When the voting records come out

to the rock N roll, legislators con.
tinued to swoon at the music of the
C of G orchestra when they were
faced with the vital issues pertain
ing to people in this session.
Democrats certainly severed the
umbilical cord as far as the liberal
groups are concerned, if in truth
there is any other party besides the
Republican party in Montana today.
Not only did the corporate-con-

their timid opposition they struck
such terror in the hearts of many
Democrats as to- be able to turn them
against the very people from whom
Democrats have to get their votes.
With no strong platform to stand
on, and disregard of what they did
have, the Democratic party was split
a hundred different ways in the leg
islature. To call a caucus on many
important issues was more dangerous
than to allow chaos to exist. In the
Senate, political and personal jeal-
ousies among Democrats took prece-
dence over the well-being of the
party or the people.
Like the fellow said: A Democrat
will fight Republican if there is
no other Democrat close enough to
stab him in the back.
The Democratic party as of this
moment is hole with the rim
knocked off.
While some very bad legislation
was stopped in the Senate other dam
aging things got by. In the House
the Democrats were lucky to total
14-17 votes on the most vital meas
ures, out of the 40 who sat on their
side of the aisle. In the clinches they
could sometimes get 27.

whether it is good bill or not on

The legislative process allows for
unanimous consent after headlines

legislation has no place regardless of
the merit or lack of it.
The legislative process calls for
certain procedures to allow time for
interested parties to know bill has
been introduced; the legislative pro-

mittees and proper hearings for those
affected by bill; the legislative pro-
cess calls for printed bills to lay "A

are for purpose. They are part of
the democratic process of legislating.

If you do quite . bit Of
sewing. you probably have
lots Of printed cotton scraps
tucked away. hoping to find
something to do with them.
You couldn't put them to bet

ton prints.
To determine length: These
instructions are for . 27-
inch skirt length. If you wish
q longer skirt, add to the
length Of each rectangle one
third Of the difference be-
tween the desired length and
~ inches. To make . shorter
skirt, subtract from the
length of each rectangle one
third Of the difference be-
tween the desired length and
~ inches.
To cut: Cut from each IA
brio. 1 rectangles 10 inches
long and IL inches wide and
2 rectangles 13 inches long
and IL inches wide. Cut only
one waistband from one print
to your waist measurement
plus 4 inches.
To make patchwork:
/. Top tier: seam together
patches on 10-inch sides,
using one Of each print. Then
repeat in the same order hav-
ing 10 patches in one tier.
Press seams open.
2. Middle tier: repeat the
entire top tier starting with

3 Bottom tier: seam to-
gether patches on 13-inch

Tanning Leather

Mrs. J. A. F.. Falls Church
Can any Of the "old timers"
reading this column tell me
how to tan animal hides? I
am interested in deer hides
with the hair left on. and the
skin soft. In the case of q
COW hide. exactly how do you
tan leather? I also want to
know how and what to use
to remove the hair, and how
do you soften the leather
once you have tanned it?
This request may seem odd
to some Of you readers. but
recently we ran into both Of
the above items. One farmer
buried his COW hide because
it wasn't worth driving 40
miles to sell when the most
he could get was $3.50 for
the hide. Two deer skins
were offered to us, but we
didn't know how to cure
them, so we turned down the
offer.
I can't help but think Of
the cost Of shoes every time
I think Of that farmer bury
ing the COW hide. I don't
really hope to use the leather,
but I would like to preserve
the old receipt for tanning
leather.

Patch Island reverted back to the

Aware of the historical signfi-
canoe of the old fort and alarmed
at the prospect of its being aband-

erations. a group of public spirited
citizens organized the Fort Della
ware Society This group, with the
cooperation of the State Park Com
mission, initiated cleaning up of
the area surrounding the Fort; es-
tablishment of boat service be-
tween the mainland and the island,
and the publicizing of Fort Della
ware as a tourist attraction.
While a small museum is being
established on the premises and
some rooms are being restored. the
fort will not be fully restored In

the island. Crowded conditions,
producing filth and vermin, caused
outbreaks of contagion and result
ed in the deaths of hundreds of
prisoners and their burial on the
opposite New Jersey shore, far
from home. After Appomattox, de-
cision was made to transfer or re-
lease the prisoners who had sur
yived Imprisonment on Pea Patch
Island.
Tranquility came TO the island
and its pentagon-shaped fortifica-
ton in 1865. with the departure of
the last prisoner. and little activ-
ity was apparent until 1898 when
the fort was re-armed and refur-
bished for possible Spanish-Amer-
ican War service Aside from the
firing of an occasional salute from
the forts then new 16-inch disap-
pearing guns, the peace and quiet
was unbroken during the War
with Spain.
During I9l7-1S Fort Delaware
was restored to active duty" and
fully manned, only to be virtually
abandoned between World Wars.
The old fort saw its military ac-
tivity in 1941, when small con-
tingent of troops were stationed
there. Two years later, the big
disappearing guns were removed
from the fort for salvage as scrap
iron, and in 1914 the fort was clos
ed down. After being declared sur
plus to military need in 1945, Pea
