Page 2 St Ignatius POST M Millard aad G«m BaDerdtek . Edhan and PuMkben w ran *» 1 Y >»—«»« *••• V* I National editorial “‘t'' Senator Leland Schoonover The third week of the 37th session has ended and much has transpired. How much has been accomplished is difficult to say as much of the time was spent in preparing Bills. An air of urgency was prevalent due to the cutting of five days from the usual allotment for preparing Bills, so the Bill* putter-iners had to hurry. The hot “Judge” issue was settled but the UCC and the Trading Stamps are still star ing us in the face. One be comes amused at the variety of ideas expressed and the reas ons for their thinking. I sug gested that we put the State of Montana in the trading stamp business and thus pay off our famous deficit. Fortunately, no one has taken me seriously. As long as we are going to have this sales tax with us we might as well put it to a use ful purpose. It might even re lieve part of the property tax. Who knows?” One of the amusing things pertaining to the legislature is the fervor we display in try ing to get our ideas incorporat ed into the Montana Code as we are certain that they will cure all the ills of the State. I notice that bills to do away with laws are conspicuous by their absence. I have participated in an in teresting situation concerning the popular conception of fed eral control where federal monies are allocated to educa tion. This concerned the proper use of federal money allocat ed under Public Law 874, to school districts suffering from federal impact. The law pro vides the money to the school but makes no provision for its use so now we are in a dilem ma. There have been three • meetings.

The town is located hi a very beautiful, fertile, and historical spot in the lower Flathead valley. The partic ular area is known more generally as the Mission Valley, and the town itself as "The Mission” from the St. Ignatius Mission which was founded here in 1854.

I have sat through two public hear ings on the problem. All of this because Congress made avail able money but didn’t specify exactly how it vas to be sent. The other legislators and I, in our infinite wisdom (?) must make a rule as to how this money is to be used. As you knew we would, we arose to the occasion and introduced a bill so now I hope that all is in order. Most of the measures con sidered by each House so far have been the non-controver sial ones. This seems to be necessary because there might be several bills on one subject which makes it a must to know about all of them before we decide on the proper ones to push. As last evening was the deadline fnr non-revenue measures, I expect that we Brush Up On Your Dog's Health I Xi -' J Sa -'J h IMP’i r | Ji If you’ve just finished wrestling with your dog —through his bath-time-you’ll be glad to hear there’s an easier way to keep him clean’ Brush him’ c This word of advice conies from Clarence C. Fawcett, dog authority of the Purina Dog Care Center. He says that regu lar brushings are more health ful for your pet... than fre quent baths. Here's another point to con sider. When you and your dog are lathered up with soap suds ...you can hardly get a good look at the condition of his skin. And that's a factor worthy of your constant attention. Signs of ill health often show up first in the pet’s skin and coat. As you brush him, keep a watchful eye ready to detect danger signals ... ticks, para sites, broken skin, rashes, dis colorations. At the first sign of anything suspicious, visit your veteri narian. Give your pet this kind ©f health insurance ... and you prolong his life by many years! Fight the temptation to cave will now be passing many bills a day. The bill authorizing Mon tana to participate in the Col umbia Interstate Compact has been approved by the Commit tee in the Senate. We held a public hearing on the bill but no one turned up to oppose it so I guess that it must be ac ceptable. I don’t seem to find much wrong with it as it ap pears to protect the interest of the people of Montana which is the important thing. I feel that this is the most sen sible approach to solving our water problems, and our whole water resource development. This compact was compared by a joint committee from the States involved. Ex-senator Glenn Larson of Thompson Falls was the chairman of the Montana delegation. Ex-Sen ator Lloyd Wallace served on the committee at one time. I suggest that every person get this document and study it as it is, in my estimation, a very important instrument. I noticed that a Memorial was dropped mto the hopper of the House concerning the application for a license to build the Buffalo Rapids Dams. This measure has ter rific political implications. However, as I have no political ambitions to become Governor or sit in the seat of the Con gressman from the Western District, I can sit and watch the political by-plays and undertones as they develop. The budget finally arrived yourself the cost of a visit to the vet’s. “Do-it-yourself dog care’’, says Fawcett, “is not the solution ... it is likely that you know more about wring for your own health — than you do about dog care.” A balanced program of health treatments will include a regular check-up at the vet’s. The number one pet killer is distemper ... an infectious vi rus disease of young dogs. Has your dog been inoculated? The vet can immunize your dog against hepatitis, an in flammation of the liver. If nec essary, de-worming can be handled at the vet’s too. Do you know how to take care of your dog's teeth? The vet will instruct you in the saf est and quickest way to clean tartar accumulations from be tween the teeth ... and you can probably do the job yourself after that. By Reg Manning * ST. IGNATIUS POST and it looks like an oversized issue of a Sears Roebuck cata log. I can’t read it very well because it doesn’t have any pictures. (No one else seems to make much sense of it yet. I’m surely glad the House has . to decipher it first. Millo and Ray will earn their vittlea on that knotty problem.)

Tips on Touring ■hbbb By Carol Lant ™ Women's Trave/ Authority Built-In Safety? How would you like to “drive” down a highway without steering or even watching where you’re going? It could happen, according to some traffic experts, in the not-too distant future. It’s partly a matter of cost. They predict that elec tronic devices in the road and the car could take over the driving make accidents impossible. / ) J Within the next five years, some say, we’ll have all sorts of mechan ical and electronic gadgets to help a motorist make safe decisions. Already, work has progressed on developing an automatic driving system to steer a car and regulate its speed. Another safety system being worked on net only warns a driver of danger but also takes over * car’s controls if the driver fails to react to the warnings. Some of these systems employ electronic devices already being used to regulate traffic lights in tome of our major cities. Experts predict that, some day, collisions between cars will be im possible. But, until that day comes, remember that your car’s chief safety factor is you. When you 4rive, concentrate on driving. And drive with courtesy: it’s the adult, •afo attitude.
