Where There's Life
There's Hope
Dear Peoples Voice,

Dear Peoples Voice,
The enclosed picture of Mr.. M. E.
Evanson, Montana chairman of the
Committee for Infantile Paralysis, pre-
senting a plaque to Miss Harriet Miller,
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton for the important role played by
the department and the school people
of Montana "for service in the nation
wide conquest of poliomyelitis" shows
a very worthy project for the depart
ment of public instruction.
1t says the plaque was presented for
the contribution by Montana schools
in furthering education concerning in
fantile paralysis, in encouraging Salk
vaccinations, in assisting po1io-stricken
students, and in conducting fundrais
ing projects.
I wonder if Miss Miller should accept
responsibility for the distribution of
surplus food to the Indians?
She could do so with as little effort
as she put forth in accepting the bronze
plaque for the schools because all she
has to do is to accept the distribution
of food for the tribes and the Braves
will do the rest.-VB.I

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Reports this week from the I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion say there were less unemployed
people filing for benefit checks in
Helena last week. The UCC reports
decreases and increases in claims
filed over the state in periodical press
releases.
The report in the Helena paper
was headlined Helena Shows Reduc-
ton in UCC Claims.
There isn't any actual untruth con-
nected with this reporting, and yet
it isn't a true picture of the unem-
ployment situation, because there is
no figure presented to show how
many people have already drawn
their % weeks of unemployment
checks and now have nothing coming
in, and there is never any indication
in these news stories that such a sit
uation exists or may exist, either
from the newspaper reporting or the
UCC reporting.
If the UCC figures are to have any
value they should include how many
people have drawn their maximum.
l think there should be law passed
that requires this be done.
People who started drawing unem-
ployment checks in September are
now running out. If these figures
are not tabulated UCC will continue
to report decreases in the number of
people filing and it will mean little
if anything in the overall unemploy-
ment picture.
The fact they are understanding
of, is evident by the headlines used
by the Helena paper-"Helena Shows
Reduction In UCC Claims. The i'm
preston Immediately is that things
are getting better in Helena. Know
ing that some people may have run
out of unemployment time I am not
sure they are. Are you?

A PARABLE

Once upon time a young boy
jumped out of his shoes and boarded
ship for long journey. His story
in one form or another could be
repeated by many hundreds of peo-
pie. some who became rich and ia
nous, some who merely found happi-
ness and contentment and some who
found less than any of the others.
But this boys story has been told
many times, until he became known
everywhere in the fleet of 48 ships
and among foreign crews.
This boy became a member of many
different crews who worked to build
a great ship called the ship of state.
He became big and strong and dis
played tremendous physical power in
everything he did.
The healthy energy with which he
was endowed made him a wealthy
member of the crew that worked in
this splendid ship of state. Then one
day, finding himself both healthy
and wealthy he decided he also must
be wise so he turned toward helping
run the ship of state that made it
possible for him to become both
healthy and wealthy.
For many years he served as a
of the official crew of the
ship.
Being linguacious he made friends
easily, and impressed great numbers
of people with his callouses and
sinew.
AS time passed his wealth increased
and his health continued, and his
great physical prowess was no longer
necessary to supply. him with plenty.
About this time there was great
unrest among the members of the
crew of this impressive ship, so he
decided he would take over COM
mand. He chose himself a good first
mate and worked among the mem
bers of the crew until they staged a
mutiny and chose him as their cap
,ain.

In about a year, the management recognized
that it had bit of more than it could carry on
the payroll and Mr.. Morgan went to WEBC,
Duluth, Mimi, where he was chief announcer
and program director.
He was 81 at the time, but stiI working
cheap.
This was followed by two years at WNAC,
Boston. He wasn't Aired either from Duluth or
Boston, but was merely attempting to work his
way back to New York He made it in 1887 at
WOR, where he started 15-minute radio effort
called Here's Morgan.
"In November of 1912 he enlisted in the Air
Force-of the United States. The following three
years made history. Henry also got three years
older and then out.
g.. In about year he was asked to do
half-hour program which lasted about three
years. This was followed by various kinds Of
inactivity during which our hero worked the
midnight-to-three shift on radio in night club
wrote magazine articles, tried different kinds
of TV ventures, looked out the window and be-
came the worlds worst gin rummy player"
other Morgan activities: He moderates

Continued From Preceding pass
1883, Henry sums up its appeal in this phrase
"the combination of predictability and unpre-
dictability"
1t has two good things" going for it; "the
panel has become known quantity, and the
show itself is always unpredictable"
The compatibility of the Secret talent Is
no secret. Henry is a regular panelist along with
busy Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows lin Europe with
hubby Steve Allen and beautiful Betsy Palmer.
The boss is another broadcasting veteran, Bal
timores Garry Moore, quick-witted performer
with background to match Henrys.
The Morgan background land here I crib
from an photographed memoir delivered by
a cigar store Indian goes something like this:
Born in New York in 1915 "he often at
tended public schools in New York City. 1t was
here that he learned touch tipping and humility
Along about the end of junior high school, he
chickened out altogether and went to the Har-
risburg Pa) Academy to prepare for college
to which he somehow never went -.
AT the age of II, Morgan became page
boy at New York radio station at which
he was failure. A few months later, he became
an announcer at the same station the
youngest and lowest-paid announcer in the
world at that time 1882. Subsequently Mr..
Morgan was relieved Of his duties and got an
other Job announcing at WCAu in Philadelphia.

HOLLYWOOD.-Tennessee Erne Ford is no
simple yes no man. When the occasion calls
for it, the NBC star comes out with a country
style metaphor to fit And usually it FITS very
nicely.
Asked for a few typical Ford phrases he
came up with a hefty list, some of Tennessee
origin and others coined by Ernie Here they
are, mostly self-expanatory:
I'm tired as a two-pound hen that's laid
q three-pound egg"
Thicker than fieas on q wet dog"
Solder than q beavers belly"
81 handed you a bucket, you may as well
milk"
Nervous as a long tailed cat in a roomful
Of rocking chairs"
II feel like been rode hard and put away
wet"
shes built like sackful of doorknobs."
"Redder than a ganders feet in buckle
berry patch"
Tossed me from the buggy before was
finished riding"

Ernie Talks tennessee

"It's as useful as a milking stool under q
bull"
ut caused as much talk as a new rooster
in the hen house"
Tall hog at the trough"
Hotter than a bucket of red ants"
Ford is doing very well in television and
television is his mainstay. Unlike many other
entertainers, he does not make movies or 60
out on night club dates. although he does appear
at State and county fairs. His other entertain
ment activity is making records.
Ole Ern is strong believer in the relaxed
comfortable school of television.
Bringing a show into the home is alto
gether different from the theater or a night
club" he commented. 81 keep remembering that
am being watched in the living room, where
people are relaxed-where pop is in his shirt
sleeves, and where there is no baby sitter and
they can change the channel at any moment"
People who are relaxing at home want an
easygoing, cheerful, relaxed kind of show. he
said
MY goodness, why is Perry Como so sue
cessful?" he asked, to prove his point. Hes
welcome in every home in America,
