more insidious danger presents itself
by the contamination of the entire
Little Blackfoot drainage by deadly
fluorine. Fluorine sits out of the air
onto the vegetation causing leaf and
needle damage and as the forage is
consumed by domestic and wild ami
mails, forms a source of toxic intake

The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1963-10-25

During the first five years
of operation of the National
Defense Education Act of 1868,
more than four million dollars
went into education in Mon
tana, according to a recent re-
port prepared by Jerry Cate,
Miles City, a political science
internee in the office of Sen. Lee
Metcalf.
Altogether, Cate reports, NDEA has
funneled some $500 million into the
strengthening of American education
at all levels and to augment the ma
tons supply of trained manpower.
The act authorizes federal assist
ance for student loans and graduate
fellowships, for technical education,
for the expansion of guidance, coun-
selling, and testing of students, for
the strengthening of education in
science, mathematics, and modern
foreign languages, for the improve
ment of communications for
educational purpos es, and for
strengthening educational statistical
services.
Enacted originally for a four-year
period, the NDEA was extended by
the Congress last year for an addi-
tional two years.

Montana laws, Mansfield said, 'In

for slumped shoulders to wrist bands

because they do not receive enough

STARVED BUDGET HAMPERS
HEALTH BOARDS WORK
At the present time the Board of
Health can be little more than spot
check watch dog on the sanitary
standards of the food being pro-
cessed in Montana because of the
limitations in time caused by short
money.
Through their stalwart sanitarians,
efforts are being made to see that
butcher shops and bakeries at least
have a place for employees to wash
their hands. One shop was closed be-
cause it did not even have running
water in it. The owner objected that
installing sink was too much to
expect because after all most of his
customers were Indians anyway.
Most of the butchers have been
persuaded to abandon the use of saw
dust, which was raked occasionally,
in favor of bare floors except for
those modern new Safeway Stores.
They use a specially treated sawdust
to prevent the butchers from slipping
if they step on a greasy scrap. That
same greasy scrap may act as a
source Of contamination for the en-
tire meat production of the shop. |
What is it doing on the floor in the
first place? If Safeway would get rid |
If the sawdust their counters might |
even smell better.

understanding that it is not so

anything to do with the values you
get when purchasing food, it be-

NAACP Attacks
Bill Introduced
In MINI. House
(See Editorial: Lets Demand
Explanation OF This")

T--~----N-~--
The Minnesota Dakota State
Conference, NAACP, today took
exception to a bill introduced in
the Minnesota Legislature which
contains a discriminatory clause.
House File No. 483, a bill intro
duced by Douglas Head, Repre-
sentative from Minneapolis, relat-
ing to elections; providing for vot-
ing by new residents in President
ial elections, and providing penalt-
les for violation.
The clause objected to by the
NAACP is Section 8, stated Donald
Lewis, Conference President, which
reads: upon receipt of an applica-
ton, the county auditor shall Inn
mediately forward to the appH-
cant's election clerk, or equivalent
official, Of his former residence q
request for proof that the said ap-
plIcant was a qualified voter in
the said state Immediately prior
to his removal to Minnesota, or
that he would have been qualified
to vote for President and Vice
President or Presidential electors,
had he remained a legal Presi-
dent of such state and complied
with said states legal requirements
for voting. Said request shall in
cIude form of certificate of proof.
The forms of request for proof
and certificate of proof, sent to the
official of the applicants former
residence, shall be prepared by the
Secretary of State"
The clause could create long de-
lays in providing proof of a Negro
applicant who happened to move to
Minnesota from some of our
Southern States, stated Lewis, 1
hope that the House Committee on
Elections & Reapportionment will
delete this clause.

that the Negroes should file fol-
