Consolidation
Goes Smoothly,
Officials Say
Find County's
One Secondary
School Stronger

School consolidation, always a
touchy issue because somebody
usually has to give up some
thing, has worked out advan-
tageously and smoothly this
year in Prince Edward county.
For the first time this session
there is but one secondary
school. Prince Edward Acade-

school system, Worsham High.
was consolidated with the
Academy upper school at Farm
vile this year. The move
brought in about 20 additional
pupils from the Worsham and
Darlington Heights area. an d
jumped the single schools en-
rollment to 476.
The private school system
concluded what had been a
gradual process under public
schooling. Worsham was tn e
last secondary school left among
the number which once includ-
ed high schools also at Rice,
Green Bay, Prospect and Darl-
ington Heights.
Adapt Well
Robert c. Gilmer, principal of
the consolidated school, reports
that both the new students and
those whose entire years have
been spent here have adapted
to make the adjustment go well.
1T is a two-way proposition,
he reports. I'VE have bene-
fitted by the contributions of
both the new students and teach
ers and they have profited from
new opportunities available in
a larger school. l think it is
safe to say that the transition
has been made successfully and
we are now a united, effective
school,"
Underscoring his mutual adj
vantage opinion, Gilmer point
ed out that consolidation has re-
suited in courses in both general
shop and vocational agriculture

shop was offered at Farmville.

was no opportunity of choice.
Now there is.
Roy R. Pearson. school Foun-
dalton administrator, reports
that consolidation has presented
no administrative problems and
has resulted in numerous AGA
demic advantages.
Academic Advantages
For former Worsham students
the availability of fuller voca-
tional courses, including bust
ness courses is one of the chief
advantages. Previously at Wor-
sham, tipping and shorthand
courses were offered on alter
nate years. but bookkeeping had
never been available. Now all

and physics are courses offered
at the consolidated Academy
never available at Worsham.
Pear son also cited the
strengthening of the library,
with the consolidation of books;
the strengthened guidance and
counseling services required for
state generalization.
The addition of new teachers
have provided a better balance
in offerings and advantageous

est threat to the Pentagon of
an economy cut was eased at
the last minute.
The $40 billion bill, passed
by both House and Senate yes
terday, gives the administra-
ton about $3.50 million more
than it asked. Congress added
money for a bigger standby
airborne alert for the big bomb
ers, voted extra money for the
BIO all-purpose bomber, for
Army modernization, for nu-
clear submarine, missiles and
q variety of other items.
But at the same time, Con-
gress voted to reduce the ad-
n1inistration's request for pro
curement" by 8 per cept-or
about $400 inillion--and to cut
administrative costs by S18 mil
lion.
Hits Capital Area
This last reduction is ex-
pected to be the biggest trou-
blemaker. And it hit squarely
at the Washington area.
The intention of Congress
was to force the Defense De-
partment to pare expenses of
its big headquarters, most of
them in. Washington.
The administration asks 1886
million for these headquarters
almost all Of it for salaries. In
order to absorb the cut, the
Defense Department will have
to reduce Its payrolls.
Pentagon officials have not
had time to study the new bill
in detail, so all its implications
are not yet clear. No one knows
whether the Department of De-
tense will have to fire a large
number of headquarters work.
ers or whether normal turnover
plus the current Pentagon-
initiated 5 per cent reduction in
civilian personnel win save the
necessary money.
Congressman who initiated
this cut say it is designed not
to affect military personnel or
foreign based civilian employees,
and it was made flexible in
order to make it easy on de-
fense officials.
The original House-passed
bill called for a fat 10 per
cent cut in headquarters
spending here, which probably
would have meant a 10 per
cent reduction in people. The
Senate, at the request of Sec
retary Of Defense Gates, drop
ped this provision. The House.
Senate conference. arrived at
the present compromise.
Except for the personnel cut.
Congress gave the adIninistra-
ton all the breaks. The ad-
ministration need not spend
the extra money if it does not
want to. and it has potential
leeway to compensate every
procurement cut.
The chances are good right
now that most of the extra
money VIII not be spent by
this administration. What
Congress did in effect was the

Johnson Urges Defense
To Spend Voted Funds

Tense, who since has Joined
the staff of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Senator johnson said the
Gale memorandum established
guidelines or financial direc-
tives for Pentagon heads pre-
pairing the next fiscal years
budget.
Paragraphs Quoted
The Senate leader inserted
this paragraph which he said
came from the directive:
In so far as our watchword
is the 'risk-taking responsible
tiles of free, self-confident in
dividuals,' we will be true to the
principles which have devel-
oped our Nation; in so far as
the Nation has followed cradle
to the grave security, we have
dulled our resistance to unwise
spending and to a creeping in
| lfiation."
And he quoted a second
which stated that If Congress
voted extra funds where the
law does not require expendi-
lures, agencies should reserve
the increases and carry them
forward to the maximum
practical extent to Fly (fiscal
yearl 1852"
Senator Johnson said this
appears a clear order to brush
aside congressional intent.
Political Poser Raised
He added that since writing
the memorandum. Mr.. Gale
has transferred his desk to
the Republican National Com
mittee where, it is said, he will
head a special five-man infor-
nation unit to prepare back

The only question in my
mind is whether this June 9th
memorandum, establishing the
guidelines for the 1862 budget,
was meant to be part of the

so, I welcome it because the
glib slogans it contains rather
clearly betray some of the rea-
sons for the drift and delay

To the Glacier Reporter:
I am going to point this brief
note directly to the narrow mind
ed citizens who have criticized
one of the most public spirited
men in our town-namely Fred
Cobell. Sr.
Fred has been out with the
city grader trying to get our
streets in somewhat passable
condition. He is doing this work
on his own time-without recon-
pense of any kind. He has even
bought gas on occasion out of
his own pocket, and has made
several trips in the past to Great
Falls for repair parts. He is not
paid by the city, county, nor
state for this. He is doing this
work just because it needs to
be done and his only reward
is the FEELING OF job well done.
Now-some of you who would
mt and couldn't do this work
for love nor money, have made
the remark that Fred must be
getting rich from the city by
doing this. Shame on you'll This
has been brought to my atten-
ton and unless you make either
IA public or private apology, I'm
afraid the grader will remain
idle and our streets will remain
in the mess they are in. The
city does not have the money
to hire a grader man.
You undoubtedly can't under
stand this, but there are people
in our town who do things like
Fred is doing with no reward
in mind--and with no personal
gain in view-they just like to

Now. suggestions on seeding
irrigated pastures.
Arthur Shaw, Extension agron-
omist, points out that you'll have
much better success with your
new pasture if you pay attention
to six key steps at seeding time.
First, he said, prepare really
clean seedbed that is as free as
possible of weeds and other
plants.
Give serious thought to the
kind of pasture mixture you plan
to use, being sure it is suited
to the purpose and is adapted
to your area.
You'll find information on pas
ture mixtures in the new Mon
tana Agricultural Experiment
Station bulletin entitled, "for-
age crops for Montana" You
can get a copy at the County
Extension Office.
In buying seed, buy for quail
ity-preferably certified seed.
Cheap seed is the most expensive
in the long run.
Have a firm seeded and adj
just your drill to place the seed
at a shallow depth-one-half to
three fourths of an inch.
If it is necessary to apply
phosphate fertilizer, the time to
do it is during seeded prepare
ton and not after seeding.
Lastly, contrary to popular be-
lief, il is not necessary TO seed
a nurse or companion crop along
with the pasture mixture.

First, a few words to those
of you whose lawns are infested
with dandelions and plantain =
and most of us, il seems, are in
that situation.
Eugene Heikes, Extension
Weed Specialist, reminds us that
these two common lawn weeds
are easier TO kill early in the
season when they are growing
actively. To delay until the
plants are older and tougher
means that the job will be more
difficult.
On established lawns Heikes
recommends applying 2,4D am
inc at the rate of one and one
half to three tablespoons of 40
percent active 2.4D per thou
sand square feet. Treating a new
lawn with 2.4-D is not recon-
mended until it is at least so
days old.
In spraying established lawns.
Heikes also recommends that
you do not NOW the lawn for five
days before spraying or two days
after spraying.

Nation Faces Disaster.

AS the clouds of Federal intervention,
racial strife and ceaeIess agitation
hover over the American nation the
memory Of the once-mighty Roman En-
pie is called to mind. Rome was, at
one time in history the most civilized
state in the world. Her government was
a we'll organized, highly intelligent svs-
tenn - in fact the basis of most of the
worlds government structure today
Roman law is at the root Of most of the
major law codes throughout the civiiz-
ed world The Roman Republic fell prey
to the disease Of Capitalization, world
conquest and anaIgamation with other
races. The result was fatal.
Sadly today we are witnessing the
same spreading cancer of national dis
aster in our own homeland. American
military forces are scattered all over
the globe. Our foreign aid program"
leaves no Jungle tribe untouched. The
national government is becoming more
and more centralized as each year pas
ses. The choking fat of bureaucracy
tlghtens around the heart of American
government. Racial agitators and yea
lots are taking full advantage of the
