A CONFUSED RESOURCE
PROBLEM"
Panel moderator Weydemeyer, a
charter member of MCC, in opening
the morning discussion said that Mon
tana has ga very complicated and at
times confused resource problem"
Thirty-seven per cent of the state is
federally-owned. State owned lands
amount to six per cent more of the
area. Both federal and state tracts in
many instances are interspersed with
private holdings, thus adding to adj
ministrative problems.
The diversity of resources along
with the multiplicity of agencies
charged with their stewardship, and

These, and many other questions
were at the fore all during the one
day annual meeting of Montana Con-
servation Council in Helena last Sat
urday when the subject under consid-
Grafton was "the place of state gov
eminent in natural resource manage
ment".
The morning agenda was devoted
to a seven-man panel discussion mod
Grated by Winton Weydemeyer, For
tine. on "Montana's natural resource
agencies needs to be consid-
cred in reorganization. The seven
resource divisions and the men who
presented information on each, were !:

Conservation Council Told /.

To meet the needs of a rapid
ly mounting population ''your
need for co-ordinated manage
ment of your great natural re-
sources is at hand" so spoke
Bert Cole, Washington state
commissioner of state lands at
the annual banquet of Montana
Conservation Council Saturday
night in Helena.
Cole, introduced by Prof. Arnold
Bolle of MSU's School of Forestry,
is now serving his second term as
land commissioner of Washington
Prior to becoming a full-time public
official, he was a school teacher, saw
service in World War III, put in some
years in banking, and later was a
"gyppo" logging operator on the
Olympic Peninsula, along with having
been active in Washington state
school activities for many years.
The commissioner, walking dele
gate" for consolidation of state agen-
cies dealing with natural resources,
spearheaded the final successful
drive in his state to bring about con-
solidation of 10 agencies dealing with
publicly-owned resources, under one
department. The fight for consolida-
ton, he said, was long and hard and
dated back over a 20-year period be-
fore success was finally achieved in
the 1857 Washington Legislature.
Ruefully he told his audience, when
the consolidation enabling act was
finally passed it was necessary to
omit the Fish & Game Department
from the combined resource agency
because of the political pressure of
sportsmen's groups and agency per-
sonnet. He said the Fish and Game
groups have "most avid selfish in
terest" in maintaining a separate
identity.
THE "IDEAL" TYPE OF AGENCY
Cole said the 'sideal type of re-
source agency is one in which all
divisions twill be under one organi-
zation". These major divisions he

Quality Sustains
Prices at Malta
BY CASEY ANDERSON


A LARGE CROWD THAT could be
termed cautious attended the 18th an
nual Northeastern Montana Hereford
! Breeders Association sale at Malta,
{ Oct. Q. The sale started on the slow
side but, with evidence of good quality
well down the line in the offering. the
average held up well and the sale went
into the record books as successful.
The judge of the show, John McDon-
aid. Cascade, commented favorably on
the number of really good range bulls
consigned to this event. This was
evidenced also by the fact that, while
the champion bull brought only $1,000
as compared to $2,1OO last year. III
bulls sold in this sale for over 5000
each.
Had it not been for the effect the
Hi-line range conditions this year had
on the buying crowd and the compara-
lively moderate top sale price, it was
felt the sale average could have reached
or exceeded the 18-year average of
$500.
In picking the champion bull, Judge
Mcdonald gave the final nod to Boxer

"a, with Domino Heir breeding on the
dam side of the pedigree. This very
thick, deep bodied. good headed bull

do. Earl Hibberley, Loring, liked the
looks of this bull, Mr.. Piegan Zato A,
sired by BB Golden Zato 6O29, and
placed the final bid of $3.50 to own
him. Monture Herefords also consigned
the third place bull of the show, Mr..

It's Berry
 Picking Time!

From sKetchikan to Point Bar row, Alaska produces a great abundance of wild berries. Some of the more common gifts of the ncrthland are entrants. blueber- ries, lingenberries, h g Ii b u S h cranberries, and salmonberries.
 Alaska's wild berries, besides being great eating, are high in vitamins and minerals, according to Jean Burand, state home de- monstration agent with the Co- operative Extension Service, Uni- versity of Alaska.
 She says all Alaska's berries are high in ascorbic acid, more commonly called Vitamin c. And how well you treat your berries will affect how much vitamin C is retained in your berry products. the faster berries are processed, the more Vitamin c they will carry.
 To get most Vitamin C for your efforts, follow these suggestions by Miss Burand:
 l. Use fresh berries shortly after picking. Cool and cover as soon as possible after picking. Berries will retain ascorbic acid three or four days.
 z. AGd little water and bring quickly to boil; fill containers to overflowing and store in a cold, dark place or refrigerator; use within two or three days.
 3. Can Or freeze your blueber- ries as soon as possible after picking, handling as little as pos sible.
 1. Berries exposed to the sun for several hours just before picking have more asorbic acid
 5. Frozen blueberries retain more vitamins than canned or dried berries.
 6. Happy picking!

Anchorage Laundromat Uses First Natural Gas

ANCHORAGE lR A local laundromat has become the first firm to use natural gas here, Dale Feel, executive vice president of the Anchorage Natural Gas Corp, announced yesterday.
 Finer Hansen, owner of the Mt. View Laundromat, will use the gas for water heating and clothes drying.
 Feel estimated about 2,000 natural gas service lines are now installed in this area and the com pany is rushing construction of more than 1000 additional serv- ices prior to the time freezing weather prevents further con- struction this year.
 The Mountain View area was first to receive natural gas be- cause testing had been completed earlier this month, following con- struction of the gas distribution system here.
 Gas is piped here from the Ke- mai Peninsula gas and oil fields, about 40 miles south.
 Formal dedication of the new facility is scheduled Sept. 29, Feel said.

NEWBURGH, N. Y. M = Su- preme Justice John Donohoe to- day granted the state temporary injunction against Newburgh's controversial tightening. program on relief recipients.
 Newburgh, with an increasingly heavy relief load, had sought to require able-bodied relief reci- pients to work, end relief pay ments to women bearing more H. legitimate children, and set up other restrictions.
 City Manager Joseph Mitchell, spearhead of the frightened welfare program, said the city would ap- peal.
 An order, specifically directing the city officials to end the new welfare plan. is expected to be is sued by Donohoe in a few days.

Heart Ailment Causes Fisherman's s Body to Swell 100 Pounds

SAN FRANC;fEcO tR = Robert Guijette, 51, commercial fisher man whose swollen body kept him trapped inside the tiny cabin of his boat for four days before he was sawed free, died last night.
 A doctor said the cause of death had not yet been deter mined. Guijette suffered from a heart ailment.
 He was rescued by Coast Guards1nen Wednesday and flown here by helicopter. His son. Roy, 19, had docked at Point Reyes when Guijette became too large to squeeze through the cabin door. The heart trouble had caused Guijette's body to swell from it's normal weight of 250 to $50 pounds.
