Plans for a "Teen Youth
Center" for high school students
actively enrolled in Sidney
High School, in grades nine
through twelve, have been
completed by the Sidney jay
Gees, President Eston Sobolik
said.
The Center will be located
in the former American Legion
Building, which has been leas-
ed by Jaycees.
The saliant feature IN which
the present project differs from
other similar projects, which
have been tried here IN the
past, is that the current prof.
ect will be run by the young
sters themselves, and they will
be responsible to the Jaycees
for its operation. Amy profits
derived from such things as
teen dances, sale of candy, soft
drinks, etc., will be retained by
the youngsters to help pay op.
Grating costs. Admissions viii
be regulated by showing a stu
dent activity card.
The youngsters have drawn
up their own constitution, anc
elected a set of officers to ad
minister the Center. Presiden
is Susan Zieske; Vice President
David Lalonde; Secretary
Pauline FoSs; Asst. Sec, Rob
ert Hurd. Assisting in the or
ganizing of the plan was Ernie

NM REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON

the United States that West
Germany last March cancel
led a contract for delivery of
large size oil pipe to the Soviet
Union. There may be a diStinc-
ton between oil pipe, wheat
and other so-called strategic
materials, but certainly the
old adage that an army march
es on its stomach is still true.
And 1 have noticed few peace
full gestures recently from the
armies of Castro Cuba. Red
China or North Wet Nam.
AS a result of this transaction,
a wheat miller in Moscow will
be able to buy U. S. wheat
cheaper than a miller in Mon
tana and the Russian house
wife can purchase flour made
from US. wheat cheaper than
can a US. housewife because
of the subsidy we pay our
wheat exporters. The world
market price our export deal
ers will get for the wheat is
about so cents a bushel less
than the us. price. SO wheth-
er the President says the price
is subsidized or not, there's
a difference that has to be
made up by the us. taxpayer
The president explained his
decision as though it were q
, normal and usual thing to dc
business with the Russians, buf
it is not normal or usual tc
trade with our enemies anc
: particularly because of severa
laws still in effect. In fact i
is the declared policy of the
? Congress that supported agri

credit to Russia raises tn
question of similar credits t

NV dear friends,

OCLCDST II, 1910
Ny dear friends,
Although the President has
now approved the sale of sur
plus US. wheat to the Soviet
Union, there will continue to
be considerable controversy
over the deal. AS 1 stated in
Montana during a brief visit,
I object to the arrangement for
several reasons.
First, I believe it would be
a better idea to use our wheat
instead of dollars in our huge
foreign aid program. We're
told that hungry people are a
breeding ground for Commun-
ism so what better way can
there be to take an effective
step to alleviate misery, and at
the same time help stop the
Communist onslaught? And a
reduction in our dollar spend
ing would help prevent the
outflow of gold. If the wheat
were intended to relieve hun
ger in Russia, I have no doubt
that there would be no great
objection by the Congress and
the people generally because
the relief of hunger wherever
il may occur has been the ira
ditional policy of our country
hope and pray that the food
we sell them will never be
used against us. In fact, that is
my big objection. After Secre-
tary of Agriculture Freeman
returned from his recent tour
of the USSR, he said that Rus
sia was able to feed her own
people so it seems to follow
that she will use any purchas-
ed wheat to meet her obliga.
tiOns to her own Communis'
bloc satellites which include.
Red China, Castro Cuba anC
North Wet Nam. We could, il
fact, end up feeding the Vie
Cong who are fighting oul
troops in South Wet Nam anc

enemy we are fighting.
The same is true of our at

that only Canadian wheat vii
