What do / get out of home

the pleasure of meeting with my
friends and finding out what is
new and smart for home maker,
for her house, her family and her
self.
What do l get out of a home
demonstration Club? How often in
non-interested way, We ask this
question in hopes of an excuse for
lack of personal effort to join a
group in our community. Like a
savings account, the interest from
our investments puts the desire to
increase our funds for further
gain. So too, club membership is
the interest that gives us the de-
sire to gain in knowledge the
wealth of learning from demon
strations.
We meet with our local Home
Agent or one of the Special Prof.
ect Leaders while she Demon.
strates an easier way to do house
hold task; create a pretty as we'll
as useful article; or some new art
or touch to help in our personal
grooming or clothing problems.
If, in the course of a year we
learn and use just one idea, we
have that new gain. And by use
and example, we influence our
family circle and friends to use the
better ideas we have received.
Take club of twenty members
there are approximately 20 ideas
learned. Multiply this by Demon
stration Clubs all over. One can
see how demonstration clubs do
help the homemaker.
What do l get out of home

all the interest 1 put into it. What
is more, how to meet with and be
a member of a group like "The

WHAT KIND OF MEMBER
ARE YOU?
Are you an active member, the
kind that would be missed?
Or are you just contented that
your name is on the list?
Do you attend the meetings and
mingle with the flock?
Or do you stay at home and criti-
CHE and knock?
Do you take an active part to help
the work along,
or are you just satisfied to be the
kind that "just belong?
Do you ever go to visit a member
that is sick
Or leave the work to just a few
and talk about the clique?
There's quite program scheduled
that I'm sure you've heard about,
And we'll appreciate it if you will
come and help us out,
So come to the meetings often and
help with hand and heart,
Don't just be member, but take
an active part.

IN THIS AGE of electronic communica-
ton, jet planes, rocket missiles and atomic
energy, the earth does not seem nearly as
large as it did to our reat-grandfathers. AS
a matter of fact, when it comes to elbow
room, it isn't nearly as large as it used to be
because rapidly increasing populations are
filling up many of the great open spaces of
few generations ago.
When we contemplate some of the new
discoveries our astronomers are making, the
earth becomes, in fact, mere speck in the
universe And even the number of dollars
in the national debt seems insignificant when
compared with the number of stars and other
heavenly bodies that can be seen through
modern telescopes.
The big 2OO-incher at Mount Palomar,
California, for instance, can detect tiny
patch of light in the northern sky about q
100000, 900, OOO, 100000, 900 miles away.
This patch of light is actually vast system
of stars comparable to the whole Milky Way
of which the solar system is an infinitesimal
part And it is only one of countless similar
galaxies visible through the telescope.
The astronomers tell us that these stars
are moving outward into the unknown of
infinity at speed of $4,000 miles per Sec

FARMERS AREN'T THE only ones who
are confronted by difficult surplus prob
lens. College presidents and faculty mem
bers, too, are losing sleep over the looming
surplus of students clamoring for higher
education.
EnrollmentS at colleges and universities
all over the country have increased far more
rapidly than have the teaching STATS and
physical facilities at these institutions.
Some schools have been forced to turn
students away in large numbers. Others are
trying desperately to accommodate all the
qualified young people who wish to enroll.
All of the colleges will soon be compelled
to rigidly control the number of students, or
fall back on mass Instruction. procedures
with an inevitable lowering of the quality of
education they provide. They will have to
resort to one or the other of these highly
undesirable procedures unless they receive
prompt and substantial increases in finan-
cial support.
Take our own Montana State College,
for example The enrolment there has in
creased 40 per cent in the last two years But
there has been comparatively little increase
in financial support from the state in recent
years for employing more instructors, for
maintaining salary schedules that will en-
able the institution to hold the good edu-
Gators now on the faculty, or for new build
ings that are desperately needed.
Most mothers and fathers agree on the
Importance of higher education for their
children. But if these advantages are to be
maintained on satisfactory level in Mon
tana, as we'll as in other states, there will
have to be a very substantial increase in the
financial support for the colleges and the
universities.
To provide for urgently needed enlarge
ments of some of the present buildings, as

A Crisis In Higher Education

well as for essential new buildings at the
different units of Montana'S University SyS-
tenn, the State Board of Education has au-
thorized the executive council presidents to
proceed with a $15,000,00 initiative bond
measure to be placed on the ballot for the
general election in November.
The law requires that at least per cent
of the registered voters of the state in two
fifths of the counties must sign a petition
for such an initiative measure and petitions
must be filed in the office of the Secretary
of the State by July if the measure is to APP
pear on the ballot.
This means that the supporters of this
educational building measure are going to
have to do an almost miraculous job of con-
tacting voters and securing the required
number of signatures before this early dead
line is reached. The petitions are being ac-
lively circulated all over the state and it is
to be hoped that the campaign workers will
receive the wholehearted cooperation of the
citizens
When this first task of securing the
necessary signatures is completed, the
voters will have period of four months in
which to consider this urgent university
Uu1luI1lS p1OUlSlIl. OSCd11Su Will
be made available during this time and
when the people are fully informed about
the critical building situation, there seems
little doubt that the bond measure will be
approved at the November election.
But unless the required number of sigma
lures are secured for the petitions, the
measure will not even appear on the ballot
and it will not be until 1859 that any relief
can be secured from building bond issue.
The people of Montana have always
given strong support to higher education.
There is every reason to believe that the
present critical situation will be met in a
similarly favorable manner

tinueS to make progress. The first radiated
foods may start appearing in stores in the
next two or three years. However, it now
seems probable that radiation will be used
as supplement to refrigeration, rather than
as a replacement. Meats treated with light
dose of radiation have much longer shelf
life under refrigeration. But some meats
and other foods lose their natural flavors If
given too much. So you'll probably have
plenzy of use for your refrigerator and
freezers for long time to come.
Research scientists are experimenting
with an internal treatment for control of
cattle grubs. The animals are fed an or
ganic phosphate chemical. The chemical gets
into the animals system, finds the grubS
wherever they are located and kills them.
Before releasing the process for general use,
the chemists want to make sure that the
compound is not injurious to the animals
health. They must also determine whether
any residue of the chemical remaining in
milk or meat might be harmful to humans.
Early indications are that the new method
will prove both safe and effective.
Neither congressman nor farm organiza-
ton leaders are satisfied with present farm
legislation as satisfactory answer to the
farm price problem. The subject will again
be a very live issue at the next session of
Congress.
When Secretary Benson set July 20 as
the date for the vote on wheat quotas, he
made no mention of the price support level
for next year. The law requires the Secre-
tary to announce the minimum support rate
prior to the planting season eff it is prac-
teal to do So" He announced the support
rate ahead of the referendum last year. But
two years ago when growers voted, they
knew only that the rate would be some
where between rs per cent and 90 per cent
of parity. The USDA officials indicate that
no decision has been reached as to whether
the support level for 1857 will be announced
before the referendum date.
Population of this country by 1875 may
go as high as 228 million people, a 38 per
cent increase over our 1855 population, ac-
cording to federal statisticians. 1t is also eS-
timated that per capita consumption of meat
in 1875 will be at least per cent greater
than in 1855 On the basis of these statistics,
the National Meat Board predicts that it
will take 1873 billion pounds of meat to feed
the people of America in 1875. This would
represent an increase in meat production of
~ per cent over 1855.

Some Astronomy for Your Ego

ond. Their light, recorded by the aStrono-
mers today, started on its way toward the
earth at a speed of 1876, 900 miles second
about $50 million years ago.
But, far ranging as is this Mount Palo-
mar telescope, scientists are developing new
electronic devices which will extend the ''big
eyes" range into space at least two-and-a-
half times It will enable astronomers to
move the frontiers of creation farther out
ward by at least 5000, 100000, 100000, 0O0,-
900 miles to the point where objects are
moving outward at speed close to 100000
miles a second.
The next time your neighbor gets a little
too 'big for his pants" or your own ego is
becoming bit over-inflated, you might re-
call some of these astronomical figures.
And on some other occasion when your
spirit needs a bit Of uplifting, it may be well
to remember that it is the mind and magma
ton of mere man on earth that makes this
partial but marvellous vision of the universe
possible.

BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Whenever I teach classes Of
business women I discover that
while they are interested in
correcting figure defects, their
main concern is with nervous
tension which is reflected in
muscle tension. This is even
truer of the business woman
than of the one in the home.
The woman in the home
moves about more. Many
women in Offices sit in the
same position much of the day.
Also, the woman in the home
CAN lie down for a few min
utes when she wants to, no
matter how hectic her day
may be. This tenseness from
which Office workers suffer
usually is centered in the
shoulders, the upper spine, or
the back of the neck. There
are wonderful exercises for
