day in Eureka for on this day were
dedicated the new piece OF highway,
the new jail and the new high school.

disagreeable days 50 far as weather
was concerned. this failed to dampen
the JOY of all present, including visit
ors. It was very natural to find the
people of Eureka in joyous mood, but to
find the people Of Libby and Whitefish
sharing in our joy was a genuine pleas
ure Libby people showed a spirit OF
neighborliness which was deeply APP
preciated by bringing with them their
splendid school band. This band was
truly the high light Of the day; dressed
in their natty blue and gold uniforms
with their cleaning instruments OF
brass, they were delight to the eye
and their lovely music thrilled the
hearts of all
The dedication of the highway and
Jail were in charge of the Chamber OF
Commerce, represented by W. 6. Albee.
The exercises were to have been on the

were held in the school gym. Tom Long

Gregor, who was unable to attend, IN
delivering the dedicatory speech for the
highway. Ray Frost genial county COM
missioner, accepted.
The ABC OF Driving
Ray Bryant, highway patrolman, gave
very interesting talk on the abe OF
driving. Some of the points were: All
motor vehicles must stop within 10
feet of any school bus while unload
ing and remain until the children are
all in the safety zone. In making
left turn, extend the arm straight out;
in making a right turn, extend the arm
out and upward. and in making stop,
extend tn arm out and DOWNWARD, ALI
| trucks With a width of so inches or
more must have clearance lights and all
trucks must carry flares at night and
two red flags in the day time to use IN
case of breakdown. He urged all
drivers to read and abide by the rules
on their licenses. During the past year,
the first year of the patrol in Montana,
| the death rate has been cut Is per
cent, the highest cut Of any state in
] the union.
