THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL
"T STREET.

"T STREET.
Dear Sir:
what do you think Of a
bathrobe cord to loop up
flowers at a fence?
Zone of my neighbors has
used this, and it looks pretty
silly to me.
do you think I should
speak to her about this?
Every time I come down
the alley, and we have such
a lovely alley. I see that
awful looking black cord
looping up the althea's
branches.
There are proper sorts of
cords and Irvine for this pur-
pose, I see no reason for
dragging something out of
the house for the purpose.
II think indoor things
should stay inside, and out
door things where they be-
long. I believe there is a
famous phrase about a place
for everything and every
thing in its place.
Sincerely, MILE j."
Yes, there is, Mile, a very
famous phrase, but we do not
feel that it applies exactly in
this case.
Using one type of thing to
Ak another is as old as the
hills. and usually it boils
down to another famous say
ing, that necessity Is the
mother of invention.
In gardening, this is usual
procedure, because most peo-
pie do not think that critics
are roaming up and down
alleys.
They probably don't care,
either, Mile. so you see it is
useless to kick about such
matters.
In a few days, or weeks at
most, the leaves will be grow
ing over the offending cord.
The rains, If any, will fade it
to a nice white, and no one,
not even you, will see a thing
wrong then.
Nothing is either good or
bad, another famous saying
tells us, but thinking makes
it so.
This is true, and it is par
ticularly true Of the habit
OF nnQlng 1aulC WIN oCnerS,
in large or little.
Probably thousands of di-
vorces are caused by this I'M
happy trait.
A little criticism here. a
little there, and the first
thing anyone knows, a
greater unhappiness all
around.
4
Anyone may practice at
the business Of not making
smart aleck criticisms, and
not making snap criticisms.

To Aid O HOSPITAL

During the past several
days, there have been several
letters concerning UNICEF
and Trick or Treat collec-
tons. In view of such fund
raising activities, and con-
sidering the newspaper arti-
Giles on the disturbing f.
nancial status of Children's
Hospital, it appears that
these two matters should
join hands for a partial So
luton to the budget prob
lens of the hospital. With
very little difficulty, the
UNICEF Offices could be of
considerable assistance.
AS an emergency project,
the local Offices of UNICEF
or its sponsoring group in
Washington Il believe the
American Association for
United Nations) could COM
plete arrangements whereby
the total local collections. or
maybe rs per cent. would be
contributed directly to Chill
dren's Hospital. Their report
to the U. S. Committee for
UNICEF would reflect the
action taken on this emer-
gency project. In this way,
UNICEF could include this
amount and nature of assist
ance in it's annual report.
I feel confident that Or
CARNATIONS, parents, chill
dren and the contributors
would heartily indorse and
commend such action. II
isn't too late to make this
arrangement, and any ex-
pense would not be more
than a few dollars. I sim
cerely hope that prompt con-
sideration and approval are
forthcoming.

-OId Fox To Serve As Governor

Senate Speaker Pro-Tem Dave
Manning (D-Treasure) will serve as
Governor this weekend while both
Gov. ]. Hugo Aronson and Lieut..
Gov. Paul Cannon are outside the
state.
Aronson will be attending a week
end conference at Waterton Lakes,
Alberta, and Cannon is on a short
vacation to the stamping grounds of
his younger days, Boise, Idaho.
1t is traditional that once during
each two years both the Governor
and the Lieutenant Governor absent
themselves from the state for a day
or more in order that the Senate
Speaker Pro-Tem may serve as chief
executive and affix his signature to
an official state document.
Manning, member Of the Legis-
lature for more than a quarter of a
century, once before served a short
stint as Governor about 20 years ago
when he was Speaker of the House.
So far as we have been able to deter
mine, no House Speaker since has
sat in the Governors chair.
On at least one previous occasion,
however, House Speaker did so

Attenuation Influences
EMPLOYMENT Trends

The pressure for the shorter work
week increases, according to the flood
of resolutions at union conventions.
Typical statistics used in union pub
locations indicate that in the two-year
period December 1856 to December
1858 production in lumber and wood
products has been up $50 while en-
ployment dropped 11@0; mining pro-
duction down $50 while employment
dropped 1870; manufacturing as a
whole production down $50 while en-
ployment is down IL @o-the latter
figure representing 100000 jobs.
Most extreme case in the column of
statistics is tobacco manufacturing
industry production up 1870 while
down 1870.

whelming defeat last November OF
'right-to-work' laws and Republican
candidates who supported them, "the
National Right to Work Committee
and state right to work committees
intend to wage our fight more vigor-
|ously than ever"
The 'right-to-work" proposals were
swamped in five of six states and
carried to defeat with them Republi-
can Senator John Bricker, of Ohio,
Senate Minority Leader William F.
Knowland, of California, and many
other COP congressman and COVER
nors.
Hall said that after the November
debacle former COP National
Chairman Meade Alcorn issued
clear warning that backing right to
work laws is political suicide" Hall
stated:
"Mr. Alcorn said that the Re-
publican party lost scores of candi-
dates for national, state and local
offices largely on the 'right-to-work'
issue
"And now Republican National
Chairman Thruston Morton has put
the Republican party clearly on rec
ord as opposing these laws that are
both morally and legally wrong. He
said few days ago that decisions
relating to the union shop should be
determined by collective bargaining
between employers and unions and
not through right-to-work laws'."

William Pilgeram, as House Speaker
in 1886, spent upwards of three
weeks assGovernor while Acting Gov
ernor Elmer Holt was out of the state
on business in early 1886.
Oldtimers will recall the circum-
stances behind Sen. Holt (D-Custer)
becoming Governor. 1t goes back to
the death of Sen. Thomas J. Walsh in
March, 1888. Three-term Demo Gov
ernor John E. Erickson resigned from
the post and was succeeded by Lieut..
Gov. Frank Cooney, Butte. Cooney
Immediately appointed Erickson to
fill the U. S. Senate vacancy. Then,
in late 1885, Gov. Cooney died. Sen

A subdued Burns
Sends An Invitation
To Rep. Bradford

State Highway Chairman Harry L.
Burns has sent an invitation to Tru-
man Bradford, Cascade county Demo-
cratic legislator and chairman of the
1859 Highway Investigating Commit
tee. to attend the dedication of the
Fred L. Robinson bridge on Route
19 south of Malta which will be held
August 16.
Burns told Bradford in the letter
of invitation that he thought it was
Bradford's "duty to your constituents
to more fully inform yourself as
to all the various phases of our High
way Program.
The Burns approach is a startling
turn-about from his ''fire-eating'' un-
highway related statements of the
past six months. In Helena it is con-
sidered to be the outcome of some
"agonizing re-appraisals" of the eff
fects of the public pronouncements of
the highway chairman, which have
finally caused uneasiness within his
party. Rumors that a secret meeting
of the commission was held previous
to the Bradford invitation have not
been able to be confirmed.
The heat that has been created by
the latest move of the commission in
firing Horace Williams has caused
statewide repercussions and wide crit
icism of the department.
Instead of the verbal brick-bats of
the past six months, Burns offered
Bradford "every possible courtesy,
if he would accept the invitation.

Voter Registration,
Education, Stressed
By Sfufe's Painters

At it's recent convention in Helena
the Montana State Conference OF
Painters and Allied Crafts stressed
the Importance of education, appren-
tice training and better public rela-
tions, adopting a resolution urging
local unions throughout the State to
make special efforts toward activities
in these fields in the year ahead.
Lyle johnson of Bozeman was re-
elected president of the organization,
James Winsby of Billings, first vice
president, and Perry Melton of Kali
spell, secretary treasurer. District
vice presidents elected were Ray
Hensley, Great Falls; William Peter
son, Helena, and Doug Richardson,
Kalispell. C. L. Williams of Great
Falls was elected as trustee to serve
with continuing trustees Anton Wash
elk of Lewistown and Don Bartholo-
NEW of Havre.
The resolution on education includ-
ed reference to political activity with
the recommendation to local unions
that membership lists be checked for
registered voters and information be
made available on political issues and
candidates for public office. Affilia-
tion with the AFL-CIO Committee on
Political Education (COPE) was also
recommended.
An apprenticeship committee is to
be set up and plans commenced for
coordination of apprentice training
on a statewide basis.
The convention complimented Kali
spell Local 975 on it's work in placing
books on labor in public and high
school Libraries in several northwest
Montana communities and recon-
nended that other local unions carry
,ut similar public relations programs. !

Wheat Referendum
Wheat Referendum
Yes Vote Will
Save Montana
$7S,000,000

A "Yes'' vote in the July % wheat
referendum is vital to Montana's
economy, according to Leonard Ken
field of Great Falls, president of Mon
tana Farmers Union.
Kenfield, in a message to wheat
growers throughout the state, pointed
out that favorable vote on wheat
marketing quotas will save approx
mately 78 cents bushel on the 1860
crop. That's the difference between
a support price of $1.78, and unpro-
tected wheat at a dollar bushel or
less.
1t means "a saving of $78,G00,000
in Montana, assuming the 1860 yield
would equal the states 00,000,000-
bushel wheat crop of 1853" Kenfield
wrote. "Loss of that much income
would be equivalent to moving one
or more other large industry out of
the state. A No vote would bring
more vacant farms and empty store
windows in Montana.
"Disapproval of quotas would mean
such a loss to the economy of Mon

the farm problem, it will be of con-
financial help to most farm
ers and provide another year of hold

not eliminate acreage allotments.
Only change in the law can do that.

South Dakota dams (Fort Randall,

Earlier in the week Senator Mans

an Administration which went into

year ending June 80 could not argue
effectively that few million dollars
in unbudgeted expenditures (Which
it will get back if invested in good
water resource projects) will ruin

Y VIC REINEMER Exec Secy to Sen James E. Murray

'ecy. to Sen. James E. Murray
House-approved bill Thursday, the
Senate voted SO million to get started
on the Yellowtail project, but nc
money for Clark Canyon Dam.
The bill then went to conference
where Senate and House members
iron out the differences.
Back of the opposition to funds for
both projects are several factors:
THE ARGUMENTS
l. The Administration opposes any
'new starts on federal water re-
source development projects. Both
Yellowtail and Clark Canyon are new
starts.
2. The Administration refused to
budget funds for either of these dams.
Starting construction of them now
will, by the Administration theory,
unbalance the budget. This line of
reasoning disregards the facts that
(a) power revenues from Yellowtail
alone will more than pay for both
projects, then return money to the
Treasury, (b) delay of Clark Canyon
Dam will result in several million
dollars additional expenditure for
road relocation when the dam does
go in, because of scheduled routings
through the area, (c) construction
costs rise several million dollars each
year they are delayed ESTIMATED cost
of Yellowtail was $95 million in 1866
and is $109 million now. I'D con-
will put thousands of idle
Montanans, many now drawing un-
benefits, to work, (e)
the 100000 kilowatts which Yellow
tail will put on the line will mean
more abundant, cheaper power in the
Missouri Basin, (f) federal, state
and local revenues will increase be-
cause of construction activity, and
(g) new tax and producing in
1ustries will in all likelihood follow
,hese new projects to the state.
3. Some folks thought that one state |
shouldn't get two new projects in one
year.
There wasn't much left of that
lhird argument after Senator Muir
'ay and Senator Mansfield treated it
IN the Senate floor Thursday after
loon.
