The highest per-acre bonus bid
was made by the Pan American
and Gulf Oil Companies, bidding
jointly, and was offered for land
located about Z miles southwest
of Browning in the so-called dis
turbed belt" along the mountain
front.
The low per acre bid of S211
per acre was made by Wheatley
and Void for 220 acres of allot-
ted, or individually owned Indian
land.
No bids of less than $500 per
acre were made on land by the
Blackfeet Tribe as the Tribal
Council advertised the land with
minimum bid price of $500 per
acre.
A total of 80 tracts of tribal
land totalling 24,O31 80 acres were
advertised for sale. Of these, %
tracts totalling 6,972.09 acres re-
ceived no bids. A total of ITO
tracts of individually owned land
totalling 26,O83.80 acres were adj
vertised with n tracts totalling
17,656.73 acres receiving no bids.
The combine of Gulf Oil and
Pan American apparently offered
the most bonus money at the sale,
with their interest being concen-
trated in the extreme southwest
ern part of the reservation.
Considerable speculation i'm
mediately arose as result of the
sale, with most experts predicting
additional drilling on the noun
tain front in the very near fu-
ture. Local optimists called at
tention to the fact that they have
been continually predicting that
this area has not been adequately
tested despite the fact that four
deep tests have been drilled with
only one, the Morning Gun, show
ing any definite sign of oil and
gas production.
The Blackfeet Tribal Council
will hold a special meeting at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, March 81,
to determine the adequacy of the
bids on tribal land offered in the
sale. If all high bids on this land
are accepted, the Tribe will re-
ceive a total of S873, 698.84 in
bonus money.
Bids on all allotted tracts will
be submitted to the land owners
for acceptance or rejection. How
ever, there is little doubt that at
least two allottees, Agnes Hun
CRY Warbonnett and Tom Kittson,
will accept the high bids on their
land. $4,000 in bonuses was of
fered on the Agnus Warbonnett
land and $4,000 was offered on
the Kittson land. Bids on other
allotted tracts, while not being
as high, are substantial.
Most casual observers are more
than pleased at the results of the
sale. While many are impressed
with the amount of money in bon
uses which was offered, others
are predicting another small
boom" in the oil future of the
area.

Noyes Proposes Court
For All Family Issues

Montgomery County Juvenile
Court Judge Alfred D. Noyes
said today he favors a family
court that would handle all
matters growing out of family
relationships.
Such a court would include
divorce, adoption and other
family-related adult proceed
ings as we'll as juvenile cases
now handled by Juvenile Court.
Judge Noyes warned, how
ever, that should family courts
be established, it is vital that
the juvenile cases. dealing with
delinquency and dependency,
mot become a side issue"
Some adult divorce proceed
ings, for example, would not in
volve children in any way. But
they would be handled in a
family court.
Judge Noyes was a panelist
at a session on family courts
at the annual conference spon-
sored by the Health and We'll
fare Council of the National
Capital Area in the Statler-
Hilton Hotel today.
1t is easy, Judge Noyes said,
for family courts to get so
involved in adult cases that
juvenile cases are neglected.
Judge Noyes stressed that a
family court is Only effective
when it is provided with the

and others to implement its
program.
The judge said that since
children's problems are GEN.
tered in the home, the develop
ment of the family court con-
cept is "the logical outgrowth
from the Juvenile Court.
AS to the philosophy of di-
vorce proceedings, Judge Noyes
said, Our system should be
such that where legal grounds
exist for divorce, people should
be able to get divorced without
washing their dirty linen in
public"
However. another panelist,
John Alexander, an attorney
and member of the board of
directors of the District Bar
Association, said that the con-
cept of establishing guilt to
secure a divorce must not be
abandoned.
Mr.. Alexander declared,
"Only a few years ago one of
the biggest deterrents to di-
vorce was the fact that di-
vorced persons were no longer
socially acceptable. You must
agree with me that this has
broken down in society"
Mr.. Alexander was not in
favor of family courts, which
would include an opportunity
for marital counseling.

but the younger panelists dis
agreed.
Rabbi Brickner said teen
ayers might have a different
view if they felt they had a
vested interest in the commu-
nifty. Today's youth does not
have such a feeling, he said.
In general, the panel agreed
that available recreational fa-
cilities are adequate for the
needs of young people.
They also expressed general
satisfaction with youths use Of

about the same way when she

The panel decided that adult

though the younger members
of the panel regarded super

Miss Cheryll E. Cooper, Is, a

Youths Debate Leisure ime

Young people today consid-

make constructive social con-
tributions to their community.
This is the conclusion of an
adult-youth panel discussion
on youths leisure activities at
the annual Health, Welfare and
Recreation Conference today
at the Statler- Hilton Hotel.
The panel, moderated by
Rabbi A. Balfour Brickner of
Temple Sinai in Washington.
concluded that youth feels lei
sure time is to be used to "get
away from. not get into" civic
activities.
Panel member Curtis Won
Kann, II, a senior at Wakefield
High School in Arlington, sub
mitted that this is only natur-
al, since "teen-agers spend
most of their day in intensive
learning, and would rather re-
lax in their spare time"
The panel was discussing the
results of a survey of youths
leisure activities made last May
by the National Capital Area
Health and Welfare Council,
sponsors of today's meeting.
The survey showed most
teen-agers want to spend their
leisure time in outdoor sports,
and are least interested in add

as a lack of creativity," said
