Until now, the $60 billion in gasoline, tire and truck taxes collected and spent by the trust fund since its creation in 1956 had been restricted by law to the construction of highways, along with such related road projects as beautification and safety. The issue of tapping the trust fund was so hotly contested that it prevented passage of any highway legislation in 1972. The 1973 version of the bill was tied up in conference for nearly 2Vi months, again over the issue of the trust fund.

In addition to the money made available from the trust fund, the bill also provides significant amounts of general revenue funds for mass transit. A total of $3 billion is authorized for urban mass transit grants. Dana, Tavenner and Bick families and other vatyey residents. "Many are of historical significance to the Deer Lodge Valley," said Mrs. White.

Each quilt or fragment has been researched to determine its pattern, jjate and creator. INCLUDED IN the collection is a 60-year-old "crazy quilt" made of scraps put together with embroidery.

Hearing postponed HAVRE (AP) A hearing in a suit involving the authority of the Montana High School Association has been postponed again this time until Aug. 29.

The litigation was filed in Hill County District Court by Robert D.Morrison, Havre attorney, on behalf of Gary' Grant and Grant's son, Michael, both of Havre. The Grants protest the refusal of the high school organization to certify a summer basketball camp known as the Conifer Athletic Camp, which is participating with the Grants in the suit. The camp is located near Spokane, Wash. Morrison said the show-cause hearing was originally set for July 11 in Havre but later was continued until this week. Named as defendants are the Montana High School Association, which has its office in Helena, and Hill County School Dist 16A.

Nellie Hodge dies There's no fun on the forest fireside! Time card costly to A new time card system in the Silver Bow County Courthouse will cost the taxpayers as much as $15,000 and possibly more in overtime. The time card system was instituted this week, according to Commissioner Ed DeGeorge, to comply with state law which says that public employes can't be compensated by having compensatory time off. The commissioners have allocated $15,000 for overtime expense over and above any such allocation last year. But Commissioner Lucille OLeary says she does not think the amount will be sufficient. Mrs.

OLeary said Tuesday such departments as the. sheriff's office, the ad-dressograph department, the elections personnel and the treasurer's office will require a great deal of overtime pay. Mrs. OLeary further said she is not sure the commissioners will be able to completely monitor the time cards for accuracy. Commissioner Ed Degeorge said Tuesday he believes that supervisory personnel and office holders will be able to correctly monitor the time cards.

DeGeorge also said he believes overtime will be held to emergency situations. He said the sheriffs department should not incur much overtime because men handling a case can be relieved by men on another shift. WASHINGTON (AP) -President Nixon has signed a $22. 9-billion three-year highway bill which includes funds to help cities with mass transit improvements. The signing marked the end of a lengthy legislative struggle which stretched over two sessions of Congress.

The bill, for the first time, allows highway trust fund money to be used in the second year for bus purchases and in the third year for bus and rail capi-tal investments. Nixon called the measure a significant move to ease urban congestion and said it will give states and localities flexibility in setting their own transportation priorities. Berrigan arrested WASHINGTON (AP) -Antiwar priest Daniel Berrigan and his brother Jerome were among 60 demonstrators arrested Tuesday after kneeling for prayers among a line of tourists at the White House. They were charged with unlawful entry. So far about 158 persons have been arrested since July 6 at the White House when they protested U.S.

bombing in Cambodia. A source who talked to President Nixon Tuesday said he did not believe the President was aware that the arrests were being made. Nixon spent most of the day working in the Executive Office Building across a side street from the White House. A White House spokesman said he was certain information on the arrests would be included in the President's daily news summary. All but five of those taken into custody Tuesday were arrested as they went through the tourist gate and knelt on steps leading to a White House en trance, me others were arrested in the Grand Hallway near the State Dining Room when they knelt to sing "The Lords Prayer" and read a statement.

Daniel and Jerome Berrigan along with a third brother, Philip, all have been involved in antiwar activities. About 80 demonstrators who identified themselves as members of the "White House Prayer Group" stood in the long line of tourists waiting to view the interior of the mansion. They sang, "We Shall Overcome" and other protest songs. Many tourists waiting outside in the hot sun applauded the demonstrators and a few voiced displeasure. "They have a right to protest," one elderly woman shouted.

A man whose tour was abbreviated because of the ruckus said "Damn, we came 3,000 miles and they chased us out."

Quinlan, rural Deer Lodge, was listed in "stable" condition Tuesday night after his car was involved in a three-vehicle crash near the Gen's Store, eight miles south of Deer Lodge. Quinlan was pulling onto the highway, according to David Collings, Powell County Sheriff, when his car and a pickup-trailer combination driven by R. J.

Rand, Yucaipa, collided. Collings said the impact spun the pickup into the opposite lane where it collided with a semi driven by Jack Donathan, Riverton, Wyo. Quinlan was the only one injured. Also investigating the accident was the Montana Highway Patrol.

He was named during a San Francisco meeting of the organization. WASHINGTON (AP) A Federal law requiring all 1974 model cars to be equipped with air bags or with devices that keep thft car from starting unless the seat belts are fastened goes into effect Wednesday. Government officials admit they are concerned the law will catch many new car buyers unaware. All but one manufacturer has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that they will install the interlocks rather than go with the air bag system. General Motors has stated that it plans to offer air bags as optional equipment on its most expensive 1974 models-Cadillacs, Buick Electras and Rivieras and Oldsmobile 98s and Toronados.

Interlock systems are nothing new. They have been required on all cars with automatic transmissions since 1968, to prevent the cars from starting while in forward or reverse. The NHTSA decided to require the systems on seat be-lots after years of promotional efforts resulted in less than 20 per cent of all travelers wearing seat belts. "As a result," the agency said, "each year more than people die in highway crashes which would not have been fatal if these victims had been wearing safety belts." It called interlocks "the strongest kind of persuasion" and said they may save many lives and a portion of the $35 billion wasted in highway deaths and injuries each year. The new system costs less than $50, the agency said, and are much more sophisticated than the current warning fla shers and buzzers.

Weight sensing devices located under the front seat will activate a niini-computer once the driver or rider sits down. If both the driver and rider fasten their belts, the car will start. If they do not-or, if the process of sitting, buckling up and turning on the ignition key is done out of sequence the car will not start. Thus, the driver who foiled the current system by per manently locking his belts be hind him will find his car will not start unless he unbuckles the belt, sits own and rebuckles it.

Rocker tax value checked The county commissioners are investigating why the taxable valuation of Rocker has dropped from $158,000 to $103,000. The valuation drop was noticed this week as final county budgets were being prepared. The commissioners Tuesday conferred with Jack Wulf, former chief of the reclassification department and Wulf said that the Rocker valuation should have risen, not dropped.

Tuesday Commissioner Lucille OLeary said the commissioners are attempting to call state officials to determine if either railroad or Anaconda Co. Property might have been left off the tax rolls.
