Thinks Age
OF Miracles
Is Not Past
Six People Mixed Up In
Peculiar Auto Accident
And Are Unhurt
LOAD OF LOGS
ROLLS OVER THEM

Here is an account of an auto acci-
dent that can almost be classified as q
miracle. At least that is what some
are calling it.
Last Sunday evening man, wife and
two children rad stopped their car be-
side the highway OIL the Bull lake road
and had stepped out of the car. The
M her and two ch,.dsen were stand
ing in front Of the car. Another car
approached them and stopped. Just
then Mr.. and Mrs Leonard Ray drove
around a curve in the road with
Large load of white pine logs for the
Libby sawmill The load of logs was
coming down hill. The car nearest it
started to back farther to one side of
the highway but cramped its front
wheels SO as to throw the auto into
the roadway. It struck the truck,
locked the front wheels of the truck
and it began to leave. the road, be-
side which there was rather deep
ditch
The father, mother and two children.
seeing the load of logs heading for
them, started to run and fell into the
ditch. Just then the truck load of logs
rolled completely over them. And here
is the miracle. None of them was hurt
in the slightest
The mother and two children were
deep enough in the ditch to be pro-
tected. The father, however. was some
how picked up by the truck and when
it came to a rest on its side, he was
found lying between the running board
and the side Of the cab with his head
sticking through the cab window He
too was unhurt except for a few
bruises. Mr.. and Mrs. Ray went over
with the logs and also were uninjured.
The truck came to rest with the logs
in the edge of the lake.
A farmer helped to pull the truck
back onto the road, the logs were re-
loaded and the load came ON to Libby
under its own power.

Libby Club Starts
Several Innovations

About sixty-five members and
friends of the Libby Woman's club
gathered Tuesday afternoon Of this
week in the community room Of the
court house building and held the first
regular meeting Of the new club year.
The community room, which will
without a doubt prove to be an ex-
cellent meeting place, had been made
unusually attractive by the artistic ar
rangement of large baskets of beautiful
late summer flowers.
The business meeting, which was pre-
sided over by the president, Mrs. r.
W. Smithberger, was opened with the
Woman's Club national anthem,

we'll as to devise new schemes for rails
ing funds for the club
The club this year is to be divided
into two groups with Mrs. Walter Neils
and Mrs. Len Olson as leaders of the
divisions. These leaders, with the aid
of other members, will endeavor to
have a large attendance at every meet
ing during the year and at the end Of
the year it will be interesting to learn
which group was the more successful.
Mrs. Herbst, as chairman of legis-
lation, spoke Of the two referendums,
the two initiatives and the two con-
stitutional amendments to be voted on
this fall. She urged the study Of these
measures and said that it is generally
conceded that failure to vote is yes

will become laws by the vote Of an
organized minority.
In reporting on International Rela-
tons, Mrs. W. N. Curtis told Of the
stand recently taken by the ministers
of Germany against the Hitler regime.
Mrs. J. M. Cairns spoke on Fine Arts,

and once each in the third and fourth.
The last five innings Lindsey held them
scoreless
Libby Loses
Sunday afternoon Libby went against
Newport, with the powerful Powell on
the mound. Powell is, beyond ques-
ton, one of the very best pitchers ever
to work on Libby diamond. He has
nearly everything perfect control, a
fast ball, quick and snappy break on
his curves. He and his teammates
were altogether too much for the Lib
byites, playing with Erickson on the
mound Erickson was not in good form
and voluntarily left the box in the
seventh inning after Newport had gar
nered 10 runs. He was succeeded by
Pearson. The game ended II to 2 for
Newport The visitors were credited
with Is hits, Libby with only six.
Erickson struck out 3, Pearson 2, Pow
ell is. First on balls, Erickson 3,
Pearson 2, Powell 3.

 Declarer cleared the heart suit, ending up in his own hand. A small diamond was played to dummy's, queen, but Weslt played the king, and declarer played low from dummy.
 When West returned diamond, declarer realized that his original club holding must have been Q singleton. This trick was won by declarer's ace, and a small diamond was played to dummy's queen, East showing out and marking West with fourth diamond.
 Declarer now was perfectly safe in returning Q small diamond and rufilng with e small spade. At this point he had lost only one trick and was down to the ace-jack of spades and two losing clubs.
 A club was led, which West was forced to run. He then had to lead into declarer's spade tenace, assur- ing South of his contract.
