hot, discussion on the City's
share of the 1962-1963 Fair
banks Independent School Dis
trict budget, a resolution fixing
the City's share at $1,078,000
was defeated at Mondays Coun-
Gil Meeting on the vote of Mayor
Joseph Ribar.
The roll call vote showed Coun-
cilmembers Ringstad and Walker
voting mo" and Councilmen Bouch-
er, Brewington and Roberts voting
yes" The resolution required four
votes to pass, and SO the Mayor got
to cast the deciding mo" vote.
AS soon as discussion was opened,
Councilwoman Sylvia Ringstad
moved that the matter be tabled.
She said she did not feel the Coun-
Gil could consider it until the
amended budget had been received.
She also stated she felt the Council
should wait until the Board of
Equalization met. Her motion was
defeated.
Councilman Red Boucher then
moved that the Council consider
granting the entire sum requested
by the School Board, $1,073, 900.
Bone of Contention
One of the principal bones of con-
tention seemed to be proposal that
the City tax assessment office and
the school district office be COM
bined.

book of American slang words

acquainted with a Capt. Chang
of the Chinese air force. 1t
seems the captain is bewildered
by our vernacular and is in
terested in learning it better.
Perhaps your book will help

Answer: The book you refer to
is actually a booklet, THE Real

Morris and I compiled from the
slang contributions of many
hundreds of American young

blast that has us in its grip.
Good old Montana! We can usually
be assured of being in one beastly
grip or another.
That an increase will be granted
has been anticipated since the Com
mission announced hearings on the
Great Falls Gas Company case.
How much it will be, | suppose
only the Power Company and the
Commission know as of this time,
but there is little chance the Power
Company will be unhappy.
What are the odds the opinion will
be unanimous? There is story
around here that the members of
the Commission were at odds as to
who would be the "hero" and which
two would be "the bad guys.
SO the next time you shiver in

cookies of your heart by remembering
it could be delaying the gas rate in

structed that it is dangerous even
before all the work is completed.
In fact the redesigning of this
menace is only being held up until
the Bureau pays for the initial
mistake.
More land will have to be purchased
and the loops redesigned to avoid the
multiple left hand crossings of traffic
now required to get out of the death

are already being felt. A much cheap
err route proposed by Horace Will
liams, engineer who was fired for
testifying before the Legislature
three years ago, would not have had
the enormous railroad overpass struc-
ture nor gone through the residential
expansion area of the city.
The ancient saying that the
cheapest is the best may not be
music to the fast buck artists but
should probably be a guide in the
construction of roads. This does
not mean the lowering of any safe
ty standard but the careful con-
sideration of every feature we add
to the scene.
When are we going to blast off
the suicide posts which adorn the
bridge ratings? When are we going
to tie the ends of the guard rail steel
into the ground to avoid having them
inserted into the oncoming traffic?

State House Beat :.
FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

There are times when you wish
that newspapers were written to in
fluence a specific decision on the
part of someone governing our every
day affairs, instead of the general
interest of newsreaders.
I wish the Portland office of the
Bureau of Public Roads would turn
down the Bitter Creek route from
the 9th Street Interchange in Bill
lings.
The Interstate Highway Program
in Montana has been continual flub.
If it continues at this rate we will
have an overpriced monstrosity which
will neither serve the people within
the state or those who merely wish
to pass through.
There needs to be reappraisal OF
the way this very permanent land
scape fixture is being created, and
now is the time it should be done
with the Bitter Creek route as a
point of demarcation of the ill-con-
sidered basis from which the flubs
have been originating.
The whole trouble began when
the fast money boys convinced the
Bureau and our Highway Depart
ment that the Interstate was really
not so necessary as a means of
transportation but mostly a make
work project to get money into the
staggering economy.
With this concept established it was
decided that the fastest way to spend
the money would be to build the
structures first and then fill in the
connecting roadways The people
have to live with the highway and
this hindside-foremost procedure is
much like living in house with a
fireplace and couch but no walls
These road furnishings have stood
idle instead of contributing to our
peoples economic well being. Unused
facilities are waste. Not much use
of a banker accepting your money
if he doesn't lend it to somebody. The |
Bureau and Highway are much like |
bankers, we turn our taxes over to |
them so that we can nave a better |
surface transportation system.
The only attractive fast money
feature of the Bitter Greek route is
that it will have the longest bridge |
along the Interstate in Montana. How
long this structure would have to
stand unused before it would lead |
to anything is the ratio of waste in
our tax to the gas pumps. Even after |
it leads out of Billings the two-lane
bottleneck will slow down the con-
venience of the motorist.
So we have poor mouth philoso-
ply wasting one of the essential ele-
mentsv of American transportation.
True economy and engineering have
been abandoned to political pressure
artists among the contractors and the
good old Chamber of, Commerce.

POLITICAL JOB CUT
OUT FOR LABOR
At the two-day convention speakers
included AFL-CIO State President
James S. TIMBER who outlined the
work labor has to do if they are to
stop a "right-to-work" law in the
next legislative session and warned
that everything that is gained at the
bargaining table can be lost at the
legislative level unless labor works
to protect the working man in the
political arena
Robert Harris, executive secretary
of the Montana Council of Carpen-
tiers, gave resume of what the Nc
Clellan Bill, which is on the desks
of congressman in Washington, could
mean to the labor movement.
He said it is zone of the worst.
adding, "even in wartime the gov
eminent has never gone so far,
as this bill in seeking to penetrate
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT relations. He
said it would nationalize the labor
union movement and industry.

The New Frontiers chief
prepayment of the handcraft
arts, Pierre Salinger's wife
Nancy, is up to her ears in
arrangements for an exhibit
ton Of the best contem-
porary American ceramics.
The show, which opens at
S pm. today at the Smith
Sonian Institutions Natural

country's entry in the Third
International Exhibition of
Contemporary Ceramics, to
be held in Prague, Czechslo-

Secretary's wife, herself a
talented ceramist, believes
it is important to get the
works of American hand
craft artists before audiences
abroad.
This country has some of
the finest potters in the
world, and I think people in
other countries should know
that" says Mrs. Salinger.
People know about this
country'S achievements in
fine arts" she added, ''but
somehow handcrafts seem
to have been largely neg
lected.
Actually, crafts often can
be better understood than
the other arts" she con-
tinued. They get through to
people and I think thus often
do a better job at what I
think we ought to be doing
proving that we are not just
a materialistic, mechanistic
society"
The current show, which
will be at the Smithsonian
only this week cit closes
Saturday afternoon, repre-
sents the very best of what
contemporary American GER
amiSts-aS selected by their
peers, who know their work
best-have turned out dur
ing the last year.
The Smithsonian assem-
bled the show at the request
of the United States Infor-
nation Agency, which will
send it on tour throughout
Europe, after the Prague
show, through most of 1868.
The United States is one Of
81 nations which will par
ticipate in the Prague show,
which is under auspices Of
the International Academy
of Ceramics.
About so pieces by 20 art
lists are included. Because
the show will go on for so
long, taking the artists Of
ferings out Of circulation
where they cannot offer them
for sale, the Government is
encouraging private individ-
uals to buy the pieces, either
for their personal use later or
as a donation to the Smith

ton.
Such a purchase is tax de-
ductible, they point out. So
