The Councils View
On the face Of 1t, Franks
motives for wanting his
nephew are more selfish than
Marilyn's rejection Of him.
Certainly. II this child were
taken into the household to
be an example Of misfortune
to his cousins, 1t would do all
Of the children involved un-
told damage.
The only legitimate motive
for anyone's taking a child
into his home is the desire to
do something to help the
child. Strangers with big
hearts are often far more
helpful to q problem child
than relatives who feel i'm
posed upon or resentful be-
cause Of some old antagon-
ism toward the child's
parents.
However, We aren't blaming
Marilyn for fearing to take
on the big job Of caring for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-03-09

q problem child. It is GER
tainly no responsibility to be
undertaken lightly or half
heartedly. But Marilyn should
be aware that II she wanted
to take on the job out Of the
strong promptings Of her own
heart and mind, she would
not need to be so fearful Of
the effects on her own chill
dren.
It Is hard to Judge whether
Franks fear that the child
will wind UP in an institu-
ton" is based on genuine
sympathy for the boy or his
own guilt pangs. We think
that 1t Is important to try to
be q little objective. II Frank
and his wife cannot take the
boy into their home out OF o
desire to help him, he would
be better of with strangers
or even in an institution
where somebody might take
q real interest in him.

FOOD FADS
Food faddism is enjoying ar
all-time high in popularity. A
gullible public is lining the pock-
cts of promoters of food fads
with gold.
Nutrition and its relation tc
health gained recognition only
within the last half century. All
the results aren't good, however.
There has been a flood of unus-
ual theories = fads in food and
diets.
Refined and processed foods are
a favorite target of food faddists.
They want us to believe that
these foods are not nutritious,
when in reality refined and pro-
cessed foods play an important
role in overall nutritional health.
Many r supplemented with key
nutrients.
The faddists also claim that
our soil is WON but. Another
favorite cry is that certain foods
are very good weapons against
certain illnesses. For example,
drastically restricted menus are
often advocated in weight control.
The result may be that some of
these forms of food faddism,
than adding to health and
aggravate the condition
further.

Rich|and County
Property Taxes
Show Increase

Total property taxes levied fol
1958-59 in Richland County
amounted to $780, 84 according
to a report issued by the Montana
Taxpayers Association. This was
an increase of 5.3 percent over the
previous year. Property taxes lev
led increased 8 percent statewide
over the same period.
Going back ten years, the pri-
vately supported research associa-
ton reports that property taxes
have increased ITO percent state
wide. This compares with an in
crease of 81 6 percent for Richland
county over the ten years.
OF the $1,399, 984 levied in Rich
land school taxes amounted to
$566,801, county taxes $383,268,
city taxes $180,933 state taxes
S84, 778 and miscellaneous property
taxes S184,204. Statewide, $6.3
million additional property taxes
were levied for fiscal 1958-59 over
the previous year.
Taxes levied for 1958-59 de-
creased in only two counties in
Montana-Silver Bow and Still
water over the previous year. The
highest percentage increase in
Montana was in Fallon and Wib-
counties where there in
creases of "a percent and IS per-
cent respectively.
u. S. Census Bureau reports re-
veal that only three states in the
nation have a higher ~per-capita
property tax than Montana.
According to the Montana Tax
payers Association, citizens action
is the key to whether or not pro-
perty will continue to increase.

WORK SIMPLIFICATTON

Too tired to lift even a two
ounce finger at the end of a days
work? Motion-minded homema-
kers know that it is not the work
just the way they do it.
Even the most routine job
probably can be done better,
with less energy used. If motions
are rhythmic and relaxed, and
cut to the essential minimum,
work will be less firing and cause
less tension or strain. Time saved
for some special project to the
homemaker and her family will
pay dividends that can't be mea-
sured.
Lifting your finger actually is
extra work since energy is re-
quired to move any weight. For
a 150-pound woman, each finger
does weigh about two ounces.
One hand weighs nearly one
pound, the lower arm about four,
and the entire arm about eight
pounds. The lower leg of this 150-
pound person weighs eight
pounds, too; the entire leg about
fifteen pounds.
Motions made with hands and
arms are often the easiest and
least firing. Good posture and
safe lifting methods are basic
rules for any job. The safe load
limit for a woman is about
twenty-five pounds. Tension any
where in the body is a warning
sign to check job methods.
Besides questioning extra steps
and motions, the homemaker must
check tools and work place to be
sure they r at the best height
for her. The most routine jobs
need the most improvement
and could lead to increased salts
faction for the whole family.
