New Year Is
Time 10 Say
Remember

Watching the old year out and
the New Year in is an American
tradition. Some like to follow the
crowds to Times Square; others
prefer the atmosphere Of res
taurant or mite spot; and of those
who so desire the majority may
do it the easy way-relaxing in
their favorite chair and watch
ing TV.
No matter how the watching"
and waiting" is done, someone
will probably say, ~ remember
when :" AS certainly as we
all look for good things in the
year ahead, we're sure to take
note Of the fact that some i'm
portant event is slipping deeper
and deeper into the pages Of his
tory.
Some oldtimers will remember,
for example, that the U. S. parcel
post system was inaugurated In
1913 and that six years later, in
1919, New Years Day was de-
clared a legal holiday throughout
the country, with the exception
Of Massachusetts and Washing
ton, D. C. Or, that the first cable
across the Pacific was completed
in 1908. Overseas, the USSR was
formed in 1923. Here at home, the
Social Security administration
was inaugurated in 1887. These
dates may be well remembered
because all Of these things hap
pened on January l.
While enjoying the luxury Of
viewing Times Square activity
from the comfort Of the living
room, through the medium of TV,
we might also note that the first
motion picture was shown to the
public some sc years ago, in April
of 1894 the Edison kinescope.
The first real motion picture. Of
fered In 1906, was titled THE
Life of an American Fireman"
and was without a plot. In 1905
THE Great Train Robbery" made
movie headlines and two years
later along came Al Jolson as
THE Jazz Singer" the first pic
ture with spoken sequence and
the first an-talk picture.

Happy New Year
In All Languages

Nowadays it is possible TO buy
greeting cards which extend New
Year wishes in several languages.
This modern development is
convenience for those who send
greetings to friends in the "old
country" wherever that country
happens to be.
Should you be sending card
to friends in Paris, the greeting
would be 'Bonne Aneei" In
Spanish. the greeting is "Feliz
Ano Nuevoi" and in sunny Italy,
''Buon Capo d'Anne!"
Elm Gleuckliches Neues Jahr"
is the salutation one might send
or receive from-friends in
Germany.
Whatever the language, the
words Happy New Year" repre-
sent only the best OF wishes for
the year ahead.

New Yeur Feast
Is Traditional
In Many Lands

In practically any land that you
care to mention. feasting is an
important part of the New Year
observance, probably on the the
DRY that good meal on the first
day Of the year will assure that
there will be plenty in the days
ahead.
Our American favorite, the
turkey, gets the call most often in
the United States and in some
sections a country ham" is a
necessity. Feasts in England and
Western Europe may include
turkey, duck or goose. Latin
countries bedeck their fowl with
truffles, chestnuts and olives.
To many Swedes, glogg is as
important as food as part of the
holiday fare. This traditional
drink is made with claret wine,
sweetened with sugar and fla
vored with almonds, raisins, dried
orange peel, cinnamon, cloves
and cardamon. 1t is usually set
afire before serving.
A popular Spanish dish is sopa,
rice cook with olive oil, toma-
toes, vegetables and meat parti-
cles. Africans enjoy CONSCIOUS,
which is composed of wheat
grains, lamb and vegetables.

Farm Prices Drop
To 1q-Yeur Low

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Farm parity had slipped to 19-year
low by November Is, and no end was
in sight, USDA officials said Novem-
Der 80.
The ratio between prices that farm
ers get and prices they must pay
dropped from 79 to II in the month
ending in mid-November. Not since
August 1910 has the ratio been so
low.
On the same day, Treasury officials
announced that the government is
paying a " 90 interest to borrow mon
ey for 80 days-the highest rate the
government has ever paid on it's
shortest-term obligations.
The week before, the Treasury paid
investors 4.891 90 interest to get them
to lend So billion for six months. This
is the highest interest the Treasury
has had to pay on it's IOUs due in less
than a year since 1929.
Agriculture Department spokesman
gave no hope for 1860. They said net
farm income will drop from $11.2 bill
lion this year to $10.3 billion next
year. This means farm people will
share the lowest net farm INCOME of
any year since 1912, they said.
USDA officials also said the farm
er's share of the consumers food dol
lar is still sliding. This year the farm
er will get 38c, middlemen the other
&c. Next year they expect the farm
er to get only BIC, they said. Not
since 1884 have farm people received
such a small share of what people
spend for food.

STORY HOUR ATTRACTS
THE "SMALL FRY"

The response to the Story Hour
has been an inspiration and a chal-
lenge to all Friends of the Library in
Conrad. Last summer a brave little
vanguard of ten to fifteen youngsters
responded to our doubtful invitation.
Last Saturday morning seventy-five
children swarmed into the library to
check their coats before gathering
at the feet of the story lady in the
City Hall auditorium. Almost all of
those children took books home with
them that day. A story telling COM
mittee, made up of volunteers from
the Friends of the Library. was
formed in January to provide the
Story Hour with the best talent the
town has to offer.
The seventh step taken last year
was to offer the county commission
ers the opportunity to contract for
countrywide service with our city Ii
brary. In community such as ours
which is natural shopping center
for so many rural residents the Ii

a good many rural people. This con-

CURRENT CAPITAL
BUDGET LEGISLATION

Before Senator McClellan's Gov
ernment Operations Committee now
are two bills on this subject: S 1860
by Senator Humphrey. entitled, "a
bill to provide for the adoption of
a capital budget by the Federal Gov
ernment"; and S 1914 by Senator
Morse, entitled, "a bill to amend the
Employment Act of 1916 to establish
policies with respect to productive
capital investments of the Govern
ment". Sponsors of the two bills are
hopeful that Senator Mcclellan will
have time to consider their proposed
legislation, now that the labor in

library trustee in small Montana
town is such a hazardous pursuit, but
it can be a forlorn one, at times, as
many of you have probably discov-
cred for yourselves. It's only forlorn
when our enthusiasm for it is mis-
judged. This sometimes happens in
Montana because many of our small
er communities are only recently
emerging from rough, settlement
conditions into well-established. tax
supported civic enterprises. Most of
our city and county officials, during
the past fifty years, have been con-
cerned with very basic improvements
= schools, hospitals, streets and
roads.
On the streets of my town, Conrad,
for instance the latest model Cadillacs
drop out of sight into bottomless mud
holes as blithely today as teams and
wagons must have done sixty years
ago. The mayor and city council are
at their wits end trying to convince
people that taxes for paving de-
velopment are a better investment
than newer model Cadillacs. We also
have drainage and sewage problems
in Conrad-very fundamental ones,
without doubt.
And because these problems, that
have been solved in earlier eras in
more populous parts of our country,
remain with us today, we who are
working for libraries in Montana
often find ourselves competing for
public support with people who
consider us Impractical and unrealis-
tic. I think their attitude springs
from an honest conviction that first
the Wilderness must be cleared,

I'm very happy to be here with all

tential library patrons. About all ne
provided was mass confusion and
shock. People, who had been dubious
about patronizing the library before,
became firmly convinced that it was
merely a home for wayward vermin
and they stayed away in droves. We
were forced to exterminate BERTHE.
Fortunately, in these early stages,
we realized we were floundering, so
we solicited the counselling services
of the Montana State Library Ex-
tension Commission. 1t was the
brightest thing we could have done.
Ruth Longworth came flying to our
aid and provided us with invaluable
services and advice. Almost all of the
steps we've taken during the past
year have been based on her sug
gestions and those of Mrs. Jacobs
of the Great Falls Public Library.
They've saved us much valuable time
and many tax dollars that might have
been wasted on expensive mistakes.
We in Conrad can't praise the Com
MISSIONS services too highly.
Because our Conrad library, in
the process of transition, presents a
rather dramatic picture of a dormant
little collection of books rapidly de-
veloping into true library, I'd like
to run over the high points in the
stages of it's developments, so far,
here with you this afternoon.
One year ago our library was a
single room in the City Hall filled
with a collection of books that had
been accumulated over the years

editor of thfS issue of NOTE
BOOK is Larry Petit, Lewistown
who recently joined Senator Murray's
staff as research assistant Larry was
1958-59 president of the student body
at Montana State University. With
this issue we're closing the NOTE
BOOK until Congress reconvenes in
January. Merry Christmas.)
For years Senator Murray and
other legislators have felt that some
of the real and simulated fears of
federal bankruptcy could be elimi-
mated if the federal government
would bring it's system of public ac-
counting up to date by adopting a
capital budget, which is used widely
by industrial concerns. There are at
present two bills. before the Senate
calling for this reform in federal
accounting procedures. In addition,
many organizations have adopted res
olutions to this effect, the last being
the Mid-Wast Electric Consumers
Association.
WHAT is A CAPITAL BUDGET?
At present the government operates
on a unified budget, whereas the
adoption of capital budget would
provide dual budget system of this
type: The first budget would show
the relation between the current con-
sumptive expenditures and the cur
rent net income. The second, or cap
ital. budget would be a departure
from the present system in that it
would consider government expendi-
lures for such things as public build
ings. dams, reforestation projects,
parks, and water reservoirs for irri-
cation purposes as investments, rath-
er than consumptive expenditures.
Therefore the capital budget would
show the longtime relation between
future income and amortized capital
outlays. Private industries do not
consider expenditures in the form
of investments as part of the deficit, |
but the government, under its present
system, does. The capital budget
would alleviate this and give us a |
more realistic look at the national
debt, while at the same time it would
give a new ring to the familiar
ciche, balance the budget.
THE CAPITAL BUDGET IN
RELATION TO PUBLIC WORKS
During the last three decades
large part of our public expenditures
has been for public works of various
kinds. many of which are self-liqui-
dating. Likewise, there have been
many expenditures for state enter
prises that haN utilized existing hu-
man and material resources more
fully, and have yielded income to the
The criticism leveled
against these expenditures has come
