an interesting event which took
place in Franklin on July s when
her brother and his wife. Mr..

married 50 years. Mr.. Maxey
was a patient at the time at the

The staff of the hospital had
few guests in and served

gloomy Since the Maxey family
is well known by many in the

the hospital was too good not to

Perhaps the greatest satisfac-

Keep Your Guard Up is the
song Farmville National
Guardsnen are singing these
days. And joining in on h G
chorus is Warrant Officer James
II. Newly, who has been APP
pointed recruiting officer in
charge of a special drive be
tween February Z and March z.
Company B. Commanding Of
ficer R. Julian Bradshaw has a
word for the man who has a
military obligation. From him
comes the statement: "All men
age l8 and over do have an
obligation. and may fulfill that
obligation in the Guard and re-
main at home at the same
time
Captain Bradshaw cited the
Importance Of the Guard in the
national defense makeup, and
said, Young men who have an
obligation to their country owe
it to themselves to find out what
the Guard offers in its program
and its methods for one to full
fill his obligations.
The local Guard unit has been
authorized to go full strength
which in terms of numbers
means an additional 90 men can
be added to the roll. However.
that number has already shrunk,
according to Newly. Four men
have taken the oath, and three
more have indicated they will.
Interested men are invited to
visit the armory on Tuesday
nights to see for themselves
what the Guard is like, or may
contact the recruiting officer at
the armory during the day.
Newly compented on tn e
various programs available for
men who have obligations that
can be met through the Ma
tional Guard. They are:

fer to the standby Guard for
two years to complete a six
year obligation. If a man falls
in this age group and is a
senior in high school, his six
months of active duty training
can be delayed until he gradu-
ates, or for one year at the
most.

| stitutions has been doing some think
ing along these lines. The matter
was brought to head by Monsignor
Emmett j. Reilly when he opposed
the going ahead with the tin gym
at the Boys Industrial School at
Miles City. Casper Wolhowe, the in
stitution head, had asked the board
to reconsider the action of last year
of allowing the $4,000 appropriated
to revert to the general fund because
the steel building available at that
time were totally unsuitable.
A very snappy steel building has
recently been developed by the Gown
Co. of Minneapolis. The ITO by 210
foot building would be "a feet high
and insulated for the 100000. An
other $4,000 would put in the floor,
bleachers, etc. ss..i
The Monsignor was quite dubious
as to whether this would fill the
real need for the boys who are iso-
lated "a hours of the day. Athletic

wall will not allow it to be operated
in that manner. The building utiliza-
ton will be examined by the Board
of Education but the overall planning
of needs there deserves first con-
sideration.
The waiting list is really four lists
because of the separation by age and
sex. For example, the institution may
have room for a six-year-old boy but
not for a thirteen-year-old girl. The
plant requirement and teaching limi-
tations determine whether a specific
child can be admitted or not.-FS

r he Board of Education has abdi-
Gated as reasoning rational group
in charge of Montana education and
has become an underground system
of interlocking gopher noles. This is
bad situation especially when so
much of the University system needs
good airing and lots of sunlight.
At the meeting Monday very little
of the time was spent in the recep-
ton room which is the only place
the press is tolerated. The main topic
of the meeting, the budgeting of the
University system for the next two
years. never did see the light of day.
The University budget subcommittee
ducked out of the Capitol building
with it's new administrator, Russell
Barthell, to concoct a secret formula
for presentation to the financial COM
mittees of the Legislature. 1t was 50
involved that the subcommittee could
not make the three o'clock assembly
of the Regents. The subcommittee
return at four thirty to the reception
room left little time for anything to
come out. Nothing did.
The shake-up in the University
system promised by some of the law
makers is overdue. Indeed, Acting
Governor Paul Cannon felt it neces-
sary to remark after the meeting that
if he ever saw an example of secrecy
in government this was it. The chair
man of the meeting was not even
allowed to know what was going on.
The question whether the COM
tractors at Eastern Montana College
in Billings are robbing the students
out of the high building fees now
by the use of faulty con-
crete in the main arches. was not
publicly.
The weller of buildings which have
sprung up on the far flung campuses,
which have not been okayed by the
Legislature or been tested in the
courts, have not been justified as to
need in an overall university plan.
How much planning is needed of the
overall system and for how long a
period the planning should cover and |
now much it will cost to prevent the
irrational growth we have witnessed |

LABOR, TOO, MUST
REORIENT THINKING

The labor movement is going to
have to think less of getting higher
wages for those already getting good
wages and think in terms of higher
wages for those now low on the
lie service. Labor in the high income
bracket should be asking instead for
more of the wealth of the nation to
be put into full operation to bring
more schools, more hospitals, more
slum clearance and more develop
ment of resources, he said.
"In doing these things we will
be doing that which stops us from
becoming a second class nation and
it will be good for private enter
prise nourish society and we
will be creating markets business
does not have now, Silvey said.
owe are going to have to have
public investment and private enter
prise to get more rapid public
increment and public growth in the
society.
docs the private enterprise sys-
tenn exist primarily to make profit
or does it exist to produce for the
use of people?" he asked, adding,
''the primary use of private enter
prise should be to provide goods and
services for people in the process of
which there is created profit, but
that concept is being perverted when
children need oranges and growers
et them rot when they can not sell
hem for profit.

DON'T NEED MORE PLANT
CAPACITY TODAY

In dynamic presentation Silvey
made the following points:
There must be a relationship be-
tween private enterprise and public
investment. Today we do not need
new plant and equipment when we
are only operating at a fraction of
our present capacity. We have great
abundance. Technology and energy
are taking over the jobs that people
used to do. Steel can produce as
much in months as can be used in
IL months.
The difference between manufac-
turing and agriculture is that you can
not shut down farm and you can
shut down factory; you can not
shoot the chicken or the GOVT
would be the same thing as smashing
the machinery or blowing up the
factory, in farming you have to go
through with the harvest cycle.
No longer is man faced with the
problem of getting enough to eat,
but with having so blessed much that
everyone can be provided for, if we
can rid ourselves of the ancient con-
cept that we produce only for profit
and adopt a new concept of provid-
ing for people.
The evil ways of ancient times
are being repeated, we have more
things and less happiness, we are
going In for vulgar ostentations and
we are doing things for the wrong
reasons. We should be doing the right
,hlngs for the right reasons and not
Iust because the communists will
make us do it, he concluded.
