banging and the propulsion of

from the car because of the

enough to start a fire, or to

seat belts can be loosened over

Wallace had one other word of
advice to motorists: Slow down

LETTERS

CROOKS,

|
I have just finished re-reading THE
| Brave New World" by Scott and Helen
| Nearing, which is a book well worth
reading by anyone who desires to get
more accurate picture of the situa-
| ton in the communist countries, than
is provided by our propaganda news
papers and magazines.
1t was my good fortune to meet
Scott and Helen Nearing something
over a year ago when Scott spoke at
the State University and to visit and
question them personally at a gather
ing held at a neighbours home after
ward.
They, the hearings, had spent 1867
and 1858 on a travel through the
countries, Russia and China, of which
the book treats and their first hand
account of conditions in those two
countries gives an altogether different
picture than that presented to the
readers of our press reports and lis
teners to radio comments.
While the hearings are socialists
and would be expected to view con-
ditions in those countries in % favor
able light, their account, and the book,
provides a greatly different picture
than that of drab desolation pre-
scented to our citizens who have not
been fortunate enough to see those
nations at first hand and the book is
enl1ghten1ng for that reason.
1t was also my good fortune a few
months previous to meeting the. Near
1ngs to have conversation with a
neighbor, a farmer, who had visited
Russia and he could not be considered
a socialist or communist sympathizer
His account of conditions in Russia
confirms my belief that the hearings
picture is substantially accurateiJ This
neig1hbor whom I have known for
years, stated that contrary to- the
newspaper accounts of tourists being
shown only what the Russians wished
them to see, that in his trip the only
places they were not permitted to
visit were the Russian military estab-
lShments and installations, and those
ire top secret" in this country even
rom our own citizens.
Another book that is well worth
my readers time is Mission to Mos
cow. by former Ambassador Joseph
oavles, who can by no stretch of the
imagination be considered a commu-
list sympathizer. While Davies book

et-etc. But the question remains:
How good is the food?
The institutions head said that
the food will be "more adequate"
when a dietetian is hired.
Hitler had dietetians in his con-
centration camps.
The present dependence upon fees
charged parents to operate the in
stitution is deliberate lodging of
duty by the legislature and the So
ciety it supposedly represents.
The second business which occu-
pied Babcock was the death of Ike
TAYLOR of Lewistown who was a
member of the Oil and Gas Conserva-
ton Commission. In order to prevent
Rice from even thinking about MAX
ing an appointment letter was writ
ten in Billings to the Helena office
by the Governor naming the success
sor. The name will not be revealed
until after the funeral service.
Maintaining political control over
Oil & Gas is more important to Bah
cock and his oil industry buddies
than respect for any human being, I
guess.
