HAVRE RAIL WORKERS SEE
500 HOME HEATING HIKE

In 1dVTe, Cne f11-Llne halfway En-
ployees Association, originally formed
to oppose the GIMP merger, has
gone on record as strongly opposed
to the proposed rate hike. HREA
President E. F. English says that his
groups investigation shows that the
rate increase, if granted, will hike
the average family's monthly gas bill
from $15.25 to $22.49-or an in
crease of almost fifty per cent.
In prepared statement, HREA
said "this is a substantial added
drain on our income all by itself.
But on top of this, the gas bill we
pay for our schools, city, state and
federal buildings will increase over
double the present"
The Havre group also objected to
the escalator clauses Montana Power
is asking, whereby the utility can
automatically increase rates once
each year from January L, 1868
through January 1, 1878. This per-
mission granted would take from the
PSC any control over how much
MPCo. might decide to increase rates
in any one or series of years.
Also in Havre, the conservative
HAVRE DAILY NEWS, questioned
the request for higher rates
was in the best interests of better
business climate. Said the NEWS:
g as a customer of Montana
Power we feel at this time that the
projected request :.
bears reconsideration because of the
burden it might place on the econ
omy of most Montanans. We urge
the Montana Power Company to take
another look at it's plans and it's
escalator clause and review it's appli-
cation :"
MORE CITY COUNCILS PROTEST
Since last issue, when it was re-
ported that the city councils of Butte
md Anaconda had both gone on rec
,rd in opposition to the increase APP
,lication, similar action has been
AIKEN by the councils of Deer Lodge |
md Great Falls.
Concerning Deer Lodge, THE SILL
YER STATE POST reports when
dPCo. recently presented a proposed
,as franchise for approval at the
ity election cit was explained that
he franchise called for a 5O-year
ERIN instead of the 3O-year term
which they had before because the
ates would be cheaper :" The
ollow-up rate increase request in
he eyes of the council, apparently
epresents a breach of faith by the
tility.
Great Falls city council approved
committee report opposing the
igher rates, but qualified their OPP
osition funtil satisfied that the. Mon
ana Power Co. is warranted in ask
lg such a large increase -
In Helena, expected, the city
council has taken no action, al ]
though City Manager w. J. Leary
has informed the council that on {
the basis of past expenditures for
gas, the city's bill would go up
by third under the proposed t
rates. In 1860 the City of Helena t
had gas bill of $6,S74. The rate
nike, said Leary, would put the
.ity's bill at an estimated $4,000
l year.

ed lines. Ordinarily, he says,
seating pieces utilize foam
rubber for cushioning to
achieve trimneSs and the
slighter ProPortioned look.
Contemporary seating pieces,
in his opinion, go in for the
more billowy look, more gen.
erouS proportions, using eth
er foam and dacron, dacron
and springs, or down and
springs.
Decorators agree, too, that
fabrics can designate the de-
sign as more modern or con-
temporary. For instance, an
informal fabric of loose, tex
tured weave creates a more
casual, modern mood while
more formal fabric gives
the contemporary feeling.
Decorators point to Pail
McCobb as a well-known ex-
ponent of modern design;
they refer to Edward Worm
ley, Larry Peabody, and John
Van Koert as designers who
blend the feeling of yester-
day with that of today and
tomorrow.
Young marrieds with small
homes or apartments lean to
modern because of its trim
mer proportions and because
of its ease of care. The more
extreme in modern design
wins the favor of those whose
blood is more daring.

Among the day-to- day doubt

FreidePs new contemporary his
tory of the nation comes as a
welcome antidote to 81 o m.
Reading it is little like taking
a deep breath of fresh air. For
though Harvard's Professor of
History doesn't dissipate all the
doubts-there's still U-2 pilot
Powers-he does allow us to be
encouraged by the twentieth
century reality Of America.
And the overriding reality has
been the assumption by the
United States of world leader
ship, moral and physical. AS
Professor Freidel shows us, it's
been a slow, uneven, often pain
full process. Sometimes we have
seemed to take. two steps--back
for every one forward. Ameri-
can troops tipped the scales for
democracy in World War I. And
then the people turned their
backs on, the League of Nations.

he also told the Original Eleven,
land practically full time for
the past three years. And en-
tirely without pride, but in sim
pie thankfulness, let me point
out that a lifetime of business
experience should have made it
easier for me to see the falsity

might some scholar coming into
that study from the academic
cloisters; while a lifetime of in
terest in things academic, espe-
cially world history, should
have given me an advantage
over many businessmen in more

dialectic materialism."
His world history is Neo-
Spenglerian, although, he con-
cedes, "there is certainly more
WEIGH than there is Spengler"
in it, and he has contributed not
a few new details. It was Darius
and not Cyrus who, according to
Mr.. WEIGH, overthrow the 'Neo-
Babylonian civilization; Greek
colonists conquered Italy, found
ed Rome, and developed Ro-
man civilization; and the Ro-
man Empire of the West started
dying from the cancer of col
lectivism from the time Diocle-
tan imposed on it his New
Deal" The notion of conven-
tional historians like Rostovtzeff
and Burkhardt has been that the
Roman economy hit the skids
century and a half earlier, and
that Diocletian, poor man, was
merely trying to pick up the
pieces. One of his measures was
system Of price controls, and
this probably has caused Mr..
WEIGH to confuse him with
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The the

In 1922, when I was eighteen
and it was new, read James
Elroy Flecker's play about Has
san. the confectioner of Bagh-
dad, and it became one of my
clandestine addictions, like my
taste for Atkinson's Doncaster
Toffee. It has a sucrose, glu-
cose, dextrose quality, lik 9
warm spun sugar twining itself
around the aorta. Hassan, it's
protagonist, through a chance
encounter with the Caliph Har-
oun al : Raschild, is removed
from the humble but cozy pur-
lieus Of his shop to the world
Of affairs of state. At first the
transposition pleases him. "For
all these years I have been a
humble man, Of soft and kindly
disposition-Such a man as the
world and a woman hate" says
he. "But now I shall never again
be the fool Of my fellows" Aft
erward, though, failing to soften
the Caliph's line on capital pun
ishment. he is glad to retire, and
withdraws from public life as a
pilgrim, marching offstage sing
ing, in chorus with the rest Of
the caravan, eve take the Cold
en- Road to Samarkand."
For Hassan's sake, / was pre-
disposed in favor of Robert H.
w. WEIGH, Jr., founder of the
John Birch Society and author
Of it's Koran, "The Blue Book"
Copyright Robert Welch, 1857.
Mr.. WEIGH had an early life
much like that of my older
friend. He was, before he be-
came an author, a candymaker
in Cambridge, Mass. The only
other American public man 1
can think of with an equally
mellifluent background is Adolf
A. Berle, Jr., who was chairman
of the board of the American
Molasses Company. But where
as Hassan, squatting among his
sugar kettles, used to write
poetry, Mr.. WEIGH, by his own
account, read world history.
And while the p epp n m n t
popped and the popsicl g S
purred, he became so impressed
by the analogies he discovered
in his reading that, like Moham-
med, he heard Voice saying to
him, "Recite." Accordingly, he
summoned number of disciples
to meet him at a hotel In Indian
apolis, where there are always
rooms Except during auto-race
week., on December s, 1858.
"The Blue Book" is, it's author
explains, a record Of what he
said at the ensuing meeting, as
fraught with consequences as a
chocolate bar with peanuts. Only
eleven disciples attended, leav-
ing him one short Of the con-
ventional complement, but they
represented eight states. It Is
inspiring to think Of that semi
nal meeting, in a hotel banquet

and ended after round of par

ing Day when Harry Mansell and
Tom Wormald, Eds cousins

they were waiting in the lobby
for us.
We had a quick breakfast and
climbed into Toms Austin and
headed toward Mapping Spring.
1t was damp and the precipita-

Harry said that it was a bitter

streets and onto the narrow
country lanes. Lindley Moor was
clothed in fog cape and many
cars and horses were around

Being a literal perso had been
thinking that we were actually
going to real spring.
Mapping Spring was one of the
colorful public houses we visited
during our trip. 1t was bright
and CHEEKY. A small nook with
a cozy fire cracking beckoned
us out of the cold winter air.
Several men in loud green hunt
ing outfits were milling about
waiting for the call. Men with
