Falls Christmus
SHOPPING Increases

With record stocks of merchandise
and a growing population, Columbia
Falls merchants are reporting good,
early Christmas season business.
In some cases Christmas business
volume is ahead of year ago when
Anaconda aluminium Co. construction
employment was double the present
operations force.
E. j. Marantette of Park Mercan-
tile Co., local businessman for 80
years, commented that the Park
Mere had a larger stock than last
Christmas season. He added that
local shoppers are finding better
selections than ever before in local
stores.
John Anderson, longtime Colum.
bia Falls grocer, who last summer
opened Columbia Variety, reports
good early Christmas season shop
ping.
A similar report comes from Da
vail Mercantile Co.
AL Carter, Bank of Columbia Fall!
vice president, added that the whole
Columbia Falls economic pictur,
tends to look better. The Anacond;
plant now in operation is provid
ing a steady, permanent type O
growth for the community, and thi
is reflecting itself in the bushes
district. Continued important facto
to Columbia Falls economy, he con
cluded, are the lumber mills.
Hazardous highways have also bee
a factor in Columbia Falls resident
shopping their own stores first.
The better Christmas shopping i
Columbia Falls has occurred despit
the lack of festive air created b
delay in stringing Christmas light
across streets.

Natural SnoubQIIs
On FIQtheQd Field

George Westre. Columbia Falls
farmer, reported a Flathead field
full of nature manufactured snow
balls.
About four miles southwest of
Columbia Falls on the Marvin Lar
son place, Westre reported hundreds
of naturally made snowballs varying
up to a foot in diameter across the
field. Other nearby fields had lesser
amounts. Cause apparently was just
the right amount of wind and snow
in sticky near thaw condition.
The phenomenon was visible from
the LaSalle road between Columbia

FRANCE TRIES TO

from page seven

and in the northern regions,
where the vines give way to
orchards, there are literally mir
lions of tax-free legal home
stills turning out uncounted
kegs of applejack, pear nectar,
peach, plum and cherry brandy.
Easy 10 Get
If YOU don't make the stuff
yourself, you don't have to 60
far to buy it, since there's one
grog shop for every ia per-
SONS in France. as compared to
one for every 900 in America.
Ten per cent of the average
French family's budget goes to
buy alcoholic beverages.
The government budget also
suffers the same bottle-born
distortion - 81 billion francs
credit from liquor taxes. l52
billions debit for court costs,
disqualification, care Of aban-
doned children, industrial acci-
dent compensation, family
care, etc.
Over and above this figure.
there are other state expenses
stemming from intemper-
ance, such as police expenses in
handling auto wrecks drunk
en- driving accounts for one
quarter of the total. Also for
handling juvenile delinquentS of
SOdden parents, for care of
prisoners whose crimes arise
from alcoholism.
During the Public Health
budget debate, these figures
were submitted, together with
the comment, 1T is impossible
to estimate how many billions
of francs a year are lost TO the
French economy through lack
of productivity owing to abuse
of alcohol.
Drinking during the work
day is a matter Of course, and
the boss never frowns on it. The
workers lunch pail in France
has its bottle of wine exactly as
in America it has its milk or

obviously prevents him from
doing the job he should.
A leading politician, who
seems to feed his nimble brain
by alcohol injection, carries on
amazingly we'll except for occa-
sional public collapses from
'overwork" or, at least one
time, ''an overdose of heart
medicine"
Until a few months ago, the
majority of Frenchmen, in spite
Of government reports and par
liamentary debates, refused to
believe there was any problem.
Even though they themselves
suffered from the i'll effects of
overindulgence. They found
other explanations for their
Liver ailments"
Most Frenchmen, except for
the hard-cider and applejack
drinkers Of Normandy and
Brittany. are wine-bibbers, and,
as they will tell you, "A little
wine never hurt anybody"
According to DR.. Etienne
May, reporting from the Eco
nomic Council to the National
Assembly, IS per cent of French
alcoholism is due to the abuse
Divine. But the pro-wine propa-
ganda is not easy to contradict.
For example, a Frenchman is
told, believes and repeats that
a bottle Of wine contains as
much nourishment as five
eggs, or Is of a bottle of milk.
or $40 grams Of bread, or 585
grams of meat"
Exench Faith
FRENCH faith in the virtues
of wine, "a healthful, natural
drink, the product Of grapes
and sunshine" has remained
unshaken even in the face of
statistics: alcoholism kills more
Frenchmen than tuberculosis,

atric hospitals increased 200

Friendship Citizens
Pitched In TO End
Good Old Days
By Christie Rinehort

How good were the good old
days in Washington?
At least one group Of North
west citizens did not think too
much Of the 10Th century life in
the Nations Capital.
Col. Charles C. Lancaster de-
ecribed the Friendship Heights
area in 1898 as having neither
water mains nor service sewers"
I'VE had no fire department
or police station" he recalled.
1--WE had no telephones or elec-
trio light. We had practically
no graded. macadamized streets.
and our suburban roads were
ancient and almost impossible
at certain seasons Of the year.
Modern homes with sanitary con-
veniences we're rare and con-
spicuous by their absence"
Col. Lancaster was the first
president of the Friendship Citi-
zens' Association, then called the
Northwest Suburban Citizens
Association. He made this report
when he retired after heading
the organization for 81 years.
The Friendship area has come
q long way since the early days,
and the association has worked
hard for Improvements to the
neighborhood.
Janney School. where the
group now meets, was one of the
citizens early projects. So vigo-
rous was the 10-year campaign
to replace the antiquated Tenley
School that the association was
