Everyone's view of summer is differ
ent depending on his responsibilities,
opportunities, and role in life. Many
mothers very probably feel it has been
long, noisy, busy and hot. But a good
many million children and dogs prob
ably find it hard to believe that three
months could have sped SO quickly and
that the school doors are about to open
nee again.
The sounds and smells and experiences
of summer vacation are still an impor-
tant part of growing up. But there have
been changes = the old swimming hole
may have become a concrete-lined chlor-
mated pool. The automobile and airplane

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Thank you for your sample
copy of the Herald. l can't
resist making a comment ON
the letter column. 1 see that
someone had the temerity to
defend the Farmers Union and
the United Nations and was
being taken to task by the
local apostle of the John
Birch Society for these hereti-
cal opinions. 1t seems to me
that if someone wants to ped
die books and pamphlets he
could take out an ad. Pm sure
the Massachusetts candy maker
who has set himself up as an
authority on almost everything
would be glad to finance an
ad. AS for the call for a de-
bate, sad to say, we are not
all expert debaters or public
speakers and there are so
many tricks such as Suppression
of facts or arguments, misStat-
ing the elements of the case,
misrepresenting the opposite
opinion, that it is no dishonor
to decline a challenge of this
sort. 1 always think of a say,
ing, I believe by Mark Twain
who said 81 never wreStle with
a pig, you just get dirty, anc
anyway, he likes it."

More Than 400 Looked to
Census Bureau for HELD

Last year, more than 400
residents of Montana turned to
the Bureau OF the Census, US.
Department of Commerce, for
help in proving where and
when they were born, the
Bureau reported today. They
needed proof of age to collect
social security and other re-
tirement benefits. They needed
it to obtain passports. They
needed it to qualify for jobs
carrying certain age or citizen
ship requirements. They need
ed it for some forms of inSur-
ance.
These persons who requested
assistance from the Census
Bureau last year were among
an estimated 20 million United
States residents who are with
out proof of age or birthplace.
The historical records of the
Census Bureau provide the
only acceptable source of this
information for many of these
people. Since its beginning in
1890, the u. S. Census has re-
corded identifying data for al
most $50 million persons, many
of them listed several times
in separate cenSuses. The Bur
eau has provided copies of
these records to about three
and one-half million people, as
legal proof of age, place of
birth, citizenship, or kinship.
Persons seeking such a rec
ord for social security pur-
poses should go to the local
Social Security Office, or, for
other purposes, write to the
Personal Census Service
Branch, Bureau of the Census,
PittSburg, Kansas, for an APP
plication form. A fee of $500
is charged for a search of not
more than two cenSuSeS for
one person and for one copy
of the information found. Ad-

Up And Down Main Street
by Cliff Urseth

There's been much said and written
about the partial nuclear test ban treaty.
And we believe that something as lmpor-
tant to our security should get a thorough
going over before we enter into any
agreement with the Russians.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk, ct al,
have been calling for a quick ratltlca-
ton of the treaty. When we think back
upon the past deeds of the Soviets and
other agreements, it certainly should be
necessary that the treaty be Scrutinized
as much as possible.
Consider that in the past % or so years,
the US has entered into 81 major agree
ments with the SovietS-of which they
have thus far broken so.
President DeGaulle of France has been
criticized heavily for not signing the
treaty. Perhaps in some instances this
criticism is justified. But DeGaulle
doesn't have that short a memory that
he's going to be hurrying to sign a test
ban pact, and thereby stop nuclear de-
velopment and put his hopes IN the
hands of the Western powers.
He certainly must be cognizant OF the
Berlin wall, the crushing of the Hun
garian people during their revolt and
last, but certainly not least, the Cuban
situation. Each time the Soviets came
out on top.
Can France afford not to test? On the
basis of performances the past few years,
we would imagine that DeGualle would
be reluctant to place his country's secur-
ity in the hands of the Western powers.

Just heard ON a T.V. News
cast that the North Dakota
Union Farmer, the official
publication of the Farmers I'm
ion in North Dakota, had sug-
geSted a grand jury inWestiga-
ton of events and procedures
leading UP to the recent refer
endum on the newly enacted
tax laws which were turned
down by the voter5 by a land
slide majority of 5 TO l. The
Farmers Union had urged a

as saying that an investigation
may show who paid who, how
much, to bring this legislation
to a vote by the people.
I thought the promoters cf
this affair were well known
to all North Dakota people,
since they appeared on tele-
vision on election night and
expressed their citation about
the outcome and had been on
radio and TV for several
weeks before the election. Blu

would have some real rough
going trying to prove that they
were bribed to do it.
The North Dakota Union
Farmer was also quoted as
suggesting that this whole af-
fair was an attempt by the
"Birchites and their fellow
travellers" to take over the
Republican party. l see no in
dication of attempted take
over by anybody, just because
the political theories of "The

Along with some other property own
ers, this writer is about as confused as
the boy who dropped his gum on the hen
house floor.
During the recent reclassification
meeting, someone asked the representa-
tive of the State Board of Equalization
if there was any court action pending be-
cause of the statewide r~eappraiSal.
He answered matter-of-factly that
there had been such a case but that it
had been dissolved without prejudice.
What he failed to mention was that
the case was dissolved, but was on the
basis of a Is per cent reduction in over
all values on the real property in the
county after the appraisal had been
taken.
Granted, each county may have differ
ent circumstances, but this information
certainly should have been included in
the answer.

Are Issue

While the Montgomery Coun-
ty School Board plays watch
dog" for architects and con-
Germs itself with land acquisi-
tons, some of the most valuable
supervisory and administrative
personnel are leaving to take
more lucrative positions.
The board learned this week
that DR.. Rufus Browning, assist
ant director of departmental
personnel had resigned his posi-
ton effective Nov. 8 and had
accepted position as assistant
superintendent of schools for
the District of Columbia in
charge of personnel and that
DR.. Robert Jackson, former area
supervisor becomes assistant
school superintendent in Haver-
hill, Mass, effective Nov. Is.
Although a concise presenta-
ton of the number of super
visory and administrative per
sonnet leaving in a given year
and their reasons is hard to
come by, according to Dr. VIII
liam A. Early, director depart
ment of personnel, he said he
would invite the board to do a
comprehensive study to find
any inequities in the system"
Board member Mrs. Lucille
Maurer called to the boards at
tention the fact that during the
past 16 months some II individ-
uals with doctors degrees had
left the school system. 1T
wasn't too long ago that Mont
gomery County led the way in
enticing qualified people. We
should now evaluate the system
on the basis of how many of
our people are leaving and we
should find out why" she said.
DR.. Early pointed out that it
is not always possible to deter
mine why an individual leaves
a position. I'm many instances
they may be under contract, but
not officially assigned to a
school,"
The administrator noted that
in many of these instances the
individuals leave before going to
their first duty post. It's pro-
blem hard to combat consider

Cancellation
Criticized

School Board President
Charles w. Bell was taken to
task this week by minority
boardmember Mrs. Lucille
M aurer for canceling the
scheduled board meeting of
Nov. A concerning prelimin-
airy teacher salary proposals
and their inclusion in the
1964-65 budget.
Bell was criticized because he
called the meeting off after a
telephone poll by him of ma
jority board members revealed
all four thought it irregular" to
discuss salaries outside the
budget discussions.
Mrs. Maurer said she wished
| to "go on record as being op.
posed to telephone calls and
private budget sessions"
Mrs. Maurer said she felt pre-
vious board had spent many
meetings discussing salaries in
advance of budget sessions,
partly because the subject was
so complex and deserving of
time other than the harried
days of budget and partly "be-
cause the budget preparation
was expedited by having such
basic decisions made as early as
possible" she said.
Bell told board members two
days prior to the scheduled
meeting that the salary pro-
posals were clear and that an
opportunity would be given
board members to raise ques-
tons at the time of the initial
presentation.
Mrs. Maurer, who was joined
in her protest by Mrs. Lucy
Kicker, another member of the
liberal minority, said Bell had
urged her to discuss Individual
ly with staff members her
questions and to make private
ly" her recommendations to
school superintendent, DR.. c.
Taylor Whittier.
1--WE could stay home and
read clear reports and vote by
telephone all the time" Mrs.
Maurer said, but she empha-
sized the board is designed as a
deliberative body and based on
the principle of group considera-
ton. She added, "the public is
deprived of essential informa-
tion," when the board brings to
the superintendent matters
which should be discussed at
public sessions.
Mrs. Kicker noted, II regret,
too, that the board majority put
off the scheduled meeting. 1t
was odd, to say the least, to
call off a meeting almost the
day before it took place. People
in the community we're interest
ed to hear how the board feels
about salaries"
