The functions of rehabilitation

Ernest Salvas. executive board
member, international Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers, spoke of
the need for strengthening existing
programs in order that they may
more fully meet the need for rehabili-

insisted the industrially injured should
also include the occupationally di-

al Health met Saturday. May 10, in
Helena and decided on two projects
for the coming year, after having
had subcommittee look into the needs
of all of the institutions.
The subcommittee reported back
to the whole committee at meeting
held in April. The May meeting took

mind of determining the definite com
mittee projects.
1t was decided to work for changes

ice fees to establish building fund
from which capital improvements can
be paid for. Service fees are those
collections from solvent people at
the institution, who are required by

The group, acting through Ma
tional Wheat Referendum Committee
is led by M. w. Thatcher, general
manager of Farmers Union Grain

president, National Federation of
Grain Co-operatives, Washington.

Grain farmers, the committee de-
clared, "have not benefited from the
current reports of increased farm
income, largely due to favorable cattle
prices, and higher prices for cotton
and fruits and vegetables, in short
supply because of the freeze in south
ern states"
In their joint statement, the group
declared that consumers as well as all
farmers have a stake in the outcome
of the wheat Referendum on June 20.
"Sagging flexible price supports,
the Presidents veto of the price
freeze resolution, and the Secretary
of Agriculture's delay in announcing
the 1859 price support levels combine
to heighten uncertainty and insecur-
ity within agriculture" the group
stated, and warned that, 'if farmers
vote Mo-, they vote for unlimited
surplus production and disaster.
Consumers also have a real stake
in this vote, because defeat of the
wheat referendum would pull farm
purchasing power down still further,
adding to the recession and unem-
ployment.'
This years campaign in the Upper
Midwest wheat regions will use both
newspaper and radio advertising, as
well as the "grassroots' support of
farmers and people on Main Street."

PEOPLE LULLED WITH "A
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY"

Contrast this with the picture in
the United States under the Republi-
cans, said Butler, "while the Soviet
Union builds a dam three times the
size of our great Grand Coulee, the
Administration gathers all its re-
sources to fight Hells Canyon /.
While the Soviet Union speeds up
its entire strategic water resource
program, General Eisenhower vetoes
the Yellowtail Dam Resolution, pro-
poses no new starts, and lulls the
American people in false sense of

TOO MANY TAKE THESE
LAWS FOR GRANTED

"No thoughtful person will ques-
ton the wholesome and good effects
of these laws on our society and way
of life," Nelson said, yet "too many
people take these laws for granted
without realizing that without the ef-
forts of organized labor they would
be without their benefits and protec-
tion.''
Looking at the part played by
organized labor in yet another way,
the District Judge stated that many
people who oppose organized labor,
who would destroy it's power to col
lectively bargain, "fail to see and
appreciate the equally apparent
fact that economic benefit and gain
to the members of organized labor
has meant benefit and gain to
everyone :" has made possible
the higher standards of living that
are enjoyed generally throughout
the United States today :"

In Missoula he said lack of resource
development was tragic because it
"means economic stagnation". The
Democratic national chairman said,
"It means that Montana doesn't get
new industries because you don't have
enough of the low-cost power which
industry must have'. He said there
was an "even greater danger, and
added, "While the President whacks

neers, as saying, "'The Soviets have

THANKS FOR READING THIS

The editor of this newspaper is neither saint nor sage
philosopher or professor. There is no secret about the matter
We get a moderate amount of pay for exposing our views to
the gaze and perusal of the enlightened readers of this paper.
We have no campaign to persuade anybody to agree to
anything, or with anybody, and, least of all. ourselves. Our
opinions, written in haste and poor English may amuse, BATTLE
OF befuddle, but so long as nobody else will do the job worse
for less money, we will probably continue to collect our
salary.
We find it rather difficult to get up a rich lather of per-
spiration over any of the issues that face the nation, or the
world. There have been issues for many years, and there will
be issues long after we have passed into the world where
nobody writes editorials. Why should we worry over what
somebody else thinks about our opinions, much less other
matters?
The human race is an ancient institution. 1t has been
bedevilled by wiser writers than this scribe. 1t has gone its
way. So be il. All that we ask is the privilege of going our own
way, with those who may choose to come along and without
those who prefer going some other way.
We are SO modest that we really appreciate the compi-
ment that anybody pays us by reading our efforts.

FARM FOOD COST

An AGRICULTURAL economist esti-
mates that both farm and city
families spend an average of 81
per cent of their consumption
dollar for food.
Farm family expenditures for
food are, on the average, lower
than those of urban families.
But when taken as a proportion
of a smaller total, the food
expenditures are the same, per-
centagewise, as for the city
family.
