Will We Hunt In
Our National Parks?

One of the most hotly debated
issues among SportSmen in months
TO come will be the question about
what to do about surplus game
populations in our national Parks,
according to an editorial in Mon
tana Sports Outdoors magazine
for November. The magazine gives
a report ON the recent recommen-
dalton of the Association of West
ern Game and Fish Commission
ers which voted to permit hunting
in national parks if big game
problems exist. According to the
magazine, the commissioners see
public hunting as the most ac-
ceptable means of reducing ov-
erpopulationS of big game as elk
and deer.
The same issue discusses the
controversial subject OF hunter
safety c%olorS, the growing COM
petition for water between
sportsmen and ranchers, the facts
behind the recent "trout cancer
scare, and the new steel-plastic
shotshell. There is an area by area
report on ohe states pheasant
hunting situation and two pages
of Illustrations showing how to
identify Montana waterfowl. The
issue includes a general digest of
current outdoor news and several
4eautre articles of interest to
Montana sportsmen.

GRIZZLY

Missoula - Although they all
might not make it, Montana has
a host of all-Skyline football can
didates this season. Six Grizzly
gridderS, in fact, will probably be
high up among the leagues vote
gebterS when the official An-Sky-
line team is announced next
week.
First and foremost is MSU
quarterback Bob O'Billovich, the
170-pounder from Butte who led
the MontananS in passing, pass
interrogation and tackles during
the season. In this day and age
when most field generals are
pampered and spared the rigors
of defensive ball, Bobby-O aver
aged 81 minutes a game playing
time. If anything, his defensive
work foreshadowed his brilliant
offensive display.
O'Billovich's three mates in the
backfield - fullback Gary Smith
of Whitefish and halfbacks Pat
Dodson of Shelby and Terry Dill
Ion of Hopkins, Mimi, also are
in the running. Dodson was the
speed merchant, Dillon the bruis-
ing power runner, and Smith the
dependable SmaSher in Montana's
single-wing attack all season.. eft
would be mighty hard picking the
oest man among these three per-
formers" coach Ray Jenkins COM
mentS.
And in the line, the Grizzlies
nave a Mutt-Jeff combination
that should earn many All-Sky-
line votes. On one hama it's a
176-pound guard John Matte, a
senior from MisSoula who wa
one of the toughest hnemen,
pound-for-pound, in the league.
On the opposite end is 232-pound
tackle John Gregor, a senior
from Shelby, a line bulwark for
Montana for three straight sea-
sons.
Others who contributed to a
vastly improved MSU season were
ends Dale Berry and Howard
Schwend, tackle Carl Schwert-
feger, guards Jim Bartell and
Larry BeddeS, centerS Jim John
son and Gary Schwertfeger, and
halfbackS Ron Werba and Dick
Miller.

Texas Cowgirls
To Appear Here

On Thursday, December Is, 800
pm, the Texas Cowgirls will ap-
pear in the Sidney High School
gymnasium against a team COM
posed primarily of Sidney High
School faculty members. The adj
mission will be 81 for adults,
soc for students, and Csc for chill
dren. Season reserved tickets will
not be honored for this game.
The Cowgirls have compiled an
enviable record in ten years of
touring the country winning over
1919 of their games. They will pre-
sent a fast paced attack, and also
have several laugh-provoking
comedy routines.
Managed by Doug "Curly" Das-
niger, the Ancient Eagles are COM
posed of such performers as Dick
Beuhler, Bob Lane, Ron "Slim"
Ewing, John Grimstad, Jim Wood,
Lee Jennings, and Dave Johanna
son. A foreigner, Coach Don Har-
charik of Fairview, may also be
on hand to help the elderly ones
attempt to defeat the Cowgirls.

prices at their present levels. In
some cases, an increase may be
affected.
Although muSkrats outnumber
other species taken, beaver and
mink are still the mainstay for
supplying the major portion of
the trapper's income. Consequent
ly, the most intensive manage
ment is aimed at beaver and
mink.
In the case of beaver, Montana's
most important and controversial
fur animal, information from
aerial censuSing of caches (food
piles) and harvest data are i'm
portant in determining seasons.
Each fall, just before freeze-up
key streams are censuSed by air
plane. The number of caches
seen are recorded along with the
miles of stream flown. This in
formation gives an index num-
her showing stream miles per
cache. Each cache indicates an
active beaver colony.
Since the advent of non-limit-
ed beaver trapping seasons in
eastern Montana, miles per beav-
er cache have increased from IL
in 1854 to 2.3 in 1860. (No counts
were made i'm 1958-59 due tc
inclement flying weather.
Beaver harvest Figures dropped
from a high of over $4,000, III
1854 to Slightly over $1,000 taker

cation was easy and relaxed through
the universal language of rhythm and

After the impromptu program. we
moved out along the road toward the
homes and guest cottages guided by
the swaying kerosene lanterns. The
serene and confident optimism of the
people at Sevagram Ashram COLONY
was finding its way into our hearts.
We felt it even stronger the next
day when we joined them for morning
prayers. watched their spinning and
weaving, visited their school, and
shared their meals which were COM
posed entirely of food which they
raised and processed themselves.
The necessities of life are supplied
as simply. nutritiously, and sanitarily
as possible with the aim of freeing
minds for the search for truth. We
were impressed with the simple beau
ty of Gandhi's little house which is
kept as far as possible as he had it.
This ashram carries on according to
Gandhi's plan to furnish living and
example of a standard of
living which Gandhi chose as mini

more. Yet his life was rich in deeper
values because he had love and friend

Is "Better Business
Climate" Sales Tax Talk?

Editor, Peoples Voice,
There's nice giruesome item for you
in the better business climate promo
ton that's brewing in the state. I inter-
pref this to mean codd1ing the corpora
tions by cutting their taxes and sup
planting the "more democratic, broad
based sales tax'-in slippery lingo.
Just before Christmas, the NYTimes
had Sunday mag-type supplement
suggesting that Pennsylvania was the
best place to put your new biz. There
was an article in said brochure telling
everything the keystone state had done
to make it better for business. When
they'd snuck in the sales tax, they'd
even forbidden the counties to tax ma
chinery in manufacturing plants, after
having put in democratic, 40 sales
levy and widened the range. of services
and products it covered. st
Bob Corette's 'takeover of the Mon
tana Chamber, fits into this type of
"putsch".
Detected some of the same sneaky
language in gubernatorial candidate
Toole's announcement Does this make
him the business candidate? Is he COM
mitted to the Sales Tax?

torial for you.-E. c., Missoula.3

IDEALISM PUT INTO
PRACTICAL OPERATION

E. w. Aryanayakam and his wife
and six children were the first family
to live at Sevagram. They joined
Gandhi in 1886 just two years after
the ashram was started. Aryanaya-
kam, who studied in Scotland and at
Columbia University after five years
at Cambridge, worked with Tagore
and could have lived the life of the
privileged few, but he chose instead
to devote his life to the uplift of his
people. Today this tall sanity man
carries on the Gandhi ideal putting
beautiful and lofty idealism into
practical everyday living.
The residents of the ashram live to-
gether like one large family each
taking part in the self government
and all doing their share of every
type of work. The working motto is:

One of the first and at that time
daring principles established at Seva-
gram was the abolition of ali castles.
Each person is treated as an indi-
vidual. The educational system is
based ON respect for the personality
of the child. Gandhi believed in the
saying, Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness" so sanitation is one of the first
lessons the children are taught. Gand-
hi worked hard to spread the idea that
all people should be supplied with
sanitary drinking water.
In order that all people should have
sufficient food, decent clothing and
the dignity of labor, Gandhi urged
everyone to take up spinning and
gardening. He established what is
called the basic school system. The
children are taught spinning, weaving
and gardening. The core subjects
language, mathematics, social studies
and science-are related in a practi-
cal and meaningful way to the work
the children are doing. Even the
adults study at least one hour daily.
