Editorial

From time to time resumes of the
meetings Of various clubs are published
in the Tamarack. They recount ne ac-
Invites and interests of the crganiza-
tons, but rarely do the items tell the
aims and purposes jor which the clubs
have been formed Therefore, the town.
people who are interested in libby
High must wonder often as they peruse
these accounts, for what purpose these
clubs have been organized. Perhaps a
little enlightenment on that score would
be timely thing.
One OF the oldest organizations is the
Honor Society, this having been formed
in 1925 The object of this body is to
establish good fellowship among the
students interested in the pursuit of
knowledge, to encourage scholarship by
recognition of merit and to promote
good school citizenship. From small
beginning, it has progressed until now
it is affiliated with Northwestern
Torch Honor Society.
The l. Club is the next in origin
II is composed Of all the athletes who
have won one or more letters in an
athletic event This group has to do
with athletic duties. They maintain the
athletic field, and supervise the painting
and cleaning of the IL" each year.
The Civic Club furthers civic appre-
citation, citizenship, leadership, good
will, and especially respect for school
property During its long career, il
has promoted many projects for the
well-being of the school Its activities
are equally divided between social anc
| civic duties.
| And what would we do without The
| firemen? Since 1926, they have spon-
sored and supervised fire drills. Mem.
bers of this club are elected by popular
vote of the old members.
The Peptomists have enjoyed much
popularity in the life of the. school
They have as their duty the instillin{
of pep and enthusiasm into the student
through pep programs and entertain
ments. Their motto is Cheer the boy
on to greater victory-help them win.
Last year yet another club was or
ganized to satisfy the need of the stu
dents to express themselves in the in
terest of dramatics 1t is called tn
Dramatic Club. During the foregoin
year, it sponsored all the High Schoc
plays except the annual Senior produc
ton. The members Of this society ar
taking great strides in their work an
they can be expected to do much thi
coming year.
The youngest child in our family {
clubs is the Girls Club-this being re
Gently organized. 1t takes charge Of a
the activities of the girls in social, q
well as athletic expression.
In addition to these, there are tn
Class Clubs, which take care of extra
curricular affairs Of their own; the Gle
Clubs, for the students with leanin
, toward vocal expression; and the OF
chestra and band, for those who wis
instrumental training.

although he died somewhere near China
before he got clear around
Mr.. Hazen was astounded at such a

Marjorie Moody
The room is very quiet, not sound
disturbs the peace,
Only that of rustling papers, which
seems to never cease,
Now and then the sound of coughing
or the moving Of chair
Or the sound of soft dull footsteps made
by some child on the stair
Then the teacher rises slowly, tapping
on her desk the while,
We look up for our first question
which she asks us with smile,
The hardest question in the book Why
that one anyway
She asks me the question and don
know what to say
But I guess the life is that way, I'M
avoidable, you know.
You have to follow your LIES pathway
though you know not where to 90.
Part of the time it's calm and peaceful
sometimes it rains and SHOWS,
So it Is just like the schUOfrUUnn. fi'ffra

AS a rule the I-told-you-so's wait
until after the season is over be-
fore starting their annual confab.
This year it is already at its
height. Every rule and regulation,
from the Biological Surveys per-
mits to clubs for batting on down
to the staggered season, has drawn
the fire and ire of the different
factions and hunters.
Talk by Darling
Not long ago we heard a fine
talk over the radio by Mr.. j. N.
Darling, the new head of the Bio
logical Survey, about the poor
breeding season and the shortage
of summer feed. Then he told us
how it might be corrected this
coming year with the use of the
money obtained from the sale of
the duck stamps, which to date
have brought in almost half mil
lion dollars. 1t all sounded good.
But knowing of the shortage of
breeders this year and the vital
need of breeders for next spring
and summer, we feel as though
the Biological Survey was very
shortsighted in issuing any bait
ing permits whatsoever, particu-
larly in view of the fact that most
of those issued were to cunning
clubs. working as a purely COM
mercial proposition.
Conditioning, the clubs call it,,
but we have a better name for it
and to our mind it is anything
but fair practice. We are against
it now or at anytime in the future.
If the ducks must be fed, which
we doubt very much, why not do
it on reservations or SanctuarieS
where guns are never allowed?
Would Increase Game
This is fine spot for the new
land Withdrawals to step in. Large
sections of marsh land, that can
be used for nothing else, could be
set aside in every State as sanctu-
aries and feeding grounds. Then
with the proper national restric-
tlons, strictly enforced, our wild,
fowl would soon be on the increase
again.
The question of increase con-
Germs Canada just as much as it
does the United States. If the Do
minion doesn't take care of and
protect the breeding grounds dur
ing the summer, at the point
which is the very source of over
80 per cent of our ducks, we here
in the States can't do anything
about it after they start on their
flight to the winter feeding
grounds. except to stop hunting
altogether.
Just to show the extreme short
age of ducks, one northern Ontario
guide says that during the past
breeding season he saw at the out
side only few hundred ducklings
while in past seasons a hundred

times that number was normally
to be seen.
Annual Game Conference
In New York city at the Hotel
Pennsylvania, on January 81, %
and %, will be held the twenty
first annual Game Conference.
Hoyes Lloyd, game commissioner
of Canada, will be chairman. Now
with both interested parties in con-
ference, why can't this problem be
threshed out and recommendations
made for regulations that will pe
real, workable and equable to
everyone. Even though it should
be necessary to close wild fowl to
hunting for couple of years, that
would be far better than never to
have it at all.
That little place. Messick, Va,
still sticks to the column as the
only place to get real duck hunt
ing. Floyd Rollins says in his re-
port this week:
There are plenty of ducks
here. The three days last week
were very good. My parties get
ting their bag limit early each
day. Friday they killed all
they wanted in one shot"
We know Floyd Rollins to be a
good, reliable guide, so even if his
reports are at variance with those
of the upper bay, we take them
just as they are and advise you
to call Hampton 1878 to make
reservations for any of the few re.
naming gun days.

with never a real clinch in the
bout.
Obey Referees Command
When they came together this
referee said:
Break, step back"
They obeyed. He ordered: BOX
on" and action resumed at once.
The race track is a merry go
round. The ponies, Scions of the
MongCl breed. tear around the
course, the little brown jockeys
lashirg and squirting. The bet
ting crowd-they wager anything
they have from a centavo to \
peso on the horses. And root,
boy oh boy; you never heard sucn
roofing in all your life. Some Of
the horses breo from Army Sires
are bigger and better than the
others. They may run in three
or four heats in the course Of
the day. And since they're short
priced, it is better for the jockey
if they win.
The cock fights are the center
of action. and if you're looking
for financial excitement, there's
the place to please your taste.
The matchmaker inspects a pair
of birds. The owners exhibit
them and the bookmakers, most
ly Chinese, take bets. They walk
about in the center of the arena
calling the odds.
Fight to Finish
From the ringSide or balcony
the patrons call their acceptance
of the price and when betting
ceases, the birds are let loose.
There's a Whirl of feathers in the
air, buffeting of wings and
flash of steel in the whirl of

bout is over. It's to a finish

that feature it here and in Eng

Into the ring one Christmas
morning a few years ago a Chi
nese merchant walked with a bag
of silver dollars on his back and
a big red jungle warrior under
his arms. He dropped the bird
on the soil and opened the bag
of money. Presently a native
came in with a silver back and
pile of silver dollars. They hag-
gled for a few minutes and the
match was made winner take all.
The house went into betting
frenzy and shower of pesos
rained on the floor. The red was
favorite. The fight started. There
was a sweep and slash and the
white went down, done to death.
AS impassive as a statue, the
Chinese picked up his fowl and
his money and walked out of the
building. He had risked the earn
ings of a year, but the gods of
battle had been kind. He would
try it again some time.
The Kipling Way
Maybe a strange way of spend
Christmas, but Kipling told the
story:
Here's my wisdom for your use,
As l learned it when the moose
And the reindeer rOared where

There are nine and sixty ways
OF constructing tribal lays,
And every single one of them is
right"

lion-dollar plant, which, though
brand new, has a world of tradi'
ton back of it for it is on the
famous old Lucky Baldwin estate
where Is years ago the last pre-
ViouS race meet was held here.
In a setting of scenic beauty
some $4,000 racing fans will greet
the return of the Sport OF
Kings"
Notable Gathering
Such horses as Twenty Grand,
Equipoise, Mate, Statesman, Head
Play and Ladysman are on the
ground among the 1900 horses
here for the 53-day meet and
Cavalcade is expected later-a
truly notable gathering of horse
flesh for an inaugural meet.
Hollywood will be on parade.
Every box and reserved seat has
been sold and the club house will
be jammed with the elite of film
dom.
A feature stake will be staged
every Saturday during the meet
and two or more graded handi-
caps will be billed daily. The sea-
sons racing will reach its climax
Saturday, February %, when the
Santa Anita Handicap with $780,
900 added will be run. A total Of
II nominations have been made
for this event.
Time Supply Is Choice
The feature of the opening day
will be the fifth race, the Christ
mas Stakes, over a mile route,
with $4,000 added. Time Supply,
packing top weight of 1875 pounds,
will probably go to the past as ia
vorite in this event. Head Play is
also regarded as a sure starter as
are Riskulus, Top Row, High Glee,
Frank Ormont, Dark Winter,
Thomasville, Bonny Grafton, Wa
coche, Jabot, Chictoney, Navanod,
Mad Trump and Fleam.
Second in Importance on the
inaugural card of eight races is
