Active participation in politics can
be disillusioning, but it can also be
fascinating to one who stands on the
sidelines and watches the process.
There is no better vantage point than
the one occupied by party organiza-
ton worker. 1t is as if they were
standing in the wings of stage,
watching the changing cast play in
an absorbing drama year after year.
Of necessity and by reason of the
basic requirements of their position,
an organization worker must, to the
best of their ability maintain de-
tached view and constantly bear in
mind that they represent the organi-
zation. The fundamental purpose of
political party is to serve and help
in the election of candidates, regard
less of their high or low rank on the
ticket.
However, one must have set of
principles and convictions and the
courage to fight for them.
1t is estimated that women cast
52%o of the vote and there are 2 "
million more women voters than men.
Women do not seem to be aware of
their potential power; it is like a
sleeping giant and they should utilize
more fully the privileges which are
theirs. They have real opportunity
to serve their country and party by
active participation in party politics.
Trends of government affect their
most precious possessions and with
the long arm Of government reaching
into the family purses by way of the
tax route, women cannot afford to
stay out of politics if they want to
help share the policy of the govern
ment.
However, the most effective way
to participate in politics is through
office holding and even though |
women are supposed to be the most |
severe critics of women in public |
life, they frequently rally to the sup
port of women seeking public office.
Women are good housecleaners and
where they have served in the state !

TWO OUTSTANDING CANDIDATES

At least two of outstanding ability among those
who filed for important state offices before last Thursday
ning's deadline
Patrick j. Geather Great Falls attorney and candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General
of those two Pat served assistant attorney general under
r. V Bottom from 1911 1916 except the time spent
in service during World War H. Earlier he county at
oney his home county Petroleum. Since 1916 he has been
in private practice in Great Falls along with having served
city attorney and presently, deputy county attorney.
During Pats than 20 years of practice he has become
of the states better versed attorneys taxation In add
ton assistant attorney and since he has represented
the pubc interest telephone and railroad freight
rate we'll in oil where the States interest
involved His record such make him exceptionally well
qualified to Montanas Attorney General.
The other candidate who filed for important state office
last week who has long record of continuous devotion the
pubcs welbeng is Willard Fraser Democratic candidate
for Railroad Public Service Commissioner Willard like Pat
has also fought against the granting of nreasonaby high rate
schedules to natural and telephone monopoes If he
nominated and elected to the commission his will be strong
voice that board which will increasingly work that
the public gets square deal all utility rate matters.
Geahe and Fraser by their records deserve the electoral
support of Montana people generally both at the June
mary and at the November general election.

Women and Politics

sense of tact and diplomacy, they have
natural background for public life.
Of course women are accused of be-
ing too emotional, but a woman of
poise and sense of humor seldom al
lows her emotions to be apparent.
There are those who think it is
mans world, but the many happy
homes over the country prove that
women can get along in a mans
world Men sometimes look askance
at women in public life, but when q
woman has earned their respect, they
appreciate her advice and counsel
and are willing to cooperate in their
detectives for effective community
service.
Women have not been as diligent
as they should be in taking advantage
of the opportunity and privilege that
is theirs by voting. In 1854 a survey
in Montana revealed that the women
averaged only about 436 of those
eligible to vote; and that did not tell
the entire story as there are many
women who are not registered.
Women by nature are crusaders
and they should divert some of their
energies and thoughts to a crusade
dedicated to the government of the
United States, from the precinct level
to the national Capitol. 1t is astonish-
ing how apathetic many people are
towards party organization work, how
little they realize the satisfaction
that can be derived by serving, even
In small way, in affairs of govern
ment. Politics are never dull, never
and never repetitious.
No two campaigns and no two candi-
dates are the same. The changing
personalities and situations hold ones
interest, so that those who are seek
Ing interesting activities could find
no better field than that of politics,
either as an organization worker, or
as an office seeker. AS in everything
else, the avenue to success is not
always an easy one, so one who par

In our attempt to present variety
of people on the Montana scene we
have asked for expression from all
segments Of our society. Where the
person had a counterpart we asked
for both to participate.
The article below written by Gladys
R. Knowles, member, Republican Ma
tional Committee for Montana, is in
deed worthwhile reading and should
be encouragement for Montana wom-
en- to take part in the vital business
of government.
We asked for similar article from
Bernice Kingsbury, Democratic Ma
tional Committeewoman, but have not
as yet received it.
In a later issue we will have an
expression from Leo G. Graybill,
Democratic National Committeeman
and we are waiting for a similar ex-
preston from Wellington D. Rankin,
Leo's Republican counterpart.

This man Wall isn't exactly an

He is quite personable. Above all,

Beavers Fall, 9O-76, at Xenia, But
RecOup With 77-57 Victory Over Giffin

Bluffton colleges Beavers brought
their seasons record to two wins and
four losses as they split in two con-
tests over the week end.
Last Thursday night the locals
travelled to Xenia and were handed a
90-76 setback by the once-beaten
Marauders of Central State. The
host team got a 32-point perform
ance from Charles Jones, who took
scoring honors for the evening. Ell
bert Dubenion and Jim Buffenbarger
each Tailed 16 points for the
Beavers.
Earlier this season Central State
handed Findlay college their first
home defeat in 28 contests. The final
score was 111-97.
Coach Ken Mast had to dig deep
into his bench material Saturday
night as the Beavers gained 77-57
win over Giffin college of Van Vert.
Bluffton broke into a 17-16 lead at
the first quarter mark and increased
this to only 1878 at halftime. Then
Mast, trying to find a combination
that could hit the basket with some
degree of consistency, started to
empty the bench. The strategy paid
off as the Beavers outscored their
opponents "a to 10 in the third
period and a commanding lead.
The final quarter saw the Giffin
club hitting ID points to 16 for the
Beavers, but the damage had been
done and the locals had captured
their second victory of the season.

Foul Shot Let-DOwn, Porous Defense
Sends Pirates Off CeIina Gang Plank

Inability to hit from the free
throw line and porous defense
sent the Bluffton high school basket
ball team down to an 81-71 defeat
at the hands Of the Celina Bulldogs
at the high school gymnasium last
Friday night The loss, the second
in three Western Buckeye League
games, all but eliminated the Pirates
from league contention.
After starting the season with a
near 68 percent shooting average
for free throws the Pirates have been
growing steadily worse from the
charity line. Their plight hit new
low in the Celina contest when they
hit on but 27 Of 49 for an average
of 55 percent. Even that is a fairly
respectable average. But it was not
enough.
Probably the real turning point in
the game came when, with a little
more than two minutes remaining,
Bluffton had three charity tosses to
shoot and 64-63 lead. They miss
ed all three and a chance for a
seven-point edge Went out the
window. And, here it was that their
defense, which had not looked sharp
all evening, almost completely col
lapsed and gave the Bulldogs three
quick drive-ins that sewed up the
ball game for the visitors.
Jack Fields was the only real
bright spot in the Bluffton lineup.

night. 1t was the Cavaliers second
loss in nine games TO date. Then Sat
urday night the Redskins went past
Lima st. Rose 54-47.
Kenton brings one of the biggest
boys in the entire area here Friday
night in CT Jim Sewers. The junior
pivot man, transfer from Spring
field Public, has been averaging 1S
points per game. Big man in the
Wildcat lineup, however, is Ron Koch,
6-2 senior forward, who has been hit
ting the hoops for a respectable 20
point average Coach George Keel has
two other six-foot performers in the
lineup in Warren West and Jim Oates.
Wapakoneta is paced by Larry
Tester, 6-2 Junior, and Denny Cory,
$40 senior. These two boys led the
Redskins in their two victories over
the past weekend. Aiding them will be
Hank Stroh, 6-3 junior, who plays
the pivot for the Auglaize countians.
Coach Joe Harris said this week
his club needed these two wins. Local
fans are in agreement with him as the
Pirates have looked far off their early
season form in the past couple ball
games. At times they seem to have
forgotten all the fundamentals of the
cage sport and have appeared on oc-
casions to be thinking of everything
but the game of basketball.

from sight last Friday night with

some revenge on WBL teams this

high school gymnasium and the fol-
lowing night Wapakoneta will be en-

The revenge however, will have to
be against two rapidly improving ball

BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

Bargains have a fatal at
traction for most people. Too
often folks fail to stop and
think whether or not they need
what they are buying. Nothing
is bargain if you do not need
it or want it badly. Nothing is
a good buy unless you can af-
ford the original outlay and
the upkeep.
What good is a stunning
hairbruSh to a bald headed
man even if it is marked down
from $40 to 10 cents? What
benefit is it to a woman to get
one of the big name creations
for half the original price if
she does not have any place to
wear it?
While it is fun to go a bit
haywire sometimes in the pur-
chase of a luxury item in
clothing or some other cate
CORY, the woman who is we'll
dressed on a small or medium
budget has certain rules she
follows.
She takes into consideration
the kind of life she leads and
this dictates the type clothes
she buys. She also thinks of
the amount of money she has
to spend and the type figure
she has.
She learns to correlate so
that one group of accessories
can be worn with several out
fits. I know one woman who
has had a pair of lizard-skin
shoes and bag for 10 years
and they are still first rate.
She takes good care Of them
and sometimes puts them away
for a year or so when they
do not match any Of her
clothes. I know another who
buys very expensive hats but
uses them for years, some
times with a year or so in
between. She buys the classic
type. either the cartwheel or
the small behind-the-hair hat.
If you have the money to
invest originally I believe that
you would be wise to buy more
expensive clothes and wear
them for many years. Many
women cannot afford this,
however, and many Of them
would tire even of lovely and
costly garments.
The woman on the fairly
small clothes budget should
take many factors into con-
sideration. In the first place
some materials show wear

more quickly while others
stand up under hard wear.
There is little room for brightly

small budget because they are

Regatta Boil Is First
OF Five Such Benefits

The Washington benefit sea-
son is about to open with a
big splash-literally.
In the last few years big
dances for worthy causes have
become more and more pOpu-
lar here and already five such
events are planned for the
coming season.
Invitations have gone out
for the first one, which is the
Regatta Ball, Guy Lombardos
orchestra providing the music.
1t will take place on Septem-
Der IA at the Statler Hotel and
Is for the benefit of the District
Society for Crippled Children.
The event will take place the
evening before the Presidents
Cup Regatta and a watery
theme will predominant.
Samples Of water from all
over the world, including a
piece of a glacier from Alaska,
are being collected. They will
be mixed together at the dance
and poured in the Potomac be-
fore the sporting event. AS one
member of the group put it.
Solve pollution by dilution."
Main event at the dance will
be the GROWING OF a queen by
Chief of Naval Operations,
Admiral Arleigh Burke. There
will also be a ceremony to
return the Presidents Cup
by Guy Lombardo, who won
1t last year; songs by Polly
Bergen and a midnight break
fast.
The queen has been selected
but her identity will be kept
a secret until the 5th. There
will also be eight princesses
all Of whom have not yet been
chosen.
The decor for the party will
have an underwater motif with
seaweed, fish nets and sea
shells.
Twenty-Five hundred invita-
tons have gone out in the
names of The Presidents Cup
Regatta Association and the
District of Columbia Society
