, and if don't
do it they take down their signs and
paint their names off my station"
With a rueful shrug of his shoulders
he concluded, 81 don't tell them
how to run their business, i don't
think they should tell me how TO
run mine"
Babe Ryan is not about to quit
selling his gas for &c less. His bust
ness has increased so much he
doesn't even have time to eat his
dinner. He is enjoying his fling
at trying to test the great free en-
terprise ideal.

Montana and
The SuIk Polio
Vaccine

The Importance of the State
Board of Health to the people
of Montana is being realized in
the silent drama of hard work
and long hours that have been
necessary to plan and organize
the state for administration of
the Salk Polio Vaccine to first
and second grade children.
DR.. Paul Ensign who is head of
the Child Welfare Services for the
Board of Health points out that Mon
tana is receiving $50 of the vaccine
whereas other states are receiving
only 900, because of the high per-
centage of children registered for
the shots, and the insistence of the
State Board of Health that we had
to have more than 90@o.

Three of Four of States
Delegation Favor Hike to
Sf.25 lin Minimum Wage

Communications received by Hell
ena Trades & Labor Council from
the four members of Montana's con-
gressional delegation indicate that all
except Rep. Flare favor increasing
the minimum wage from the present
75c an hour to $1.25 on all employ
ment subject to the jurisdiction of
the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Rep. Metcalf and Sen. Murray are
both sponsors of $1.25 minimum wage
legislation. Sen. Mansfield is for it's
enactment. Rep. Flare goes along
with President Eisenhower in thinking
that an increase to 90 cents an hour
is sufficient.

Putting into practice the ideal
of free enterprise has added new
zest to the life of Clarence Babe"
Ryan, operator of gasoline station
on the outskirts of Helena on the
Missoula highway.
Mr.. Ryan, who owns his station,
is presently the main character in
little saga that might be entitled
chow to live dangerously in a gas
station" At this point he has in
creased his business, but in the
process he has found the major
oil companies don't like to play
free enterprise with him.
Until few days ago the Ryan
gas station had Chevron Gas signs
plastered on his property, his build
ing and his gas pumps in the man
ner of gas stations.
But a few days ago everything
changed at the Ryan "two-for-a-
nickel station, as he fondIy calls
his small set-up.
On April 18th Babe" put big
sign on the pole supporting the
electric Chevron sign on the edge
of his property that read SAVE
&c."
BY sunset April 2Sth there was
no Identification left to tell what
kind of gasoline he had to sell and
the SAVE Sc sign was standing in
another spot.
Mr.. Ryan says, First they came
and took my credit cards and credit
card machine and told me they were
California Company property, so
now my customers can not partici-
pate in the slash in gas on their
credit cards.
