Southern Europe Offers
Sun at Bargain Prices

Many of Europe's most tempt
ing travel bargains lie within
the southern tier Of countries
stretching from Portugal to
GREECE and Turkey and includ-

dering the Mediterranean and
Adriatic.
Summer fingers long in these
lands and spring comes early,

cationland for those who prefer
to cross the Atlantic during the

In the rural areas of Portu-
gal. can be found dozens of de-
lightful fishing villages and vine

can live cheaper than can one

example, first-class accommoda-
tions for two come to only $6.25,
with all meals and wine included.

parties, most of them freshmen,
were drawn into a coalition with
leftwingers. This coalition, unre-
alistic from the start, disintegrat-
ed the first time a sharp econom-
ic issue was raised.
In the Montana political YER
~nacular the Company" - the
Observation-Disclosures Power group
- has been reputedly the most
powerful force in controlling cleo
tions and legislatures, and hence
is not infrequently the target of
politicians who think this is the
way to get places. Aside from
those motivated by personal po-
litical aspirations, there are others
who seem to feel important if
they go out and choose" what
ever "big interest" or special
interest" there may be in their
community.
I have in mind Lincoln county
in the northwestern corner of
the state. Lincoln county surpasses
all others in Montana in forest
products production. The J. Neils
Lumber company, as humane a
corporation as one will ever en-
counter anywhere, is the big op-
orator in the Kootenai - the "big
interest" Without the Neils pay
roll and the business resulting
from the Neils operations, Lincoln
county would indeed have a puim-
tive and impoverished economy
and there would be little more
than a scattering of "backwoods"
population.
Yet there are people in Lincoln
county, notably politicians, who
overlook no opportunity to try to
hamstring the J. Neils Lumber
company, without which they
probably would not be able to
make a living in Lincoln county.
Elsewhere in the state one can
find comparable situations.
In varying degree, every CO.
nomic interest in Montana is a
special interest. In Montana's eco
nomic progress and stability, we
need more, rather than fewer, Of
these special interests. This need
is indicated if the state is to
achieve a fuller development of
its diverse natural resources. AL
though / do not always agree with
some of the methods of the
Company" political managers, I
wish Montana had more special
interests of this scope.
If, as alleged, the Anaconda
Montana Power group is first in
influence in the legislature, there
is a farmer-labor combine that
is certainly a close second and
sometimes is first. And when it
comes to a legislative showdown,
the school interests of Montana
have demonstrated more than
once that they are the most po-
tent group in the state.

NO TINE TO WORK

An interesting item was recent
ly published in The Chattanooga
Times, and it explained how the
average person spends his life.
To begin with, he spends one
third of his life asleep. He spends
another four years talking with
people, but women spend five
years in conversation with 9TH
erS.
\. A man, it is estimated, uses
about five months of his life
time trying to tie his shoe laces.
He spends another five years
washing and shaving, and up to
four years in smoking up a
quarter of a ton of tobacco.
Telephone calls require one
year of the average life span,
and some six months are spent
playing cards.
Six years are spent eating and
drinking, and three years are
spent being sick. For the average
person, about five years are spent
in going to and from work. and
this figure is likely to go up as
IllOlG IlOfC W LlC ClliCS anu dS
the cities grow larger and larger.
The main point in all of this
tabulating is that, after we spend
all these years doing these things,
very little is left for working.
The time consumed, in all the
above pursuits approaches fifty
years, and, therefore probably less
than twenty years are left for
working, when it is considered
there are many other time-con-
sumers not included in the above.
In all of the items listed, it may
be seen that the greatest oppor-
tunity for ~time-saving is to be
found in the field of smoking,
travelling to and from work and
tying ones shoe laces. Also a
great deal of time can be saved
if one washed and shaved less.
We suggest that those who do
not want to stop smoking should
ease up on telephone c~onversat-
tons, shoe-lace-tying and wash
ing and shaving. If, however, you
wish to smoke, and want to wear
shoes with laces, then we suggest
you work at home. The ideal
situation would be to work at
home, not smoke, not wear shoes
laces and not to wash too
often.

about special interests, without
comprehensively defining these
interests, is hardly a substitute
for hard and Unconditional fact IN
weighing public issues. II would
be much better for Montana, Just
as it would be better for the
whole nation, if demagoguery
were excluded from political cam
paign and legislative debate. But
elimination of demagoguery IN
any significant degree is not to
be expected until a very much
higher percentage of citizens Will
take the trouble to become more
thoroughly informed on govern
mental matters and on the de-
vices and deceits of politics.
A hopeful and practical step in
that direction is the Boys State
and the Girls State conducted an
nually under sponsorship, respect
lively, of the American Legion
and the Legion auxiliary. Here
the young people r competent
ly instructed, although not as
thoroughly as is desirable, in the
purposes, rudfnents and mechan-
les of state and local government.
Surely this is valuable training
for adult citizenship, a preparation
for the time when high school
students of today will be par
ticipating in public affairs a few
years hence.
Our WI special interests,
whatever they may be, may clash
with the special interests of 9TH
ers. But there is one special in
terest on which we can all be
in accord - special interest in
government.

MARCH, 1856

ANIL 1SJo
With rushing winds and gloomy
skies
The dark and stubborn Winter
dies;
For, off unseen, Spring family
cries,
Bidding her earliest child arise;
March.
-Bayard Taylor.
Now comes March on the scene
of 1856, and after it has spent
itself, one-fourth of the year will
have passed. 1t seems that 1856
began only a few days ago, but
now that March is upon us,
Spring is not far behind.
Spring this year comes on
March goth, at ten-twenty-one in
the morning, when the sun enters
Aries, which marks the Vernal
Equinox. Thus Spring comes early
this year, some two days earlier
than has been the case in many
recent years.
March is named for the ancient
Roman deity, Mars, known as the
God of War, although some au-
thorities claim he was originally
the God of Vegetation. The Anglo
Saxons used to call March Lenc-
ten-monath, which meant length
ening month, for the days grew
noticeably longer in March
The Dutch called March Lent
Maand, which also refers to the
longer days. The expression, Mad
as a March hare" also takes note
of the fact that frightening days
affect the temperaments of ami
mails and the growth of plants.
Many Americans are unaware
that, in early days, the year be-
gan in March In colonial times,

tended over a period between

Helena - In Montana, as else
where in the nation, the battles
in the political arenas are basical-
ly conflicts between special in
terests. These include industrial
commercial, agricultural and la
Dor interests. In the ascendency
and entrenchment of one interest,
another interest may e a threat
to its existence or prosperity. But
overriding all others is the special
interest of each individual.
On election day, people are
more likely to vote for what they
believe to be their economic or
social interests than they are apt
to vote for political labels as
such. OF course, there are per-
sons, Democrat or Republican,
who seem to consider it a virtual
ly objectionable sin to mark
their ballot for a candidate on
the other ticket, but there are
relatively few of them these days.
The term special interest" is
badly abused, just as some fell
lows who shout that they are lib
erals are not liberals at all, and
those who castigate as a 'reac-
tionary" anyone who does not
agree with them on political and
economic questions. This appears
to be the prevailing attitude of
leftwing leadership. But let not
the pot call the kettle black. For
there II rightwingers (they call
themselves conservatives), who,
amply possessed of worldly goods,
are inclined to brand as a radi-
cal anyone who through political
Or legislative means tries to re-
move his worries of insecurity.
Just as the term special interest"
is abused, so also is the term
free enterprise"
In the houses of our legislature,
organization is on partisan politi-
cal lines. This is important to the
extent that the party dominating
each house gets the committee
chairmanships and has a majority
on the committees. But from that
point on, the legislators reflect
their economic concepts and in
erests more than they do parti-
san political policies, unless those
policies happen to coincide. In the
1855 assembly, for example, at
least one high Democratic state
official publicly denounced sew
eral Democratic house members
as party traitors because on oil
lease legislation they voted diff
ferentlY than these officials had

This ''disablement" signalling
system has been provided for in

may be sure it is in the minds of
the auto manufacturers who are
searching for something new (es-
pecially in safety features) for
their 1857 models.
The Sidney herald., 1956-03-01
WHAT NEXT?

WHAT NEXT?
This second half of the present
decade may well be recorded IN
the history books as the highway
l~ife-saving era. Most notable in
the 1856 model cars, and in the
manufacturers claims for them,
are their safety features. Within
months, the radical idea of air
plane safety-belts was accepted
by motorists as a common sense
addition to improved brakes and
steering. The advantages of more
easily operated controls and of
flexible steering wheels with
deeply offset hubs to protect the
drivers thorax were Immediately
recognized. From windshields to
tires, Improvements have under
scored survival.
These new safety" models have
spurred fresh interest in high
way traffic signals and lighting,
radar speed control, uniformity
and reflectorization of stop,
turn, "slow" and other warning
signs; have aroused new concern
for the proper examination of
prospective drivers and developed
improved techniqueS and fool
proof new testing equipment for
vision and driver-reaction.
Next comes the "disablement
flare" that provides automatically
flashing lights at all four corners
of a vehicle stopped on or near
the highway. Actually, this safe
~ Improvement involves nothing
more than an additional switch
installed in the turn-signal sys-
tenn that causes all four of these
lights to flash simultaneously.
Literally speaking, this safety
feature of tomorrow is here NOW,
since hundreds of thousands of
installations have been made
thus far. The great majority are
on trucks. This is because both
ice and state regulations require
truckers to set out pot torches,
electric lanterns or portable re-
Electors when stalled on or near
the road . and there have been
numerous crashes and drivers
have been killed while in the
act of getting the warning lights
out or taking them in. AS a re-
suit, the American Trucking As
sociations formally recommend
that: Turn signals shall be wired
in such a manner that they will
flash simultaneously to indicate
vehicle disability"
Certainly such protection is no
less desirable for the family car.
Death is just as permanent, and
INJURIES just as painful whether
you crash in the dark into a 20
ION truck or a two ton passenger
automobile. And to be marooned
