This snow I'm shoveling from my path
Will be in April's daffodils.
1t will be blood to crocuses
And corpuscles to azure squills
This ice that stubbornly resists
The battering of my iron share
Will flow within the bending grass,
Submissive to the stirring air.
And next June 1 may catch my breath
To see peony full blown,
With petals holding ichor from
A SNOWFALL that l just have thrown.

1t saves money to grow plants from
seeds, but it saves disappointment
to buy plants already rooted. If a
beginner, do not experiment with
high-priced seeds in receptacles in

special knack, there is danger of
seedlings damping off. Now is the
time to test leftover seeds. If a
few terminate, the rest are probably
all right.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE FORUM


Local patronage has long been a
tradition in Libby. In line with
this theory it has long been expostu-
lated that locally earned wages
should be spent in locally owned
enterprises for the mutual benefit
of all. Consequently the slogan,
"Patronize local business" is quite
prominent in the minds of Libby
citizens, and justly so. But if Lib
by citizens patronize local business
why should not local business pat
ronize Libby citizens?
The point is this. Many men who
have lived in Libby all or most of
their lives find it quite impossible
to secure employment because their
jobs seem to be taken up by the in
flux of people driven from the
dxaIlth stricken areas in search of
better living conditions.
Certainly these migrants are
thoroughly deserving, but doesn't It
seem that workers who have lived
here all their lives, and whose par
ents have lived here before them
and helped to advance Libby to its
present status should be granted
the preference over these new-com-
rs? Shouldn't those who have
bought property, built homes and
paid taxes with the theory of local
PATRONAGE
What is the cause of this condi-
ton? Why is outside labor SEEM
ingly preferred? Certainly, from
the observation of this writer. the
quality of workmanship and ability
is not superior. Perhaps it is only
indifference, and if indifference is
the cause, local employers should
snap out of this lethargic indif-
ference and hold up their end of
the system of local patronage.
