FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

A most refreshing breath of rea-
SON swept through the stuffed regi-
mentation of the Highway Depart
ment when the ladies from Missoula
got the safety rail for the bridge
which connects the main street of
the towns business district together.
(See story, page 81.
This means that designs will be
made for the location instead of
limitations of the latest fad in con-
formity, if the ladies have their way.
More probably they'll have fight
on their hands in that every en-
trenched bureaucrat in the country
will give them the old run around
until they have to retreat to their
kitchens to regain sanity.
But they do offer a chance for a
new union of common sense and de-
sign principles to overcome the dead
hand of imitation which has gained

the eradication of the design blunders

have their spear ends buried into the

the drawing boards which continually
shape our landscape of tomorrow you

making us accept imitation as the

Ancient Code Is
Now Out of Date

Editor The, Peopre's Voice:
Throughout history, man has need
lessly pitted himself against his
brethren for selfish causes. Perhaps,
at the time, he thought he was win
ming, but no man can continue to win
at such selfish exploits. There always
comes a time, as history shows, when
the suppressed will rise and dominate.
only to start the cycle over again. Why
must man when he attains power, try
to dominate those who have not yet
attained this peak of self achievement
Now, we have achieved military
strength with the ability to demolish
the inhabitants of the earth, and make
it unlivable for centuries to come, we
cannot dominate by force those who
have been suppressed, for this would
mean self destruction. In the face of
these facts, man continues ITO try to
bask himself in military might, thus
only making his own destruction that
much easier. The time has truly come
to ''beat our swords into plowshares" /;
man can no longer live by the code,
"An eye for an eye and tooth for
a TOOTH" for today, we would find
ourselves both blind and tooth1ess

AccompIishes Nothing -.
Thinks VOICE Should
Law Down and Die

Editor, The Peoples Voice:
L have received your notice saying
that my subscription was out, also
your gentle hint that If L wanted you
to continue working yourself up in g
lather, about things that you can't dc
anything about, you will have to Sus-
pend publication, unless came through
with "a donation.
I don't know why you think that
anyone would care whether you con-
tfnued publishing the VOICE or not,
for 1 can not see that things have i'm
proved a bit for the Great Unwash ed"
since you, or the ones before you, have
kept this publication in circulation.
Your circulation is so small that 1T
only gets to those that think as you do,
and already are aware of he "snide"
things that are already being perpe-
trated upon the defenseless heads of
the public. That is just like taking
the money out of one pocket and put
ting it in the other. You have been
doing that a long time and if you are
as intelligent as you profess to be,
you should have known that you would
go broke long time ago.
L never could see why you have re-
fused to take enough advertising to
assure you a living wage, as other
newspapers do. 1t would look a little
more dignified / think than to threat
en- your subscribers with your admiS-
sion of defeat unless they kicked
through with donation. If you are
going broke it is certainly your own
fault, people are doing that very thing
every day in increasing numbers.
L suppose that one reason why you
have struggled on with your publica-
ton is in the hopes that you might
make things better in this State for
the person in average circumstances.
You should know by this time that
things are not getting better, but are
decidedly worse the last four years.
Things will have to get worse before
they get better, and the quicker that
time comes the better. Your efforts will
not amount to one iota. There is rapidly
getting to be condition in this State
that prevails in lots of Southern coun-'
tries. There are just two kinds OF
people in the State now. The rich and
the poor. The rich are getting more
powerful, and the poor are now down
to a bare living. We now have no mid
die class. Ask the Independent bust
ness man what his financial condition
is. You should be in a position to see
the list of bankruptcies that are go
ing through every day.
The corporations of this State are
skillfully keeping from publication the
true condition of the people of this
State They control the press of the
State and the Legislature. What more
could a person want.
So 1 ann not going to renew my sub
scriptions to your paper, for l can't
stand to see a man bat his head against
a stone wall as you are doing. admire
your efforts in behalf of everybody that
needs a voice in affairs of the State,
but L hate to see you have to ask for
aims in % State that harbors some of
the richest corporations in the world.
Very truly yours-GEORGE A. BURR,

1t is rumored on the Hi-Line that

L never have been nor do l intend TO

is more dangerous to the human race
than the black plague of medieval

Dear MIR. and Mrs. Billings:

looked upon the VOICE as sure place

paper is of little worth to me or to

American Public Power Association

Public utility districts in the
State of Washington reported
a record year in sales for 1862
and an average residential rate
of less than a cent for the first
time, Ken Ellington, executive
secretary of the Washington
Public Utility Districts Asso-
citation, reported recently.
Average residential rate
for the PUBS statewide was
9.8 mills, MIR. Ellington said.
For all other sales to ulti-
mate consumers other than
residential consumers, the
average rate was 2 mills.
"These new records con-
tinue the trend toward increas-
ingly greater differences be-
tween the average rates OF the
PUBS and the private power
companies in the State" Mr..
Ellington said. "The private
power average residential rate
runs about % % higher than
the PUD average, and the pri-
vate power average for all
other types of consumers is APP
proximately 500 higher" he
said.

DURUM ACREAGE UP
Each year Department of Agri-
culture queries thousands of farmers
by mail to determine planting inten-
lions. This winters survey, just tabu-
lated, shows Montana farmers intend
to plant an estimated $4,000 acres
to Durum wheat, 265 per cent of
last years $4,000. Last year Sena-.
tors Mansfield and Metcaf got
through a floor amendment to the
farm bill permitting farmers with
recent Durum history to participate
in the program even though they
don't grow Durum exclusively.
North Dakota farmers indicated
an intention to up Durum planting
100 per cent, to 1,847,00O acres;
South Dakota 12O per cent, to 1907
900 acres and Minnesota 173 per
cent, to $4,000 acres.

FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION
Another $235,463 in federal aid
to education is on it's way to Glasgow

MORE FILA MONEY

needs more money for operating loans
in Montana during the fiscal year

While FILA has done an admirable

needs of family farmers, the current
operating loan fund is Completely

cat the beginning of the fiscal
year. Montana was allocated $4.2
million in operating loan funds"
Metcalf said. Subsequent ALLEGATIONS
made available early in Febru-
airy, brought this to S6.4 million
However, l am informed that
these funds are now exhausted and
that at present the FILA is unable
to advance further amounts for mi
tial operating loans in the State. This
situation has struck hard at the pros
poets of family farmers and ranchers
most in need of help"
Metcalf said FILA operating loan
applications in Montana are running
$50 above those submitted in the
first eight months of last fiscal year.
He expressed the fear that unless
there are additional loan funds many
fine farmers and ranchers will be
forced to sell out or seek prohibitively
high priced credit from unconven-
tional sources" He urged Freeman
to consider asking Congress for sup
Elemental FILA loan funds to carry
the program through this fiscal year.

When I was II, and the
other kids were joining fra
ternities and going to dances,
I was reading history, the
religions of the world, cur
rent events, medicine, en-
gineering, law and trash.
This, and a file cabinet
memory, saved me from my
just desserts lifetime of
stamping initials in hat
bands.
God selected the right par
ents for me. My mother was
strict, pious and loving. My
father was intelligent, in
quisitive and dominating.
From them I received a sense
of balance. When I was %,
I married a moon-faced girl
named Elinor Dunning. She
taught me responsibility.
For 81 years, the best times
and the worst were spent with
her. The children Virginia
Lee and Gayle Peggy taught
me something I didn't un-
derStand: UnSelfish love.
They taught me how to give
without expecting an lou.
When Elinor died, marital
love died with her. Finis.

chance to get my drivel pub

with Kelly in spite of ring

lights, and a mentality
which kept murmuring: "Too
late. Too late"
She was 81 years younger
than I, and had two beautiful
blondS, Karen, 8, and Kath-
leen, 6, and I felt about as
ready to bring up two more
little girls as I am to ride
the next missile into orbit.
Still, a man can be wrong.
We were married a year and
half ago. Kelly taught me
forbearance, patience. and
the unity of a team in
harness.
EVERY STEP of the way,
I learned from others. The
little girls brought me back
down the years to the era of
the spending money situa-

report cards, goodnight kisses,
hugs, and unmitigated faith
in everything I tell them.
