This assistance is not a pension
to which everyone is entitled,
but rather ii is available only to
persons determined to be in
need, after investigation by the
County casewOrk staff.
In determining this need. the
cascworkcr attempts to arrive at
an amount to be given after sub
tracing all of the persons
sources of income from the est.
mated cost of necessities for liv-
ing.
In addition, person who is
employablc must show that he
is available for. and actively
seeking work. Such a person
will usually be requested to be
registered with the State En-.
ploymcn, office in Cut Bank. and
in some instances will be asked
to give consideration to partici.
patton in the Bureau of Indian
Affairs Relocation program,
which is now activatcd on the
Blackfcct Reservation.
For the first time this year
the officials from Glacier County
and the Blackfcet Tribal Council
are cooperating in the formation
of a work relief program. Under
this program. tentative plans call
for employablc persons to be
required to work for their assist.
ance on such projects as bridge
construction. hauling wood. and
snow removal.
Final plans are now in the
process of being completed and
it is expected that this program
will 60 into effect in the near
future.
On the basis of the past sew
eral years. and so far this year,
il appears that the demands for
and cost of general relief will be
extremely high this winter.
Since the financial need. es.
pecially in winter. is so much
out of proportion on this Reser.
walton when compared to the av.
eragc of the state and nation.
il is only appropriate that both

location Program and the efforts
of the Blackfect Tribal Business
Council to attract industry to the
Reservation. be given needed
support.

Glacier County Will Administer
Reservation Welfare Program

The Glacier County Commits.
Sioncrs have announced that they
have reconsidcred their action
of September 6 in which the Gla-
cicr County Welfare Department
was withdrawn from participa.
ton in the General Relief Pro.
gram on the Blackfect Rcscrva.
ton.
As a result. they have accepted
the $35, 10000 set aside for this
purpose in Glacier County by the
Blackfeet Tribe. to be disburscd
to individuals in need by the
County Welfare Department.
In addition. another $4,000
from Tribal funds has been sent
to the treasurer of P0ndcra coun-
~ to be used for the benefit of
needy Blackfeet who live there.
Most persons who have been
closely connected with the Res.
ervation Welfare programs are
grateful to the County Commits.
sioners for their decision to con-
tinuc in effect the same program
which has existed for the past
several years. This gratitude is
based OH the fact that this
method of handling the General
Relief program has more adc.
quately and more fairly met the
needs of all of the people than
any system previously used.
There is also full appreciation
Of the extra work in which both
the Commissioners and especial.
ly the Welfare Department staff
are involved.
Under this system. the Black.
feet Tribe has. since the winter
of l953.54. all0catcd S4O.OOO.OO 10
be used for general relief pur-
posed on the Reservation. The
cascwork staff of the Glacier and
r0ndera County welfare depart.
ments have administered the
money and these administrative
costs have been paid by the re.
Spectivc counties. In addition.
Glacier county has been provid.
ing 100000 for actual relief
disbursement.
Generally speaking. these
funds are given in the form Of
purchase orders to local business
establishments for such needed
items as food. clothing and fuel.

little Interest Shown
In Proposed Building
OF New Gymnasium

Only a handful of persons were
in attendance Tuesday evening At
the meeting called to discuss the
possibility of constructing . new
gymnasium to serve the local
schools.
Petitions had previously been
made up and circulated. calling
for the building Of . new gym.
nasium designed to meet the re.
quircments Of the school physi.
cal education program. which
with our present gymnasium. Is
far from possible to fulfill.
The proposed new building
would be located between the
new high school and the X. W.
Bcrgan grade school and would
be paid for thru . 20Lyear bond.
ing issue Of suggested $3.50. 900
and would have . seating capa.
city Of around $500.
As Harry Cloke. school super.
intendent. pointed out. the need
for such o building Is definitely
here. but II must be built by the
taxpayers Of the school district
as federal aid could not be pro.
vided for In building not used
In educational instruction.
II was also pointed out by
Phillip Ward. Jr.. high school
principal. that while the total
figure may seem large. the cost
could easily be met over o 20.
year period and would cost the
district taxpayers only about
$500 additional for every 500
paid In taxes.
No definite action was taken
due TO the small representation
present. but another meeting
will bc called at which time on
architect will b. present 10 show

A MINUTE
WITH Nj

l)lu you ever nave the occasion
to be called to stand beside your
son or daughter while they were
presented with an award?
It's great feeling: and no mat.
ter how small the award may be,
there is something internally
wrong with the father or mother
who doesn't feel like popping a
button when that child looks at
you after receiving the award.
and gives you nervous but
proud smile. knowing that he
has accomplished something on
his own, and has earned an
award he can be proud of.
Such was my experience Wed.
ncsday evening at the Cub Scout
meeting land that of several
other fathers and mothers. al.
though they didn't admit it to
mel. The youngsters were just
as proud. suppose to have their
parents stand up beside them be.
fore the group while they re.
ceived their token of accomplish.
ment.
a bit on the sentimental side.
perhaps. but such an occasion
seems TO bring out the father or
rlothcrly instinct to a degree
where you want everyone pres.
cnt to know. That's my
boy, and he seems to respond
in his child.likc mannerism. :.
That's my Pop" or. That's

is good medicine for the internal
machinery.

are those who claim this is the
last of the frontier towns.
However. ii is not so in the
sense of the word that cowboys
gallop their mounts up and down
the street. shooting up the town
in SO style. Rather. We just
haven't had enough of the right
kinds Of city ordinances to cover
the numerous violations com.

ALMOST RIGHT

BEDFORD, Ind. - up y 1t was
the right denomination but the
wrong church.
An out-of-town couple arrived by
car and asked for the Methodist
Church, where they were to at
tend wedding.
They were directed to First
Methodist Church. The wedding
started before they realized it was
the wrong couple. They couldn't
leave without disturbing the serv-
ices so they sat through the cere-
mony.
Then they left hurriediy for Trim
ity Methodist Church, but no one
learned whether they got there on
time.
