AT this time Carleton Joughin raised
the question of the clubs again getting
behind the Libby high school football
team as it had done in former years
He thought if the club did there should
be a little more cooperation from the
school faculty. After brief discussion
Lion Turner moved that committee
be appointed to extend support to the
football team IN every way possible.
The motion carried and the chair ap-
pointed Lions Driear, Turner and Hough
on said committee.
Program Committee Takes Charge.
That concluded the business of the
evening, and the meeting was turned
over to the entertainment committee,
consisting of Lions Wood and Driear.
Lion Wood announced that Lion Bill
Farris would show reel of moving
pictures of views taken in the Libby
and Troy districts This was done, the
pictures proving highly interesting and
holding the close attention of the audi
ence. Following the pictures Lion
Driear stated an orchestra from The
Libby band would give q number of
selections. The music proved another
pleasing feature OF an enjoyable eve

Bessey, DR.. j. w. Church, Vernon
Crotteau, Milo Decker, Herbert Zawad-
Ike, Andrew Springer and Litchfield
Darlington. DR., Church and Vernon
Bessey also played saxaphone and COR

DECENCYv MOVEMENT IN LIBBY

Attendants at the services Of the
Catholic church last Sunday morning

to religion.
i condemn absolutely those salacious
motion pictures which, with other de-
grading agencies. are corrupting public
morals and promoting a sex mania in
our land.
Il shall do all that ] can to arouse
public opinion against the portrayal OF
VICE DIS NORMAL GpUdluOn Oh dl1alFSs
and against depicting criminals Of any
class as heroes and heroines. presenting
their filthy philosophy Of life as some
thing acceptable to decent men and
women.
i unite with all who condemn the
display Of suggestive advertisements on
bill-boards, at theatre entrances and in
newspapers, and the favorable reviews
often given to immoral motion pictures
in the daily press.
Considering these evils, hereby
promise to remain away from all mo-
ton pictures except those which do
not offend decency and Christian NOR
ality. promise further 10 secure as
many members as possible for the
Legion of Decency.
I make this protest in a spirit of

that the American public does not de-
mand filthy pictures, but clean enter

FOREST PROTECTIVE MEASURES
DISCONTINUED OCTOBER FIRST

MISSOULA.-On October l, the mo
smoking restriction and the shovel,
axe and bucket requirement were
discontinued in Region l, according to
orders just issued by the regionl office
OF the forest service at Missoula.
These forest protective measures
went into effect July Is in all national
forests of Montana, northern Idaho and
eastern Washington. BY lifting these
measures, forest officials are permitting
wider use of the forests and return
to normal conditions But at the same
time they urge the public to practice
utmost cooperation and caution while
in the woods-to exercise care with
camp fires and to put out burning
matches and smokes" before throwing
them away
Hunters who will visit national forest
areas during the hunting season are
reminded that dry conditions still exist
in many places, and they are urged by
those in charge to be careful with their
smokes" and camp fires.
The 1884 season was one of the most
severe fire periods in recent years.
Nearly all national forests in Region
suffered fire losses. Rainless electrical
storms scattered lightning over wide
area. setting 1923 fires. Mans carlessness
added All fires to this total-and nearly
all man-caused fires could have been
avoided In all, 1910 forest fires were
extinguished through courageous eff
fort on the part of the men from CCC
camps and trained employees of the
forest service, il is said.
Although slight reduction in the
number of man caused fires was re-
corded in the fire records of 1884, in
comparison to the number of man.
caused fires in 1881, forest officers can
point to 217 fires which were started
by careless smokers. Fires of incendiary
origin numbered 80, while unguarded
and unextinguished camp fires num-
bered Sc. Records also show that rail-
roads started 50 fires; debris burning,
23, numbering operation, 7; and So fires.

VICE CONDITION
IN WASHINGTON
CROWS WORSE

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-That the
volume and flagrancy of vice
has increased in Washington dur
ing the past five years was re-
vealed in a report of two series
Of nationwide studies made by
the American Social Hygiene As
sociation, comparing conditions in
1929 with those in 1928
The data, collected in the
field by expert observers. were
released here today in connec-
ton with the annual meeting of
the organization.
It shows Washington dropping
from its rating of good" in
1929 to that of "fair" in
1928.
So Cities Surveyed
The survey covered So cities in
48 States with a combined popula-
ton of over 20,000,00O. The
ratings were based on the volume
Of vice business, both as to num-
ber Of operators and number Of
customers; flagrancy of operation,
that is, whether vice was openly
advertised and easily accessible
to strangers; activities of third
party exploiters; special methods
Of operation, and of attracting
customers, prices charged, etc;
attitude Of the officials and the
public toward law and law
enforcement in the various COM
munities, and special factors en-
eouraging or discouraging the
operation Of vice.
The countrywide figures show
an increase in II per cent of the
communities, and a decrease in
20 per cent.
In the early survey 81 per cent
OF the cities were rated un-
satisfactory, while the later re-
port shows SO per cent listed as
other than good"
Various Causes
While admitting that it Is
nearly impossible to point to the
cause Of increase, the compilers
Of the survey, DR.. Bascom John
son and Paul M. Kinsia, offer
several explanations.
Among these are the difference
of public opinion occupied with
other questions Of common in
terest; a let down by officials in
law enforcement because Of
lessened personnel and budgetry
resources; inefficiency and indif-
ference, and in some places po-
htical tie-ups with the under
world; and an increase in the ac-
tivities of third party exploiterS
and of the vice personnel them
selves for monetary gains.

not contain a letter. We sup
pose some of you have won-

Perhaps it was supposed to be
a letter, adventure story or a
photo for the column, and you
have wondered why it has not
been published up to the pres

reason. Please watch this in
the future.
May we also call your atten-

SALMON PRICE TURNED DOWN
 AT NEAH BAY
Trollers Reject Offer of May Sell
 Tn Astoria

NEAH BAY, Wash, July 20 = Trollers voted 220 to 6 to reject the buyers proposal to abolish contract prices for salmon, falling in line with similar motion of the trollers of Seattle, Westport and Quillayute.
 The trollers also voted to send a delegation to Astoria, Oregon, to attempt to arrange to dispose of their catch there.
 Buyers hold that the heavy, midseason catches have reduced prices so low they cannot stand guaranteed minimum prices.
