said, and a probable Junior district
court system is set up, the informal
atmosphere of the justice courts will
disappear, and citizens appearing be-
fore the new courts will almost GER
tainly have to have attorneys to
handle their cases, even if only a
minor traffic violation.
Stallcup admitted that the Justice
courts in many organized townships
could stand considerable improve
ment, but, he pointed out, the legis-
lature already has the power to set
qualifications for the office.

MINERAL SURVEY BILL
REPORTED

The Senate Interior Committee
last week approved Senator Metcalf's
bill to authorize the Secretary of the
Interior to conduct survey of fed
orally owned lands for the purpose
of locating strategic minerals, with
the goal of establishing adequate sup
plies of minerals and fuels for the
future.
In it's report on the bill, the In
terror Department said:
History has taught us that new
mineral raw materials are con-
stantly becoming items of COM
merce, emphasis sometimes shifts
away from traditional materials,
and new techniques are continual
ly being developed to find con-
cealed deposits 1t is in the
national interest to amass all pos
sible information on domestic min
eral deposits, not only of strategic,
but of all minerals. Such informa-
ton, useful as it is in peacetime,
has proved doubly valuable in
emergencies"
The bill authorizes maximum of
81 million a year for this program,
and gives the Department of Defense
to preclude exploration in
certain areas.

dividends. The 1861 report lists $51.2
as total revenue and $9.7 paid out in

SENIOR CITIZENS
PROJECT APPROVED
By VIC REINEMER, Exec.

The White House has informed
| Senators Mansfield and Metcalf that
Housing and Home Finance Agency
has approved $425,000 loan for a
31-dwelling senior citizens housing
project in Plentywood. The project
will include 10 one-room units for
single occupancy and II one-room
and 4 two-room units for double oc-
cupancy, central dining room open
ing to a living room area, outdoor
terrace, and craft room. The site for
the project, donated by Sheridan
county, will be in new residential
area and within walking distance of
shops, library, the city auditorium,
municipal golf course and planned
dam which will create lake for boat
ing, fishing and picnicking. Rental
rates will be from $65 to $85 per
person and meals will be available
for $50 per month per person.
NEW TIMBER ACCESS
ROAD PROGRAM
Funds to help finance construction
of primary access roads by small
firms which have purchased timber
from forests supervised by BLM will
be available under a new program
announced by the Small Business Ad-
ministration and Department of In
terror.
Qualified small firms with not
more than $50 employees) may apply
to SBA for up to 80 per cent of the
total estimated construction costs of
primary access roads. Progress dis
bursements on the loans will be made
by SBA as construction of portions |
of the roads are completed. Loan re-
will be scheduled to CO.
incide with installment payments
made by the small firms under tim
Der sales contracts. Since the new
plan makes it possible for small firms
to finance road construction as the
timber is logged, it will reduce the
amount of working capital needed to
perform the necessary construction.

UMBER HITS INTERNATIONAL
UNIONS
State AFL-CIO President James S.
TIMBER spoke on the vital Importance
of all segments of labor working
more closely together 365 days a
year, cor you're dead in the halls of
the legislature and the congress-. He
said that working people make gains
at the bargaining table, "only to get
hell kicked out of us in the legisla-
ture :"
He briefly reviewed the setting up
of the Montana United Labor Coun-
Gil to offer political action medium
for unions affiliated and not affili-
ated with the AFL-CIO, and pointed
out that it's inception came about be-
cause of the Chamber of Commences
announced intention of securing leg
islative enactment of so-called fright
to-work" laws in a number of states,
including Montana, this winter. Other
major aim of MULC, he said, in ask
ing the Clerks full cooperation, is
to fight enactment of another Cham
Der of Commerce goal, state gen.
eral sales tax.
Speaking about the desperate situ-
alton generally facing American la
Dor, TIMBER was highly critical of
the many International Unions for
their failure to encourage leadership
training at all levels of their organi-
rational structure, from the local
union to the international Office.
"What have they done," he asked,
ito educate people for official work
at the local, district and international
Ievels?" He said there is imperative
need for leadership seminars and
and that, so long as the In
don't take the lead in
promoting such leadership programs,
they're playing arrangements game.
Management" he contended, "does-
1T want local unions to develop good,
intelligent leadership.

It's The Little Things {.

Recently. visitor from Pittsburgh commented what
he called the large amount of trivia published in The
Republican, He referred of course to the letters from
all the county which relate the little day by day acv-
ties of the residents.
We admit that most of them of lasting signifi-
canoe, but we believe they're important anyway For
thing they tend to bind the people of the county together
and in large and varied Garrett this is pretty i'm
portan For another they provide link between former
residents living elsewhere and their friends and relatives
hcre--and that's important, too.
But they also do something else The recording Of
these many trivial activities reafms to the individual
whether he is conscious of it not his importance to
ciey If takes the interest to write about him. and
else takes the time read it, then he has escaped
the impersonal anonymity toward which society con-
tinuay keeps pushing
The average person rates major news story only Il
few times his lifetime because the rest of the time he
engaged in routine and riva activities. But think
these are important too and should be mentioned if only
to say that one neighbor took dinner with another
Trivial? Maybe But life is made up of million trivial
ties.
