Building Homes

1t appears that Columbia Falls is taking hold
of the housing shortage problem.
A number of men in the community who want
houses are attacking the situation Of FILA fin
ancing by planning to make part even all Of the
required down payment in the form of labor on
their part.
This has been done before in the community;
building suppIers have been helpful, and now more
contractors have become interested.
Many of the coming here to work at the
aluminium plant are from large communities. Those
cities have housing developments where contractors
erect so, 100 or even more homes at a time.
Such development now does not seem practical
in Columbia Falls, and we should base our thinking
on this likelihood.
It would seem that man in smaller city
must be more resourceful. In Spokane such i'm
provements as sidewalks, curbs and streets seem
to come automatically. In Columbia Falls, there's
definite interest and energy required before such
improvements result.
New housing is possible and practical here but
the man must 60 after the housing, it won't come

FLUoRlDATIoN
AS expected this question failed, and the vote
was a swapping 235 to IS. This should keep the
issue Oft ballots for years to come.
We favored fluoridation personally and in edi-
torials. The question lost, and that's it.
We heard an interesting comment Tuesday
morning Nov we've defeated that fluoridation,
let's see what we do about chlorination.'
We believe that if Columbia Falls voters could
decide the question, they would vote down chlorin-
alton Of the municipal water supply by substan-
tal majority.
In West Glacier chlorination is avoided by
having isolated spring up the mountain, and
the water does not see daylight until it comes out
of the taps. That's ideal situation We wish Col
umbia Falls had such an arrangement.
In contrast Columbia Falls has its principal
supply from two springfield reservoirs at the foot
Of Teakettle mountain, somewhat exposed, and in
addition there two wells right next to the city.
There is ample water, and it is cold and clear,
but how can we avoid chlorination?
The State Board OF Health had difficult time
something over two years ago making Columbia
Falls install chlornator. It only after the
water here was termed unfit for human consump-
ton in Associated Press stories from Helena that
a chlorinator was installed
We have never tasted the part per million
of chlorine added to local water, but there SO
many who say they have.
There is also dlSDene1 as TO the effectiveness
OF State Board OF Health tests 1t is said that you
could send in four samples Of water from the same
tap, and Helena would return findings OF two be-
ing negative and two positive
We have thought some of printing ballot a
the bottom this column to get more concrete
idea of sentiment chlorination. Then what woult
be next?

Report Seed Weed
Danger in State

KALISPELL-During the spring
OF 1854 county agents Of five coun-
ties in Montana took seed samples
from 139 different farms. These
samples were taken from the drills
right in the fields that were being
seeded. Analysis were made at the
Montana State college seed lab.
Seventy-eight of these samples
disqualified as seed in Montana
because of noxious weeds.
Twenty mine disqualified on &C
count of other weeds or crop mix
lures.
Eleven were disqualified because
of other crops.
Only 81 or ISL per cent were
classed as suitable for seed.
If these figures are representa-
tive of Flathead county, we are
planting lot of weeds which we
either control later at considerable
cost or take a reduction in yield.
How are you doing? A good
cleaning plant pays for itself. Toe
how about keeping a small field
that you can rogue by hand and
harvest separately for your own
seed or buy your seed from q
grower of registered-weed free
seed of known purity and high
