Dietrich Donot
Co-Stor in New
Kordo Picture

Marlene Dietrich and Robert Do
nat, one of the most glamorous ro-
matte teams in screen history, come
to the Kootenai theatre on Sunday
when Alexander Korda's Knight
Without Armor" begins two day
engagement there.
Flittingfy enough, their vehicle is
one of the greatest love stories of
all times, from the pen of the IA
NOUS James Hilton who wrote
Goodbye Mr. Chips and Lost
Horizon. .
The picture casts the exotic Mar
lene as an alluring Russian countess,
and Donat is seen as mysterious
modern knight errant whose hatred
flares into a flame of protective
love as they live through series
of stirring adventures, knowing mo-
ments of incompatible horror and
bliss as they flee from the count
less terrors that threaten to tear
them apart.
The settings are among the big
gest and most impressive ever seen
on the screen. These include for
est so real that it fooled hundreds
of birds and bullfrogs who moved
in and settled down for the winter
and a section Of railway complete
with two genuine locomotives.

DIR. Cole Speaks
to Assembly

Thursday morning in the high
school assembly Doctor Cole was
introduced by Mr.. Wood to speak
to the pupils. DR. Cole mentioned
that he had been here several years
ago After looking at the students he
said, II see lots of Gods handiword,
but not many masterpieces. In
his speech, Seeking a Man. he
gave the Chinese definition of 'cri-
sis" which was opportunity and
danger.
The main objective of his speech
was to point out to the students
that we, the growing generation
are the only ones who can steer our
government and social life away
from danger.
Two noteworthy quotations taken
from his speech were, I'VE are
where we are because we are what
we are, and, They take that the
sword shall perish by the sword =

May Re-Route Highway
Across Moyie Canyon

In an article describing probable
highway construction around Bon
ners Ferry this year, the Herald
last week said.
"A survey is to be made of the
highway east to the Montana line
with view of widening the high
way and partial construction. There
is great deal of local sentiment
in favor of having this highway
brought to standard and oiled. It is
understood that a preliminary sur
vey ON this road calls for the
abandonment of the present grade
and bridge crossing in the Moyie
canyon, the new crossing to be
made at a point several miles up
the river"

Ranch Home Burns.

The house on the Fl. A. Joughin
ranch south of Libby burned Sat-
urday morning, with the loss of
practically the entire contents. The
building burned SO rapidly that very
little could be saved. The loss is
particularly disappointing as ex-
tensive repairs had just about been
completed at the time of the fire.
1t is said the fire was caused by
a defective chimney Insurance. in
the sum of $4,000 was carried, but
which will be far from covering
the loss.
Quarters for hired help are be-
ing fitted up in a bunk house on
the ranch, and Mr.. and Mrs. Joughin
will put up with their daughter and
husband Mr. and Mrs r. w. LIE Due
in Libby, until new house can be
built.

resulted in many attending and
those at home stayed close to the

Car Wrecks ON Riverside.

A Ford V8 left the highway and
fell down the embankment between
the homes of Jess Wetzel and Bill
Nelson on Riverside Monday night.
The car was driven by two boys
from Libby, judging from the gold
LIS on their blue sweaters. The boys
were voluble enough to make much
copy for your correspondent but a
merry laugh went with each bit of
information SO that it was hard to
extricate the facts. However, it was
the luckiest accident these young
men will probably ever be in for
the embankment, formed by a lit
tie gully, was between IS and Sc
feet deep and the car went to the
bottom without turning over, bounc-
ing from side to side in such q
manner as to injure the car con-
siderably in looks at least. No one
was hurt.
