Takes Steps To
Guardp Pupils Health

tRepOrted for the Tamarack)
For some time the school has been
fortunate to be free from the ordin-
ary contagious children's diseases.
These epidemics are bound to appear,
however, as younger children enter
school and right now we are at the
beginning of siege of measles and
perhaps mumps. The neighboring
towns report measles and several
cases have developed in Libby. Some
parents feel that their children will
be forced to meet such disease at some
time in their lives and that the SOON
er the matter is over the better.
Others recognize in measles particu-
larly, one Of the most serious of the
ordinary epidemics in its possibility
Of further complications and so to
assume their full responsibility and
to protect all children, the school will
attempt to keep all roooms free from
contagion at all times. To do this
each child that is absent for three
days or more will be asked to submit
a doctors certificate showing that
the child as well as his brothers and
sisters should be allowed school PRIV
ileges, Blanks for this purpose will
be provided. Parents are asked to
kindly assist in this matter by in
forming the school as soon as ease
OF "a contagious nature appears in
the home.

Mine Exhibit
AttraCtSMuCh
Attention
Was Always Surrounded by
Interested Crowds at
Spokane Convention.
WAS ONE OF THE
BEST DISPLAYS
By ]. w. BARRETT

Editor Western News:
You asked for report of the Lib
by delegation to the Northwest Min
ing Congress at Spokane, so here
goes:
The writer and Mrs. Barrett drove
to Spokane Saturday. September 28,
and upon our arrival found County
Commissioner Brink on the job with
the Libby district exhibit. He had
arranged for a space on one of the
center tables and was having his
hands full trying to hold this space
from British Columbia exhibitors and
others who thought they were en-
titled to 1t. However, the location was
hAld and proved to be one of the
most desirable locations in the build
ing.
BY Monday morning the exhibits
were all in place and the show opened
The Libby exhibit had specimens
from rs mines and locations in the
district and while it was not the big
4est group in the show it created
more interest than any other exhibit
there. 1t was located on one end of
center table with big sign "Ore
from the Libby, Mont, District" at the
head OF samples and showing big
sack OF Zonolite in mill run size from
which samples were given everyone
who wished for them. Zonolite also
showed the product ground to the diff
ferent meshes and also the raw ore.
The VermiculNe & Asbestos company
also had some nice samples Of raw
ore. The Snowshoe mountain was rep
resented by ore from every vein in
the hill. The SnoWshoe, st Paul, Sill
yer Tip, Walker group, Tressy group
and Seattle group. The Granite
creek country was represented by The
Glacier Silver-Lead, the Double Mack
and the Miller Brink claims. The West
Fisk,sr country Was we'll represented
by the Golden West Mining CO., The
Midas and the Bohemier and Bolyard
property. This district caused one of
the sensations Of the show. The Gold
en- West had about 200 pounds of ore
there with the gold sticking out so
that the visitors could see It and any
doubling Thomas was given his choice
of piece Of ore SO he could take it
to the assay office and find out for
himself if the claims were true.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bolyard were present
at the show and Harry put his Lib
by creek placer gold on exhibition.
This was shown in little glass case
and there was so much Of it that it
was hard to make people believe that
they were looking at real gold and
that there was 50 much gold in the
world. This created lot of interest
and was enjoyed immensely
County Attorney William Herbert
was on the job with relief map of
the Libby district which he had made
with clay from the Libby hills. This
map was injured slightly in shipping
but he patched it up and the eff
cheney was not in any way impaired.
Thousands of people stopped to look
at this map and have the contour and
location of different mines and streams

Whitefish recovered and took the ball

Whitefish recovered and took the bal
down the field for a score, within 8
very few plays. This massacre con-
tinued for the remainder of the first
half, Whitefish scoring 40 points. The
second half found determined fight
ing aggregation from Libby, and soon
the game was being played in mid
field continually. Neither team was
making much yardage.
Practically the entire team played
good football the second half and de-
serve compliments for their fine work.
They showed fight that never before
has been characteristic Of a Libby
football team. That is to come back
and fight harder and play better
football the second half than they did
the first part Of the game.
4 Our nsxt game is on the home field
against q team that has q very good
record this season. That is Bonners
Ferry. They defeated Standpoint last
week by the score of 60. Some game
and we are all out to defeat them at
the athletic field Saturday afternoon.

CONGRESSMAN X. G. HOUSTON
STIRS SUBCOMMITTEE
Reviews Situations and Tells What
it Means to Tomato Growers of
Delaware and Eastern Shore

Senator John G. Houston, Sen
ator Daniel 0. Hastings and Con
gresham Robert G. Houston ap-
peared Monday before the sub-com-
mittee Of the Senate finance com
mittee with representative of the
tri-state packers, in their effort to
obtain so per cent duty on canned
tomatoes and tomato paste. The
hearings were held before the sub
committee composed Of Senator
James E. Watson, Indiana, chair
man, Senators Smoot, Shortridge,
Harrison and Connolly. Represen-
tatives of the Tri-State packers
met with representatives of the In
diana Gamers Association on Sun
day evening and discussed the
needs of the tomato industry which
was presented to the committee on
Monday. One of the most stirring
arguments made to the committee
was that by Representative Robert
G. Houston, no description of agri-
cultural ruin held the sympathetic
view of the committee more than
the picture described by the Della
ware Representative, who declared
that the Italian tomato had ruined
the main money crop of the people
of Delaware, how they had been
forced, he said to turn from toma-
toes to such plebean vegetables as
corn and beans and the lowly
squash, in none of which is there
any bottled sunshine or vitamines
so necessary to human health and
which are crowded into the lucious
tomatoes.

FLAG DAY OBSERVED FRIDAY
Many Flags Were Waved Along
Smyrna Streets in Honor of C0lors


"Flag Day" was observed in
Smyrna as we'll as other places
throughout the nation on Friday as
the birthday of the American
Flag. In Smyrna flags were dis
played in the business section as
well as among residences. Up at
Cooches' Bridge, Delaware, where
the american flag was first un-
furled in battle, unusual interest
was had because the Secretary of
War has declared that after inves-
tigating historical documents, it
has been authoritatively established
that the stars and stripes were
first unfurled in battle at Cooch's
Bridge, near Newark, September 3,
1777. The skirmish there was the
beginning of the Battle of Brandy
wine Delaware has been placed in
the third district of the national
organization of the American Flag

Alliance. With Delaware in the
third district, are Maryland, Vir-

FINE WORK OF AMBULANCE
Harrison Post, American Legion
Ambulance, Saves Another Life
by its Quick and Efficient Service

Harrison Post, American Legion
Ambulance, Saves Another Life
by its Quick and Efficient Service
Sunday evening last, the David c.
Harrison Post ambulance of
Smyrna received an emergency rush
call from the Kent General Hos
pital, Dover, to transport with all
haste, from Dover to the Jefferson
Hospital, Philadelphia, little girl
who was choking to death, from
having a piece of apple skin lodge
in her wind pipe. The patient,
Miss Marion Cash, Of Philadelphia,
was a passenger on the Delaware
Division Railroad train at the time
the mishap occurred. On reaching
Dover, the little girl was removed
from the train and taken to the
Kent General Hospital for treat
ment. The doctors in attendance
at the Kent General Hospital were
unable to eXtracr the piece of ap-
pie skin from the child's wind pipe
and Immediately sent in a rush call
for the Harrison Post Ambulance
TO convey their patient to the JEFF
ferson Hospital, Philadelphia, in an
effort to save her life. Reuben
Deakyne, chief driver of the am
bulance, accompanied by Elmer Van
Pelt, both residents of Smyrna, an
swered this call. Driving in the
extremely heavy Sunday traffic,
Chief Driver Deakyne made rec
ord trip to Dover. On arrival at
the Kent General Hospital, it was
found that the patient, Miss Marion
Cash, was being kept alive by ad-
ministering oxygen to her. All the
way from Dover to Philadelphia
Elmer VanPelt continued to admin
lister the oxygen to the child, while
Chief Driver Reuben Deakyne
speedily urged the ambulance on
through the heavy, dangerous traf-
fic, a job which required both nerve
and utmost skill. AS the ambul-
ance entered the Dispensary of the
Jefferson Hospital, the oxygen sup
ply became exhausted. Had the
drive taken FIVE minutes, even three
minutes longer, the unfortunate
child would undoubtedly have chok-
ed to death. The hospital had sup
piled only sufficient oxygen to last
an hour and a half. There is no
doubt that both the chief driver Of
the ambulance and his able assist
ant were the direct means of saw
ing the precious life of Miss Mar
ion Cash and at this time it is
thought both fitting and proper to
public acknowledge and place due
credit and praise to the two men
who willingly riked their own
lives in order that the life of an
other might be saved.
