subdivisions certainly don't sneeze at
the $6.3 million you added on to the

forced to pay you in 1862 because
there was no competing utility com
pany to which we could switch our
business.
CAS- an aside, this lack of competi-
ton so far as you are concerned has
always puzzled me. How can YOU con-
stantly pirate the virtues of 'sfree en-

SO-CALLED "RIGHT-TO-WORK'
REVIEWED

Les Green of the Hotel & Restaur-

ldent of the Wyoming AFL-CIO.
talked about what so-called fright
to-work' has meant in poorer wage
and working conditions in other
states. Shafto gave graphic descrip-
ton of the fight in the Wyoming
legislature that eliminated with a
"rlght-to-work'' law in that state.
Just as in Montana, Shafto said.
the "right-to-work'' law had been
killed four or five times in Wyoming
and many thought because of this
there was nothing to worry about.
He warned Montana labor not to be
caught in the same trap.
Il do not say there was a MEM
Der of the John Birch Society in
the legislature, but through their
influence they indoctrinated the
members of the legislature, Shafto
said.

. Remember dusk is the most
dangerous time of the day.
SUGGESTIONS for safe
bike riding:
. Do not ride bicycles on
streets with heavy auto traffic.
If you have to cross or turn
at a heavy traffic intersection,
dismount and walk the bike
across at the pedestrian cross
ing.
eff your local laws allow
riding on sidewalks, be care
full about pedestrians.
. Ride with the flow Of traf-
fic, on the right side of the
street, not against it.
Do not ride your bike on
streets after dark. If it be-
comes necessary that you &C.
casionally have to ride after
dark, be sure to have a bell
or horn, a headlight, and a
red reflector on the rear.
Do not ride double on one
bike. It makes balancing diff
ficult and prevents a clear
view of the road.
Do not perform stunts on
the street. If you want to try
daredevil tactics, such as
riding with no hands, stand
ing on the seat, or racing, do
it in a field or yard.
Learn your local laws al
fecting big bicycles. When in
doubt, obey all traffic rules
and lights.
. Keep your bicycle in good
condition. Check your tire
pressure; oil and grease the
bicycle when necessary.
. Do not ride too far too fast.

TEN, the median or middle
student was reading better
than students of previous
years.
However, as children trained
primarily in this method
reached high school and col
lege where it was necessary
for them to read new mate
rails and where they were con-
stantly confronted with new
words, the fallacies of the
system became evident.
Parents have referred to
this group of children as a

Reintroduction of diversified
approaches is having some eff

Progress is being made but
it still is not sufficient.
California voters showed
their approval of a return to
diversified approaches, includ-
ing the use Of phonetics, by
their election of DR.. Max Raj
ferty as State superintendent
of public instruction. This
was part Of his platform. The
indication is that the public,
especially parents, is serious
ly concerned that the teach
ing of reading be strengthened.

There is no longer an Or

81 am a real estate broker,
dealing primarily in homes. /
would like to do my Boy
Scout deed for the day by CIV
ing some advice to the retired
man who owns a home and
a wife :"
With this beginning, he
counted off five areas Of home
ownership where a husband
can take positive action and
thus eliminate some grave
hazards for his wife when
and if she is ever left alone
to cope with a house.
Keep the house in repair.
''This," according to the real
estate man, sis vital if the
husband wants to assure that
his widow will have a stable
home. More than any other
one thing, the need for repairs
is causing widows to lose their
homes, and hardly a month
passes that I'm not called in
to sell a place and liquidate
the problem. In part it is
the cost of the repairs, which
the widow can't afford. In
part, it is the difficulty Of
getting repairmen. But main
ly it is the absence of a man
around the house. When the
loose planks and worn wash
erS and such, that a husband
handles, are added to the
cranky furnace and the rot
ting roof, the widow becomes
so overwhelmed that she sells
the house for whatever she
can get and fees -"
Eliminate the mortgage, If
there still is one. "SOme
mortgages are running at
8 per cent interest, and
are too expensive for a mans
pension and certainly too ex-
pensive for a widows mite
if he goes. Also, it doesn't
make sense for a man to be
sitting on a big cash value
in his paid-up life insurance
policies, getting 8 per cent
interest, or boarding savings
at 4 per cent, when he's
paying 8 per cent for a
mortgage"
Make sure the home is To-
Gated in a spot where an
older woman would not be
afraid to live alone-if she
must - and where she can
manage life without a car.

homes for widows" the
broker said, because they
