Chamber Okays Business Licenses

Columbia Falls Chamber of Com
merce at their December breakfast
meeting held Tuesday at McGreg-
ors cafe approved licensing all local
businesses.
Mayor Herman Benzien informed
the chamber that the city council
favored a small license fee as a
revenue measure to help support the
police department that since July
l was doubled in size to include two
men.
DR.. w. F. Bennett, chamber presi-
dent, appointed H. H. Dayall, Dean
Harrison and Charles Hetzer to a
committee that will meet with the
city council regarding the licenses.
The present licensing ordinance is
not inclusive and out-of-date provid-
ing such unenforced provisions as
licensing card designating is
illegal, hence a tax is not collected.
There is also a provision for a $40
fee on a pool table. Chamber mem
bers did not favor this in view of the
old-time pool hall being out, and
present pool tables in a well run
downtown youth recreation spot
as an example.
Chamber members expressed in
terest in a more stringent fee fol
peddlers. In response Mayor Her
man Benzien said he favored bar
ring peddlers from the city, and thai
home town business should be pat
ronized, in sympathy with wishes O
chamber members.

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
June IA P.-Premier Ngo Dinh
Diem was reported today to have
shelved his idea of a Saigon
conference with the Western Big
Three on major problems facing
South Wet Nam.
Reliable sources said instead
the Premier would send trusted
advisers to Paris, London and
Washington for bilaterial talks
on such questions as the unfit
cation elections due next year,
withdrawal of the French expe-
dictionary corps and ways to
counter the Communist Wet
Mini government in North Wet
Nam.
Mr.. Diem proposed May 81
that the Big Three Foreign Min
listers come to South Wet Nam
for the talks. The Foreign Min
listers, already facing summer
crowded with international con-
ferences. indicated they would
have to be represented by their
ambassadors to Saigon.
It was believed here the chief
spokesmen for Mr.. Diem in the
talks abroad would be his broth
er and No. / confidant. Ngo Dinh
Nhu, and Nguyen HUI Chau,
another close associate. Mr..
Nhu leaves Saigon tonight for
Europe and ultimately Washing
ton. Mr.. Chau is already in
Paris for conferences with top
French officials.
A major problem facing Mr.
Diem'S government is the Wet
Mimi proposal for a meeting late
next month to discuss the nation

Representative Hyde, Repub-

said he is confident that Con-

pirate enough funds at least to
start study of mass transpor-
tation in the Metropolitan Area.
A supplemental budget item of
100000 is now pending before
a House appropriations sub
committee for a survey of area
transit ills.
Mr.. Hyde. resident of Mont
gomery County, who testified for
the study measure recently, said
he seriously doubts that the sub
committee will allow the full re-
Quested amount.
But" he declared, II am very
confident. judging by the atti-
tude of the subcommittee mem
bers, that enough of the $400,-
900 will be forthcoming at least

Wants Fresh Thinking.

the Congressman stressed that it
behooves businessmen in and

of mass transit "or their busi-
nesses ultimately will suffer"
Concentrations of business
facilities, he pointed out, are the
places hurt most by inadequate
mass transit. While he did not
specify along which lines busi-
neSsmen should direct their fresh
thinking. Mr.. Hyde indicated that
one is the merchants steadfast
insistence on such conveniences
as free parking to encourage
motoring shoppers to deal in
their stores.
He further pointed out that
most businessmen traditionally
oppose street parking restrictions
for the same reason.

The story has it that Cherry
Vile derived its name from lanes
of cherry trees. AS the paSSerS-
by began to notice the beautiful
trees: they began to speak of
the settlement as Cherry Lane" "

CHERRY FESTIVAL
Whereas, the town of Cherry
vile could become town of rare
beauty, could be so suitable and
appropriately beautified by the
planting of Towering cherry trees
in the yards of her citizens and
ALONGSIDE the highways leading
into this fair city, and could, in
the not too distant future, Spon-
sor an Annual Cherry Blossom

Last February, the Village Gar
den Club sold $50 young flower
ing trees to be set out throughout
the city. The club also gave 81
trees to be planted in the Me-
mortal cemetery and other
church yards in Cherryville.
This year. the club plans to
set out a number of trees along
the East entrance of Highway

tlfication idea. the Cherryville
Nursery will plant $50 trees on
the West entrance of Highway

In addition, members of the
club have made houSe-to-house
canvasses and sold many flower
ing cherry trees to private clti-
zens. 1t is fond hope OF every
club member to see a cherry tree
blooming in every yard this
Spring.
