salutatorian. We are proud of The
showings of these two students.
They have made excellent records
during their high school years, not
only enthusiastically but in many
other fields.

the most outstanding classes to grad
uate from Libby High School In

only one person whose rating was
below 80. This alone is a record to be
proud of. The students who stood in

Crews at Work.

THE seasons activities in the Koot-
enai national forest are getting we'll
under way said Supervisor c. S.
Webb this week During the past week
we have put out three insect control
camps of about 30 men each. One camp
is on Star creek, one on Keller creek
and one on Meadow creek, on the Yak.
"A crew of rs men is working on the
Five Mile road out of Warland," con-
tinued Mr. Webb, but establishing of
camps at Rexford and Trego are being
delayed until about May 10 because
it is still too wet to work there ad-
vantageously
All of the rangers have small crews
out on phone, trail and road mainte-
nance. Maintenance on the Yak road
has been completed as far as the Upper
Ford. Similar work is now progressing
on Libby creek, on the Silver Butte
and the lower Fisher
Ranger Bob Byers has crew build
ing a new lookout tower on Swede
mountain. A new 40-foot tower will
also be built on Sheldon mountain to
replace the old lookout house there.

ing to do this summer although Byers

WILL REINSTATE MANUAL
TRAINING AND HOME ECONOMICS

The board of trustees voted last Mon
day to reinstate manual training and
home economics in the Libby high
school. These two courses were liscon-
tinued as an economy measure but the
demand for them has been so insistent
that the board considered it was best
serving the local community by placing
them back in the curriculum This
move will necessitate the employment
of an additional teacher In the high
school to replace the one dropped a
year ago.
One of the outstanding features Of the
school year to those interested in vocal
and instrumental music will be the
music festival held at Whitefish May H.
Representatives from Kalispell White
fish, Poison, Columbia Falls and Libby
will give massed band and orchestra
recitals as well as mixed chorus num-
bers in the large gymnasium of The
Whitefish schools. While the greater
part of the instrumental music in the
Libby schools has been worked up by
Charles Beardsley within the last year,
yet Mr.. Beardsley says that he is con-
fident that the band and orchestra will
do creditable work at the festival
Nearly 100 students will be taken on
the trip. The educational value Of per-
forming in company with the best musi-
cal talent of neighboring schools can
not be overestimated MIR. Bearsley and
Miss Fousek will take their turns with
other instructors in leading the COM
bined music ensembled.
The task of transporting 100 young
people to this meet will tax the school
supporters who have always contrib
uted cars to such events but the re-
turns to the young folks will be the
best incentive for another fine response
IN this regard" says Mr.. Beardsley.

get themselves into trouble was to
have East overcall with three dia-
trump with two hearts, and then
have East overcall with tire dia
monds. West would bid three
hearts, and about this time South
would double. Of course, West must
lose two spades, a heart and three
clubs. Being vulnerable, this is
big sacrifice.
In the normal bidding of the
hand, East would pass his partners
bid of two hearts, because South,
in bidding a no trump, has in
formed his opponents that he holds
a big hand.
TITO make three no-trump with
i the king of hearts opening,
the declarer must refuse to win I'M
til the third round. East, on his
two discards, echoes in diamonds by
playing the seven and deuce, which
is a bad play, as it tells the de-
clarer where the ace lies.
Declarer then leads the jack Of
clubs, West covers, and North wins
the trick with the king.
AS East echoed in diamonds, the
declarer now plays small diamond
from dummy, East plays low and
declarer goes up with the king in
his own hand, which drops Vests
queen. This gives the declarer a
lot of information.
1t marks East with the three re-
naming diamonds, so the declar n
now cashes his ace and ten of clubs.
On the second club, East shows out
and is forced to discard a diamond,
because if he let go a spade, de-
clarer would cash four spade tricks.
South now casheS the ace and
king of spades and then plays the
ten of diamonds, which East wins
with the jack. Now all East can
do is to cash his ace of diamonds,
and must then lead from his jack
and nine of spades into dummy's
queen and ten.
BY refusing to win the hearts
until The third round, South is able
to get a squeeze on East, and an
