The class in trigonometry had their
first field trip Tuesday. They found the
distance across the street by triangula-
ton. If you measure distance by the
length of your own feet, their error
was pretty bad; if by one Of Einsteins
strides, it was not SO great.

The Civic Club again has shown its
interest in the school not only in a
scholastic manner but also athletically
when they presented the High School
with new scoreboard. This was a
most worthy project. The old one had
been SO mistreated that it lasted only a

AN OBSERVER
To an4 Observer:
At the beginning Of the new semester

paper was running too much toward
the facetious and that we we're defeat
ing our own purpose, which is to pub
fish High School news. The logical thing
to do was to discontinue the Keyhole
Reporter No, | don't think that it will
be left out permanently but it will not
occupy such prominent place. You
may think this is a drastic step but il
seems to be the only thing to do.

my position, and if they will stop and
consider, I'm sure they viii see my
side of the argument.

for writing and producing. MIR. Hayes
has created here a powerful situation
and he has shown a broadness and
depth of feeling in writing that moved
the audience greatly. The play deals
with the spotted fever and its cause. The
play in itself, would be powerful
weapon against those who would abol-
ish the laboratories at Hamilton. The
play provided ample room for the pre-
sentation of the individual actors tai
ents. Each fairly lived his part and each
fairly excelled in it. La Mar Rowland,
as the nature loving father, bears the
full blow of the tragedy. This part was
portrayed in an excellent manner. Alice
Peterson displayed her talents as a
tragedienne in this difficult role Of The
mother who is a victim of the fever.
Melvin Knutsen gave 2 evmnaihetio J
depreciation Of the adolescent boy FAC
i~n the realities a. lifeis tragedies, the
establishment of his parents hopes,
and their sudden deaths. Raymond Ku-
java, as Tom Flint, transformed his
character completely and the audience
saw only an old man whose soul had
been crushed through 40 years of hate
and suffering. His speech and actions
were admirably well done. Lee Harmon
and Odin Rolseth added essential parts
in an able manner. They played the
parts of men who view an impending
tragedy but are unable to avert it. The
staging was effective because of its
simplicity
The third play, the comedy, enter
tanned and amused the audience. II
portrayed the hilarious incidents hap
pening in a Pullman car at night The
audience enjoyed the cast equally, but
they realized that Howard Deissner al
most stole the show with his clever i'm
personation of the negro porter. The
cast included Margaret Weller. Anna

Olson, Howard Deissner, Elmer Stevens.

The Dramatic Department. The high
school, and the town of Libby should
be proud of these three successes and

gardless of size, could match this
achievement.

 Nine men, including five state troopers, searched the ruins for several days, according to state pc- lice Lieutenant Leo F. Carroll, of Ridgefield barracks.
 Search Continued
 "The skull should be there" he said, If it was simply case of BeIlinger accidentally losing his life in the fire. We haven't found 1t yet, but wen keep at it until we do."
 Lieutenant Carroll said a safe, reported by the family as missing, had been found in the New Haven home where it had been taken un- known to Mrs Bellinger. It con- tained numerous valuable papers. he said.
 The home, a large frame dwelling valued at $30,000 was a mass of flames within a short time, accord ing to witnesses.
 Bellinger and his wife had lived here during the summer and last
 State Police Doubtful
 Thet cause of the fire has not ben determined. Because of its suss picious origin, state police were called In. Neighbors aided them in digging among the ruins.
 State Police Lieutenant Leo F. Carroll, Ridgefield barracks, took charge of the investigation.
 "If this is simply a case of Bel finger accidentally losing his life in a fire,' he said, "the skull must be there, but where is it? We've turned over every inch of ground in the place without finding it.
 "A human skull is not easily consumed by fire unless the heat is intense, like the directed flame of a blow-torch. don't want to say right now that there was foul play but things certainly look mighty strange"
 Little was known of Bellinger during the years he lived here. His son, associate professor of Greek and Latin, and associate curator of coins at Yale University, conferred with police Sunday but has not vis- ited here again since the tragedy. The family, at New Haven, de- clined to discuss the possibility of a slaying or that the house deliber- ately had been fired.

MANY LONDONERS
 HAVE HEADACHES

(continued from Page l.) countries celebrated with state dinner at Buckingham palace.
 Scotland Yard men, guarding the visitors against possible assassina- ton attempts from continental ter rOrists, still were nervous.
 But tile wedding was regarded by everyone a triumphant success as spectavle and as true TO- nance.
 From the moment the young couple, the Kings handsome youngest son in his navy com mander's uniform, Princess Marina of Greece in her silver lame wed- ding dress, departed in separate processions for ancient Westmin- ster Abbey to the moment their train left for their honeymoon, there was not hitch.
 The streets echoed with cheers for miles, and bells of the churches pealed for hours.
 Crowd Was Delighted
 The Greek Orthodox wedding service at the palace, supplement- ed at the brides request, the Church of England ceremony, at which the Archbishop of Canter- bury officiated at the Abbey. Then the young couple, with the King and the family, appeared on pal. ace balcony to the delight o great crowd massed before the gates.
 As the duk and duchess left for the railway station, the Prince of Wales and the younger royal peo- pie chased the honeymoon coach across the big courtyard.
 The duke was voted handsome by the crowds; the duchess beauti- full; Queen Mary as regal looking as ever. But perhaps the hits of the day aside from the starring couple were the two little daugh- ters of heuDke. and Duchess of York, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, the Kings grand children.
 They won special chores from everyone. Princess Elizabeth is $ and Princess Margaret Bore is 4.
 Prince of Wales Nervous The Prince of Wales was one of the most nervous persons nthe Abbey. He twiddled his sword about, whispered to the Duke of York beside him, juggled Princess Marina's bouquet while he fumbled for the wedding. ring as best man and then forgot to give the prin: cess her bouquet as she left hte church until the Duke fo York reminded him.
 In the service, the princess's voice was calm and firm. The Duke of Rents was strained and high pitched. Their T wills" were in- audible except to those nearest.

BETTY FAILED TO
 HAVE HONEYMOON

New Haven, Conn, Nov. S0.-- UP) Betty Dymarczyk and Ed die Grabowski should have been on their honeymoon today.
 Instead, Betty gazed despairingly at her trousseau and remembered that when she and Eddie had a little spat Wednesday night-their wedding eve-he told her he would never return to her alive.
 The guests arrived yesterday on schedule and were served what was to have been the wedding feast. Eddie's mother solicited the aid of police to find the missing bride groom who took with him several new suitcases he purchased for the honeymoon trip.
 Ironically enough a baker de- livered a cake which Eddie had ordered for Betty, on which was inscribed in heavy icing "A Happy Birthday-to My Wife"
 Betty will be 20 Sunday.

(Continued from Page 1.) testified at the inquest that more than six months ago both Nelson and his wife had accepted the idea that eventually he would die like his leader, Dillinger, and eight others of Dillinger's gang who fell before him.
 He knew it would come" ex- claimed the young mother who still thinks her brother was clever, and a good kid"
 Helen knew it, too, but she chose to go with him because that's where she thought she belonged"
 She and the girl wife sought by hundreds of vengeful men as one of the nations first female public enemies agreed last spring in Madison, Wis, on an undertaken to be called when Nelson finally was killed, Mrs Fitzsimmons said.
 Clad in pert black hat and fur collared black coat reliever by a white silk scarf, Mrs Fitzsimmons marked the inquest by her hostil- fly toward the deputy coroners. Chief of Police Axel Stofer of Niles Center, reconstructed the last episode in Nelson's life as the jury stood in crowded morgue over the body of the bandit.
 Stofer said he and other police were certain that either Nelson's wife or the man with him when he killed two federal agents Tues day near Burlington, III, watched from some place of concealment while police and government off rnhn1 lnnn1,, pYYh r..Eo prairie for Nelson's body.
 Somuel P. Crowley and Herman E. Hollis lost their lives in the last stand of Nelson. Previously Nelson had been charged with killing Federal Agent W. Carter Baum in northern Wisconsin last spring.
 That woman and the man with her were right near us all the time, and probably still are." Stofer as- serted.
 Someone = the man who was with Nelson at Harrington = telephoned the undertaken, Philip Sadowski, at 7:55 a. m., Wednes- day, that a body was lying out there by the street." he continued.
 We went and looked but couldn't find anything and went back to the station. About 11:55 the same man called Sadowski again. He knew we hadn't found the body. He must've been watchming."
 While the inquest moved toward the foregone verdict of justifiable homicide, a concentration of gov- ernment agents prosecuted the search for survivors in the gang which Nelson led after Dillinger's death.
 The manhunters plainly were not disposed to give mercy even to a woman if she interfered with their aim. They had no definite clue to identity of her man companion. !, but believed he was either John Hamilton, reputed toughest of the Dillinger gang, or Alvin Karpis. St Paul gangster wanted for the Kidnapping of Edward G. Bremen. At the inquest testimony devel- oped indicating Cowley knew be- fore he died that his bullets had likewise mortally wounded Nelson.
 John Madala. government agent. told the coroner's jury that Cowley from his hospital bed whispered to his chief, Melvin Purvis: Nelson we got him."
