FAMOUS FABLES
IMPROVEMENT,
BY Z. z. EDGAR

IMPROVEMENT: spanish
cellist Pablo Casals is an uncom-
promising perfectionist, con-
stantly striving to improve his
interpretations. On occasion,
however, this has led to more
confusion than improvement.
When he was TO appear as
soloist with a symphony orches-
ira, he gave a flawless perform
ance at the afternoon rehearsal,
During the concert that eve
ming, however, he played several
passages in an entirely different
manner.
The conductor asked him what
had gone wrong.
Nothing went wrong" said
Casals. Il thought II would
sound better with the changes
We must never stop looking for
the better way"
Even in the middle OF a
concerto" demanded the con-
ductor.

Each case of insomnia is a
problem peculiar to itself. The
doctor needs to question care
fully-and the patient must an

where there may be a clue.
In my own experience with
patients, the following are some
of the reasons for insomnia. You
may be overworking without
realizing it. (You think you
leave your work at the Office, but
you really take it home with
you) You may be suffering from
chronic fatigue-and attribute IL
Simply to lack Of pep. You may
think you are relaxing in bed

Whatever the cause, it must be
found-and removed. While the

NOn-vaccmates IN
State Urged to
Get Polio Shots

Helena - In Montana only 61To
OF the priority group (those un-
der 20 years of age and expect
ant mothers) have received any
OF the polio-immunizing vaccine,
a report released today by the
State Board of Health revealed.
In a tabulation CT vaccine use
through October 20, DR.. G.. D.
Carlyle Thompson, executive Of
flcer of the State Board of Health,
notified Montana physicians and
pharmacies that "Only through a
iarge-scale movement of public
interest to seek vaccine in No
vember and early December will
II be possible for a high percen-
tage of the non-vaccinates, es-
pecially the more susceptible un-
DEF = 20 age group, to complete
the dosage schedule before the
next polio season. Every effort is
needed to obtain this objective,
before it is too late"
BY counties there is a wide
range in the percentage of the
priority population receiving even
the minimal protection of one
shot. In Richland County, 800 of
the priority group has received
at least one shot; in Pondera
9l%; in Prairie county, $3.50.
Only go of the priority group
in Judith Basin county has re-
ceived at least one shot. In Gran
lite county only 40 in Petroleum
county none are reported.
The estimates in the county
are based on (1) the number of
cubic centimeters of vaccine re-
ported used by physicians thru
September, (including delayed
reports; (2) the number of Cos
of vaccine shipped to the county
through October 20; and go
unused or unreported used vac
cine as Of October 20.
There are an estimated 255 $50

group: under 20 and expectant
mothers. The report estimates that
153,437 (61%) of the priority
group have received at least one
shot of polio vaccine.
On September 8 all restrictions
were removed by the State Board
of Health for persons receiving
polio vaccine. Any person wish
ing the immunizing vaccine can
purchase it through pharmacies
and physicians. Age limits are,
by law, still observed for persons
receiving the shots free under
the public immunization program

said, lit is clear that the number
of paralytic polio in the vacci-
mated group is at a rate 800 to

Helena - In broad implications
and impact on the future no
problem confronting the 35th leg
iSlative assembly viii be more
important than dealing with the
factors that contribute to .juven-
lie waywardness. This is a moral
problem and it is a social prob
lem, and as such it is a problem
for which the adult population
cannot escape responsibility.
Through an act of the 1855 leg
islature, the Montana child well
fare advisory committee was e
ated. District Judge w. w. Less
ley of Bozeman, whose interest
in child welfare is outstanding,
is chairman. The vice chairman IS
Rep. j. Miller Smith (now sena-
tor = elect) of Lewis and Clark
county. He sponsored the legis-
lation creating the committee. For
years he has worked diligently
for the detectives sought to be
achieved by the committee.
The committees report to the
1857 legislature should be care
fully studied by every Montana
legislator - in fact by everyone
concerned with juvenile delin-
quency and its causes. 1t seems to
me that the report shows delib-
crate restraint in not bluntly
stating the naked truth about
the responsibility of all too
many adults regarding the things
that lead youngsters into erring
w3ys.
Every now and then there is
in Montana, as elsewhere, an
alarming example of youth on
The rampage. Whenever that hap
pens the reaction of the adult
community ranges from indigna-
ton and blaming the parents to
struggling il off as merely anoth-
case of juvenile indiscretion.
But what it really adds up to in
many instances is the commune
failure in duty.
Through the committees report
is woven the thread of thought
the the solution of the juve-
nile delinquency problem is basic
ally one of preventive concepts
and measures. Why do young
get off on the wrong track?
That is a fundamental question.
And the answer is fundamental
90. The root is in the home, in
he community, in the attitude of
toward morality and the
tights of others. AT the bottom
If it all is bad example, materi-
llism, ignoring restraints impos-

When children are taught by in

Efforts Compound
Farm Problem

MANY YEARS AGO, as you may
remember, I frequently wrote letters
to editors because they made me mad,
but this letter was prompted by being
made glad.
Your highly pertinent comments in
the April 1 issue on ga Surplus of
Bullheadedness" in handling the farm
bill and Social Security for Cats" pin
pointed the defects in do-gOOders' eff
forts to make life more roseate for the
gullible but less so for the goat-the
tax payer.
The farm problem is an old one,
which probably accounts for its being
so tough.
The Biblical law of earning living
by the sweat of the brow and that Of
supply and demand have been jockeyed
to a remote position but fortunately
have not become extinct and are likely
to become more active at some future
date than at any time during the pres
ent generation.
But your two editorials impressed
me very favorably, particularly your
weIl-advance idea that the natural con-
sequences of feeding the cats would
defeat the objective of rat and mouse
determination. This feature is highly
analogous TO the long-term efforts to
solve the farm problem. If the efforts
had been made with the objective of
compounding it, they could not have
done better.
do not know exactly where we
are going but we are certainly NOV
ing along.-Harry Armstrong, Cascade
County.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-05-15

SEE so many ideas about farm
plans.
My wife and have raised nine
children to where they are able to take
care of themselves and have two 9th
ers, girl II and boy 8.
We have run our own business, made
our way and have things lot better
than when we started.
Now 1 think we can keep on and do
better than to have someone else run
it and have to pay him.
I am not ready yet to say we haven't
brains enough to run our business, nor
do I think any insurance outfit has a
right to force anyone to take its inSur-
ance without any say about the terms.
If we don't stop it, how long before
they will tell us everything we can or
cannot do?-RaymOnd Roadifer, Sum

SaIve Stops Picking

I WOULD LIKE to share my idea
with the rest of your readers.
If your chicks pick, use menthOlated
salve.
Last year had trouble with cannibal-
ism in my little chicks. had tried
many remedies I had gotten from the
drugstore and none of them seemed to
work. 1 thought would try using
mentholated salve. l put some on them
and they would pick at it and finally
decided it didn't taste so good. The
salve breaks them from picking and
also helps to heal the ones that have
been picked. l had trouble again this
year and after using it again, feel
sure it works.-MrS. Stanley TrOllOpe,
Wibaux County.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 20 GP.-A
month-long investigation Of the
Arundel Park fire, which took
II lives. showed today the blaze
was started either by a short

But spontaneous combustion
was virtually eliminated because
of physical evidence indicating

The report, submitted by a

vestigators, was turned over to
the Board of County Commits

mated at a point within the

has led to the elimination of
all sources of ignition except
