tors request for an explanation OF
policy on reseal of farm-stored wheat
Deputy Undersecretary of Agricul.
ture Charles Murphy wrote as fol,
lows:
"Our basic concept of price sup
port programs does not envision con-
tinued production of grains or
the continued large expenditures for
storage in any position. Reseal pro-
grams were first developed as emerg-
ency measures to meet shortage
of storage space. Farmers were en-
couraged to extend their farm stor-
age loans for only one year, thus
delaying delivery for our conven-
fence, but also permitting them to
earn storage payments for that extra
year of holding grain on the farm.
"The failure of the programs (since
1882 to keep production in line led
to large buildup of stocks. Reseal
programs were extended for longer
periods as SURPRISES mounted. This
unfortunately caused reseal programs
to be regarded as continuing source
of income by some of our producers.
Referring specifically to Montana
wheat. we had in storage there as of

FLATHEAD COUNTY
RETAINING PROGRAM

The Area Redevelopment Act ap-
proved last year has already spanked
local efforts to develop overall eco
nomic plans in number of Montana
communities. This by itself, without
federal loans, grants or technical as
sistance, will prove valuable to those
communities. Last week one of the
first counties in the nation to qualify
under the act, Flathead, moved into
the next phase of the program.
ARA announced a $4,000 pro-
gram to train 95 persons in six
trades in Kalispell. The occupations,
number of trainees Qength OF train
ing in parenthesis) follow:
Auto mechanic, Is Is weeks;
stenographer, 20 (16); rodman-engi-
neering aide, Is (16); lumber grader,
Is (S); fishing lure assembler. Is
(8); logging equipment mechanic,
Is (10).
Training will be conducted in the
Flathead High School and National
Guard Armory by the State Voca-
tional Education Department, with
the lumber graders going to nearby
sawmills for part of their training.
Health, Education and Welfare De-
partment furnished S19,926 to the
state vocational agency, for instruc-
tional cost. Labor Department allo-
Gated $4,000 to the state agencies |
for payment of training subsistence
benefits. Average payment trainee
is S29 a week.
This is the second training project
for Montana under ARA.
The first one went to Butte. Pros
poets for employment after training
are considered good on the basis of
surveys of occupational needs in the
area. Persons interested in the pro-
gram should check with the employ
nent office in Kalispell.

TIMBER INVENTORY ASSISTED

ARA also announced last week APP
proval of a $4,000 technical assist
ance project for an inventory of tim
Der resources, economic analysis, and
preparation of plan for management
of timber operations on the Flathead
Indian Reservation, which includes
parts of Missoula, Flathead, Lake and
Sanders counties.
The basic inventory will be done
by private forestry consulting con-
Germ, to be chosen by competitive
bids. Bureau of Indian Affairs viii
draw up the management plan. For
est Service Northwest Range and Ex-
pertinent Station, Portland, will make
the economic analysis.
Last inventory on the reservation
was % years ago. Preliminary study
shows that cutting can be acceler-
ated substantially. The Flathead trib-
al council foresees about SO per cent
expansion in employment and pay
rolls from an expanded timber oper-
alton.

ABUNDANT LIFE
The POWER OF LITTLE THINGS

the years, the savings from that
have given a Slum child a coun-
try vacation and have provided
Christmas cheer for hopeless
families. II has helped make a
home for an orphaned child and
has sent food packages to the
worlds needy. Only a few cents
"a day are saved, but countless
joy has been given by the little
ladyS savings.
We should see the greatness Of
little things as Jesus did. Great
accomplishments can be wrought
by little moments of prayer
scattered through a busy day.
Happiness can be given by a
carefully chosen card sent to a
hospital patient or by a smiling
greeting to all you meet. a
smile can be the sunshine that
brightenS someone's day. One Of
the greatest joys of life is receiv-
ing unexpected good news. Write
a letter expressing your love t.
someone who is not expecting
to hear from you. 1t will be .
blessing to him to know that he
has not been forgotten. Send a
small sacri6cial gift to a great
cause. May Jesus be able to say
of each of US, You have done
what you could"
Christ hears each silent, des-
perate cry for help. He, who
listens to the very least Of those
who inhabit the earth, hears
your prayers. He loves you. God
is truly a good God. He cares
for His own.

INCREASED TELEPHONE RATES

INCREASED TELEPHONE RATES
THE ECONOMIC facts Of life are coming closer and
closer, and looking us right in the face every day. One example
is the proposed increased rates for telephone service by the
Virgin Islands Telephone Corporation. As a public utility the
corporation may not increase its rates without first receiving
clearance through the Public Utilities Commission. And that
in turn is due to the fact that this corporation has a franchise,
and is therefore the only one which can operate a telephone
service. The interest of the public is so closely allied, and
the service 50 necessary that the Government has to protect
that interest.
FLAT MONTH"; rates Of IS and IL are now charged
The corporation wants increases, which may be high.
However, it must be borne in mind that the telephone service
has undergone a complete change, moving from the old, an
tiquated system to the modern system Of today. That was
an enterprise Of considerable expenditure, and the Corporation
must somehow seek to protect its investment, and the most
logical way is through a rate increase.
THE HEARINGS will give the public an opportunity
to be heard. The corporation will present its case, backed up
with facts and figures, and plans for the future. When all
the evidence is in, the Commission will then make its recon-
m~endation, and one Of three things will happen; D the in
crease will be allowed as requested; ~ it will be denied, 8)
it will be allowed with notifications.
AT H CONCLUSION Of the hearings the Commits
sion might recommend granting the increase so as not to
~ieopardize the progress of the corporation. After operating at
a profit or some time the corporation may then find the way
to reduce rates and thus pass the benefits back to the public
THERE is NO doubt whatever that if we seek an i'm
proved, modern, efficient system, then we shall have to find
the way to pay for it. and this is exactly what is taking place
The public is protected through one of the functions OF its
agencies, the Public Service commission, which sees to it that
neither side suffers. The public will receive better service, and
the corporation is assured Of a fair return on its investment.
