ITO understand all the Edsel has to offer
i you, compare any car on the road today
with this completely neiD automobile.
You can recognize its classic vertical grille
and the elegant sweep Of its fight deck a
block away. And the instant you do, you
knOU there has never been car like the Edsel.
Behind it lie all the resources and engineer
ing skill of Ford Motor Company.
The results: the EdseI Is powered by the
newest va engines in the industry the Edsel
400 and the EdseI ATS. Their specifications:
400 and ATS pound-feet of t0rque; 3O3 and
3l5 horsepower; 361 and 40 cubic inches of
displacement It is unlikely you have ever
driven car with 50 much disable power.
The Edsel's big, safe brakes do not need
periodic adjustment. They adjust themselves
automatically in the course of your day-tO-
day driving.
The Edsel can shift itself. In an Edsel
equipped with Teletouch Drive, you just
touch button on the steering wheel hub.
Teletouch does the rest-smoothly. surely,
electrically. The EdseI's list Of available fea-
lures Is long. Examples: contour seats;
dial that lets you select heat, quantity and
direction of air with one twist of the wrist;
a warning signal that flashes when you ex-
coed your preset speed limit; another that
flashes when oil Is one quart low; release
that opens the luggage compartment from
the drivers seat
You win find many things that make the
Edsel different from any car you have driven.
More exciting, more sure, more safe.
What does an Edsel cost? Prices range from
Just above the lowest to just below the high
est. You can afford an Edsel. And you can
choose from four series, Is models

Gunutin Assembly
Not Officially Backing
Lehrkind Boycott

BOZEMAN-A press release from
here in recent issue of PEOPLES
VOICE was slightly in error by indi-
eating boycott against products dis
tributed by State Senator Carl Lehr-
kind was advocated" by the Gallatin
County Trades and Labor Assembly.
An official of the Assembly states
that the boycott is supported by af-
filiates of the Assembly, but as yet
the Assembly has taken no official
action on it. 1t is expected, however,
that the matter will be brought be-
fore the Assembly by interested I'M
ions in the very near future, accord
ing to this official.
An official of one local union not
actively supporting an official boy
colt describes the movement as a
Whispering campaign" conducted by
union members as individuals and
states that it is proving very effective
as an expression of resentment
against Lehrkind's attitude on legis-
lation of Importance to union men,
bers.
Leaders oil other unions state they
are actively recommending boycott
Of Lehrkind- distributed products and
that their members are favoring COM
petitive brands almost unanimously.
These officials point out that boy
colts are perfectly legal economic
weapon under Montana law and that
this is a primary boycott legal under
Taft-Hartley.
Lehrkind is local distributor of
Coca-Cola, 7-Up and Butte Beer, and
it is reliably reported that all three
products have hit sales slump in
local stores, bars, etc.

Delay Move TO Boost
Interest On REA Loans

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
The Administrator apparently does
not plan to move Immediately to boost
interest rates on loans to REA CO.
ops. Both President Eisenhower and
Budget Director Brundage have en-
dorsed such move.
Eisenhower recently urged that in
terest rates on government lending
programs should be raised if they are
below the average current cost of
borrowing by the Treasury. REA
loans at go have averaged more than
the Treasury's borrowing costs, but
the Eisenhower Administration has
greatly increased the interest it pays
to the banks for Treasury borrow
ings.
Several weeks before Eisenhower
proposed raising the interest rates on
such loans, Secretary Benson and
REA Administrator Hamil had as
sured the House Agriculture appro-
priations subcommittee that there are
no plans or studies underway or con-
templated for launching such move.
The record of these closed hearings
was made public recently.

Logan Pass May Open
BY MAY 30th

The famous Going o-the-Sun High
way, which bisects Glacier National
Park, will be open earlier than usual
this year.
J. w. Emmert, superintendent of the
park, in northwestern Montana, de-
clares that the east-west highway,
termed "the most spectacular 50-mile
drive in the world" by tourists, will
probably be clear of snow by Memo
rial Day, May 80. 1t may even be
earlier than that.
Logan Pass, midway in the 50mile
stretch and covered by 80 feet of
snow some years, is the sticker. But
park snowplows will attack the pass
two weeks earlier than usual this year
because of the milder winter. Logan
Pass is ordinarily impossible till

AZ per cent are unaccounted for).
The significant fact for Montana
taxpayers is that it costs them over
$1,000 year to train each engineer
"a conservative estimate would be
$236,000 to train the So engineers
now contributing to the economy of
other areas.
UNABLE TO FIND JOBS
The reason most of these engineers
left the state is they were unable to
find jobs in Montana which utilize
their skills. Then, too, when one is
offered job at $500 or more a month
to start, one doesn't work for $3.50
However, it is certain nearly every
one born and raised in Montana wants
to stay here-if there is a paradise
anywhere, it's right here. Engineers
are no different than other Montan-
ans. Most of them would stay here if
they could; in fact, many would re-
turn given the opportunity.
No one says we should eliminate
engineering education, and no one
suggests that all engineers educated
here should stay here. But people
that want to stay here should be given
that opportunity. The solution is to
provide more jobs for engineers here.
