At the doorstep of one of Montana
largest cities is a permanent fringe
area settled by Indian people, some
with family traditions leading back
five generations to the shores of the
Great Lakes However, the cOlorful
traditions of their ancestors that in
Spired beautiful stories and lovely
melodies have long since become
stories of Illustration, sickness, starva-
ton and misery, and the mournful
tune that would accompany a saga of
their life today would be sad, indeed.
For 20 years Hill 81, five miles from
the city center of Great Falls, has been
inhabited by partially mobile group
of Indians. The population ranges as
high in number as 375 people (some-
times more, depending on the season
and economic condition on reservations
and in other parts of the state).
1t probably matters little to the
still depressed population on Hill 81
that today they are making history,
but to their children events of today
could have terrific impact if the
United States Congress and the peo-
pie of the nation listen to their story
and determine to do something
about it.
In 1945 Richard Shipman, then vice presi-
dent of the Montana Farmers Union, brought
go the attention of the Congress and the nation
the conditions of Indians living off the reser-
Walton by presenting data available about
Hill ST. Since that time there has been no
let-up On efforts to do something about the
situation.
Under the guidance of Sister Providencia,
T. c. S. P, College of Great Falls, her sociol-
ogy department has carried on a research
program that has reached deep into the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, has commanded the
spectful attention of Montanas senators,
Murray and Mansfield, and Congressman Met
calf and has been read across the nation
through the Congressional Record.
Pressures, created through efforts Of the
present administration in Washington to
eliminate the reservation status of Indians
everywhere in the nation accentuated what has
been, for many years shadow on the ma
tional conscience" A good look was taken at
the conditions of the Indian on and off the
reservation.
The most significant fact coming out of the
surveys and materials presented to Congress
and through the press of the nation is, prob
ably, that the Indian who has not been able
to make go of it on the reservation finds
himself even less prepared to cope with con-
ditions off the reservation, and therefore The
problem must be considered as a group-from
a "total approach.
Events of the past two years have Gre
ated an awareness that longer be
ignored of the problem that has to be met
on the county, state and national level.
Bearing in mind that Hill 81 in Great Falls
pictures local situation, but this same situa-
ton exists many places in this country where
Indians move from the reservation to try and
make living, let us take look at the enorm-
ity of the problem. Il saw the same conditions

To Boost Funds
For Parkway

Fairfax County has been asked
to provide an extra $125,000 i'm
mediately for acquiring rights
of-way for the George Washing
ton parkway extension to the
Central Intelligence Agency site
at Langley.
The county already has set
aside $125 900 for its one-quarter
share of the cost, but estimates
by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission show this is
only half enough. The extension
would carry the parkway from
the Arlington County line to the
CHA site, a distance of about two
miles.
In a telephone conversation
yesterday with Harvey Mitchell,
assistant to the Fairfax County
executive. James A. Anderson,
Virginia Highway Commissioner,
asked an additional appropria-
ton from Fairfax.
CHA Asks Commitment
Mr.. Anderson said the State
Highway Department has re-
ceived a letter from Allen w.
Dulles, CHA director. asking for
a commitment of State and local
funds for the rights-of-way.
Mr.. Dulles pointed out that
Federal funds are available for
construction of the $50 million
agency headquarters and for the
parkway. State and local match
ing funds for the rights-of-way
must be committed before the
road extension can be gotten
underway.
The State has appropriated
l$125,000 as its one-quarter
share, but that also will have
to be doubled. Mr.. Anderson
said he would ask the Governor
to authorize the highway de-
partment to carry the extra
funds as a budget deficit until
the General Assembly can make
an additional appropriation.
Board to Get Request
He said this would permit the
State to commit its additional
funds Immediately if the county
appropriates its extra $125, 600
After comforting with County
Executive Carlton c. Massey,
who is on vacation, Mr.. Mitchell
told Mr.. Anderson that his re-
quest would be brought before
the Board of County Supervis-
ors at its next scheduled meeting
September s..
Officials said they didn't know
where the extra funds would
come from. However, revised
county property assessment fig
ures released Monday showed
the county would get about
$l84.0 more tax funds in fiscal
1867 than was anticipated
when the budget was approved
