3 Erect
Beef Promotion
Signs in County

Have you noticed the new
beef promotional signs on local
highways? On Sunday, March
81, the Ding Dong Cowbelles
erected these signs. It was the
climax of about two months
Of planning and working on
the project. Business firms of
Sidney and Fairview gave fl
nancial assistance.
The Cowbelles divided into
four groups previous to that
day. Each group and their
husbands met at their location
to erect the signs at 2 pm. Pic
lures were taken after the
signs were up. Erwin Putnam,
substituting for Mrs. Putnam,
and this committee placed their
sign north of Fairview on
Highway % on land belonging
to Adam Buxbaum.
Mrs. Russell MERGERS group
Of eight cowbelles set their
sign south Of Sidney at the
junction of Highway 16-2O-23.
Mr.. Victor Buxbaum coopera-
ted in furnishing the land.
Eight Cowbelles Of Mrs. Ed
Lewis'S committee met at the
junction of Highway Is and
201 northwest of Sidney. This
sign is on the Albert Swanson
property.
The fourth sign is also on
Highway Is near Savage on
Charlie Johnson's land. Mrs.
John Blankenship was chair
man of this group. Four Cow
bellies and their husbands as
sisted her.

which she had made especially
for the queen. At the end Of
the program the members en-
joyed the queens cake and
coffee.
Mrs. Krause is the top
weight loser in the local club
and will go to Butte later on

NAHB Attacks Bill
On Lumber Importing

The president Of the Ma
tional Association Of Home
Builders has called on its
members to protest a Senate
approved amendment which
would require imported lum-
Der to bear the name Of the
country Of its origin.
w. Evans Buchanan called
on members Of the associa-
ton to write President Ken
nedy and Congressman to
protest the amendment to a
bill already passed in the
House Of Representatives.
He said the amendment
is "the first step in a legisla-
tive program proposed by the
lumber industry to limit the
supply Of lumber in the
United States for all Federal
Housing Administration and

housing and. if possible, for
all housing"
Mr.. Buchanan said this
move could lead to an in
crease in the cost Of housing
and added that the NAHB
opposes "this type Of artifi-
cially created price rise in
construction materials" be-
cause "if it can be done for
lumber. why. not for hard
ware, nails, tile and all the
other materials that go into
a house and from time to
time may be imported2"
The NAHB president de-
clared that in today's market
any increase in the price Of
softwood lumber, imported
from Canada, will cause a
rise in the cost of housing.

Foreign Housing important

Federal housing projects
in foreign countries should
be made a top-priority item
in the administrations for
eign policy, the Journal of
BODYBUILDING states in its
August issue.
The voice of the National
Association of Home Build
ers features a special 16-pege
section on International hous-
ing stressing Government
aid in projects it considers
essential to the spreading Of
democracy abroad.
The Journal cites a United
Nations report stating that
900 million persons in the
developing nations of Africa,
Asia and Latin America are
without homes.
Felipe Herrara, president
Of the Inter-American De-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-03

velopment Bank, has stated
that the housing deficit in
Latin American urban areas
amounts to IA million units,
the Journal reports, with a
total housing lack of "a mill
lion units.
In examining the programs
Of the Government and pri-
vate industry for increasing
housing projects abroad, the
magazine states:
Behind efforts to provide
housing In developing coun-
tries lies the underlined, un-
declared secondary role hous-
ing plays in our foreign aid
program. To emphasize capt.
tai goods only and assign
housing a non-priority role
is a mistake. The question Of
housing abroad, mainly in
Latin America, should be-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-08-03

come one of the priorities of
our foreign policy"
The Journal states that the
largest problem in meeting
Latin American housing
needs is lack of money for
long-term mortgage financ-
ing at reasonable rates. The
Journal states that most
builders favor a program of
guarantees of investment for
privately financed and pri--
vately constructed housing.
The Foreign Aid Act au-
thorizes guarantees of up to
100 per cent, the Journal
points out, and adds that
Federal officials have limited
this in practice to 80 per
cent.

At season when the hounds of
spring 1--WE hope) are once again on
winters traces, 1t is saddening to read
that Rocky Colavito is unhappy and
disappointed. For him, II the Associated
Press can be relied upon, this is more
the season Of Bryant's melancholy days.
Rocky, 1t seems, has Just signed his
1858 contract with the Detroit Tigers,
for whom he roams the outfield and
hits that long ball But 1862 was not a
red-hot season for Rocky. AS opposed
TO the preceding year, his record showed
the following decline: Home runs, from
IS TO 81; runs batted In, from ll3 to %;
batting average, from 200 10 .273.
In the face Of this sinking perform
ance, Rocky, after a brief period In the
headlines as a "holdout," has settled for
a modest" increase in compensation
roughly a $4,000 boost from $4,000 a
year TO a mere $4,000. Rocky is said 10
have been demanding 100000, although
one never knows Just what to believe In
these springtime dope stories from the
training camps. He might even have
wanted more.
Rocky, however, is only 20 years old.
And 1t Is as hard TO know what advice TO
offer him, as II Is easy 10 doubt that he
will be interested In any. However, an
old saw comes TO mind: Things might
be better. And they might be a lot worse.

Having ventured beyond the bound
aries Of their own jurisdiction for a look
at the wide, wide world, a couple of
members Of the Montgomery County
Council apparently have decided that
the Metropolitan Washington Council
Of Governments is not bunch Of crack
pots or busybodies, after all. At any rate,
Chairman Floyd has appointed several
members Of the Montgomery group to
sit on various committees Of the regional
Organization during the next few
months, possibly to test the initial
reaction further.
According to news accounts Of this
momentous decision, none Of the Mont
gomery officials indicated that there
might be change in the vote which
they already have cast to withdraw
from the regional council as soon as the
Montgomery dues (paid by a previous
council expires in June. Even on a
limited basis, however, their latest de-
ciSion to participate in discussions of
common regional problems with other
officials Of the area is step in the right
direction, which we applaud. For this
direct exposure may very well convince
the newly elected Montgomery leaders
OF the need for as much regional CO.
operation as possible.

The President on Testing

Despite some recent reports to the
contrary, President Kennedy now has
made 1t gratifyingly clear that the
United States has no intention. of accept
ing nuclear test ban inadequately
safeguarded against the danger Of
cheating.
The President has stated the case
this way: Although substantial prog
ress" has been made in improving Arneri-
can seismic policing devices to cope with
possible clandestine shots, there still is
need for effective on-site inspection,
and I'VE would not accept a test ban
which did not give us every insurance
that we could detect series of tests
underground. We would not submit
a treaty which did not provide that
assurance to the United States Senate.
Nor would the Senate approve it."
These are unqualified words, and
they are decidedly welcome at a time
when there has been much confusion
Of tongues over our country's negotiating
position at the dreary and apparently
futile Geneva talks on the subject. Some
Of our best nuclear experts have ex-
pressed the fear that our representatives
at those talks have been conceding too
much to the Russians. Indeed, according
to testimony just heard by the Joint
Congressional Atomic Committee, what
our delegation has proposed there would
be quite insufficient to provide the kind
Of insurance the President has spoken Of.
Yet the fact remains that Mr..
Kennedy has left no room for doubt
that he is determined to insist upon
having the Soviet Union agree to treaty
that will be properly policed and gen.
timely worthy of trust. Otherwise, as he
has plainly indicated, no treaty at all
will be submitted to the Senate, which
quite obviously, and quite rightly, would
never ratify a test ban based on little
more than the Kremlin's VIGOROUSLY
unreliable word.
The President has done well to
speak out as he has, emphatically and
unambiguously, on this gravely complex
matter. One can only hope that the
Kremlin will read him carefully and
decide, at long last, to negotiate honestly
and sincerely for a treaty effective
