AASAS oAO AAe1AAy ways W
commit slow suicide. BY let
ting yourself get too fat: by
working 14-16 hours day
after day. and Dragging that
you are the type that doesn't
ever need a vacation: by
drinking and smoking too
much. y
THERE ARE DOZENS of
other ways to shuttle yourself
of this earth. One Of the
surest methods is to treat
yourself.
"Just how does that work?"
asked a patient. do you
mean to say that if I take an
aspirin occasionally for a
headache I may be endan-
gering my life2 Or milk of
magnesia once in a while for
a laxative? Or buy a bottle
Of cough medicine to take?"
Usually. it's not so much
what you take to treat your
self as how long you take it
that's important. You don't
commit slow suicide because
the drug itself may kill you.
No, it isn't that. The danger
lies in the procrastination
that usually results when you
treat yourself for a long time.
For example. suppose you
have a cough that "holds
on" Instead of going to your
doctor, you prescribe for
yourself by buying a bottle
Of cough medicine. You take
one bottle: Cough still there.
You take another: Cough
unimproved. And another
and another. Maybe months
have gone by. You have
procrastinated. You haven't
yet seen your doctor.
In such an instance you
are really gambling with
your life. It is true that all
you have is a cough that
sometimes hangs on for a
few months after a severe
virus infection. But how do
you know? You are only
guessing. And when you
"guess" about q diagnosis
you gamble your very life.
Every doctor sees the un-
fortunate results of such
guessing. I recall one grand
father, living with his mar
ried daughter, who was
taking a cough mixture they
brought him for his "bron-
chitis."
They had never taken him
to a doctor because he seemed
healthy otherwise. It was
unfortunate that the true
diagnosis of grandpa's cough
was made in a roundabout
way.
Two Of his grandchildren
developed tuberculosis. The
doctor searched for the orig
inal contact. They X-rayed
grandpa's chest and found
advanced tuberculosis. He
had had it for years.
UNKNOWINGLY, he had
transmitted the infection to
his loving grandchildren.
Here is an example, where
self-treatment lost valuable
time and obscured the real
enemy.
Think Of the thosuands
who treat themselves many
months for indigestion"
which turns out to be due to
ulcer or cancer of the stom-
ach or bowels. Diagnosed
early. there might have been
more happy endings.
Think Of the tens Of thou
sands Of men with angina
or coronary thrombosis who
treat themselves for "gas
under the chest" and think
it's due to something they
ate"

Aronson is leaving for an execu-
tive committee session of the Ma
tional Governors Conference in Las
Vegas the weekend of February 20
22. The Governor must feel pretty
lucky because he is then going to

own expense on March SO. These
short jabs away from Montana will
give 1t. Gov. Paul Cannon little
chance to swing into action.
The deterioration of the Board of
Examiners is thing which may be
a cause for concern in some segments
of the population. At the beginning
of the year 1859 the Board was hold
ing three meetings week, then two,
and now hardly a need for ONE.
The words. Board of Examiners,
appear hundreds of times in the sta
tute book. The exact number is being
researched. How the meeting of the
three anointed by the polls has any
affect on Montana affairs is the
question. Does this trinity really have
a function other than publicity for
the participants? The office functions
are duplicated in several other of
fices. The "newsholnds'' are fully
able to ferret out the facts of gov
erning Montana anytime they feel
like it.
This office must regain it's con-
troll over Montana. The power lust of
the appointees of our mrlti-boarded

The Board of Examine has been
under study of the Legislative Counr
Gil for some time as to it's true func-
ton in the affairs of Montana.
This Wednesday was perhaps the
meeting which stripped it down to
its turning point. Attorney General
Forrest Anderson and Secretary of
State Frank Murray went through
the bid opening ceremony and took
under advisement the apparent low
bid of Taylor-McD onnell of Butte
for the addition to the Minimum Sc
curity Building at the Deer Lodge
State Prison.
That was all that could be. done
because the warden and the architect
are ON tour.

Copper Strike
.Aronson Shows
Himself To Be
Weak Governor

Governor Aronson's state
ment last Friday that he has
no statutory power to intervene
in the six month old copper
strike that is working such
hardship on Butte and all
Montana-is the statement of
a weak Governor, Willard E.
Fraser o f Billings asserted
Wednesday.

Governors mind" said Fraser,

statutory power to issue the
Emancipation Proclamation !;
Thomas jefferson did not have
the statutory power to make

Andrew johnson did not have
the statutory power to nego-
tiate for the purchase of Alas

Men who knew and understood
the pOwers-powers, duties,
and responsibilities of their Of
flee. Cleveland, Dixon, and
Ayers, and many other glorious
office holders in the past like
wise understood the full mean
ing of leadership.
"Were | the Governor, and

strike of the magnitude of the
present copper strike took
place, I'd give both sides a rea-
sonable-but short period to

Two Good Arguments
Against the Sales Tax

Has the American Association of
Manufacturer become a "fellow-
traveller organization? The NAM
says che Communists IN Russia are
talking about levying a nationwide
sales tax as the most practical way
of getting money away from peo-
pie. The NAM thinks this is fine
idea for both Russia and the u. s..
The sales tax, of course. is the
most unfair kind of tax there is,
because it taxes people who are the
least able to pay on the same basis
as those who are best able to pay.
But, of course, if both the NAM
and the Communists are in favor of
such tax there's no room left for
debate. 1t must be wrong.-COPE.

SiIieosis $25Cut,
Again Displays
Welfare, Bias

sThe reduction of Silicosis pay
ments is just another effort by the
State Welfare Board to penalize Sill
comfort to the Anaconda Company
Ernest Salvas, international Board
member of the Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, said Wednesday
The Welfare Department has mott
fled silicotics who have been receiv-
ing $75 month by legislative act,
that their March payments will be
reduced to $50.
The action, according to the de-
partment spokesman, was taken to
keep within the appropriation of the
last legislature. The Department of
Public Welfare underestimate the
payments to these people when they
applied for funds from the 1859
Legislature because they anticipated
more silicotics would take advantage
of the noccupational disease law also
passed by the $50 lawmakers.
Much confusion surrounds the new
law. The basic question is whether
there is automatic cOverage by any
employer under the act. There is also
the problem facing a claimant at this
point-whether an individual should
be the first guinea pig and press for
determination
Union attorneys, who claim In
dusta-ial Accident Board Chairman
Robert Swanberg has made no state
ment of policy ON the new provisions
in the law, have told this reporter
that it is only natural the ailing man,
eligible for compensation, and un-
doubtedly short on funds. will go

until there are some Qualifications of

covering occupational disease under

Four More peas Pay Off

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
-Four more production credit associa-
lions retired the last of their govern
ment capital in 1859 and became fully
farmer-owned. This leaves only 38
of the 494 peas that haven't repaid
the last dollar of their debt to the
u. S. Treasury. Together, they still
owe $2.8 million.
Through these co-ops, farmers get
short-term credit for practically any
farm purpose. They're borrowing
more than $4,000 million year.
The four that became fully farmer
owned last year are in Greensburg,
Kan, Chandler and Chickasha, Okla,

Urge Motor Boat
Operators To
Observe laws

The Montana Fish and Game
Department again urges those per-
sons operating motor boats on
Montana waters to observe the
boating regulations. Many viola
tons have been observed recently,
apparently because boat owners
fail to read and observe the regu-
lations.
Some of the more common
violations are:
/. improper marking of boat.
The law states that the registra-
ton numbers must be fastened to
each side Of the bow of the boat
and be of a contrasting color so
as to be easily legible. (Letters
and numbers must be at least 8"
high.)
2. Improper lighting of motor
boat. All motor boats operating
during the hours of darkness must
display the following lights: a
green light on the starboard
(right) side of the bow; a REQ
light on the port (left) side OF
the bow and a white light on the
stern, which is visible over a 36C
degree radius. This means tina
on cabin-type boats, the light mus
be above the cabin so as to be
visible from the bow.
3. Failure to carry the required
number and type of fire extingui.
shers. All boats of closed construc.
ton must carry a u. S. Coas
Guard = Approved fire extin,
guisher. Enclosed boats are defined
as follows:
a. Vessels containing closet
compartments.
b. Vessels with bilges which ar
enclosed so as to permit the &C
emulation of gasoline vapors.
C. Vessels which have any com
partment in which gasoline vapor
may accumulate.
. Motor boats of open construction
must carry a fire extinguishe
capable, according to the manu-
facturers specifications, of extin
gushing burning gasoline.
The Department also points on
, that it is the legal responsibility c
= the registered boat owner to sc
that his boat complies with tn
current regulations as to opera
lions and equipment required.
A copy of the boating regula
= tons is available from all Icens
agents in the state or from an

Every Accident
Is An Elner geney

Any traffic accident is an m
Urgency, even if it's just a crum-
pied fender. If you know how to
handle any emergency, you'll have
a better chance of keeping cool,

accident.
First. and most important of all:
If anyone is hurt, get assistance
immediately. Find the nearest
phone and report the accident to
the police, requesting medical as
Sistance or an ambulance, if
necessary. Apply first aid if you
r trained to do so. Otherwise,
leave the injured persons alone.
Take notes ON any apparent
minor injuries. Get the names and
addresses of those who seem in
Jured or dazed.
Find out what hit you. Ask to
see the other drivers auto regis
tration card. Copy from it the
owners name, address, auto licen-
Sc number, and make, model and
year of his car.
Take down the name, address
and age of the other driver. Ii

Also note the date, time, weather
conditions, traffic signs and any
unusual traffic conditions.
Make notes on the speed of the
cars, what signals were given

1859 Wool Payment
Figures Announced

A total of $5O,4O8.81 has been
paid to Richland County wool
growers as incentive payments
under the national wool program
for the 1859 marketing year, &C
cording to Arthur A. Anderson,
chairman of the County Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton committee.
This is all, 100 percent of the
payments the county expects to
make ON wool and unshorn lambs
marketed during the year from
April l, 1859, through March 81,
1860, Mr.. Anderson said.
The payment rate for shorn wool
is 1872 percent of the growers
net proceeds from wool market
ings, or $43.20 per 500 received
from marketings, Mr.. Anderson
explained. For unshorn lambs,
the rate is rs cents per hundred
weight for the Iveweight of lambs
sold.
There is a deduction from each
growers payment to provide g
fund used in promoting the sale
of wool and lamb. This deduction
authorized by growers in a refer
endum, amounts to one cent Z
pound for shorn wool and 5 cents
a hundredweight for unshorr
lambs.
The wool program, authorized
by the National Wool Act,is de.
signed to increase the annual woo
output of the United States to /;
total of 800, GOO, 1000 pounds. Thi!
is done by means of incentive pay.
ments which bring the average
price received by growers fo.
wool to 81 cents per pound.
Payments are now being mad,
ON applications received up t,
May l., 1860. The 1860 marketin,
year will continue until March 81
1861, and payments for market
ings during that period will b
made next summer.
