impress upon them that superior accom-
plishment would ease their path into the
business world. Still another was to
stress the excellent facilities of the local
high school, and to improve those facil-
tiles with contributions of discarded ma
terial, equipment and tools from indus
try. The primary goal was to see to it
that the student would have the founda-
ton needed to assure him of an interest
ing and worthwhile job.
Industry has responded enthusiastical-
ly- more than million dollars worth
of equipment has been contributed. While
the program places emphasis on the ma
chine shop, courses are available in other
fields = architecture, drafting, graphic
arts, and so on. Plans are underway for
expansion into the mechanical and cleo
tronic areas. Whatever the particular
course, students enjoy it = simply be-
cause they see how the subjects taught
have real meaning and purposefulness
Superior performance receives recogni-
ton at an annual banquet when awards
are presented and thus a spirit of COM
petition among the learners is maintain
ed.
The proof of the pudding, of course,
is IN the eating. 30, as a practical mat
ter, it's fair to ask just how well the
plan has worked. The answer is reas-
suring = accomplishment records of the
young people have been excellent And
requests from industry for graduates
have actually exceeded the number grad
uating.
Bedford, in sum, faced up to the drop
out problem years ago and tackled it
without waiting for the state or federal
government or any other agency or in
Stitution to do the needed job for it. The
result, it seems, has been maximum re-
suit at minimum cost. Other commun-
tiles, one can safely say, could profitably
take leaf from Bedford's book.

individual rights and sponsibilities. The
Individual human being looms very large
in his esteem. He doesn't think of peo-
pie as statistics.
But the fact that the Senator now
seems well ahead of any other Repubi-
can hopeful does not mean that this con-
dition will obtain next summer, when
the convention is held. A great deal of
water can go under the bridge between
now and then. Some Goldwater sup
porters feel that the drive to nominate
him may have started too early - that
it may run out of steam at the crucial
time. In any event, a real fight looms.
The anti-Goldwater forces are now gath
ering, in large part at least, behind Gov
ernor Rockefeller. The Governor, like
the Senator, is not formally a candidate.
But few doubt that he will make run
for the prize And, like the Senator, the
Governor has been clarifying his ideas
on the big issues in speeches and inter
views. His purpose is to avoid labels,
either liberal or conservative, and to
make it clear that his views aren't just
Republican version of the present Ad-
ministration's. He has strongly en-
phasized his faith in private enterprise,
in maintaining vigorous and responsible
local government, in holding federal
spending to the present level, and so on.
Actually; there are good many impor-
tant areas in which he and Goldwater
see pretty much eye to eye. But there
are others where the differences are
great, and it is this that will be stressed
in the months ahead.
Meanwhile, there seems to have been
an upsurge in COP optimism so far as
'64 is concerned There is a feeling that
Mr.. Kennedy can be beaten; that he has
lacked decisiveneSS and effectiveness,
and that the electorate has been disap-
pointed in him. Next years election will
show whether that feeling is right or
wrong.

ficials, just about everyone who has an

ING age President Kennedy has spoken
of it, and proposed that a special study
be made. 1t is a problem which is most
acute in the major population centers,
where reports say that dropouts average
an astonishing and onainous 70 per cent,
but it is certainly not confined to them.
The smaller communities and the rural
areas are faced with it too.
There have always been substantial
numbers of young people who falled 10

the problem is not new But, IN SIM
pier age, those with very linn ted educa-
tions had far more opportunity to find
iobs and earn at least marginal living.
Nowadays young people who leave school
before gaining special skills too ire
ouently become not only unemployed,
but unemployable They, with wives and
children. drift onto the relief and public
welfare rolls.
Various solutions to the problem are
being tried or proposed. They ral 1ge
wide gamut, from outright pleas to Dung
people to complete their high school ed
ucation to demands that the government
step in and do something drastic about it.
And various localities, to their honor, are
taking positive steps on their own hook.

Who'll Get The Prize

If the Republican presidential nomin-
ating convention were to be held tomor-
row, Senator Barry Goldwater of Ari-
zona would be the party's candidate
against President John F. Kennedy a
year from next November.
That is the view of the great majority
of political writers and pundits, whether
or not they happen to personally agree
with the Goldwater philosophy. And it
is backed up by public opinion polls with
excellent past performance records. In
these polls, the Senator is significantly
ahead of other possible candidates.
The Goldwater boom has been dra-
matte one Numbers of his followers
are imbued with almost Messiah-ike
zeal. Goldwater clubs have sprung up
throughout the country Goldwater
stickers and buttons are seen in growing
numbers. He seems to have particu-
larly strong following among the young
er Republicans, which is very great
asset indeed. And this has happened
even though he is not a formally an
nounced candidate Tor anything except
his Senate seat. He has taken it in stride
with modesty and good humor.
Senator Goldwater is conservative,
who has small use for most of the ideas
of the liberal wing either in or out of his
party. Yet he is a strong party man,
who had charge of the campaign to elect
Republican senators in '62 and labored
Loyalty for all concerned, including some
with whom he is in profound disagree

length, particularly of late, to disassociate
himself from the extreme conservative
right wing. He has modified some of his
positions = taxation, certain government
welfare activities, and other controver-
sizes But he is the tireless and eloquent
enemy of policies which, in his view,
threaten to create central government

A Commentary

The action of the Senate in approving
the treaty banning nuclear tests IN the
atmosphere was, in its way, a grimly
vivid commentary on the world we live
in
The favorable vote, 80 to 19, was much
larger that the required two-thirds ma
jority. But there was little exultation,
little feeling that really long step to-
ward world peace had been taken. 1t
is fair to say that most of those voting
for the treaty, Democrats and Repubi-
cans alike, did so with reservations. And
the President, in his eloquent message
urging approval, made it clear that no
millennium is to be expected.
Why, then, was this treaty approved,
and without amendment? The answers
are several. World opinion of peoples

same as it has been the past few times,
then Sidney won't be having fall pro-
motion. That's the word that's been
put out.
If this happens, it's sad state of af-
fairs. It's an absolute must that each
merchant take off enough time to pro-
mote his town for his own benefit and for
the benefit of those he serves. The Gus
toners are as dependent upon the mer-
chant for city-wide promotions as the
merchant is for their presence in his or
her store. And it shouldn't be left up
to handful to see that this is done
We hope to see a good turnout at the
approaching meeting.
The word is out that new business
will be moving into Sidney in the not
too distant future. We heard last week
that a radio and tv shop would be added
to Sidney's main street There'll be more
on that when we get the official an
nouncement.

ers would forget about the World Series

The Kiwanis apple sale is now in full
swing. I'd like to put in a plug for the
KiwaniS club and this worthwhile pro-
ject. The apples are of the delicious var
iety and are selling for $3.75 for a large
box. All of the money realized by the
sale OF the apples stays in the community
for charitable work and there have been
some fine accomplishments in the past as
a result of the apple sales.
If you think you'd like to help out and

everywhere was certainly an element.
So was the feeling that any measure of
control over nuclear weapons is much
better than none. An overriding consid-
Grafton was that the admitted risks in
the agreement will prove to be outweigh
ed by possible gains. And, finally, a
question of U. S. world prestige and
leadership was at stake.
Beyond all this, the fact remains that
the Soviets have violated solemn treat
les directly or by subterfuge. 1t is this
that must be watched with infinite care
in the present case, and the President
has promised that it will be done We,
along with more than 100 other nations,
now have the treaty and the hopes that
go with it. Will they be fulfilled?

gatory remarks about Cover

the Glendive dedication cere-
monies. He said the Governor
took credit for promoting the
cause of education in Montana

Mr. Scarr is entitled to his
opinion of our Governor. How
ever, in his position as super

poor judgement and bad taste

Babcock.
