Libby Ski Club Is
Building Slide and Jump

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in the Libby ski club. A new
slide is being built at the sand hill
north of town and number of en-
thusiastic ski fans turned out to enjoy
the sport last Sunday. A goodly audi
ence of Libby townspeople were also
present to watch the fun: Winter sports
are steadily gaining In popularity In
Libby and each season finds more peo-
pie taking up one or more of the vari-
Gus outdoor sports.
Mrs. John FINLAND, president OF the
Ski club, states that everyone except
skiers should remain off the ski slide.
1t may not be generally known but Mrs.
FINLAND says sled track, foot print
or any similar indentation in the slide
is very apt to cause an accident. In
fact, they are frequently the causes of
accidents. If slide is used for coast
ing or If it is walked on, it is rendered
useless for skiing, she says. For that
reason the public is requested to keep
off the slide. both children and adults,
if not equipped with skis.
Mrs. FINLAND states that some chill
dren have been using the slide for a
coasting place. This can not be per-
mitted. The ski club has obtained per-
mission to use the property from it
owners, the j. Neils Lumber company
the club has gone to some expense to
improve the slide and build jump, and
therefore must ask all those not skiers
to keep off

Gees Help To
Make Better Fishing

MISSOuLA.-Mo and better fish
ing for the more than 100000 holders
of fish and small game licenses in Mon.
tana and northern Idaho, not to men
ton the thousands of out-of-region Wis
itors who come to enjoy the sport, has
been the aim of a portion of the CCC
work program in the northern Rocky
Mountain national forest region during
the last three years.
The enrollees have improved more
than 80 miles of fishing streams, to in
crease their capacity to support fish.
They have assisted state fish and game
authorities in planting half million
fish in national forest streams, and have
built two score fish-rearing ponds and
two fish traps for span-taking. Most
of the stream improvement work has
been done in Montana, while two-thirds
of the fish-rearing ponds and both fish
traps are on Idaho waters
Streams improvement work entails
construction of small log and rock
dams to create pools in swift streams
to encourage the growth of greater
supplies of fish food, bank improve
ments to protect natural pools, and re-
moval of debris where it prevents pas
sage of fish along stream courses.
There are nearly $4,000 miles of fish
ing streams Yin the Northern Rocky
Mountain region Of course, the por-
ton easily accessible to fishermen on
for day-long trips is heavily fished
and with the number of anglers grow
ing, measures to increase streams fish
production are necessary If fishing i

Ask Higher Prices For
Fish, Game Licenses

If the Montana Wild Life Federation
has IFS way, Montana sportsmen will
be required to pay an additional $50 900
annually for their fishing and hunting
licenses. In session in Helena last Sun
day the federation voted to ask the
state legislature to enact law to pro-
vide this additional sum. 1t will be
used to expand the state wild life de-
velopment program.
AT the closing session of its annual
meeting, the federation adopted a
three-point program recommended by
its legislative committee with Thomas
Marlowe of Missoula as chairman. 1t
also reelected the following officers l..
w. Wendt, Great Falls, president; G. r.
Hopkins, Paradise, vice president; 3.
L. Brice, Laurel, treasurer. NJ r. Me
sault, Great Falls, was named sec
Rotary.
Under present license rates, Mon
tanans pay 81 for combined fishing
and bird-hunting permit, and an adj
ditional 81 for big game license. The
proposed change would create separate
fishing and bird-hunting licenses, cost
ing 81 each, and would increase the
cost of a combination permit to So.
Licenseholders could secure big game
permit for an additional So.
Nonresidents now pay So for an an
nual fishing license and $1.50 for a
15-day permit. These rates would be
raised to S. and So respectively. Non
residents now pay $50 to hunt big game,
Proposed changes would require both
residents and nonresidents to have
special additional licenses, costing from
$40 to $50 to hunt mountain sheep, goats
and antelope, should special open sea-
sons be declared.
The legislative proposals approved
also provided wider powers for the
Montana fish and game commission, al
lowing it to fix dates for all game sea-
sons. The legislature now sets the dates
for big game seasons.
The third proposal provides assent
of the legislature to acquisition by the
federal government of lands and waters
in Montana for migratory widow
refugees.

WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE,
ON MATTERS IMPORTANT AND
UNIMPORTANT.
WOULD THIS BE BETTER?

Would it be better to have the presi-
dental office limited to one term of
six years?
The nation may be called on to
answer that question.
Once. again strong effort will be
made to have a congress adopt reso-
luton that would place before the peo-
pie constitutional amendment pro-
viding for one six-year term for presi-
dents of the United States,
Much can be said in favor of such
an amendment 1t is argued that If a
president has no expectation of re-
election, he will be freed from many
temptations to hedge and build fences
for the election day that he sees in the
future. With all possibility of serving
q second term removed, it is said a
president would devote more of his
thought to serving the nation well and
building a place for himself in history
as a great president. In many ways
he would thus be relieved of the pres
sure of machine politics and could dedi-
cate himself more wholly to the service
of his country.
A constitutional amendment such as
this has been discussed many times,
but has never gone to the people for
a vote. It might be well to give the
nation opportunity to pass ON 1t.

RENOuNCE THEIR NATIVE LAND

1t was probably with mixed feelings
of regret and resentment that Ameri-
cans read this week an item from a
London newspaper stating that Colonel
and Mrs. Lindbergh liked life so we'll
in the quiet little English village where
they went from America that they had
decided to remain there permanently
and would apply for British citizenship.
If this report is true, they have chosen
to renounce their native land and swear
allegiance to foreign state.
We hope this report Is not true.
Colonel Lindbergh has been national
hero to the great American public.
Amidst the plaudits of the multitude
he manifested traits of high character.
Never did he appear to lose his head.
Always he showed the character of a
fine and noble gentleman. He was a
man to whom generation could point
with pride as a product of their times.
And yet, in spite of all the high
honors his nation and the world could
shower upon the Lone Eagle and his
estimable young wife, they were called
upon to bear one of the heaviest sor-
rows, to be the victims of one of the
worst tragedies ever the lot of any
father and mother. They had to face
the weeks and months and years of
horror and heart-ache caused by the
kidnapping and murder of their little
son, their first born. And as though
that were not enough of sorrow, a
news-mad press bounded them until
they sought sanctuary, peace and quiet
in foreign land; sought security there
where they hoped their second little
son could grow into boyhood and man
hood without the necessity of con-
slant guard and where he would be
allowed to live natural, normal life
This newspaper has not the slightest
sympathy for that type of journalism
that forces itself into the innermos
secrets of ones private life and Their
blazons it to the world as news for the
morbid. Colonel and Mrs. LindbergI
were justified in seeking to escape from
that constant irritation and worry
American journalism should learn |
lesson from this incident and char n
some of its practices, at least.
But granting all this, one can no
feel that the Lindberghs are justified
in renouncing their native land. The,
come from good American stock Thu
colonels father served in the Unite,
States congress. The colonel himsel
is a product of our American civiliza
ton and to it he owes a great deal
Mrs Lidbergh is daughter of prom
inent American family, whose fathe
occupied not only high place in tn
business life of the nation but who ais
had given his country distinguish
service as ambassador to Mexico dur
ing time when the relations betwee
the two countries were severel
strained. 1t seems 10 us that every fibr
of their being would hold them to thei
native land. And yet, they may choos
to renounce 1t and swear allegianc
to Britain. Such an act would be i'm
possible for any true son of Americ
