REMEW GRID WAR
Butte, Mont., Dec. 22 (U.R)
Montana State University and
the State College will renew
their pre-war gridiron classic in
Butte Oct. 19, 1946, Chairman
Joe L. Markham of the Butte
Chamber of Commerce Athletic
committee announced today.
The announcement followed a
canference with Presidents
James A. McCain of the uni
versity and R. R. Renne of the
colelge.
The annual game, which in
pre-war days attracted thousands
of Montanans to the mining city,
was last played in 1941 when
the Grizzlies, sparked by Full
back Eso Naranche, former Butte
high school star, defeated the
Bobcats, 23-13.
The 1946 game will be played
in Naranche Memorial Stadium,
named in honor of Naranche,
who was killed in the North
African campaign.
A wonderful bird is the pelican
There is a well-known little verse about the
pelican and his gift for gobbling up more than
he can swallow.
A parallel is the UAW'-CIO demand for higher
wages Jrom General Motors,
For General Motors' wages are already high.
; fact, in the last peacetime year, the income of
the average CM worker jell in the top third of
all incomes in the United States.
Vl'e believe in high wages! Rut we also believe
that when wages are already high, the question
arises whether further cost reductions that
management can bring about mny not well be
used to lower prices or improve products.
Lowering prices or improving products benefits
everybody. Customers get more for their money.
The company's business grows. And the growing
business is able to employ more and more people.
Wider employment serves the national welfare
and should be a primary objective of all of us.
Unfortunately, many people are too apt to place
their own interests above the national welfare.
