1875 accidents compared to 104 in

The violations of traffic law which
cause the fatal accidents show that
the major reason for the increase
was recklessness. This factor doubled
from 28 in 1860 to Sc in 1861. Those
who had been drinking and/or ex-

Garment Workers
To Lend Farmers
SlOO Million

NEW YORK CITY-(CNS)-A
large labor union is investing 500
million of its pension fund to help
u. S. farmers.
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union (AFL-CIO) will put
$25 million year into government
insured loans to improve and enlarge
family farms, re-finance farm debts,
and develop water systems for farm
homes and irrigation.
ILGWU gets II % interest. Farm
ers borrowing the money pay $50,
with one-half of 10 going to the
Agriculture Department for insur-
ance.
Agriculture Secretary Freeman told
reporters in Washington April 81 this
was the first time a union had in
vested in farm loans. USDA has used
commercial banks, insurance compa-
MES, trust funds, and individual lend
ers in the past.

secret of the united American States.
Free trade.
260 million people are bonding
together under the principles of the
Treaty of Rome and their industrial
production has scared since 1858.
Not only are they producers but
they are our best market for goods.
This is the coming United States
of Europe from which even England
can not remain aloof.
The Italian industrial plant is more
modern than ours and we created
it. The Italian worker can take his
wages in West Germany because
national boundaries are fading and
he can now move freely from one
ECM country to another where there
may be demand for his labor.
The problems of the European
Common Market are now foremost
with the leaders of labor and agri-
culture in this country. How will this
great economic union affect our dol
lar values and our lives?
United States labor and manage
ment have a great stake in the Euro
pean Common Market. 1t is apparent
that our dollar standards must be
supplemented by higher quality stand
ards in order to compete. Our criteria
of fast work at a high price is in 6i-
rect competition with workmen in
Europe who excel in craftsmanship.
The food resources of our land
are in direct competition with the
social advantages offered by ECM
countries to farmers to encourage
greater production.
The pressure is on the Congress.
If they do not grant far broader
tariff-revision powers to the Presi- |
lent, or renew existing reciprocal
agreements the em-by-item isola-
ionist tariff of the Hoover period |
will again be in effect. Kennedy must
,e given authority to negotiate with
his new economic force. Continual
ion of existing reciprocal agree
nents, while more realistic than
Act provisions, can
My lead to a fast worsening posi-
ion for the United States in the

Paying for Health Services By
Aged Beset With Complications

program, the AFL-CIO Social Secur-
ity Department listed four factors
that make it complicated for older
people to pay for their own health
services.
The AFL-CIO department listed
the factors as:
1. Older persons have more days
of illness. They go to the hospital
more frequently and stay longer.
2. Older persons have less income.
8. Stays in the hospital are expen-
sive and are becoming more costly.
A. The proportion of hospital bill
covered by private insurance is much
less for older persons. 1t also de-
creases as the length of stay in
creases.
The average per diem cost of hos
pital care has risen from $3.50 in
1916 to $23.12 in 1866 to 1929 in
1860. The average daily expense is
now about $35, said the AFL-CIO
Social Security Department.
People under age 65, on the aver
age, use about 883 days of hospital
care per 1000 persons per year. in
contrast, people over 65 use 1882
days year.
Census Bureau figures for 1860
give average income of families and
of persons living along Tor with nom
as follows:
Median money income of 2-person
families head 65 and over,
$3.50; with head under 65 1894.
Median money income of persons
living alone or lodging with non-rela-
,ives-65 and over, $1,000; under
s., $2,75O.
Data for 1860 show that So per |
cent of persons 65 and over, not in !
Institutions, had cash incomes of less
han $1,000.

1t is highly advisable not to drive
in Montana on the weekend after
dark. The chances of joining the 275
killed last year are greatly increased,
according to statistics compiled by
the Highway Patrol, because some
one, maybe you, will have had few
drinks and will be going too fast.
The weekend, at night, speed and
drink are the formula for death.
You will most likely hit another
car. Of the 1,001 accidents last year
$40 were collisions. If you don't hit
car you will run off the roadway.
PIG did, while only four overturned
in the road. 35 animals were hit
along with II pedestrians. Four hit
railroad trains, or vice versa. Not a
bicycle was touched last year, while
other objects were hit by five.
A great deal of hypothetical work
has been done to prevent the occur
ence of the contacts listed above.
Education, licensing and patroling
have been used to control these con-
facts. However, the II who struck
the fixed objects have very strong
complaint against the officials of
the highway system.
They have done nothing about the
fixed objects on our roads.
True, Highway has eliminated the
suicide post from the design of all
new structures to be built, but moth
ing has been done to correct the
faulty designs which were struck II
times last year.
The increase in persons killed last
year-275 over 222 in 1860, occurred
entirely at night. From seven in the
evening to eight the next morning

State Supervisor
For ARA Appointed
Bv Harriet Miller

Val M. Matross, Gardiner school
superintendent, has been appointed
to a new position created by Con-
gress under the Area Redevelopment
and Manpower Development Acts,
Supt. of Public instruction Harriet
Miller announced this week.
Matross. who in June will become
state supervisor of the two federal
programs in Montana, has been asso-
ciated with Montana education for
twenty years. He holds bachelors
degree and masters degree from
Rocky Mountain College, Billings and
Colorado State College, respectively,
and has done advanced graduate work
at Montana State College, Bozeman.
Miss Miller said that under the
Area Redevelopment Act, the De-
partment of Public Instruction has
been designated to work with the
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission in establishing programs for
training adults in areas which have
been declared depressed areas. AL
ready such programs are underway
in Butte, Kalispell and Anaconda,
she said.
The state superintendent said that
her department and the UCC also
are responsible for carrying out the
provisions of the Manpower Develop
ment and Training Act of 1862. A
major purpose of this act, she ex-
planned, is to provide training for
persons whose slSills have become
obsolete due to automation, so that
such persons may become fitted for
vital occupations now experiencing
4 manpower shortage.

THE VOICE that "this is absolutely
the best settlement made by any
union in Montana thus far this year.,
Cursury checking bears out his con-

This is the third Swear contract
wherein Local 371 has made substan-
tial wage gains for it's membership.
In 1856, following a strike. a 47c
settlement over a three-year period
was negotiated. In 1859 differences
between management and labor were
kept to a minimum in negotiations.
and 55c increase over the ensuing
Swear period was agreed to.

True. the moaning and grooming

poor soul but lift your thoughts up to
the union victory of the paid annual

On May 9th, Gov. Tim Babcock

erts will dedicate Chief Plenty Coups
Park at Pryor, in Big Horn county,
and will open the museum to the
public. Chief Plenty Coups' personal
effects will be on display. This is
the newest park in our state system
and should be of great interest to
people of Montana and those just
wandering around America.
Why not think about getting ac-
quainted with the secrets of Mon
tana this year? Tired of towns and
motels? Get tent. Or a pickup with
a camper" if you are too lazy to
pitch a tent.
Mama and papa and the kids will

more fun than driving the thousands

There is no grand tour of the state
parks because there are just too
many and they are too far apart for

Health Care

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(COPE)
More than 100000 senior citizens
and other Americans who support
health care under social security will
rally nationwide May 20 in demon
stration that could shake loose the
King-Anderson bill from the House
Ways and Means Committee. Presi-
dent Kennedy's address to the New
York rally will be piped to meetings
in % other cities and will be carried
on network television to millions Of
American homes.
The rallies will be held against a
background of facts showing the COM
plete inadequacy of Kerr-Mills legis-
lation passed in 1860. Only 78,40O
persons over 65 out of nearly II
million in the nation received pay
ments under Kerr-Mills during the
latest month for which figures are
available.
MEDICAL COSTS SOAR
Meanwhile, the cost of medical
care is going up, up, up. The Bureau
of Labor Statistics reports the medi-
cal care index shot up three per cent
from March, 1861 to March, 1862
mainly because of higher prices for
all medical services" Said BIS:
"Prices advanced significantly for
prescriptions and drugs and for medi-
cal care services. Among the more inn
portant increases were higher prices
for vitamins, disqualification insur-
ance and professional medical fees"
SLIGHT DIFFERENCE

The American Medical Association
says the people reject health care
under social security. Pollster Lou
Harris, who makes it his business to
know, says otherwise. He cites these

care in major states, according to
