WASHINGTON - Especially
Montana Democrats in Congress
have come out against the pro-
posed Is per cent increase in
freight rates in Western rail-
roads.
THE West has been discrim-
mated against in freight rates for
years." Senator'S James E. MUIR
ray and Mike Mansfield and
Congressman Lee Metcalf told
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. currently holding hear
ings on the proposed increase.
Freight rates to the West should
be lowered, instead of increased. I"
Because of the boxcar short.
age, many Montana shippers
have storage facilities filled to
capacity. the 3.Ms noted in their
joint letter to the Commission.
THUS an increase now would
be like rubbing salt into an open

not be able to reduce their In.
vent0ry and adjust their prices
accordingly" they said.

year. another happy holiday sea-
son for most of US. but for some
the future seasons will be only
grim reminders of tragedies that
have left deep wounds that will
never be forgotten.
One of the worst holiday TRACE.
dies in this area took place in
Great Falls on Christmas morn.
ing when the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Long was destroyed
by fire that claimed the lives of
their three children.
The blaze presumably started
from the Christmas tree when
the wiring became overheated
from leaving the lights on all

Our deep sympathy goes out to
those whose lives are marked by
such tragedies. particularly dur.

For weeks before each holiday.
the National Safety Council is.
sues warnings repeatedly. point
ing out the dangers of such cir.
cumstances Some how these
warnings just don't get home to
all of US. thus our holiday head.

Tragedy can strike at any time,
and in any home. so let US bear
this thought in mind with New

In speaking of holiday TRACE.

set last weekend In highway
fatalities when 70 persons were
killed. The nations total of &C.

Of which 705 were on the high.

The Safety Council predicts
that 40 lives will be claimed by

earn spending money of his
own. He is completing the 10th
grade at the Maryland School
for the Blind, can type, is quick
to learn new things and very
capable Of using the phone.
(He was blinded at age ID.
Does any one know the proper
place to apply for such?
Second: Does anyone know
of a teacher of ukelele in the
Northeast Brooklar1d area?
Gle can play a little piano and
accordion.)
Third: Does anyone know
Of place to buy games, in
door or outdoor. he could play?
Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Please
