Id like to wander back some day,
To you it may be old and sort O. tumble

But it means lot to folks in my home

I'm welcome as the flowers in May;
It's just little street where old friends
meet
And treat you in the same old way.

Lincoln Features

Honor of Martyred Presidenf-Two
New Members Welcomed.

A glowing tribute to the memory O
Abraham Lincoln was paid by Attorney
William Herbert at the meeting of tn,
Libby Lions club, held at Turner's Cafe
on Monday evening. It was the birthda,
anniversary of the great and martyrec
president and the address was thus ar
appropriate and timely feature of ar
interesting program.
/ MIR. Herbert spoke briefly, sketchine
few of the outstanding characteristics
OF this great and beloved man. After
recalling some of the great things Lin
coin accomplished, Mr. Herbert said
Lincoln's greatness rested not SO much
upon the things he accomplished but
upon the fact that Lincoln was great
within his own innermost self-that he
was great in love and compassion and
sympathy, in mind and intellect.
The speaker recalled LincoIn's i'm
mortal Gettysburg speech, speech that
will be remembered as long as the Eng
lish language is spoken. He quoted the
familiar words that called the nation to
a rededication so that government of
the people, by the people and for the
people should not perish from the earth
Mr.. Herbert said the present time like
wise calls for rededication by all
patriotic citizens that again government
of the people, by the people and for the
people may not perish In closing he
said no greater tribute could be paid to
the loved and immortal Lincoln than by
rededication by all true Americans TO
high and patriotic service for country.
The program was opened by Lion
WEIGH when he presented each Lion
with comic valentine with the word
ing pointed at the recipient These
brought forth many hearty laughs and
chuckles. Two new members were in
troduced, W. S. Hamlet and Lud Lud-
wilson, and were welcomed with
rousing Lions roar Lion Driear report
ed regarding the annual ladies' night
saying the date thereof would be an
nounced soon. Lion Miller called atten-
ton to the intention of the high school
Civic club to improve the vacant lot at
the corner of Mineral and Boulevard
avenues and suggested the Lions might
help by buying some shrubs, ETC., if
such are needed. A committee consist
ing of Lions Miller, Joughin and Lud-
wilson were appointed to look into the
matter
One unusual feature of the program
much enjoyed by the Lions was piano
and violin music furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs. Erne Pearson. Several numbers
were played by Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson
and they also accompanied the Lions
in their singing.

New Set-Up
In Directing
Public Work
Paul Church Is Appointed
Executive Manager of ALI
County CWA Projects
EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO MAY

by unanimous recommendation of the
other members of the Lincoln county
civil Works Administration board, Paul
Church has been appointed county SUI
pervlsor or executive manager of all
CWA work in Lincoln county. Under
THIS new arrangement, Church will be
paid salary of $25 per week, he can
thus devote more of his time to this
important work, and will have general
supervision of all CWA activity in the
county. This new set-up was adopted
following authorization from state head
quarters and because the work was be-
coming SO heavy that it required too
much time of the other committee MEM
bers. appointment of Church to the
position was made by the Helena of
flee, following Recommendation bv the
local committee.
A letter received some time ago by
Chas. D Rowe, local chairman, from
l. G. Spaulding Of Helena administra-
tor OF the federal Civil Works Admin
lstration of Montana, said in part.
Realizing that the load imposed upon
the various county administrations by
the details of the Civil Works program
has become so heavy that it is burden
some, and, confident that it was not the
intent OF the federal government to
work hardship or interfere with the
normal business pursuits of the COM
mittee members, the state adrninistra-
ton is authorizing the appointment Of
county supervisors or executive man
ayers. These will work under the direc-
ton OF the county administrations and
will relieve them of the details of man
agement without in any way limiting
their present authority in matters Of
policy
Under this new arrangement it will
be possible to maintain closer con-
tact with the various projects over the
county, while at the same time reliev-
ing other members of the county adj
of much of the detail work.
Work viii Probably Continue.
According to CWA plans as at first
all CWA activity was to
have ended on February Is. Therefore
all present projects were planned &C
cordingly. However, it is confidently
expected that new projects will be au-
soon and few of the old ones
continued for short time. A bill ap-
S9400OO,OOO to CWA and re-
lief work has recently been passed by
both the national house and senate, but
the senate added a minor amendment
q the bill which forced it into confer
snce and has delayed its final adoption.
The measure will undoubtedly be
passed and if and when it becomes law,
i will provide funds for continue
ion Of CWA work. However President
Roosevelt is hoping to bring all CWA
activity to close not later than May |.
Last week the Lincoln county COM
nittee received instructions from
Helena to begin drawing up new pro-
gram of projects for continuation of
he work after February Is and under
he new appropriation The local COM
nittee has had this contingency in mind
or some time and is already working
'ut such program for the county

CAREFUL CASTING K BUCK JONES FILM

Unusual care is taken in the cast ing of Buck Jones vehicles. Buck insists on a strong supporting cast even down to the players of min or roles. He doesn't want to be the shining. star in a picture of mediocre acting; he would rather cooperate with good actors and then share with them the whatev- CT lanrels and praise the film re- .ceives. It is this lack of profes- sional jealousy that has contribut- ed great deal towards the estab- iished and undisputed success of Buck Jones westerns.
 In "Teh Range Fued." his lat- est Columbia vehicle. showing Fri day at sthe Dream Theatre, he is surrounded by names that have bIazed in electric lights as featur- ed player.
