Home D emonstration A g e n t’ß N e w s s V i e w s Good morning, every guess it’s only natural for all of us to have lots to tell when we get home from a trip, and I’m no different. As most of you prob ably know, Mr. Mikkelson and I were in Bozeman for the 36th an nual extension conference which was held from the 4th to the 16th. There were five full days of meet ings, so I couldn’t begin to tell you all about it. However, there are a few things I’ll mention. The theme of the conference was “An Expanding Extension Program,” and it’s hard to believe just how much it has expanded through the years. You’ve all heard the saying about not being able to see the forest for the trees. That really seems to fit us here in Beaverhead county. Those of you working with the extension , program, whether in 4-H, home demonstration clubs, or as farm cooperators are probably like we were. We get so involved with our phase of the program in the county that we don't stop and take stock of the over-all prog ress. Director of extension, R. B. Tootell, and Bessie E. McClelland, state home demonstration leader, pointed out that the program is actually expanding in two ways. Not only in the number of people participating, but the program covers a lot more territory as well. Within the past year and a half, we have acquired the serv ices of a family life specialist and - also a second person on the home management staff, to meet the expanding needs. Those of you who have watched extension grow, could probably tell us lots about how we are covering many At the close of 1950 there were more fields than in the beginning, some 560 home demonstration clubs with over 10,000 members enrolled. Almost half the counties in the state, 26 to be exact, employ a home demonstration agent—20 additional counties have a home demonstration program carried on by. the agricultural agent through help of local leaders. In reviewing the history of Montana home demonstration club work, Miss McClelland pointed out that steady progress was made up until World War II. At that time, many of the county offices were closed because of the agricultural agents being called to service? In addition, many of the club women found it neces sary to help with field work as well as finding it difficult to get to meetings because of the scar city of tires and gasoline. How ever, since 1945, the low year, we have steadily grown in num bers as well as adding to the pro gram. One of the good signs is the formation of the state home demonstration council. As many of you know, Mrs. Robert Wright of Dillon and Mrs. Dan Pender- gast of Melrose are our represen tatives. In talking with us about her experiences in Bavaria, where she spent three months to ex change ideas in the field of home economics and youth groups,, Gerry Fenn, assistant state 4-H club leader, pointed out several things. First, she said that not until her experience over there, did she appreciate many of the things that we, as Americans take for granted. Our land grant col lege system was the first thing she mentioned. Here, we get the benefit of the state college teach ing staff, research department, and extension service working to gether in a give and take propo sition. In Germany, the benefits of research are not made readily available to colleges and exten sion service. There, a research worker often has to sell his in formation to magazines, newspa pers, radio programs in order to make a living rather than making it direct to the people through the college and extension service. Another thing she mentioned was home economics. At a meet ing of 600 university women rep resenting 30 countries, they were discussing the food problems of ARMSTEAD MRS. A. G.

Mrs. Lee Martinell of Dell was a caller Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bastian. There was a meeting of Arm stead citizens at the school house on Friday night to organize a fire department. Bill Backus was ap pointed as head of the fund rais ing committee.

Walter Bastian brought in a truck load of horses for Herman Peterson Sunday. He also hauled cattle to Divide Saturday for Fred Nelson of the Big Hole. Mrs. Earl Meyers of Idaho Falls spent the week end visiting her parents and brother, Mr. and Mrs. Eldo Stroud and Bob.

Western states have had substantial population gains in the past ten years. The average growth in the seven states we serve has been about 24%. But the number of telephones has more than doubled in most communities. That means more people you can call—more who can reach you. Bringing a telephone into the world involves a lot more than just delivering it. It has to be con nected with all other telephones in the com munity, and that takes more wires, poles, cables, switchboards and other equipment. Moreover, as telephones are added, the job becomes more complex an<4 costs (particularly at today’s high prices) go up. V We've spent $162 million since the end of World War II to meet service requirements in the seven states. Large additional amounts of new capital will he needed for continued expansion and im provement of service. There is only one source of money for such expansion: It must come from people with savings to invest. And they will do so only if our earnings compare favorably with those of other businesses.

Having met for 30 years, this was the first time food had been discussed. Some of the delegates were amazed that in *the U. S. we offer home econom ics training on a university level. She said she discovered that home economics, as we know it, exists only in the U. S., Canada, Sweden and Belgium. Ray. Johnson, range specialist gave us some information about food and people, I’d like to pass on. It certainly jolted us out of our complacency. Just because we have plenty of food, we sel dom stop to think of the food sit uation in the whole world. He said that half of the people in the world are hungry. One-third are eating two-thuds of the world’s food. That’s something to think about, isn’t it? We in the U. S. are among the one-third of the population using two-thirds of the world's food supply. We’ll be hearing more about this later, but these figures were so star tling, I wanted to mention them. Mary Loughead, nutritiion spe cialist, reported that there are no serious shortages predicted in food supplies for the near fu ture. However, if the world sit- [ uation gets worse, there will probably be need for home home gardening and home preservation of foods. Mae Farris, home management specialist, reported that Montana incomes rank among the top ten states in the nation and that many families are putting a share of their income into home improve ment. She said, too, that in gen eral we need to take more care in the selection of equipment and take better care of what we have. Lora Hilyard, clothing special ist, stated that the clothing situ ation forecast is for tight sup plies and high prices, especially for woolen and cotton materials. She says that the production of synthetics is better than at the beginning of World War II. There are several new synthetics that may be used alone or in blends with natural fibers to reduce cost of clothing. Among the things Amy World, family life specialist, reported from the White House Confer ence on Children and Youth she recently attended were some facts about schools. Montana rates high among the states whose chil dren complete their high school education. At present, people are completing an average of 12 years of school. In 1900, people had completed an average of only eight grades. The number of chil dren and youth in schools is greater than ever. However, there are still far too many chil dren of school age not in schools. The largest age group of children are those under five years old. As time goes on, this large num ber of children will mean the need for added school facilities to take care of them. Those of us who attended one-room schools will be interested in this figure. Today the percentage of one-room schools has been reduced to 41 per cent from 1900’s 81 oer cent. Eric Wilson, rural engineering specialist, talked on the housing situation. As with most things these days, he felt that we’ll just have to wait and see the outcome of the world situation before making predictions on the avail ability of materials and labor for building. He did remind us, how ever that he and the other ex tension specialists concerned with housing, were ready to help any one with their housing problems. So may I, in turn, tell you folks who are planning to build or re model, that the extension service will be most happy to help you with any problems or questions you might have. If Mr. Mikkel son (county agent) and I can an swer your questions we will; and if we need further help, the spe cialists will be glad to assist. They did offer one suggestion— that is, allow them a reasonable length of time to go over the plans. So if you’re thinking of remodeling or building, remem ber we are ready to help as we can. These are but a few of the things we discussed, but I'll be talking about them further and telling you of other material cov eted there, from time to time. to iurnish fcQ orchestra for a por- which w“rie _Tom CantrcJa and- Mis.

Mr. Scott has been seriously ill for several weeks ^ The ruling that Montana’s $22,- 000,000 veterans honorarium is constitutional w ill be appealed to the state supreme court. Lloyd Skedd, attorney for a cigarette smoker who attempted to stop the state from issuing *15 . 000,000 worth of bonus bonds, filed notice of appeal in Lewis and Clark county district court. The test case to determine the legality of the bonus was taken into the lower court of Lewis and Clark county by Frederick Wil- ford, Spanish war veteran. Wil- ford wants to stop the state board of examiners fcpm issuing the bonds on grounds that the honor arium is unconstitutional. A previous bonus measure for World War I veterans was de clared illegal in 1923. ^ District Judge A. J. Horsky ruled the World War II measure was constitutional “in every par ticular.” The honorarium is to be paid for by an additional two-cent tax on cigarettes, which is already in effect.

First Term of Supreme Court In the summer of 1865 the first term of the Supreme Court was held at Virginia City, which had been made the capital of he territory by the Bannack legislature. This court was composed of the chief justice and two asso ciate justices appointed by the President to serve various dis tricts of the territory. The court reviewed cases which had been tried by the respective justices in the several districts. This was changed in 1886 when Congress decided no justice should sit in a case brought up from the district court over which he presided. The. first question presented to the court arose upon a peti tion for a writ of mandate to try the right of office of one of the county officers of Edgerton (Lewis and Clark) county. There is no record of the proceedings of the case. Records available start with the December term of 1868. The first chief justice of Montana was H. L. Hosmer, ap pointed in June, 1864. Two associates named were L. P. Willis- ton and Ammi Giddings. Giddings declined to serve and L. E. Munson was commissioned to take his place in March, 1865. The chief justice reached Virginia city in October, 1864. Justice Williston arriving about the same time in the territory took up residence at Bannack and held court there. The terri tory was then five months old. Justice Munson came following his appointment and opened court in Helena in August, 1865.
