new contracts in the far west were
awarded at accelerated speed during
November, the total exceeding $685.
100000
The Associated Press report reads in
part: The increasing velocity of this
assault on the depression is shown by
comparison of the last two months
contract figures. November's total
awards were more than four times the
October aggregate of s9,0l0,00O, and
nearly four times the September sum
of around s1O.OO0,OOO
These figures, compiled by A. G..
Darwin, managing editor of Western
Construction News and Highways
Builder, showed an aggregate of con-
tracts awarded in the last three months
of S58,1l7000. Most of this work is
under way, though some Of it, partic-
ularly Golden Gate bridge contracts,
remains to be started. Work on the
bridge will begin about mid December.
In addition to contracts already
awarded, there is s8,754,0OO worth of
work on which bids have been re-
ceived, S19,25O,OOO on which bids have
been called, and s126,0O00OO contem-
plated on major projects, so the IL
western states faced the cheering out

future scientists left the school house
at 8:45, their destination being the
Kootenai bridge.
They conducted various experiments.

cerned with the timing of rock
dropped from the bridge compared with
the timing of % bullet, held level
and shot up the river. They found that
the rock struck the water first SO Elmer
Stevens suggested that they pull the

| trigger harder to make the bullet trav-
ell faster. After experimenting on the
pendulum which followed the expert
ment of the rock and gun, the group
proceeded over to the park stair steps
Each person found out how much
horse power he had by measuring the
height of the stair steps, how much
he weighed and the time 1t took him
to run up the steps. After that the
class went back to school and their
studies.
Volley ball got away to a good start
last Tuesday night The opening round
found some of the old timers a little
out Of breath but each swore that he
would get down to real training and
that he would serve notice that he

the end of the season Tuesday eve
ming has been rserved for the volley
ball enthusiasts and while there was a
good number out to start the team
leaders should have their line-ups
ready for next week.

ANNUAL ANTICS A SUCCESS.

"Ice has heat" we are told, and with
this seeming inconsistency in mind, the
audience present for the Annual Antics
at the Libby high school Friday night,
was not surprised to learn that even
as serious an event as bank robbery
might involve some humorous situa-
tons.
The skit. "The Bank Robbery which
was written and directed by Mr.. Hayes
and presented by the Pessimists. was
enjoyed by the audience, and was re-
ceived in the same manner in which
it was given; in a spirit Of fun.
AS a result of the efficiency dis
played, it would not be at all surpris-
ing if Clarence Hogan would be the
recipient of many offers of positions as
bank cashier. And there is no doubt
but that when Chicago receives word
of the splendid performance of George
Botchek, he will be offered the highest
position on the police force there. And
even If Greta Carlo were here to
defend her ability, she would be en-
tirely outclassed by Billy West in the
Interpretation of those intriguing, ro-
mantle roles. Joe Fennessy, as the at
tentive husband, created that Clark
Gable flutter in the hearts of the fem
mine members of the audience. Ster-
ling (Turk) Hampton, as the bank rob
Der, made his impersonation so realis-
tic that the members of the audience
hurried right home CATER the dance)
and locked their doors.
If Don Olson can be prevailed upon
to show the boys in the army how to
hold their guns when training them
on the enemy, it will not be necessary
to fire a shot, the enemy will be over
come with laughter
Frank Wood does not profess to be
Houdini, and anyway, he was sup
posed to remain locked up in the vault,
thus making the situation more COM
plicated, and contributing to the en-
tertainment of the audience, which T
voiced its enjoyment of this skit
The operetta, Princess Chrysanthe-
num- presented by the Junior High
under the capable direction Of Miss
Aasen revealed ability This presenta-
ton was charming in the story which
was given in dialogue and song, the
manner in which these were inter- /
preted, and also because of the APP
propriate costumes and scenery.
Odin Rolseth, as the Emperor What
For Viii, pleased the audience by his
impersonation, good enunciation, and |
pronunciation
Shirley Brinton, as Princess Chrys-
anthemun, and Helen Martin, as
Saucer Eyes, were well received, and
each may add feather to her cap; if
that is the method by which Princesses
and Wizard Cats signify an accomp-
lishment
The fact that most people like water
melon, was revealed during the negro
minstrel which was presented by the
Boys Glee club, under the direction
of Miss Fousek And this watermelon
was especially attractive, because of
the animated "black seeds" which per-
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1932-12-08
sisted in all sorts of humorous cavort.

ings.
Despite the fact that the laughable,
animated seeds, detracted, the melo-
dies of the harmony boys reached the
ears of the appreciative music lovers.
Thus the singers harmonized. while
the seeds capsized the audience.
A novel song and dance number,
Romeo and Juliet presented under
| the direction of Miss Smith and Miss
Sonner, met with decided approval AL
i though not exactly diseoncerting, the
rapid changes of personalities did keep
one guessing, for just as the audience
had submitted to the captivating
charms of the hero Romeo,
Romeo was gone, and coquettish, al
Turing Juliet appeared and helped to
put across this clever number.
Elmer Stevens, as the hard boiled
captain, in the play, Squadron x and
Lamar Rowland as the army flyer who
overcome the greatest of obstacles to
uphold the tradition of the squadron,
deserve commentator for their inn
presentations of these characters. The
supporting cast also revealed their his
tronic ability, and attested the ability
of Mrs. George Vogt as director
This play gave variety to the pro-
gram and repudiated the opinion that
this heavier type of play is beyond
the ability of the high school student.
The Junior High orchestra, directed
by Miss Fousek, entertained with sew
eral numbers.
Following the program the audience
was directed to the balcony of the
gymnasium where a number of at
tractive quilts and rugs were on dis
play This display was sponsored by
the Womens club, and was viewed by
large crowd of appreciative people
Each adult was given the opportunity
of casting vote for first choice OF
the rugs and quilts displayed The
quilt displayed by Mrs w ]. Hills
was voted first place, by the audi
ence. The prize for this quilt was three
dollars Mrs. ]. H Davidson received
the $500 prize offered for the best
specimen of hooked rug. The prize for
the oldest quilt went to Mrs. Ellen
Hemphill, aunt of Mrs. S. G. Rate
kin. Mrs. Hemphills quilt was made
in 1874
Besides the quilts and rugs exhibited
the display committee showed num-
Der of woven coverlets of more than
usual interest. One contributed by 0. |
G. Gompf was a beautiful piece of
on an Ohio farm. 1t was spun, dyed and
woven by Mrs Elizabeth Worling, Mr..
Gompf's great-great- grandmother The
piece was over 100 years old. Another
hand woven bedspread was one made
by Mrs Sarah Keep in 1848. The name
and date had been woven into the
fabric These woven articles were not
included in the contest for the oldest
quilt
Andy's Blue Boys furnished the mu-
sic for the dance which followed the
program, and which helped to make
the Annual Antics of the Libby high
school decided success.
Mr.. George Hayes has managed the
last three annual shows. Each one has
been more successful than its prede-
cessor. This years Annual Antics
crowned his efforts with signal sue
cess The managing of show of the
nature of Annual Antics is tremend-
Gus task, and too much credit can
not be given to MIR Hayes and his as
sistants for their evening Of splendid
entertainment.
