Throughout my term of office, CO..
operation has been the key to prog

citizens and educators have helped
to bring about many achievements.
The curriculum development work is
an outstanding example of what can
be done through cooperative efforts,
even though funds are lacking. Now,
thanks to the efforts of our State
Curriculum Committees, Montana is

An Open Letter to the Residents
Of the Flathead:
Upon our arrival in Butte at pm.
February 18th we observed that there
was not the usual hustle of Saturday
evening people about the streets and
also that the stores were closed as
we'll as most of the service stations.
There was no traffic problem as
there were very few cars moving
along the streets. Parking spaces
along the streets were vacant to the
extent that we could have parked
almost anywhere that we chose.
We drove to the City Hall where
we were met by Mayor Griffith.
Mayor Griffith took us to the rear
of the City Hall and showed us where
we were to unload the commodities
we had brought. 1t was garage
where the City Police Department
store their vehicles. Adjacent to the
garage was the Police Station.
Mayor Griffith made us welcome
and thanked us for the contribution
to the people of Butte.
The officers ON duty were very
helpful in getting personnel to unload
our trucks. Within just a few min
utes there were ten men at work
unloading the commodities into the
garage. Still later there were more
men made available.
Mayor Griffith's committee, the
Silver Bow Emergency Air Commit
tee, had already been set up and put
into operation. This committee is a
project of the city administration
and is i'm NO way connected with any
labor organization. The help given by
this committee is extended to all who
need welfare aid regardless of union
affiliation. At the present time there
are a great number of people who

Welfare Department Is anxious to see

take many years to alleviate the re-
sponsibility of the state to see that
these fatally disabled people are prop
erly provided for, so the sooner the
shift begins the sooner the job will
be done.
However. it is unlikely one de-
partment of state government would
tell another what to do. Cutting the
payment from $75 to $50 may put
pressure in some places, but hardly
the right ones.
A Governor, truly interested in
the taxpayers might be using some
influence.
A bulwark to silicotics who might
apply under the law and be granted
payments is the fact that if payments
are lower than what he needs. to
maintain minimum standards of de-
cency and health the Welfare Depart
ment could supplement his income.
He would no longer be eligible for
the $75 a month silicotic payment,
but he could be eligible for assistance
under other provisions of the Welfare
Law.
The Industrial Accident Board in
formed me that the first step to come
under the law is to apply. They are
using already established forms for
this purpose.
Mr.. Swanberg says the mining i'm
dustry is already enrolled under the
act and have availed themselves of
insurance coverage necessary under
the new law. BY July 1, 1860, he said,
he hoped to get plan three employers
enrolled and premiums being paid.
He says the act is elective by the
industry, and that the law is vague"
as to what industries are hazardous
as pertains to industrial disease.
Pointing out that coverage is COM
pulsory in hazardous" industries, he
said determination must be made
as to what is hazardous i'm the i'm
dustrial disease field.
Weekly benefits to the disabled
under the industrial disease law are
the same as under other workmen's
compensation, but the industrial
disease law specifically disallows
compensation for partial disability.

with school operation i'm Montana
approaching a seventy -million-dollar-
a-year business. a better understand
ing of the basic principles of. school
finance is vital. The handbook is de-
signed to fill desperate and long
felt need for clarifying the complex
financial procedures established by
the school laws Miss Miller said.
"Since 1949, when the foundation
program principle of school finance
became law, constant srevisions and
amendments have resulted in con-
tinually more complicated procedures.
School officials have found it ex-
tremely difficult to unravel the many
technicalities, and citizens interested
in learning about school support have
found the subject battling. The new
handbook will offer an authoritative
and easily-understood reference for
everyone concerned with school fl
nance,'' the State Superintendent
said.
Miss Miller said that the book, now
being printed, will contain illustra-
tons of financing methods, step-wise
directions for school budgeting, def
nitions of terms used in school fl
nance. directions for accounting and
and many other aids,
all annotated with references to the
Montana laws which govern the pro-
cedures.

are in need of assistance. There are
those who were on welfare aid prev
ious to the labor difficulties and when
the welfare funds were depleted they
were in dire need of help. There are
the aged people, the widows and the
children who were completely cut
off at this point. 1t was to this end
that the drive in the Flathead was
carried on. Help for all
To set the record straight this drive
for food in the Flathead was not an
effort of union people, by union
people, for union people. 1t was a
drive of anyone interested, by any
one interested, for every needy per-
son in Butte. The drive was con-
ceived by union workers in Columbia
Falls in conjunction with the Labor
Unions of Kalispell. Together we
arranged points of pickup, storage
and methods of transportation.
Each man working at the plant in
Columbia Falls was asked to bring a
box containing a few cans of food
stuffs and few articles of clothing
1t was arranged to have "a truck at
the entrance to the plant property
one hour in advance of each shift
change to receive these boxes. The
number of boxes received was most
gratifying.
We wish to take this opportunity
to thank all of the business people
who contributed food and to thank
all of the individuals who contributed
food and clothing. We wish to give
thanks to the local radio stations and
newspapers for their splendid con-
trbution in making our drive known
to the residents of the valley. Also
the men who donated their trucks and
the time for making the trip. There
were three trucks in all. All trucks
were fully loaded. Enough gasoline
was donated to make the trip to
Butte by local service stations.
1t is amazing what a stockpile we
had by the time we were ready to
depart. This drive could not have
been possible or successful without
you people of the Flathead valley.
Some of the items transported were !:
5000 cans of canned food, 1000
pounds of potatoes, 1000 pounds of
apples, 500 pounds of onions, 80 doz-
EN- eggs (6 eggs were broken), sugar,
salt, lard, margarine, dried fruits
and vegetables, dried baby food
(milk). and am enormous amount of
clothing.
AT first it was thought that what
little we could gather would not be
worthy of the effort. In the end it
''snowballed" into total of nearly
ten tons of help. Ten tons of help is
a tremendous effort in any drive.
Help is coming i'm steadily from many
other cities of Montana as well.
While we were there a truck arrived
from Missoula.
Upon our departure from Butte ON
Sunday morning, February Ia, we
were proud of the people of the Flat
head for having contributed so gem
erously. Thank you ONE and all.
