NY "Two-Bit's Worth"

When / pick up a paper or magazine
one of the first things l look for is
the "open forum" if it has one. There
one finds many opinions and occasion
ally few ideas and ideas are always
of some value even though many times
incorrect.
For several years I have tried to
express % few ideas under the above
heading 1.-TWO Bits Worth" and have
had many comments some favorable and
some critical, and have enjoyed both

had few since my old friend E. j.
relapsed into comparative silence). Re-
Gently one of our senators with whom
I have sometimes disagreed, said that
he hoped 1 would keep the comment
going However, with 250word limit
alton that will be impossible.
Opinions may be expressed in $50
words or less but no idea worth while
can be properly presented in that
amount of space*. So since l try to
present at least one idea, l will be
compelled to retire to my monastery.
For years most readers had read and
enjoyed the ideas presented by the
late Lowndes Maury and he and his in
formation will be greatly missed even
though many disagreed with him.
Now this is closely approaching the

while cannot be properly presented with
that limit but opinions may be and my
opinion of the 250-limit can be ex-
pressed in just one word:

At Montana Training School
Few Parents Help Pay Cost Of
Supporting Their Children

ment papers, and fees are set by
County Commissioners or by the dis
trict court on advice of the County
Welfare Department.
The School, according to the super
intendent, does not recommend that
charges shall be unreasonable, but
that they be made with consideration
of family income, and needs of other
children in the family. 1t does not
recommend that the family home
should be mortgaged or that it should
interfere with parents making suit
able provision for their old age.
DR.. Westwell noted that if the
School did not have a successful
ranch which provides dairy, beef,
pork, poultry, vegetables and other
products, the per capita cost would
be about $4.70 rather than the $2.70.
The ranch operations save Montana
taxpayers over half a million dollars
a year.
HB 235, introduced by Jar
dine, Wood and Bardanouve on
Wednesday, would correct this.

UCC Fund Should Be
Built to $100 Million
Editor of the Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana:

Editor of the Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana:
1t is heartening to hear of an aggres-
sive Legislature in Helena after all
these years of waiting. Judging from
what Democratic leaders say this
should be the most productive session
since that of 1949 under Governor Bon
ner.
In giving priority to the unemployed
the Legislature is doing the right
thing. There is nothing more fearful
to % worker than the spectre of unem-
ployment and loss of income. Nothing
hurts a community like the presence
of unemployment among its citizens.
Montana can always expect recurring
heavy loads of unemployment because
of the seasonal and variable nature of
most of its industries. For this reason
the u. c. Act must be strengthened,
even If objections from the other side
of the aisle have to be overruled, in
order that the Democrats take action
to correct an uncharitable Republican
wrong.
In order to strengthen the u. c. fund
the merit rating of employers should
be suspended until the fund reaches
a total of one hundred million dol
lars. Then, in order to distribute the
cost fairly, all employers should be
a uniform rate to maintain
the fund. The present merit rating
severely against the sea-
sonal and fluctuating employer through |
no fault of his own.
1t is also the writer's opinion that |
f Labor wants more than the present |

t is incumbent and proper that Labor

through a payroll tax equal to that
# the employers. With both employers

1g the fund. Labor too, should share

The per capita cost of maintaining
a child at the Montana State Train
ing School at Boulder is $2.70 per
day, according to figures presented to
the Legislative Assembly by DR..
Arthur E. Westwell, superintendent
of the school. DIR. WestwelPs figures
further show that only six families
out of the 75O students at the school
pay maximum of $500 per day.
Some time ago the State Board of
Education recommended bill be pre-
sented to this session of the Legisla-
ture calling for a re-evaluation of
ability to pay of the families of chill

DR.. Westwell points out that
many children were entered in the
institution during the depression
when their parents were without
funds, but that many of these fami-
lies have recovered and are capable
of helping out now.

selves this pointed question: Are they inter
eSted in marrying only knockout type? If so,
why? The answer may turn out to be jolt.
The fact is that a good percentage of males
want to be seen with the especially pretty girls,
the pick Of the lot, because they need the spe-
cial status this kind Of victory gives them in
their group. To them, woman is less part
ner or wife than prestige symbol. much like
yacht or house with swimming pool.
This is hardly the best basis for marriage.
Beauty, after all, is perishable. When a man
learns he's no longer regarded as the pOsSessor
Of prize, he may seek another blue ribbon
to re-estabIish his status.
0ow can a man distinguish between
the two kinds of beautiful women = that is,

He knew all the tricks of being
theatrical and used them for
the benefit of society and him
self. That he should be so
radiantly resurrected for the
stage is no more than the due
of a raspy-voiced, burly midget
whose bounce and brashness
were unfailingly dramatic.
1t is fitting, too, that Fiorel-
los gleam has been ample to
lift a relative unknown, Tom
Bosley, to the top level OF
Broadway's enthusiasm. BoSley,
q former Arena Stage actor in
Washington, is every squat
pound of him an ideal Fiorello.
1t is a triumphant David-like
figure he cuts at the center OF
the elaborate entertainment
staged so artfully by George
Abbott. 1t is one of the charms
of "Fiorello." incidentally, that
so many of its Cutlery names
are among its creators rather
than its performers.
In addition to Mr.. Abbott,
these include Jerome Weidman,
book; Jerry Book, music; Shell
don Harnick, lyrics; Peter Gen
marc, choreography; and Will
liam and Jean Eckhart, set
tings, lighting and costumes.
The Eckharts have done one
of their most brilliant jobs in
recreating Fiorello's old, hap

The delight of "Fiorello" is
In its loud, spirited echo OF its

enough for him that his Italian
Jewish lineage supplied him
with discomfort. 1t imbued him
also wiah a reforming zeal, plus
an absolute confidence that he
was born to correct all forms OF
social and political wayward-
ness.
The youthful, fighting, out
rageously cocky LaGuardia is
the one upon whom "Fiorello"
concentrates.
Few characters could lend
themselves more readily to mu-
sical comedy dressing.
