BY GENEVIEVE AGEE

BUCKINGHAM, Feb. 23-Char-
lie Spencer. Buckingham county
game warden. in going through
some old papers at his home
place Hunting Towers found
monthly school report dated 1892.
After glancing over the paper.
he decided it might contain some
interesting bits of school history.
SO decided to turn it over to
Irving S. Driscoll. superintendent
of Buckingham county schools.
The record was in a delapi-
dated condition, faded, torn, nib
bled at. and brown with age. but
legible. Spencer, who said he was
going to look for some more old
papers, does not recall how it
could have gotten there. except
that his grandfather, the late
Rev. John j. Spencer, was a
member of the school board dur
ing the period about 1898.
The record shows a monthly
report of j. Charles l.. Coleman,
colored teacher of the Public
School Number one in the Slate
River District of Buckingham
county for the school month num-
Der four. ending the fourth day
of March. 1892.
j. B. BoatWright, ST.. said that
there was an old colored preach
er in that district in 1921 who
taught school. This is all that is
known of him. The ages of the
pupils and names are on the rec
ord. Some of the names are
Woodson. Toney. Woodbridge.
Kidd, Robinson. Sharp. Smith,
Jones. Miller, Brown and Morris.
DriscOll said. These old school
records are really valuable as
there are hardly any records be-
tore 1921, as school records were
not available before 1921, when
a centralized county school board
office was established here"
Prior to that time members of
the school board kept records in
their districts. According to Mrs.
Laura Hayes, clerk of the school
board. records are fairly COM
plete since 1923, and that records
today are similar but are much
more up-tO-date.
In checking back in school rec
ords. Mrs. Hayes found fourteen
old term reports" dated 1887 of
the white public schools of Buck
ingham county. All are from the
Curdsville district. Someone in

NEW YORK. Chip BOhlen,
the ex-Ambassador to Moscow,
advocated programs to bring
more Russians and Americans
together. THE Russians are
parched for contact with the
West" he said. Parched. that
is for the truth about us. But
now the State Department is
setting up barriers, not unlike
the walls in East Berlin, for
visiting Soviet artists.
The Leningrad Kirov Ballet
has been denied permission to
perform in Detroit, because the
theater is in an area ruled

specific provision that any agency
impounding water should consult with
the Public Health Service for recon-
mendations on guarantees that should
be put in to maintain stream flow
when flow is low. This would be
taken into consideration in original
planning, DIR. Anderson said.
Asked what the situation is in
regard to existing water impound-
ments and those already planned,
the Advisory Board did not know,
but assured the group that would
be one question that would be
taken back to Washington.
The answer seems to rest in a re-

FEDERAL FUNDS HELPED
CLEAN UP BOULDER RIVER

State Senator Arnold Reider sup
ported the federal help Montana has
received and cited the case of the
Boulder River where raw sewage
was sent to the land of adjacent farm
ers and ranchers until federal funds
made it possible for the state insti-
tuition involved to correct it. 81 will
continue to support the national Con-
gress in helping us with the pollution
problem, he said.
E. F. CARRIE, Culbertson, stressed
the need for minimum flow law in
Montana, which would require any
water storage facility built on any
of our streams to allow normal flow
below the dam and the Board of
Health be given authority to demand
release of the water if the health
and welfare of any community is at
stake. Culbertson this summer had
TO go to their United States Senators

ACTION" NEEDED

ACTION NEEDED
Flathead Lake was presented as a
pollution problem by several spokes-
men including State Senator Leland
Schoonover of Lake county, speaking
as president of the Pacific Northwest
Conservation Council. who referred
to the glowing reports by the Gov
ernor and said while recognizing the
progressive steps already taken,
"from where we sit we do not think
things are going fast enough, and
more aggressive action on the ma
tional level must be instituted.
Schoonover said pollution control
lags behind other forms of develop
ment and the lack of good state legis-
lation is Alarming.
Asking for stronger enforcement
power for the laws we have, the
Senator said, eve do not neces-
sarily recommend crash program
but a program that will give us
real answers on how to keep water
clean SO all people can enjoy its
use"
He said domestic pollution is not
our only problem and that our in
dustrial waste problems are in the
future. Pollution is one of the grav-
est problems we face, according to
Schoonover, and we will get just
about what we spend to correct it.
Other speakers specifically inter
ested in methods to prevent further
pollution of the recreational and
tourist attraction in western Mon
lana were Harold w. Bloomer of the
Flathead Lakers, and Michael J. Behr-
