Dear Mrs. Kicker:

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
1 am IL years old and l
am going with a girl who
Is q year and q half young
er. l love her very, very
much. My problem Is that
she depends on a girl friend
for all the questions, and
answers, concerning me.
When i ask her to go out
she always wants this girl
20 60 along or else tell her
whether she should go with
me by herself.
When this girl goes with
us, my girl copies her every
move. l don't want TO dis
cuSs the situation with her
because I'm afraid she'll
get mad at me. l consider
myself q mice" boy, trust
worthy and more serious
about my girl than she
knows. l am afraid that IL

does he live?" ''What does
he look like?" ''What kind
of work does his father
dO?" what church does he

driver?"
It goes on and on and it
seems the questions never
end. Do you think it is nee
essary for them to ask all
these questions? If so,
why?
DORIS.
Parents have the right to
know something about the
boys their daughters date.
But it is much better for a
girl to volunteer the informa-
ton. In other words, If you
tell Nom and Dad what you
think they want to know
about the boy, they will feel
that you are not hiding any
thing. And If you always
have been trustworthy. it is
doubtful that they will feel
that a pre-date "inquisition"
is necessary.

GROWTH PERCENTAGES
DON'T MEAN A THING"

Rep. Sheldon (Lincoln) contested
Loman's earlier statement on how
much more rapidly Montana was
growing population and manufacture
ingwise than Washington. He said
percentages don't mean a thing un-
less you know the base they're taken
from - He then pointed out that
because Montana has been in back
ward state of affairs for many years
past, any population or manufacture
ing growth, figured on the existing
base, would reflect in extremely high
percentages as compared with state
such as Washington where low-cost,
abundant power put in motion an
acceleration Of growth more than 20
years ago. Therefore, said he, it is
not surprising that in the 1915?
period the more industrialized state
should not have had quite the per-
centage growth (120% as compared
with 168%o) as occurred in Montana.
Sheldon also pointed out that if
the PUD law on the book caused pri-
vate power companies to cut rates
only quarter of a cent it would
leave millions of additional dollars
in Montana to be spent time and again
in purchases, making jobs, etc.
Rep. McGarvey said that "the State
of Washington is using our water
under PUD system and is growing
by leaps and bounds. Continuing, he
said we're not dealing with genuine
free enterprise so far as private pow
er companies are concerned. "We're
dealing with monopolies and the only

POWER TRUSTS
GRAND MARCH"
Chief PIT sponsor Tonner led off
for approval of the bill, briefly re-
viewed the successful experience
Washington people have had since
PUBS were first set up in the early
thirties; how public-owned districts
had not only achieved lower and low
er power rates, but also the beneficial
effects the districts had had in tenn
pering the rate-increasing appetites
of private utilities in that state.
Recalling the large influx of people
who had been called to Helena to
protest the bill at the public hearing
February 4, Tonner said the "assem-
bly, saw the grand march of the power
trust on Helena - and then he
reviewed the many kilograms and
letters he had received in opposition,
and how very similarly worded so
many of them were.
Rep. Mernin, speaking in defense
of the bill, could see little value in
the Public Service Commission regu-
lating anything, and he recalled that
80 of the IL" rate increases request
ed by utilities in recent years "have
been granted.
These included, he pointed out, $50

Mernin further contended that
PUBS will protect "free enterprise
and will provide competition" for
the private power companies, with
benefits accruing to both the own
ers of the districts and the patrons
of the private utilities.

Dunant's anger boiled over. "All
men are brothers, he declared.
The stubble-faced soldier low
cred his eyes.
Come, help me take him in
side," Dunant said. And he re-
peated: "All men are brothers"
The soldier stood irresolute, then
came down the steps. He and
Dunant carried the unconscious
Austrian back into the hospital.
They eased him onto pile of straw
on the floor, to be treated the same
as the French soldiers who lay
beside him.
Within a few hours everyone in
Castiglione knew the story of Dun
ant and the Austrian soldier. Before
nightfall, "Tutti frateiLi," the Itali-
an words meaning "AH men are
brothers" became the command
ment of all serving the wounded.
He could not forget
When he returned to Geneva,
Dunant tried to concentrate on his
business affairs. but he couldn't
get the Battle of Solferino out of
his mind. He kept thinking of the
men who had died because aid had
not reached them soon enough, or
because the people who wanted to
help were willing but completely
unframed.
He began to wonder if it would
be possible to train people in peace
time to help both the victims of
war and those harmed by fire, food
and epidemics.
He offered these ideas in a slen-
der book which he called "A Mem
DRY Of Solferino." The response
astounded him. Charles Dickens,
Victor Hugo, Harriet Beecher

Stowe, Florence Nightingale, and
the rulers of nine countries wrote
to express their enthusiasm for his
proposal.
This marked the beginning of the
Red Cross, which now has 100 mil
lion members in 81 nations. Today
its peacetime activities include
training in first aid and water
safety, relief to disaster victims, an
enormous blood program, the train
ing of nurses and nurses aides, and
a broad program of international
activities.
The ideo sh0f swept the world
Dunant himself did not prosper.
His business ventures failed, and
this bankrupted many of his friends
as well as himself.
He left Switzerland, and lived in
poverty and obscurity in Germany.
Many Of his friends assumed that
he was dead. The world was startled
in 1890 when German newspaper
reporter traced Dunant to his howell
and published a story under the
headline:
FOUNDER OF RED CROSS ALIVE -
AND IN NEED!
Help came swiftly from all parts
Of the world. A great man who had
slipped from sight was found
again." And in 1901, Dunant was
one of the two men who received
the first Nobel Peace Prize.
This week at Solferino a monu-
ment made of stones from all the
nations having Red Cross societies
will be unveiled in tribute to Henri
Dunant, and two words will be
carved in the stone:
