go back ii years, you will find
that property taxes have increas-

1t was pointed out that in

are the victims of the system we

ties and in others the provisions

Thousands of the now familiar

which contributors can fill to

hundreds of boys and girls in
the 59-year-old home and hos
pital devoted entirely to caring
for Montana's children.
Last year the home and hos
pital cared for 584 children which
took 4,072 days of home care
and 9,285 days of hospital a

Generally, students must be be-
tween 10 and % years of age.
They may receive up to SO
months of education, during
which time they will get VA al
lowances of up to $110 a month.
Application for War Orphans
schooling should be made at the
nearest VA Regional Office, NOT
at VA District Office or VA
headquarters in Washington, D.
G.
Before starting school, appli-
cants must receive VAS voca-
tional counseling to help them
decide upon an educational pro-
gram.
Meanwhile, VA reported fall
enrollments of veterans under the
Korean CT Bill show signs of
setting a new record. On Novem-
Der / - with complete fall en-
rollment figures still not in - the
total had passed $685. 00 or IL
percent above the $4,000 veter-
an-trainees reported a year ago.
VA expects total fall enrollments
to approach the three-quarter-
million mark.
Question of the Week:
@. Is it possible for a young
man or woman to take a regular
high school education under the
War Orphans Schooling program?
A. No. The law prohibits regu-
lar high school studies under the
program. Below : college - level
courses may be taken only if they
offer specialized vocational train
ing that equips students for a
vocational goal.

Gan address given before the
Montana Wool Growers As
ISOLATION Dec. Z, 1856, at
Billings, M0ntana):
Financial demands far in ex-
cess Of available revenue will be
made on Montana's legislature
during this coming session, S.
Keith Anderson, Executive Sec
rotary of the Montana Taxpayers
Association, told the Montana
Wool Growers Association. "If
we analyze the various legisla-
tive programs, we come up with
some startling facts. The total
which the educational programs
alone suggest we need for higher
education and the public schools,
is an amount in excess of the
total revenue collected for the
general fund for the State of
Montana for the last two years.
We know that in order to pre-
vent further deficiency levies ON
local property it will take over
$17,000,000 from the state equal
ization fund to finance the foun-
dation program now on the books
for the next legislative biennium.
Any increase in the foundation
program schedules will, of course,
increase the states obligation
above the $17,000,000 figure. We
can also fully expect additional
appropriation requests from the
other units of our state admins
tration which will further COM
plicate Montana's financial prob

Before that, the game had been
marked with Illustrations for

Led by Jim Bakhtiar, the 300
pound Iranian fullback who
learned his football in Washing
ton. the Cavaliers proved they
could move on the ground. They
got to the Keydet 8 and then
took to passing, which was a mis-
take. Later they got to the 26,
but a clipping penalty and three
more passes stopped that. Still
another time. with Bakhtiar
making 80 yards in three carries.
the Cavaliers went from their

stopped by a holding penalty and
three passes. The first two passes
were incomplete, the third one
complete to Bill Nebraska. the
opposing quarterback.
Late in the fourth quarter, a
Bakhtiar-led drive carried to the
IVMI 20. From here the former
Western High and Bulls Prep

covered for the Keydets.

BY GEORGE HUBER

The FIRST team" and second
team" designations are missing
from George Washington's foot
ball vocabulary now as q result
of the way things went in Sat-
Iurday's opener.
Coach DO Sherman plans few,
liz any, changes in the lineups of
what were known as the first
and second teams. and says that
from now on Wen have Just

going best at the moment"
Sherman. in fact. could be ex-
cused If he reversed the designa-
tons entirely. because it was the
so-called second team that was
responsible for this victory.
! Every player who got a call in
the game came from the No. 2
unit. Quarterback Jack Henzes
directed the winning drive and
he tossed the 43-yard pass to set
up the score he made himself.
Halfback Pete Spera caught that
important pass and was GW's
big ground gamer otherwise as
well as kicking the very impor-
tant extra point. Ted Colna, the
other No. 2 halfback, came up
with the games only tumble re-
covery to start the Colonials of
on their winning drive. Jack
Kesock. a No. 2 end, made the
only pass interrogation Of the
game to halt a serious Miami
threat.
! Spera's pass catch was a thing
Of beauty. Henzes threw the
ball like a catcher rifling a shot
to second base, and Spera barely
was able to catch it by the tail
as it sailed over him.
Statistically, Miami more OF
less controlled the game except
on the scoreboard, but penaltieS
hurt the Redskins. Several drives
were stopped by holding penal
ties, and another holding penal
/ ty made the Redskins repeat
their extra-point try after MAX
ing the first one, and that Sec
ond kick Just did fall short.
