the continental divide.
Rangers Harold Estey an d
Adolph Opa1ka Thursday through
Saturday were on the trip from
Polebridge to Kishenehn creek
near the Canadian line. Last year
the March measurement was 40.7

Big Mt. Manager
Is State Nufive

Ed Schenck, general manager of
Big Mountain activities, is native
of Great Falls.
Before the war he was with
Western Airlines in public rela-
tions, out of the Denver office.
During the war, he served over
seas in the parachute troops, and
came out a major.
Returning to Montana, he had
the idea of ski development in
this northern state, and in Jam
uary, 1947 went on the present To-
cation of Big Mountain with Mar
ion Lacy and Roy Hollenbeck. Fa-
Their of skiing in the Whitefish area
is Lloyd Midtown, Whitefish sci
ence teacher.
Dec. 10, 1947 saw Big Mountain
open, and then came national ski
meets in 1949 and 1851 to publicize
the hill that offers ideal conditions
for the sport.
Big Mountain facilities in addi-
ton to the lift, now include the
chalets that can accommodate so
guests and the lodge with housing
for 20. Meals are served at the
chalet for the public on phone res
ervations. However during the
tournament, contestants will jam
! the facilities. To accommodate
spectators, the Whitefish saddle
club chuck wagon, and cooking
equipment from the Rocky Noun
] tain Riders chuck wagon will be
on the mountain. Hamburgers and
coffee will be available.

BPA Has Record
Power Output

The following release is the
complete text of the Bonneville
Power Administration news release
telling of operations during 1854.
It is presented in detail in view of
this areas having Hungry Horse
Dam whose power output is mark
eted by Bonneville.
PORTLAND-Operations OF the
U. S. Columbia river power system
resulted in a record generation of
2O.2 million kilowatt hours of en-
ergy for Bonneville's power adj
ministration during fiscal year
1854.
BPA's 18th annual report, re-
leased Thursday, said addition of
nine units of generation at Big
Cliff Detroit, Hungry Horse and
McNary dams, together with COM
paratively low stream flows the
previous year, contributed to an
increase of Is per cent over fiscal
year 1858.
Gross operating revenues total
ed $45,317, 693, highest for any year
of the systems operations. Net rev.
enues of $8,637,710, declined 9.72
per cent from the previous year,
due largely to higher costs OF new
dams going into service and growth
of the administrators transmits
sion system.
Energy sales to 116 customers in
Guiding 70 publicly owned utili-
ties, seven privately owned utili-
ties, II industries and Is federal
agencies, totaled 1873 billion kilo-
watt hours. Sales of electric energy
to publicly and privately owned
utilities were 81 billion kilowatt
hours, and 10.1 to industrial plants
and federal agencies, delivered at
a composite average rate of 2.40
mills. Approximately three billion
kilowatt hours of interruptib1e en-
ergy, an increase of Sc percent
over fiscal year 1858 was delivered
to industrial customers.
AS Of June 80, 1854, the fedora
gross invested capital in operating
projects, allocated to commercial
power, including generation ant
transmission was $1,013,0O6, SAC
and had been reduced to an I'M
paid balance of $842, 596,730 b,
cumulative repayments to tina
date of $170, 409,916. Total repay
ments were nearly $65, 000,0 il
excess of scheduled requirement
, at the end of the fiscal year. Gros
! invested capital represents powe
! components of all corps of engi
neers and bureau of reclamatio,
dams for which the administratio,
had been designated marketin
agency, and BPA transmission at
ciilties.
At the end of the fiscal yea
Bonneville power administratio
was operating 6,377 circuit miles 9
transmission lines and 158 substa
: tons, an increase of 670 miles 6
: line and 10 substations. Throug
the inter-connected systems of til
northwest grid and BPA custom
er substations, the administratio
!, supplied over So per cent of the to
tai energy generated by major uti
litieS of the region.
III Generation added to the fedora
i system in fiscal year 1854 had
n nameplate rating of 540,500 kiio
5. watts including 142,500 at Hungr
Horse, $50, 900 at McNary, 10000
+ at Detroit and $4,000 at Big Gilt
Non-federal utilities added nam

plate rating of 249,200 during the
year, principally 10000 at the Sc
attic Ross plant, $4,000 at the
Washington Water Power Cabinet
Gorge plant, 1900 at Portland
General Electric's Sullivan plant,
and 100000 at Pacific Power and
Lights Yale project.
There is every reason to believe
the power requirements of the Pa
cific Northwest can be met through
the new generation contemplated
under the partnership program and
construction of recommended fed
eral multipurpose projects such as
Libby dam," said Administrator
William A. Pearl in his letter of
transmittal to Secretary of Interior
Douglas Mckay.
Pearl pointed out that Al appli-
cations for power projects in the
Pacific Northwest with a potential
capacity of 100000 kilowatts
have been filed with the federal
power commission by non-federal
utilities. Proposed Canadian stor-
age projects could add between
1000, 900 and 100000 kilowatts
of generating capacity to the Col
umbia river system in the United
States.
Major construction activity dur
ing the fiscal year was concentrate
ed on transmission facilities tx

tnerapy should be sufficient evil
dence of its value.
With our present industrialized
society requiring so much spe-
cialization we sometimes overlook
the fact that we are are all still
individuals. A factory worker who
does one production line opera
ton day aftez day, along with many
others doing exactly the same oper-
alton tends to lose his identity
where his work is concerned. In
art work, every product Of an in
dividual is his al0ne-his per-
sonal expression.
As adults, we too often expect an
adult, highly realistic product from
students. We could hardly expect
high school English student to
publish a novel. Why then should
we expect masterpieces in a stu
dents art products? If we try to
understand the creative process
and place our values on them
rather than on final product, we can
give greater encouragement to the
students.

ing to relate the art work to uses
in other courses. Particularly at
the Junior High School level, a
student who may have little or no
interest in cleaning facts from a
test will often assimilate a great

M sCHnnL LIRRARY


The school library, elementary or
high is an essential element of the
school program, and the basic pur-
pose of the library is identical with
that Of the school it serves.
Under the main modern educa-
tional trends, the study-recitatiOn
type of procedure, adapted only to
the textbook and memOrized learn
ing, has been replaced by an active,
integrated curriculum involving
social and dynamic classroom pro-
cedure.
With such a program, children
need to acquire skill in seeking
information through various chan
nels and to become familiar with
reference and other library re-
sources. Likewise students need
access to a wide variety Of reading
materials both fiction and nom
fiction. These needs can be met
only through well organized ade-
quately equipped, and properly
stated library.
How does the Milford school
meet the above criteria? There is
much room for improvement in
the library service at Milford High
especially in the elementary and
junior high department as the fol-
lowing needs wiz DSar out.
Adequate space is at premium
in the entire school plant in spite
Of recent additions. There is no
available space for library quarters
in the elementary section. The
small and inadequate book collec-
ton of about 1,500 books is located
in a small room originally intended
as a janitors supply room which
Is used for a class room at the
same time. On a hurried, crowded
and a rotating schedule about six
hundred of the boys and girls in
grades three through five receive
some library service twice monthly.
The sixth grade hardly fares as
we'll. On a tight schedule Of around
forty minutes each Of the four Sec
tiOns of approximately thirty-five
pupils come once a month to the
high school library. For the same
reasons, lack Of space and lack
of sufficient number of books
graders one and two have very
little access to suitable books for
children.
In the high school the situation
is somewhat improved in regard
to books; however there is still
need for more space. Because OF
limited space, only about forty pu-
pills can be Accommodated at one
time. It naturally follows that when
a class is scheduled for the library
other students have Ia await their
turn another period or perhaps
another day Approximately two
days Of the school week are needed
to schedule junior high on a once
week basis.
Many pupils, especially in the
elementary school, are missing the
pleasurable and valuable expert
ence of browsing among we'll cho-
sen books, of selecting books which
appeal to their interest and Oi
reading widely.
