A resolution to place the new
Fairfax Board Of County Super
visors on record against closed
sessions was rejected by 4-to-s
vote Of the board yesterday.
The resolution was offered by
Mrs. Anne wilkins, supervisor
from Mason district. who noted
there had been some criticism
of the board for holding infor-
NAL discussion" sessions before
regular board meetings.
Voting with Mrs. Wilkins for
the resolution were Supervisors
Stuart DeBell Of Centrevflle Dis
trict and James Keith Of Provi-
dence District.
It was Mr.. DeBell who first
mentioned the private meet
ings" q week ago. when he pro-
tested that certain discussions
of the master plan should have
been held in public.
Three Democrats Opposed
All three who voted for the
resolution are Democrats. Vot-
ing against it were the three
Republican board members. Brig,
Gen. Richard p. Ovenshine Of
Mount Vernon. A. Claiborne
Leigh Of Dranesville and VII
liam Moss Of Lee. They were
Joined by the boards Democratic
chairman. Joseph II. Freehill.
Supervisors who voted against
the resolution gave several real
sons. They said Its passage
might be interpreted as an sd-
mission that executive sessions
were being held. They also
reasoned that the supervisors
should feel free to get together
informally and discuss county
problems so they can have all
pertinent information available
when matters come up for ac-
: ton at regular board meetings.
The resolution offered by Mrs.
wilkins stated that "this board
enunciates a policy Of holding
no executive sessions and max
ing all decisions on county mat
tiers after thorough discussions
at open meetings to which the
public is welcome at all times"
Ovenshine Cites Benefits
I'm not sure how to vote on
this" said Gen. Ovenshine.
Certainly I don't consider that
we've had any executive ses-
sions. I do feel it is extremely
beneficial when we can discuss
questions informally SO we have
all information available to us
at regular board meetings when
we are called on to act"
do you think these informal
discussions really are essential?"
asked Mr.. Keith.
"I've been disturbed by the
comments Mr.. DeBelf made last
week implying that we have had
private meetings" said Mr.. Free
hin 81 think we should get to-
eether more often. but ! hesitate
to suggest it now. I don't want
to be accused of holding star

suffer If We cannot get together
Consider Reaction
Gen. Ovenshine said he
thought the comments on Mrs
Wilkins resolution demonstrated
the value OF discussing certain
things before regular board
meetings.
IF we disapprove the resolu.
ton, it looks like we favor execu.
tive sessions" he said. III 1t /,

i Mr.. Freehill said: II dont
think it's possible to operate this
KIND Of business by taking ur
every little matter at a regular
m9ting-some discussions are
mob appropriate for regular board
meetings"
Mr.. Freehill said the board die
not intend to avoid public dis.
cussion of county problems and
added that no action could be
taken In executive session under
State law.

Bill 10 Benefit
Growing Areas
NJ , star stafY corrsspondent


RICHMOND, Feb. 1S.--Dele-
gate Omer L. Hirst OF Fairfax
today offered legislation to the
General Assembly that would
give the fast-growing Metropoli-
tan Area of Washington big in
creases in State revenues.
state funds are distributed
with population as factor.
Mr.. Hirst would allow any To-
cality to order an official census
by the Federal Government TO
revise the figures.
AS matters now stand. popula-
ton figures are based on the
decennial census taken through
out the Nation by the Federal
Government. Hence. fast grow
ing areas, like those near WASH
ington, are frozen to population
figures taken every 10 years.
Profits of the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board are dis
tributed to the counties and
cities solely on the basis Of popu-
lation. Road funds in both the
primary and secondary system
use population as a factor in a
complicated system of formulas.
The distribution of State welfare
funds also is based on popula-
ton.
Mr.. Hirst has drafted his bill
so any locality that calls for an
official census will have the re-
suits added to the total for the
State as a whole. This would
have the effect of reducing the
loss that would be sustained by
the counties showing no gain in
population.

Results of Iowa
Tests Reported
To Students

Members of the senior and
sophomore classes have been CIV
en- a report called a profile card"
of their scores on the Iowa Tests.
These tests measure four of what
might be called fundamentals OF
a general education" They mea-
sure ones ability to understand
and the use the English Ian
guage, to do practical every day
arithmetic: ones knowledge of
natural science and ability to
think straight about common
scientific matters; ones know
ledge of the principles Of the So
cial sciences and ability to think
straight about common social
problems.
A students score on these tests
compare him with tens of thou
sands of students throughout the
country as well as with his own
classmates. If his score falls
above the rs line he has a high
educational development in that
fundamental. If it falls on or
near the so line he has average
ability in that fundamental. If
his score falls below the Is line
it indicates he has a weakness
which he should strive to over
come. If a score Is low he should
not get discouraged, for he al
ways has a chance to do better
in the future. If his score is high
he should strive to continue his
educational growth at or above
his present level.

Cold weather last week slowed
farm activities, and the rate OF
vegetative growth considerably
throughout Montana. Soil mois-
ture for terminating new seed
ings improved in the western and
south central districts and in a
small portion of the central and
north central districts. Although
field work was curtailed some
what by poor weather, spring
seeding of spring crops progress
ed at a fairly rapid rate. Both
calving and lambing continued
satisfactorily with very few I'M
usual losses reported. The general
condition of livestock ranged
from fair to good for the State
as a whole last week due to cool
weather and inadequate supplies
of range grass.
Soil moisture for terminating
new spring seedlings remained
generally short last week in the
eastern and north central dis
tricts, although there was a minor
improvement in some of the west
r counties of the latter area.
In the central district moisture is
now generally adequate. Album
dant supplies prevail in the south
central and western districts.
Seeding of crops advanced
more rapidly in the eastern and
central districts than in the other
sections of the state. AS of last
Saturday, spring wheat seeding
throughout Montana was almost
three-fourths completed and drill
ling of barley and oats was ap-
proximately 45 percent done. The
greatest advance occurred in
planting sugar beets which was
about SO percent completed. Cold
weather has -hindered seeding
and termination of seed in all
parts of the state. The lack of
moisture has also contributed to
slowing down normal spring
seeding operations, particularly
the northern and eastern sec
ions.
Growth of most crops and
'ange grasses was practically at
4 standstill last week because of
cold, cloudy weather which
prevailed over the state. Crested
vheatgrass which is ordinarily
he first grass available to graz
ng animals has made very little
.rowth and is providing only
United grazing.
Calving and lambing advanced
apidly last week and losses were

County Health
Council Meets
At Court House

AT the Health Council meet
ing held in the court room al
the court house in Sidney April
26 with 80 present, Mrs. Carter,
the president, called the meeting

packer as the narrator for the
panel discussion. The panel was
then introduced as follows: Mrs.
George Kopp, manager of the
Home for the Aged; Charles
Walker, Welfare Board; Don
Penfz, Jim Spurgeon, George
Eikhoff, county commissioners,
and Nels Bach.
The summary of the discus
sion was that we + sadly in
need of a new Home for the
Aged where the elderly folk can
be cared for whether they III
dependent or past the stage of
being able to care for themselves.
The building of such a home
is a necessity in any community.
1t was reported that there were
many deplorable cases in u
city. Our present home is much
too small and wa not built for a
home of that kind and is not
equipped to care for the number
of cases for a town of this size.
MI. Bach told of visiting the
Lutheran Home in Williston and
commented on how such a fine
home could give the wonderful
care that was needed by our
old folks in Sidney. He also told
of meetings that were being held
and should be held in all the
churches and other organizations
to appoint laymen or representa-
nves to raise money from each
to be used to promote the build
ing of such a home.

that has not this problem at
