From The Sidelines
BY Tiff Mckay

I see where Flathead county
will soon begin to participate in
the distribution of surplus foods
TO their needy under existing
rules of the Department Of Agri-
culture. A representative of the
Flathead County Commissioners
will spend two days in Browning
this week observing the issuance
of these foods at the local distri-
button center. The fact that the
Browning operation was recon-
mended as one TO study is a fine
commentator of the success Of
this program.
incidentally, a representative
of the Department of Agriculture
regional office in San Francisco
spent two days last week in
Browning, also studying the
Browning operation. Upon leav-
ing. ne informed Mr.. o. A. Telle-
Zero. manager of the local opera
ton, that to his knowledge no
other plant in the western Unit
ed States was as well equipped
and as well managed as the
Browning plant.
When the program first started
in May of 1858 there was consid-
cradle doubt that such a program
was workable. The first question
was whether or not adequate
plant facilities could be furnish
ed. The Tribal Council and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs went
to work on this and came up
with a solution.
The old warehouse was donat-
ed for use for storage facilities,
and the tribe built a $500 re-
movable cooler in the warehouse
for storage of perishable foods.
But before this, the Governors
office of the State Of Montana
had to be convinced that there
was sufficient need in the state
TO warrant the program. Cover
nor Aronson (since retired) came
out in opposition to the program,
stating that the state could not
afford the cost of such a pro
gram. / will always think Aron-
son was the victim of misinfor-
nation on the subject; as he
seemed to think the State would
have TO agree to furnish all the
States needy people with these
surplus foods in order to permit
the issuance of any such foods
in the State. At any rate, Aron-
son left the state when this ar
gument was raging full blast; and
Lieutenant Governor Paul Can
non signed the request permit
ting the distribution Of surplus
foods in those counties where the
County Commissioners requested
permission 10 do so.
Locally, we were then faced
with the same problem Cascade
county is now considering = con
yincing the County Commission

and workable. One of the first

ted, the second the wholesale
value of the food. Flour, 794, $50
lbs. S63 500: Butter, 174,240 lbs,
$50, 1893; Pork and Gravy, 17,400
lbs, S7,840; Lard, 112,800 lbs,
$50, 456; Corn Meal 377,000 lbs,
S26, 439; Dried Milk 1876 lbs,

Beans $4,000 lbs, Sl.l70; Cheese
81, 900 lbs, sl3,l40; Dried Eggs
36,278 lbs, s44.886.
These figures total 1887. 484
pounds of food distributed rep
resenting a total wholesale value
of s291 $4,000. Think of this a
minute - almost two million
pounds, or more than a quarter
of a million dollars Of food dis
tributed to the needy. During
this same period, approximately
$4,000 in cash general relief
was given out. Can you imagine
the change of diet the lack of
this food would have meant to
the more than 700 families Tor
$500 people) who receive these
foods each month? Last month,
this figure rose to 1,080 families.
I believe the surplus foods pro-
gram has also helped the mer-
chants in the county; as the avail
ability of these foods have left
more money in the hands of low
er income groups for the pur.
chase of such higher profit items
as canned goods, meat, etc.
There is a theory sometimes
expressed that a surplus foods
program will only work on In

objections raised was whether or
not the cost was so high as to
be prohibitiye. Our local mayor,
o. A. Tellefero, came up with a
partial solution to this problem -
he volunteered to manage the
program without charge. The
Tribal Council agreed to hire a
clerk and to pay the shipping
charges, when required, on the
food from its place of storage to
Browning. Both the Tribe and
City agreed that their prisoners
could work, If they desired to
shorten their time of service, in
distributing the food.

A. PREAMBLE & SUMMARY
FINDINGS

We the members of the Confer
ence would preface our report
with an expression of lively APP.
citation of the generous, thought
full and felicitous service afforded
us by government authorities for
the ,furtherance of our study and
understanding of the complex sub
iect submitted to us for consider
alton, namely, the feasibility of
establishing an institute of higher
education in the Territory. The
comprehensive information pre-
pared for our initial orientation by
DIR. Alonzo G. Moron, Director of
Cultural Affairs, and his col
leagues coupled with the lucid and
significant testimony of other gov
eminent officers and civic leaders
in the course of u several con-
ference sessions, have been indis-
pensably helpful. We would COM
mend those responsible for the
skillful construction of our confer
ence program and the efficiency
Of its management. The extraor-
binary hospitality of His Excel
lency, the Honorable Ralph M.
Paiewonsky, Governor of the Is
lands, and his gracious lady; and
the uniform courtesy and solici-
tude of all those who contributed
to our comfort, convenience, and
enjoyment Of the experience will
long be gratefully remembered.
From the statistical and other
factual data at our command, the
Information given to us by edu-
Gators on the Islands and from the
expressions of opinion at public
meetings held with US both on St.
Croix and st. Thomas, we are
convinced that the establishment
Of a college of the Virgin Islands
is a feasible and desirable deve-
lopment, subject to the broad con-
siderations later outlined. We en-
vision a public institution initially
providing two-year programs lead
ing to an associate degree. We feel
that it would be most unfortunate
if every effort were not made to
give early effect to such an extra
ordinary combination Of favoring
circumstances, remembering the
, 1961-09-11

force of the Shakespearean adage
that ''There is a tide in the affairs
of mems, which, taken at the flood,
leads on to.fortune."
We would strongly endorse the
observation that the current con-
cept of American education as a
three TERED system of interlocking
elementary, secondary, and higher
educational components is one
that should characterize educa-
tional opportunity in these Islands
as it does elsewhere under the
American flag. Any educational
system denied the capstone of
higher learning is handicapped in
its effort to develop effective citi-
zenship. Not only in the improve
ment of the usefulness and hap
piness of those privileged to quail
fy for such well rounded educa-
tional training, but in the cultural
effects Of such a centre of learning
upon the body polite do we see
advantages otherwise wanting.
These advantages obtain in
every American community hav-
ing broad access to educational IA
cilities that extend from the kin
dergarten to college levels. We feel
that they are peculiarly important
to an insular economy less able to
draw freely upon neighboring re-
sources.
We recognize the important con-
tributions made to various phases
of post-secondary education in the
Virgin Islands by divers field OPP
erations of institutions of higher
learning of Puerto Rico and the
mainland. We contemplate that
they will have a continuing role,
but we think the time has now
com for a well-rounded, indigo
nous structure operated primarily
by and for the citizens of the Vir-
gin Islands.
An institution of higher educa-
ton would undoubtedly encour-
age vocational preparation of q
broader nature, better suited to
the changing technology likely to
attend the economic development
of the Virgin Islands. New hori-
IONS would also become apparent
