AS early as the fourth cen

sung in honor of st. Basil and
his victory in the fight for
Christianity over the Byzantine
emperor Julian. In Greece,
legends of st. Basil were later
put to music and sung at

Giving gifts at the Yuletide
season has many presidents,
In the years before Christ,
Romans gave branches of lau-

about the same time as the
present date of Christmas. In
England and Northern Europe,
Druid Worshippers tied gifts on
trees during the Yule festival
held at the winter solstice.
Roman emperors often de-
manded Yule gifts of clothing,
gold and silver from their sub
jects, and so did the kings and
queens of medieval England. 1t
is said that Queen Elizabeth l
gained most of her wardrobe
through these compulsory gifts.
In later years the idea of CIV

CAREFUL HOLIDAY

Christmas tree ornaments
particularly strings of small
lights, are a potential holiday
hazard. Children will some
times chew up or even swallow
a small bulb, with obvious re-
suits. Tree lights of flimsy wiz
ing, or old strands that have
been reused for years, some
times can be fire hazards.
Glass tree ornaments often
snatter easily and sprinkle Sill
vers around the room. Handle
all ornaments and lights with
care and keep the extras and
discarded bulbs out of t h e
reach of children.

Senator Introduces
Bill for Extended
Meat Inspection

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A bill that would extend the fedora.
meat inspection program to cover all
slaughterers and meat professors en-
gagged in interstate commerce has
been introduced by Senator Maurine
B. Neuberger (D-Ore.).
At present, the law extends only
to products moving across state lines.
In a speech to the Senate, Mrs.
Neuberger said that the uninspected
sector of the meat industry has had
time to prepare itself to upgrade
and that consumers deserve
government assurance that their meat
supply is wholesome.
Some states maintain inspection
of their own, but only
few maintain standards equivalent
to federal requirements.
Mrs. Neuberger cited the "watered
ham" problem as a form of unfair
competition. 'sUninspected packers
can pump ham up to 309o of water.
Inspected packers may not" she said.

and half million students are
expected Ito drop out of high
school during the 1960s, says
the Department of Labor.
This means that there is an
increasing number of unskilled
workers going into the labor
market while the number of jobs for
the unskilled is being reduced by au-
donation, mechanization, and scien-
tific advances.
The problem of school dropouts and
it's consequences is discussed in a
28-page pamphlet "School Failures
and Dropouts'' by Edith G. Neisser.
In investigating those who drop out
and why, Miss Neisser says that "leav-

$50 Million
For Knowles

much alive because of the work
of Sen. Lee Metcalf, member
of the Public Works Commit
tee of the Senate.
Last Thursday that committee, in
giving approval to a $3.50 million riv-
er basin authorization bill, stood fast
in demanding an cary start for the
northwest Montana project. The bill
calls for an initial $50 for the $247
million development.
The bill includes three other mi
tial project authorizations, earlier re-
jected by the House. Should the
Senate approve the bill as amended
by it's Public Works Committee, it
will go to Senate-House conference
for final form before being brought

only reason for their leaving, she says
The initial failure to grasp the basic
tools of education such as reading
can pave the way to subsequent fail
ure in school subjects and eventually
dropping out.
The place to start preventing drop
outs, Miss Neisser states, is at home.
Being too hard on a child or expect
ing too much from him can often
result in the child's using the school
as a battlefield where he can show
his rebellion to the parents. Parents
should be alert to the danger signs.
Evidence that a youngster may have
problems usually can be identified
in the early grades" Miss Neisser
says.
In addition, the schools can do
something to help prevent these drop
outs, she asserts. New teaching meth
DDS are being developed to help the
child who is slow to learn or who has
difficulty with present methods.
Many communities are forming
groups that work. toward preventing
school dropouts. Miss Neisser explains
the actions that parents and citizens
can take and are taking to stem this
tide.

slstant Secretary of Agriculture Ro.
land P. Renne, Bozeman, so advised
Senator Metcalf, who had asked
whether proposed exports to those
countries would deplete Montana sup
plies.
Wrote Renne:
Payment of wheat subsidies on
exports off the west coast of hard
winter wheat to these countries will
be restricted to total sales of 1OO,-
600 long tons. Only hard winter
wheat of IL per cent or less pro-
tedn will be eligible, reserving the
higher protein winter wheat de-
sired by domestic mills to meet
such anticipated demands. Because
of even more limited supplies,
northern spring and durum wheats
are totally excluded from eligibil-
lty for subsidy payments from the
west coast on exports to these
countries.

view the stock position of these
wheats in Montana and assure you
that we shall take such additional
steps as may be necessary to pre-
vent undue depletion of domestic
