Forces Curtailment of
Aid Extended.
EMPLOYEES TAKE
CUT IN SALARIES

Paul Church, relief administrator FOR
Lincoln county, has received word from
the Helena office that relief funds for
March will, of necessity, be drastically
cut This curtailment has been forced
on, the relief administration by delay of
congress in passing appropriation bills.
Relief funds have been nearly exhaust
ed and until the squabble between con-
gress and the president is settled re-
garding the s4,8O0,00O,00O measure the
president is asking to have enacted.
there will be no more than the present
funds available for relief.
There is still quite heavy demand
for relief in Lincoln county and the
curtailment of funds is being felt by
those who have been assisted during
the winter. In order to make the re-
stricted funds reach as far as possible,
Mr. Church announces that all the adj
ministrative employees of the county
have agreed to accept reduction in
their salaries for the month but will
devote full time as usual to the work.
This is highly commendable action by
the relief workers and will help to
spread relief further during this time

prised of elective state officers; creates
the office of patrol supervisor at not
more than $500 year, and provides
for the equipping of the motor patrol
force with either motorcycles or auto
mobiles.
The act becomes effective so days

vides that it shall be financed by a
D-cent drivers license fee, and the
funds acquired through the accumula-
ton of fines and forfeitures, 1t further
prescribes that members of the force

which everyone enjoyed,
Mr.. DeSonia introduced the subject
Of Respect for Public Property Civ
ing the history Of the idea, and ex-
planning how the Boy Scouts are taught
to develop this respect The subject was
then discussed informally by those
present, bringing it down to the prob
lem of the parents and teachers and
how the idea can best be taught to the
school children. II was admitted to be
something that has to be taken up first
|. in the home by the parents, then upon
the children entering school, it becomes
problem which requires team work
on the part Of parents and teachers,
During the discussion Mr.. Nordstrom
mentioned the fact that because sof the
small playground allotted to the Junior
| High pupils, it was often difficult for
them to demonstrate due respect for
the windows, and occasionally ball
finds its way through. He also men,
toned that he understood the vacant
block south Of the building belonged to
the school, and what a fine thing it
! would be if it could be cleared and
used for playground. This idea seemed
to meet with favorable response Of the
members, and there was considerable
sentiment expressed later over the
coffee cups that the association should
| attempt to interest the relief agency
and other organizations in such a
project.

No Fire Losses Last Year.

Fire Chief Hoffman reports that the
Libby fire department was one OF the
few departments in Montana that could
report no. fire losses last year. Libby
was fortunate in that respect and Chief
Hoffman states the only fires were
chimney blazes or ones of similar
character. This freedom from expensive
fires was undoubtedly largely due to
the careful patrol and periodic exami-
nation of buildings by the Libby
department.
There was d bad fire in the planning
mill of the j. Neils Lumber company
but that was without the city limits.
