Xmas Round World
Program Includes
Philippine Scene

There will be a Filipino partici-
patton in the annual Christmas
Around the World" program at
the Museum of History and In
dustry this year, according to
Consul General Benito NJ. Bau-
tista.
Mr.. Bautista received an invi-
tation from Mrs. Sutton Gustison,
Director of the Seattle Historical
Society early last month. At a
meeting subsequently attended by
the Consul General and the Forum
Editor, the participation of various
nationalities in the city was dis
cussed.
Consul General Bautista picked
December II for the Filipino par
ticipation.
Christmas Around the World"
is an annual affair of the MI
scum where a presentation of
Christmas traditions and practices
of various countries are depicted
in a very entertaining and educa-
tional manner.
This will be the. first time for
Filipino participation in this pro-
gram.
Consul General Bautista has re-
ferred the matter to heads of the
various Filipino organizations in
Seattle and they are enthusiastic
in the forthcoming participation.
Details of the Filipino Christ
mas program will be discussed at
an early meeting of Filipino lead
ers in the community, according
to the Consul General.

was prompted, to write this letter
because Ihave been hurt and hurt
very deeply by a certain party
who uses my actions as propa-
ganda to conceal his guilt and so,
therefore, this statement below
clarifies my side in that so de-
scribed.
At one time or another, perhaps
each and everyone of us may have
experienced certain discrepancies
and in haste transitions of the
incidents may be noted. If we let
our actions be governed by our
emotions, we may perhaps alter
the situation entirely. know this
to be true because 1 have expe-
rienced it already though 1 am
young.
l would like to differentiate be-
tween the act of leaving and that
of running away" One usually
thinks of running away as
when a person leaves his or her
home without the knowledge or
consent of his or her parents or
guardians. Would you consider it
running away when these con-
ditions exist?
First, when one does not leave
voluntarily but is demanded to do
so.
Second, when said person bids
adieu to each member of the
household.
Thirdly, when this said person
also departs through the front
door with the knowledge of GER
tain persons and this said de
mand."
Therefore, IT is evident that a
person does not run away when
she leaves as in the second in
stance.

The Mountain States Tele
lphone and Telegraph Company
directors, doubly blessed this
year in Montana, are probably
sitting back and, with a bullying
b a n k account, undoubtedly
contemplating even bigger and
better balances for the years
to come.
The company, which SO far this
year has been awarded $2,537,-
270 rate increase by the Montana
Public Service Commission and a
reduction in property taxes by the
State Board of Equalization, has
reported that through it's eight
state area it earned a net income
of 41,899, 1858 in 1859.
The net income last year marked
a whopping $7.88 million increase
from it's 1858 net income total of
$34,019, $40.
By the time the company talks
other states into granting a rate in
crease and tax deductions in imitation
of Montana, the Mountain States
company will have one of the hottest
utility stocks in the country.
The stock isn't doing too badly
now. The company reports earnings
per share in 1859 climbed to 1926,
a jump of $1.41 from its 1855 profits
per-share figure.
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph stock is presently listed
at $176 per share. 1t is available to
investors through the Lewistown
banks or the Denver stock exchange,
and is listed on the American Stock
Exchange.
In it's statement of retained earn
ings the company reported year
end balance of $52,582,754, an in
crease of more than $14 million
from its retained earnings balance
of $3S, 536,723.

collectors. grab their shares.
The rate increase was the first
granted the company in Montana
since Sept. 1, 1853.
The company had requested the
rate increase pas to get ''fair re-
turn on the facilities devoted to tele-
phone service in Montana"
