In an appearance before the
County Council, WSSC vice.
chairman Willard Morris direct
ed his remarks particularly
against charges made last week
by the Montgomery County Cit
liens Planning Association that
the sewer program is "prema-
ture" in light of current plan
ming for future development in
the county.
He described the citizens
groups recommendations as "a
scarecrow raised by a small
group of citizens who are ap.
parently moved to disturb the
public and the Council about a
non-existent, Boogey Man type
threat"
To the contrary, Morris said,
projects in the WSSC's pro-
posed program-many of which
were in the approved 1960-64
program" have not been con-
jured up to present a threat to
coming plans or future develop
ment patterns"
The WSSC is prepared to pro.
vide water and sewer facilities
when needed, whether for the
satellite communities envisioned
by some planners or for CORR
dor-type development seen by
others, he said.
1T is our desire to be in a
position to provide facilities
when they are needed, where
they are needed, and as econom-
ically as possible"
Planners argee, he said, that
sewers will be needed in the
county. The WSSC contends
that additional sewers are need
ed. now in many among
them several recommended for
deletion by the citizens group
last week..
The Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion concurred in most of the
groups recommendations.
Morris said the Commission
has no intention of extending
major facilities until there is a

salary schedule calling for a
$4,000 annual salary for 10
months of school, without
merit incentive.
Twelve steps were suggested
and the maximum was COM
puted to allow a beginning
teacher with a bachelors degree
to double his salary after II
years of satisfactory service.
Suggested $4,000 top salary
for a teacher with a doctorate'
and the beginning salary were
lower than salaries being paid
in a fairly small number of
Jurisdictions"
Since then, he said, "many
more school jurisdictions have
reached or have exceeded the
P-TA proposed salary span, put
ting our school system at an in
creasing disadvantage in its
recruiting efforts"
At least eight times since
1858, Els declared, council
members have affirmed the
position taken that year.
my preliminary reading of
the report of the Curriculum
Study Committee leads me to
the conclusion that this report
confirms the judgment of the
P-TAs. 1t states time after
time our need for better trained
and superior instructors.
"In addition, the report
more than implies that the
Montgomery County school sys-
TEN must adjust its salary
schedule drastically upwards if
we are to secure the aforemen-
toned level of teaching COM
petence."

are at work and where laws
have been passed to insure
equal treatment. They quoted
a recent article in the Harvard
Law Review as expressing their
views:
MANY feel that the ultimate
solution to the problems of
racial and religious discrimina-
ton lies with education and not
with legal compulsion. Expert
ence indicates, however, that
without the force of law to
nourish it along, the right to
equal treatment will develop
slowly, if at ALL
In their contacts with propri-
etors of local public accommo-
dations, Commission members
said they learned that the pri-
mary reason for discriminatory
practices is 'the fear of loss of
business"
"The most frequent statement
heard when talking to those
owners or managers was, If
you want me to serve everyone,
pass law so that everyone will
have to do Ii at the same
time" their report said.
Although the Commissions
year-long study concerned itself
with all phases of discrimina.
tion-in housing, employment,
education, as well as public ac-
commodations-it was to its
findings and its recommends
tons regarding the last that
most of its report was directed.
Enlarge Commission
Another major recommends
ton was that the Commission
be enlarged to nine members,
each to be appointed by the
County Council for a three.year
term, with one-third of the
members retiring each year.
The Council was also asked
to consider appointing persons
other than those nominated by
organizations in the area, on
the basis of individual qualifica-
tons. The Commission sug.
gested that three of the mem.
bers be selected from the pub
lie at large" and the other six
from organizations.
Support for anti-bias law has
been building in the county for
over a year, with backing COM
ing from local Democratic
groups, the NAACP and inter-
ested civic, church and citizens
gorups.
Most outspoken opponents of
legal compulsion have been the

quick action on decisions reach
ed by council members over the
past three years and by the re-
Gently published report of the
Curriculum Study Committee.
Els said in a letter, 1.-THE
quality of our educational offer
ing is greatly endangered by
the delay in reaching an attrac-
tive and competitive salary
schedule.
Each superior teacher who
IS wooed from our system and
each equally superior teacher
who is not attracted into it rep
resent an irreparable loss in the
lives of our children
After tracing the delibera-
tons of the P-TA Council and
remarking upon the recommen-
dations of the study committee,
Els asked. "Why then do
we find the Board of Education
taking so much time to decide
upon and to implement a scale
of payment targeted for 1862?
Il am forced to the conclu.
sion that this Board of Educa-
ton is attempting to accom-
MEDIATE some amorphous group
whose concept of excellence in
education is heavily weighted
by considerations for the econ
omy' which could be tragically
expensive"
Els feels, he said, that in
Montgomery County a teacher
for every classroom is not
enough. "Our superior system
requires superior teachers and
our present scale is not even
competitive with other area sys.

Also discussed was the posi-,
bility of the installation of a
clipper mill which would utilize
pulp wood logs. If it is possible
to secure this type of mill, il
would be the only such mill 10,
Gated on or near the Great Nor.
thern Railway in Montana. There.
fore, il would be possible to ship
pulp wood logs from other areas
along the railroad to be proc
essed here and then shipped on
to paper mills east or west on
the Great Northern.
The possibility of a post mill
installation and a Christmas tree
planting and development prof.
ect was also considered at this
meeting. Such projects have
proven successful elsewhere, the
latter enterprise, if started, could
provide an annual income to the
tribe and guarantee many man
hours of labor for members of
the tribe for many years to come.

HugertYHotel Room
Clerk Being Sought
On Robbery Charge

Robert Wiekle, about 40, room
clerk at the Hagerty Hotel, earlyt
Saturday morning repaid the
sympathy shown by his employer,
Ed "Swede" ALBERT, by stealing
about $500 in silver in an office
break-in, then driving away in
Aubert's pickup.
The pickup was found in a
no-parking area in Cut Bank at
about $40 am, but no trace of
Wiekle has been found since.
Police believe he may be con-
nected with car theft occurring
in Shelby within the following "a
hours, and they believe he was
headed towards Great Falls.
Mrs. Ed ALBERT said the break,
in theft must have occurred at
around $3.50 or 4 am. Saturday
morning.
She said Wiekle appeared the
last week in August, broke and
hungry and ALBERT fed him, gave
him a job and a room at the
ALBERT apartments.
Originally from Indiana, Vie
kle has worked in Fairfield and
Helena, and possibly in other
Montana towns.

Central Committee
Recommends Stone
For Commissioner

The Glacier County Republican
Central Committee at a meeting
at the Monteath hotel in East
Glacier Park Tuesday night chose
to present the name of Fred
Stone, Browning rancher and an
ex-deputy sheriff, to Ninth Judi
cial District Judge William Black
for consideration towards the ap-
pointment of a successor to Har-
old Hanneman, whose resignation
was officially accepted Friday,
January -.
In a best attended meeting in
many years" the central commit
tee chose Stone over Theophile
phil" La Breche ii in the bal
loting that cast a total of 81
votes.
While several persons had been
mentioned as possible successors
to Hanneman prior to the meet
ing, only the nominations of
Stone and La Breche were pre-
sented.
The Republicans stand a good
chance of having Stone appoint
ed as the new commissioner,
since it is customary to appoint
someone from the same political
faith as the one resigning, and
Hanneman was the lone Repub-
lican on the three-man Board of
County Commissioners.
In this connection, however, it
is understood the Glacier county
Democrats will submit the name
of Richard Taught for Judge
Blacks consideration.

Monday morning, but workmen
repaired or replaced the equip
ment before the day was out.
According to Jerry Rosenberger,

first time in the six-year history
of the IS foot structure it has
blown down, although once be-
fore a small section off the top
fell down.
Only the "bus students" ate
at the dining room of the ele-
mentary school Monday as win
dow damage there was particu-
larly concentrated. An estimate
of the total damages to windows
of the three school structures is
not available.
Small structures like outhouses
as well as several home TV an
tennas, were blown down by the
extremely high wind.
