Dear Editor and Friend:
have been very i'll for II years,

unable to lie down, must sit up
all the time, asleep and awake,
else choke to death. It is that de-

Of suffering and ~privation.
Have very much pain and all
ways a great difficulty in getting

my condition not asthma, not

Am collecting all kinds Of post

The stamps sent will be a real

Have women found a firm foot
ing in the year 1892
In answering the question. DIR.
Pannell said. The role of women
in modern society is a topic Of
wide and current interest. The pro
hibitions which this modern world
puts upon the full utilization of the
intelligence and skills of women
come from the strong theological
blocs and from traditional defini-
tons of the nature Of the differences
between men and women
She offered two specific sugges-
tons for more effective use Of
woman power. ~ to encourage
women to make themselves well
qualified by a continued increase
in the number and amount of
scholarships, fellowships and other
grants and aids to motivated
women: and o. to create a favor
able public opinion for the employ
ment Of women.
DR.. Panneu quoted Margaret
Mead The paradox Of women
who are educated like men and
can do most of the things men do.
but are still taught to prefer mar
rage to any other way of life,
causes most OF the confusion that
exists for women today
The college president pointed out
the Influence and power women Of
today WELD by quoting a National
Manpower Council publication If
the working wives and mothers in
our labor force were suddenly to
put down their special picks and

Grain Storage Can
Pay for Itself
WHAT WITH LOANS a

WHAT WITH LOANS available for
construction of new facilities and
storage fees for resealed oats, barley
and wheat, farmers should look into
their storage needs for 1859, USDA
officials point out
AS one agricultural economist points
out, many farmers can get new storage
for almost nothing. Here's the way
he lines it up:
A 5,OOO-bushel steel bin held at ca
pacity with wheat reSealed at IL cents
(the rate is is cents for most of Mon
tana) for three years would return
81, $50 in CCC payments.
Costs such as shrinkage, insurance,
keeping the wheat up to quality, prop
erty taxes and interest would average
about 10 cents bushel. This leaves
6 to 2 cents a bushel $500 to $500
to make yearly payments on any loan
on the bin. Tn Montana's cool, dry
climate these costs would average less,
perhaps only cents a bushel.
And loans for new bins are available.
CCC will lend up to 80 per cent of the
cost of bins with interest at per
cent and payable in four annual in
stalIments.
