Diamonds
With
Intrigue

Yesterday afternoon, repre-
sentatives from 80 women's
clubs in the Washington
Metropolitan Area we're guests
of the Chesapeake & Po-
tomac Telephone Co. at lunch
con in the International Room
of the Occidental Hotel Res
taurant to preview an enter
tanning and informative pro-
gram called Diamonds of
Destiny"
Miss Barbara K, Ryan of
the telephone company's pub
lie relations staff served as
hostess and presented the 40
minute talk and demonstra-
ton. Miss Ryan was assisted
by Miss Merle L. Deits, also
of the C. & P.
PUBLISHED replicas of some
of the worlds best known dia-
monds were attractively dis
played before the audience as
Miss Ryan talked about the
history, intrigue and romance
surrounding such historic gems
as the Kohinoor. the Cullinans,
Orloff, Florentine, Regent,
Jonker, and Hope.
ROyalty's Gems
Some Of the fascinating peo-
pie, including royalty, who
have owned these gems down
through the years were named
and little-knoWn stories related
by the speaker about how they
come into possession of a par
ticular gem or how it was used
as a part of crown jewel COL
lectionS.
Considerable discussion was
devoted to the Hope Diamond
and its stay in Washington as
the property of the late
Evalyn Walsh Mclean. This
deep blue diamond is believed
to be a recut of the famous
French blue gem of SO carats,
which was once part of the
crown jewels of France. 1t
was stolen in the great Paris
jewel robbery of 1892 and the
stone was never seen again in
its original size. In 1880,
however, this diamond now
known as the Hope reappeared
in London as a 44-carat gem.
1t was in 1911 that Mr.. Ed
ward Mclean bought the blue
diamond for his wife from
Carriers of Paris for 1854, 900.
The stone is now in the pos
session of Mr.. Harry Winston,
famed New York diamond
broker.
New Program
The new program intro
duced yesterday is one of
several free programs avail
able through the telephone
company for women's organi-
cations. An announcement
was made at the meeting of a
program involving the use of
color in home decorating
which will be introduced for
public use next month.

the certain traits. qualities and
talents which the teens them
selves do not possess. In short,
a teen wants to be just like his
or her idol.
Idols can definitely change
the teen-ager as an individual.
When a teen starts copying
certain qualities. he changes.
This can range from buying
EVERY SINGLE record sung
by the idol to cutting hair lust
like the idolized movie star.
Idol worship is not bad sc
all. they say. In fact. it has a
real value because it is a source
of getting the teen to reach
for achievement. It is pad.
however, when a teen chooses
to worship an individual who
is not worthy of worship
Of course there are different
idols in different teens minds.
Some teens don't think in
terms of famous people but
types of people. The most COM
mon types of occupational
idols are the doctor, model,
actress. armed forces officer
and scientist.
When thousands upon thou
sands OF teen-agers decide that
a certain person is what they
all want to be. or worship,
then national idols are made.
These are the most common
among teens. National idols,
by the way, have slowly been
dropping out Of teens minds
since the late nineteen forties.
Then. this country was
loaded with them! Now how
ever, there are few. and they
are usually even more momen-
tary than the ones in the past.
But through the last so years
there have been teen idols.
Most of them have been movie
stars. singers, sports figures
and Presidents. Here are some
of the biggest teen idols in

ton from Britt, Iowa, instead of the
Republican convention from San
Francisco. Everyone knew what was
going to happen at the Cud Chewer's
Castle anyhow, but did you read
about the wild time the Hoboes had?
That would have kept us all on
our ears.
In Helena the Republicans had an
ad in the paper telling people they
could see the convention on TV at
9 North Main. The ad didn't add that
9 North Main is Democratic Head
quarters. e
This coming weekend is the Demo
cratic Platform Convention, in Hell

policy.
That will be an interesting meet
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1956-08-24

The national conventions are prac-
tically thing for the history books,
the only thing left as of my writing
is for Ike to speak.
l thought the Democratic conven-
ton was interesting, and the vice
presidential balloting became down.
right exciting for those of us who
were listening over the radio, as was
the battle over the civil rights plank.
The Republican convention was
much too dull, and l don't think the
voting and REPETITION accomplished
the purpose it was intended to. If it
hadn't been for All ex-Democrat there
would have been no reason for any
one listening, but Mr. Carpenter from
Nebraska provided side-hght that
added a few minutes of humor. 1t is
too bad Mr.. Martin didn't see fit to
let the man speak. He couldn't have
said anything much worse than the
southern Democrats said at the DEM
ocratic convention-but they had a
chance to say it.
1 think the Republicans carried
their unity" just little too far when
they used the hammer on Mr.. Car
penter.
But even if he wasn't allowed to
speak he put across his point.
The national communications net
works would have had a much more
vital and impressive program if they
had brought US the Hoboes' conven-

ing, not only because there may have
to be some hammering-out of planks,
but because a state chairman is to
be elected.
Republican leaders who rule their
party with much heavier hand than
Democrats do, are going to make as
much as they can about the wrang-
ling, chewing and chawing that has
gone on nationally and will go on
here this weekend to give the Demo-
Gratis their platform and chairman.
But for my part l don't think much
of too much unity. This is a de-
mocracy and it's life blood is con-
troversy, conference and compromise
not conformity.
| recall the terrible wrangle at the
last National Republican Convention
and we were all quite avid listeners
out of that Ike won. This time there
wasn't anything TO listen to.
SO it doesn't necessarily follow
that good on-top-of timetable fights
do irreparable harm-and to my no.
ton they do a great deal of good.

Helena Young Democrats
Plan Huge Outdoor
Election Tally Board

The Lewis and Clark County Young
Democrats plan to erect huge out
door tally board in front of the Demo
cratic headquarters downtown for the
purpose of showing the general cleo
ton results in November, Edward d.
Little, club president, has announced.
The tally board will be placed out
side of the headquarters with ample
lighting so that the public will be
able to see the immediate election
results. Chairs will be placed in a
blocked-off area in front of the head
quarters.
The Young Democrats will have
members posted at the various gather
ing points for election returns so
that the results may be phoned in and
posted Immediately. Other members
will pick up the results at different
precincts in Helena and rush them to
the tally board so that an up to the
minute account of county races may
be maintained.
Various county candidates will help
to maintain the tally board. The board
will be kept in operation from TOO
P. M. election night until the final
results are in the next day.
Coffee and donuts, which are being
donated by the Lewis and Clark
County Democratic Central Commit
tee, will be served for the public.
1t is believed that this is the first
time an outdoor tally board has ever
been attempted in Helena, according
to Little.

COP PROSPERITY" DETOURS
AROUND MONTANA STOCKMEN

i
'The cattleman is caught in a
vicious circle" Montana newspaper
(The Montana Standard) notes edi-
torially, warning that "a catastrophe
could result from a feed shortage,
which now looms in Montana, or a
cattle market glut, which is possible
at any moment"
AS the editorial says, here is what
has been happening:
"The market for calves and other
livestock has been going down stead
lily. SO the growers have held them
back. The calves were not sold in
the fall.
"As a result, the cattle population
continues to grow, and it will con-
tinue to grow indefinitely or until
there is a catastrophe on the nations
farms and ranges"
There have been many suggestions
as to what should be done about the
need for special assistance to the
cattle industry. Just last month State
Representative Archie L. McInnis of
Geyser reviews several in letters to
Senators Murray and Mansfield and
Congressman Metcalf.
Here are the suggestions and the
answers which the BINS received from
the Department of Agriculture:
l. Legislation placing a floor under
cattle prices-"we have followed the
policy of consulting with the industry
and members of Congress in matters
concerning the farm economy. Repre-
sentatives of the cattle industry have
preferred government purchase pro-
grams, increased promotional efforts,
and expansion of export markets, rath-
er than direct price supports"
2. Reduction in freight rates on
stock and grain-may be considered.
3. Legislation providing for sale
of feed grain at reduced prices to
livestock producers - present law
prohibits, with certain exceptions,
sales by Commodity Credit Corpora
ton Of any basic agricultural COM
modify for unrestricted domestic use
at less than 1850 of the current sup
port price plus reasonable carrying
charges.
"Sales for feed constitute one of |
the exceptions to such pricing restric-
lions, but such sales must not sub
stantially impair any price support |
FEED SHORTAGE?
Where conditions and feed short
ages are of sufficient severity to war
-ant serious consideration, the Pres
dent may declare the state a major
disaster area upon recommendation
~ the Governor. The Secretary of
Agriculture then defines the specific
area within state and designates the
,ype of federal assistance that will
,e available.
Under the Departm Emergency
Feed Grain Program, eligible farm
'rs and ranchers may qualify for the
purchase of feed grains-corn, oats,

pounds discount from prevailing local
market prices.
THIRD PARTY
Overheard Third Party? Of
course want a third party-I've
been thrown out of two tonight"
GLENDIVE FLOOD CONTROL
Glendive is one of the first cities
in the nation to benefit from an
amendment passed by the 84th Con-
gress, which raised the ceiling of
federal expenditures for small prof.
ects to 100000.
The limit previously was $150,000.
Had it not been for the amendment,
local interests would have had to have
put up the additional $4,000 or
$4,000 estimated cost of the West
Glendive flood control project.
Under the law, local interests still
must provide all lands and rights-of-
way necessary for the project, reloca-
ton of roads, bridges and utilities
and must agree to operate and main
tain the project.
Army Engineers have assured Sen
ators Murray and Mansfield that work
will begin as soon as possible after
the local cooperation requirement
Is met.
SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE
Ex-Congressman D'Ewart, who left
the Department Of the Interior after
the Senate failed to confirm him as
assistant secretary, is serving in a
new post as special representative TO
Agriculture Secretary Benson on
drought matters.
D'Ewart's new job does not re-
quire Senate confirmation.
According to the Agriculture De-
partment, his salary will be $1,000
a year. His former position with In
terror paid $4,000.
BUTTE ROAD
Improvement of Chalk Butte Road
In Glacier county in the interests of
national defense is up to the Secre-
tary of Defense.
With certification by the Bureau
OF Public Roads, the 40-mlle access
road to the Air Force installation
goes to the Secretary for his approval
and apportionment of funds. Next
comes budget processing, which will
take about four weeks. Then the prof.
ect will be turned back to the Bureau
for construction.
HEARINGS
Senator Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.)
advises the BINS that his subcommit-
zee to investigate Juvenile delin-
luency is planning two Montana
hearings ON the problems affecting
indian youth. Tentative plans call
or the subcommittee to be in Billings
IN August 25 and in Browning Au-
rust 27. Senator William LANCER (R-
