DEFENSE COUNCIL
ENDS ITS WORK

NJ p. De Wolf, chairman of the
Boundary County Defense Council, re-
ceived this week the following letter
from the state secretary, JOS. Hansen,
announcing the closing of the work Of
the defense councils of the various
counties:
This is to advise you that within
the next few days the Idaho State
Council of Defense closes shop per-
manently. Further communications
relative to your work should be ad-
dressed to Governor d. w. Davis.
at is very desirable and highly es-
sential that the county and community
councils be kept intact during the
coming Victory Loan drive. The
chairman and state committee of the
Victory Loan drive will function di-
rect with the county councils of de-
Tense.
Some of the county councils have
expressed the determination to con-
tinue their organizations. This is a
question that will be left wholly to
the discretion of the county councils
and should be decided following the
completion of the Victory Loan drive.
The committees on labor, entertain
ing returning soldiers, Americaniza-
ton and such other committees as the
local conditions justify, should be
maintained.
1--WE hope that your records and such
other local war data as you get will
be carefully filed for historical pur-
poses when the Governor of the State
is ready to have the historical data
compiled and history written of the
war activities of our state.
1--WE commend you most highly, fell
low workers, for the splendid record
you have made in all war activities.
We profoundly appreciate all that you
have done, realizing that you have de-
voted literally of your time and means
in carrying on the very essential and
effective work of your county councils
OF defense. Great credit is due YOUR
various committees, solicitors, and all
who have in any way assisted in the
great work. The sinews of war have,
of course, come from the ranks of our
people. We send them greetings and
thanks.
1--WE feel that Idaho is entitled to the
highest word of commentator for the
remarkable war record she has made,
both by her soldier lads and the home
army. We have often received words
of commentator from the various de-
partments of the national council of
defense and fully realize that the praise
is due largely to the splendid work of
your county organizations. One of
the most satisfactory things that has
come is the high state of morale to
be found in our midst at the termina-
ton of the war"
