No Vote Is a Vote Against
It is of extreme importance that eligible voters who
would like to see adequate hospital facilities in Big Horn
county go to the polls June 5 and so signify. An apathet
ic attitude on the part of only a few voters could mean
defeat for the project.
It is necessary that at least 40 per cent of those elig
ible to vote on the special bond issue cast ballots in order
to legalize the issue. And, of course a majority of those
voting must favor the issue in order for it to pass. Those
who favor the project and fail to vote, therefore, may be
voting against the issue by not going to the polls. If
everybody voting favored the project and less than 40
per ceijt of the eligible registered voters cast ballots, the
issue, of course, would fail.
The special election, to be held at the same time and
same polling places as the Primary election in Big Horn
county, Tuesday, June 5. is for the purpose of submit
ting to the registered taxpaying electors of the county
the question of issuing bonds in the amount of $125,000
to construct an addition to the present hospital in Har
din, which would then be operated as a county hospital.
One of the most important factors contributing to
the well being of Big Horn county —or any commun
ity—is whether or not there are adequate hospital facil
ities. The hospital at Hardin, although well managed,
just isn’t adequate in size and equipment to accommo
date the population of the community. Often it is nec
essary to use the hospital office for patients’ beds. The
operating room also has to be utilized for other purposes
at certain times when the hospital is overcrowded.
There is nd question that more adequate facilities
are badly needed. Neither is there any question that the
bond issue would be sufficient to supply facilities for
many years to come. The plan and estimate of cost were
prepared by an expert in the field. It is a sound plan at
a cost much less than would be possible if a complete,
new hospital unit were to be constructed.
Should the bond issue fail to pass, growth and de
velopment of the community would continue to be ham
pered for perhaps years to come.
Eligible voters should give serious consideration to
the question, and by all means, should ballot on the ques
tion June 5.

An Age of Change
“Pigs Is Pigs” became an immortal American phrase
long ago, with the publication of the enormously suc
cessful little story of that title. And it would seem only
reasonable to most of us that the pig. or any other kind
of livestock, will never change much if at all.
However, we live in an age of irresistible change—
and meat and meat animals aren’t immune.
A short time ago, at Washington State College,
scientists from the meat industry and from educational
institutions told of new developments in the production
and marketing of meats which may effect peaceful and
beneficial revolutions in the future. The director of lab
oratories for one of the leading packers showed a jar of
raw meat that had been kept at room temperature since
1948. It was perfectly fresh still —exposure to a radio
active material had killed the bacteria and prevented
spoilage. He also forecast that in time we 11 be able to
buy canned raw meat, sterile, unpastuerized milk and
shell eggs that will keep indefinitely.
Another forecast was that cattlemen will be able to
pick at birth the animals which will produce beef most
quickly and cheaply. Still another dealt with new animal
diets which produce remarkable weight gains at low cost.
Actually, of course, the quality of meat animals and
the meat that comes‘from them has been steadily im
proved over a period of many years. And it looks as if
we are on the verge of astonishing further progress.

You’re Working for the Government
The best way to judge the scope of the tax burden
is by how much of your working time goes to pay for it.
In 1929, one day’s labor out of 10 went to support
the government, according to the National Association
of Manufacturers. Now the average is one day in four.
What will the figure be 15 years or so from now?

Encouraging news for sugar beet
growers, as well as livestock pro
ducers is coming from the re
search laboratories. Through a sort
of chemical marriage between fat
and sugar, scientists have developed
a group of sugar detergents which
may greatly increase the commer
cial demand for these products In
the future.
These new detergents and emul
sifying agents have a number of
characteristics which make them
superior to those now in general
use. And they cost much less than
other products of their type.
They are colorless, odorless, taste
less, non-toxic, non-irr;tating. edible
and nutritious. They can be used
by themselves for many purposes
and can also be used in the manu
fasture of many other commercial
products for which there is a wide
demand. These sugar detergents,
according to preliminary tests, are
superior to many other detergents
that are now used for cleaning and
washing. Added to ordinary soap
they improve its efficiency for
washing clothes and other mater
ials. even in hard water.
The fact that they are tasteless
suggests that they can be used very
effectively for manufacturing tooth
paste to replace the bad tasting
cleansing agents now being used.
Mosttoothpastes now are highly
flavored to hide the unpleasant
taste of the detergent or soap which
is their chief ingredient.
Petroleum companies are now
testing these sugar detergents for
secondary oil recovery.
“After an oil well stops flowing
as much as two-thirds of the oil
may still be in the ground,” ex
plains Dr. H. B. Hass of Sugar Re
search Foundation, Inc. “This re
maining oil can be washed off the
rocks and from the ground. But
only a non-ionic detergent will pen
etrate sufficiently into rock and
sand to be effective. And this is
the first low cost non-ionic deter
gent anyone has come up with.”

There is no use to kid ourselves.
As Montanans, we are going to have
to Increase our support considerably
in the years ahead of our Greater
University system.
Enrollment is growing very rapid
ly. and will continue to do so for
many years to come.
When speaking in Glendive a
while back. Dr. R. R. Renne, pres
ident of Montana State College,
stated the case clearly when he
said.
"A crisis in Montana higher ed
ucation has arisen because of the
tremendous increase in enrollments
that have occured during the past
two years. For example, at Montana

State College, there has been an
increase of 900 students in two
years—approximately 40 per cent.
"For the University system as a
whole (Montana State University
at Missoula, Montana State College
at Bozeman, Montana School of
Mines at Butte, Western Montana
College at Dillon, Northern Mon
tana College at Havre, and Eastern
Montana College at Billings, fall
enrollment this year was 7,394. com
pared with 6,208 in the fall of 1954,
or an increase of approximately 20
per cent. Next fall, predicted en
rollment is. 8.532, or an increase
of 15.4 per cent. This is the largest
enrollment on record of state sup
ported students in the University
system.”
What about the next decade, and
beyond?
Dr. Renne said this:
"The present increase in enroll
ment is serious enough. For ex
ample, in the fall of 1956, it is esti
mated there will be 9.600 students:
in the fall of 1960. 12,400: in the
fall of 1965, 15,360: and in the fall
of 1970, approximately 21,000. or
approximately triple the present
number.
Going into costs. Dr. Renne con
tinued:
“The operating budget for the
University system (all six units)
this current fiscal year is s6'i mil
lion. It is estimated that by 1970,
the budget required to operate on
a satisfactory level would be in the
neighborhood of $22 million or
more.”
More could be said. But the fig
ures here given are overwhelming,
and make plainly evident the pro
blems that are ahead.
Our state is developing rapidly,
and with this will of course come
sharp gain in total property values,
which will automatically increase
considerably.

YOUTH COUNCIL
Comer
By Roger Shaw
Some weeks ago Mrs. Carolyn
Riebeth of the high school English
department, together with her stu
dents and myself, did a series of
studies on the problems, activities
and desires of the young people of
our community.
One part of this resulted in a
questionnaire which was prepared
by the junior class to get the actual
statistics on how liesure time is
spent, what the high schoolers’ in
terests are, and what activities he
participates in. I will try to pub
lish this next week.
Another part was having each
one write down and turn in, with
out his name, his own particular
gripe, problem or Interest. Today I
would like you to look at one of
these with me.
"If you would like to be a police
woman, how would you go about It? I
mean where would you have to go
to college, etc.?
Why don't we start something
for the young girls of Hardin, so
we can have something to do be
sides run around at night?
What can you do to make your
parents see that at the age of 16
you are not too young to go out on
datets?”
I talked to Mr. Greenfield from
the police department about the
first part of the question and he
said that college was not really nec
essary but rather after applying and
being accepted to train in a cer
tain city department you would be
especially trained under the depart
ment heads of that city. You would
be paid a partial salary. Under
some department systems you would
take a certain amount of schooling
provided by them, under others you
would get your training on actual
cases right away.
As far as things to do for girls
I suppose there is a real lack, but
doing something about it would be
much better done by you than by
me. Let me explain: there are
enough interested people in town to
help start almost anything that
would be good, but most of them
have found out it. doesn’t pay to
start something unless they are sure
the kids really want it.
If you will get together a group
who are interested enough to work
for something a little bit and come
and see me or someone else who is
interested we will do our best to see
that you have it. Let me also point
out that this summer there will be
swimming as usual, tennis under
floodlights). square dancing if there
is enough interest and perhaps
other activities in the evening if you
so desire.
As to the last part of the question
I think the best wry that you can
show your parents that you are not
too young to go out on dates is by
lags behind growth and in itself will
fall far short of providing the
money when and as needed.
When the Montana legislature
meets in January 1957. this will be
one of the big problems confront
ing our senators and representatives
from all sections of the state.
