There are still $4,000 Arab refugees in the Middle East,
though nine years have gone by since the war between Israel
and the Arab states. These refugees, victims of past unrest,
are an important contributory cause to present-day tension.
Almost half of them live in camps operated by NRW
Omitted Nations Relief and Works Agency and they have lit
tie hope of finding permanent homes in the near future.
Others live in tents or in villages in GAIA, Jordan, Lebanon
and Syria.
Supported entirely by voluntary contributions from gov
ernments and individuals, UNRWA supplies a daily ration
to all of the refugees. In addition to providing welfare, ser
vices, the Agency has initiated a wide variety of educational,
agricultural and commercial activities to help the refugees
earn their living and to train them for future OBJ
opportunities.

Investigation disclosed that Mrs.

Just about that time the fire
truck was circling the wharf and
sped off to the scene, with a
second following shortly after.
During this time, Mr. Diaz
hearing the knocking inside, tried
to break the lock off the door
without success. Fire Chief Lloyd
Canegata arrived in time and
with an axe knocked off the

man tumbled out and rolled as if
he were a. ball. He was iden-

In the storeroom were new
chairs, still uncrated, for installa-

machines, loudspeakers, films and
several other miscellaneous items,
which were now blazing. In a
manner that shows the result Of

every item in the storeroom was
destroyed, but the building was
saved.

Frederick p. Carlson, 35-year-
old Outlook area rancher, was
killed early Friday when his car
left Montana Highway 16 about
% miles south Of Sidney and

WOMEN
HEAR KOCH ON
LAWS

County Attorney Victor Koch
was guest speaker Monday af-
ternoon at the regular meeting
of the Woman's Republican club.
MI. Koch explained the laws
which we have at present con-
corning juveniles. He stated the
need for a revision of these laws
soon. He explained the proba-
ton officers job and the follow
up Mr.. Nelson must do to round
out his work.
Mr.. Koch then discussed the
juvenile problems in Richland
county. He stated that only So
of children of juvenile age ever
get into trouble, and of that per-
cent many are rehabilitated. He
pointed out most clearly that the
original trouble is seldom the
fault of the child, but rather it
stems from lack of parental SUI
pervision at home, and said that
many of the case histories bear
this out.
Mr.. Koch commended that many
organizations in our town that are
sponsoring programs to help chill
dren fill up idle time with clean
and objective play.
He noted that boys ranches
end homes as we'll as foster par
ents are being used more and
more as instruments Of rehabili-
tation.
The meeting was completed
with a short talk by Mrs. R. S.
Mutt. Coffee was served by Mrs.
Nutter and Mrs. H. d. Carlson.

Billings will be the site Mon
day, December 9, of a hearing
on wage rates and prices for the

Agriculture's proposal which was
published in the Federal Register
of October %, 1857. An exhibit
and explanatory statement con-
corning this proposal is available

nation for consideration of the
secretary in determining fair
prices and wages. One condition
which producers must meet to
qualify for payments under the
Sugar Act of 1948 is to pay wage
rates not less than those deter
mined to be fair and reasonable

hearing and investigation. The
act also provides, as a condition
for payment, that producers who
process sugar beets grown by
other producers must pay prices
determined by the secretary to
be fair and reasonable.
The Billings hearing will be
the only n in Montana, Kolstad
said. Other hearings in this series
will be at Detroit, Fargo, Salt

Gov. Aronson
Story in Saturday
Evening Post

Governor j. Hugo Aronson is
featured in this weeks issue of
the Saturday Evening Post, Pat
Lee, publicity and information di-
rector for the Montana Chamber
of Commerce, said today. The
story, entitled "Montana's Gallop-
ing Swede," is written by Paul
Healy, a Washington, D. c. news
paperman and free-lance maya
zine writer.
The Post story begins with the
Governors account of how he dis
covered Columbus" when a
friendly brakeman on the freight
train he was riding suggested
somewhat firmly that Aronson
leave the train at that Montana
townsite. Healy tells how the
Governor still expresses his graft
tude to the railroader, who was
responsible for his settling in
Montana.
The article traces the Cover
nor's career as ranch and farm
hand, homesteader, oil field work.
er and oil rig operator, freight
trucker and rancher-farmer.
Healy also traces the Governors
political career from city coun-
Gil to the Governors chair.
The story of the Swedish farm
boy who migrated to the United
States, settled in Montana, and
became its governor vas told sew
eral years ago in a much shorter
rational magazine article, Lee
said. The Voice of America has
dramatized it for broadcast
seas. In commenting On the arti-
Gle Governor Aronson says he
and his family are flattered by
it, but that he takes no credit for
his achievements. Anything I
have DONE" says the Governor,
"can be traced to the wonderful
opportunities offered by this great
country"
Lee said that the article will
bring nationwide publicity to
Montana and underlines the OPP
portunities which can still be found
in the Treasure State. Millions Of
readers will learn more about
Montana, her friendliness, her
beauty and her industries, from
reading Paul Healy's story he
pointed out.
Some of the Governors favor
tie stories about his early trouble
with English and his Montana ca
reer are included in the article,
which is illustrated with two
Montana photographs.
Healy also explains how the
Governor received his nickname,
the "Galloping Swede," during his
days as a helper in Montana's oil
fields.

which comes mainly from lack

the rebounding and steady play
of guard Dale Winter.
