Montana Needs New
Vistas Of Development

cat this moment. when Mon
tana's University system begins
another year of service in help
ing Montana youth to develop
their abilities for advancement
in living, it's especially import
ant to reappraise our efforts
toward creating career oppor-
tunities that will challenge them, and
make them want to be part of Mon
tana's future" Paul K. Harlow, pres
ident of the Committee for Paradise
Dam, said Sunday.
"Our University system is both an
investment in our youth and an ex-
preston of faith in the future. But
it's a real tragedy that a big per-
centage of our youth, to which we're
glad to give university training, must
leave Montana to find a challenging
future.
university alumni lists show
that half of Montana college
trained people nave moVeo out oA
the state. Because there's so great
shortage of jobs in our state, we
find ourselves in effect exporting
our most valuable treasure-our
children. Many of them leave with
a great sense of disappointment

State SUpt. Issues
Bulletin On New
Education Act

HELENA-Superintendent of Pub
lie instruction Harriet Miller has is
sued bulletin to all school admins
traitors relaying information just
made available to the Department of
Public instruction regarding the Ma
tional Defense Education (Hill-Elliot)
Act of 1868, new federal aid pro-
gram recently enacted by Congress-.
Miss Miller stated that four phases
of the new law require approval by
the Us. Office of Education Of state
plans for implementing the programs,
before federal aid can be granted.
The four phases are: (1) science,
mathematics and modern languages;
(2) guidance, counseling and testing;
(3) area vocational education; and
(4) statistical services.
Following federal approval of Mon
tana's plans for these programs, Miss
Miller stated that the State of Mon
tana will be required to allocate
matching funds before federal aid
can be obtained.
"The only exception is the guild
ance, counselling and testing program,
for which Montana has been allotted
$21, $50 for the current fiscal year,
with no matching funds required. Ev-
cry effort will be made to secure ap-
proval of Montana's plan for this
as soon as the U. S. Office
of Education advises us of it's require

"While the NDEA formula indicates
that Montana's share for the current
fiscal year would be $652,731, only
26%o of this amount was actually ap-
by Congress, so that the
maximum earmarked for Montana is
S168,147. Of the latter amount, we
,an obtain only $21,85O without
funds" Miss Miller stated.

question is not debatable. However"
the Lieutenant Governor emphasized,
"it is the responsibility of the Gov

Commission that they are

for more revenue is apparent, then
the Governor should first recommend
repeal of the present inadequate
truck taxation law and substitution

"The Governor, the same as other

Allentown Thumps
Little Leaguers
1873 i'm Tournament

Bluffton's Little Leaguers lost an
extra inning game to Allentown to
end the local boys hopes of winning
the PeeWee tournament at Cairo. The
final score was 1873, but the game
was tightly played for the first seven
innings, with the score see-sawing
back and forth.
Bluffton finally collected a respect
able number of hits, but the pitchers
failed. Jerry Weaver and Larry Grow
lead the nine hit attack with two
apiece, but Allentown sapped out 19
safeties off Mike Reichenbach and
Roger Benroth.
Biggest thorn in Bluffton's hide was
Polling, who knocked out four singles
and double in five at bats. He was
up every other inning, starting a
rally or driving in needed runs.
The locals scored all eight runs ir
the first four innings and werent
able to get a hit after the fourth
Allentown scored five in the third
one in the fourth, two in the top o.
the seventh to tie the score, and five
in the eighth to ice the game.

Town Baseball Team
Grabs 1874 Victory
With Heavy Hitting

Bluffton's Town Team slaughtered
a Lima-Beaverdam team, 1874, at
Harmon field Sunday. 1t was the
second win in two games for the team
and for pitcher Fred Amstutz, al
though Don Schmidt and Don AlSpach
each hurled an inning in the nine
inning contest.
Everyone in the lineup had at least
one hit, and Alspach and Don Leiber
paced the attack with four apiece.
Extra base hits rained in the out
| field as Alspach hit homer, Schmidt
belted triple, and Leiber, Jake Ba-
singer, Dave Augsburger and Ron
Geiger collected doubles.
The visitors gathered nine hits, but
could not come up with the scoring
punch that would have made the
game closer. Amstutz seemed to
pitch more effectively with runners
on and he picked two off first. He
struck out seven and walked four,
while Schmidt struck out the side ir
the inning he worked, and Alspach
struck out one and walked one in his
brief stint.
