House Warming Party
Came As Big Surprise
To Akron Lodge Couple

day and age 1t Is sometimes
difficult for us to realize that
the world is still full of good
people, near and dear friends.
My husband, Nick Dizdar,
and I came to learn as much
Nov. II, 1857, just as the
monthly meeting of our MA
tija Gubec' CFU Lodge 472
was drawing to a close and
a good friend of ours asked
for the floor to direct some
complimentary remarks our
way.
He is Frank Bogdan,
widely known Akron bar
Der and for years a staunch
champion of the Croatian
Fraternal Union.
My husband and I first
made the acquaintance Of bro.
Bogdan and his lovely wife
Louise when we lived in Far
rell, Pa, years ago. Our
friendship deepened during
those days and we were very
close until my marriage to
Nick Dizdar in 1919.
Following our marriage we
moved to Akron and have
made our home here ever
since. The Bogdans stayed be-
hind in Farrell.
Akron Lured Bogdans
Shortly after taking up
residence in Akron who did
we run into one day but
Frank and Louise Bogdan,
who decided that the pastures
were greener elsewhere.
They made their home in
Akron for a while and later
moved to nearby Barber
ton. In time, Frank decided
that Akron was more to his
liking and he opened his
own barber shop. Today
the Bogdans own one of
the lovliest homes in this
community. 80,
So much for these wonder
full people, who have playet
such a friendly role in ou
own lives and brought happi
ness to many others during
their days in Akron.
A Wonderful Surprise
When we returned to our
home following the Lodge
meeting of Nov. II last we
ran into a startling surprise
- a house warming party in
our honor.
Behind the planning and
the hard work which goes in
to these affairs were Allen
and Ann Grimsley. And the
toastmaster just had to be
our good friend of long, long
standing, Frank Bogdan.
After we got over the
shock of the surprise, bro.
Bogdan revealed that the
whole thing was cooked up"
to celebrate the purchase of
our own home after 80 years
and to wish us many years of
happiness in our new sur
roundings.
As If this wasn't enough,
our friends gave us a beau
tiful set of dishes and
enough of that "green
stuff" with which to pur-
chase the dryer 1 long
wanted.
What an evening!
And what wond er f ul
friends God bless you, one
and all. Never will we ever
forget what you did that
memorable day of Nov. II,
1857. How can we ever repay
you?

Fergus F. U. Urges
Governor To Act On
Surplus Commodities

With each passing week more and
more Montana people, as individuals
and as representatives of various or
CARNATIONS, are writing to the Gov
ernor urging him to recede from his
no-surplus- or-Montana
position.
In addition to labor and farm
groups, city and county officials and
many individuals, one daily news
paper, the LEWISTOWN DAILY
NEWS, has editorially spoken out
very strongly on Governor Aronson
taking the necessary steps so that
Montana can join 38 other states in
helping to alleviate hunger brought
on by the deepening depression.
In many instances, cooperation is
being offered in setting up a work
able food distributing system, should
the Governor enable Montana to par
ticipate in distributing available sur
plus commodities.
One of the latest organizations to
advise THE VOICE that they've
joined the growing number who have
appealed to the Governor, is the sew
eral hundred-member Fergus County
Farmers Union.
Dean Archer, Tiegen, acting secre-
tary of that farm group, states that
by instruction from the membership,
he's written the Governor, urging him
ito reconsider your position of re-
fusing surplus foods to the jobless
and the needy of Montana ;" that
the Governor C. use your powers
to distribute surplus food with
all haste . :"
Concluding, Fergus Flu advised the
Governor that by his continued re-
fusal to seek such commodities they
believe he would not be "doing your
proper duty to the people of Mon

share in it. 1t is apparent from your
letter that you did not have all the
facts before you when you made your
decision. Therefore we offer the fol
lowing comment on the several points
you made:
81. You state that available food
stuffs do not constitute a balanced
diet 'or much of a supplement to any
other type of Diet
"Cornmeal, flour, cheese, nonfat dry
milk and rice are now available. Re-
ceipt of this nutritious supplement
enables family heads to use available
cash or credit for purchase of meat
and vegetables. Other foodstuffs may
be added to the available surplus list
"2. The value of the monthly ration
appears insignificant to you, when
compared to cost of administration.
GA family of five could receive,
each month, Is pounds of cornmeal,
20 pounds of flour, five pounds of
cheese, IL pounds of nonfat dry
milk, and 21a pounds of rice. Accord
ing to prices in November, 1857. as
reported in Consumers Price Index,
these commodities would cost a fam
lily 1913. A family of more than five
could receive proportionately more.
This substantial supplement
would not appear insignificant to
the family of a miner whose I'M
employment benefits are running
out, to destitute Indians or other
of Montana's needy folks who do
not know where the next days
meals are coming from.
"3. You are concerned over ad-
costs, red tape, and lack
of funds.
GAS you know, the governors of
38 other states have apparently dis
covered that the benefits of the pro-
gram exceed it's cost and effort. If
you will call the governor of North
Dakota you can verify the fact that in
that state the governor designated
the State Department of Public In
struction to act for the state in re-
,eiving surplus commodities. That De-
oartment designated the Indian tribes
IS the distributing agency for dis
ributing surplus commodities. The |
the state government, not |
he local government, hire the people
Who actually distribute the food and
,eep the necessary records. A similar
procedure has been established in
south Dakota, where, as of October 1,
957, 7,145 needy persons in family
nits were receiving commodities. In
Their states, notably Pennsylvania,
here 440,905 persons were receiv-
lg commodities October 1, respon-
de labor unions act in a similar ca
acity.
Indian tribes in Montana have
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1958-01-31

OTTereo similar assistance IN dIS-
tributing food to Indians. Unions
in Montana have offered similar
assistance in distributing food.
"The Department of Agriculture
recently repeated it's willingness to
ship the available foodstuffs to Mon
tana.
"The Bureau of Indian Affairs, in
letter from Acting Commissioner
Barton Greenwood dated January IL,
1858. states that, Bureau Area and
Reservation staffs in Montana have
offered their services in facilitating
meetings between any of the tribal
councils, wishing to administer the
surplus food commodity program, and
the State agencies to work out the
necessary arrangements"
eve are frankly at a loss to
understand why, in view of these
earnest assurances of cooperation
which would minimize the cost to
the state, you refuse to permit
Montanans to participate.
"a. You state that as you undoubt-
edly know, the State of Montana will
be required to pay the entire cost of
administration of any such surplus
commodity distribution program
That, as the above paragraphs indi-
cate, is contrary to the facts.
SO. You state that experience with
surplus commodity distribution pro-
grams has shown that it is next to
impossible to confine such a program
either to one county or to welfare
cases alone. In almost every instance,
this program has spread either to
other counties or to low-income
groups or both
"You and the state agency you des-
ignate have the authority to limit
or expand the program as you see fit.
&C. The direct distribution program
has value beyond the normal aid to
needy families. During fiscal 1856
surplus foods aided the victims of Is
natural disasters in this country. AS
he Agriculture Department states,
n one of several brochures dealing
With the program which we enclose
,or your information.
Regular operation of the direct
distribution program pays a bonus
n times of emergency. Facilities
for the regular distribu-
ion of surplus foods are quickly
wung into action to help provide
food supplies to disaster
ictims.
"You have great opportunity,
we believe, to institute a worth
while program which will provide
help to thousands of needy Mon
tana families, help decrease agri-
cultural surpluses, prepare the state
to cope with possible disasters, and
to do these things with enthusiastic L

local cooperation and a surpris-
ment. Failure to act will be, in our
opinion, an abdication of state re-
spopsibility.
eve take this opportunity to re-
peat our willingness to help get the
program underway as speedily as pos
sible, once you make the necessary
decision

H-OO Charter Presented
Whifefsh Labor Council

WHITEFISH - Whitefish Central
Trades & Labor Council became the
fourth Montana city labor central
body to receive a charter from the
AFL-CIO, last Friday evening at a
dinner meeting when presentation of
the document was made by Region 20
assistant director James J. Leary,
Butte, to local council president A. R.
Carbone.
Earlier, new charters had been pre-
scented by AFL-CIO to the Missoula
Trades & Labor Assembly, Flathead
Trades & Labor Council and Cascade
County Trades & Labor Assembly.
Some 25 council delegates and
guests were on hand for the presenta-
ton ceremony and social affair.
Special guest for the occasion was
Whitefish Mayor Roy Duff.
Duff paid tribute to labor union
activities in this city over the years
and called attention to the friendly
relationship enjoyed by his admins
tration and organized labor. He said
that "as charter member of the Re-
tail Clerks Union and holder of an
honorable withdrawal card from that
organization, I know that democratic
trade unionism has an important role
to play in progressive community
such as we consider Whitefish to be.
Working together as citizens we will
continue toward the worthy goal of
Whitefish and the. Flathead

Pat Frerich and Richard Hotter, trus-
tees.
Addressing the officers and guests
Assistant Director Leary stressed the
significance of trade union activities
in world affairs, calling particular at
tention to AFL-CIO assistance in
technical aid and educational pro-
grams in underdeveloped countries of
the free world. He told of his expert
ences as a former labor adviser of the
United Nations and outlined the pro-
gram of the international Confedera-
tion of Free Trade Unions with which
the AFL-CIO is affiliated.
He said in part, "Too little is known
about the great services rendered by
free trade unionists throughout the
world in the struggle against Com
munism and all forms of tyranny. If
for no other reason any dues-paying
member of labor union in this coun-
try can take pride in his contribution
toward that struggle"
Leary observed that the customs
and traditions of other peoples seek
ing to improve their lot must be more
respected. He expressed the view that
u. S. prestige abroad is at low ebb
because of lack of such respect in the
administration of various aid pro-
grams.
Friendship and support for our
country cannot be bought simply with
weapons and supplies" he
said.
SERVICE
Leary also pointed out the import
ance of trade union activity at the
state and community level calling at
ention to the fact that Central Trades
and Labor Councils are chartered to
function as co-ordinating bodies for
in general civic affairs,
IS we'll as the handling of labor union
He said, "While we readily concede
hat organized labor has its share of
II advised leadership, it is no worse
han any other segment of our society.
Is the worthy efforts go forward to
ret our own house in better order we
will continue, in greater measure than
.ver before, the program of civic and
itor soI,
he labor movement is so firmly
ounded and upon which it has grown
nd honorably prospered."
ACTION
The part labor union members
hould take in non-partisan political
ctivity was pointed out by Leary and
Y Perry Melton, guest speaker from
-alispell Melton said, political
wareness is a much neglected civic
of all citizens"
Melton said that hit and miss inter
st in legislative matters, elections
n governmental administration
oints up very real lack in under
,anding of the democratic process.
''The AFL-CIO Committee On Poll
cal Education (COPE) at national,
ate and local levels is carrying on
concerted program to build up in
rest in this important field" he said.
Mrs. Rudy Watterud took number
pictures throughout the evening.
