c. w. Vaughn, acting state All
Club leader at Montana State Col
,ege, tells us that club member
hip over the state increased to
1890 this last year or a gain of
almost 3 percent.
Club leaders are also pleased
that Montana led the western
states last year in re-enrOllment
If members when 81 percent re-
2nrOlled. Analysis of enrolment
also shows that So percent of the
members live on farms and ~ per
cent live in small towns or cities.
Especially gratifying is the high
percentage of members completing
heir projects. 1t was a little over
36 percent last year = the highest
since 1916 when membership total
ed only $500.
Volunteer leaders r the back
bone of All and they put in many
hours helping the boys and girls
in their clubs. In fact, Vaughn fig
Tres that last year the average
leader spent 134 hours working
with club members. Expressed an
other way, this would mean that
Montana's 2, 658 leaders spent a
total of As. ITO days or over II
hundred 40 hour weeks in guild
ing their clubs.
In Richland County there are
IA adult leaders working with
about 800 All Club members. This
number brings about a slightly
higher ratio of leaders to All Club
members than the state average.
The county is indeed fortunate
to have this number of volunteer
leaders to work with the All Club
members and their projects.

Dear Sir:
Perhaps there are other readers

myself have come to regard the
Letters to the Editor column as
one of the most interesting col

/ would refer you to two ar
ticles in your paper under the
title GOOD Facts" which appeared

Mrs. Redgren seeks to correct any
false ideas and myths which may
be given out by Food Faddists,
and by fringe promoters of vita
min and mineral products" AL
though I'm sure such warnings
are Justified it is indeed regret

Some months ago the Fries,
Beall & Sharp Co., hardware
wholesale firm in Springfield,
Va. received request for half
a dozen snow ShovelS.
Their destination: Moscow.
The American Embassy there
was having trouble getting the
lightweight aluminium product
we take for granted in this
country. Russians clean side
walks with broomS0 The order
was filled at $2.97 apiece to
Uncle Sam.
Snow shovels may be out of
season now. but they'll be back
in a couple of months at the
warehouse.
The $50 retail stores which
buy from F. B. S. order long
in advance, and this creates
a topsy -turvy world for stock
clerks.
Right now about $4,000
worth Of shotgun shells and
other ammunition for fall hunt
ing is on the shelves. Summer
lawnmowers were shipped last
January. While the SnowStorms
were bowling outside, workmen
also wreStled garden hose and
hedge trimmerS onto trucks.
One of the oldest in this
area, Fries. Beall & Sharp be-
gan as a retail hardware store
in Washington on Tenth street
NV. in 1906. Almost by acci-
dent the wholesale end of the
business was added about 35
years ago. specializing in coal
stoves and furnaces.
AS oil and gas heat displaced
these, the wholesale side shifted
into building materials and
burgeoned so rapidly that it
built three warehouses, one in
Georgetown and two in the
lexington area of northeast
Washington.
The company subsequently
grew to be the largest customer
here for the B g. o railroad,
shipping some 1900 carloads
of building supplies a year.
After World War II it began
to be apparent that a larger
and more efficient single build
ing was needed. The manage
ment figured it would cost more
than 81 million to buy the land
it needed within the District,
and decided on Virginia in
stead. where it acquired five
acres.

At the highest levels of poll
tics. the great breakthrough in
prejudice against the Catholic
in America was the election of
John F. Kennedy as President
of the United States. At the
highest levels of industry and
finance, the breakthrough in
prejudice against the Jew in
America is now gathering mo-
mentum.
No one even pretendS that
prejudice doesn't exist on a
great and shameful scale in the
executive suites of industry and
finance-those practicing the
discrimination know what they
are doing, and those feeling
the discrimination know what
is being done.
AS Karl R. Bopp, president Of
the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia, put it in a re-
markably frank statement last
week, Prejudice and outmoded
attitudes with regard to men,
bers of the Jewish faith still
exist. This remains a disturb
ing problem" No one even at
tempts to deny that much of
the progress being made is due
to the need for the skilled
brainpower of the Jewish ex-
ecutive rather than to a sincere
tolerance of all races, religions
and ethnic origins in American
industry and finance.
Nevertheless, the walls of
prejudice are perceptibly
crumbling. Again to quote Mr..
Bopp on religious discrimina-
ton in banks. What is en-
couraging is that bankers are
aware of it and are addressing
themselves to it." Although this
is an offbeat business story for
me, events now occurring war
rant this unusual report.
Door No Longer Shut
Item: At its 54th annual con-
VentiOn in New York last
Thursday, the American Jewish
Committee released the results
of a two-year survey of en-
ployment practices in banks
which emphasized that "the
door is no longer firmly shut"
to Jews on executive levels in
banking, and concluded that
there is a gradual and con-
tinuing easing of barriers in
this field.
The report noted that during
the time it was conducting its
pilot study Of banks in Phila-
delpiha, "One Of the largest
banks named its first Jewish
member to the board and two
others have hired their first
Jewish executive trainees." In
his statement accompanying
the survey, Mr.. Bopp declared.
"On the whole, the results of
this careful and objective re-
search are encouraging" and
stressed his belief that the
study itself will help to create
a climate that will bring about"
further progress.

underway right now at four

officers have worked their way

The warehouse is turning to
expensive computers nowadays

ground useful in figuring in

The company also is ne
gotiating with a local research
concern to have it's complex
stockpiling problems put
