cert with the Bobcat Band of Boze-
man which will be held on

widely known throughout Montana.
On March 81. will be given a Mu-
steal Review by the local students.
The features will be made up of a
group of modern arrangements, in
voice and harmony, and a dress-up
concert. On April Is, The Annual
County Music Festival will be given.
Troy, Noxon, and Eureka will be
Libby's guests this year. A joint
band of about 100 pieces will be
featured. In addition to this and
many individual band selections.
there will be featured several vocal
arrangements.
While all this is brewing in the
home town, a large Music Meet is
being planned in Missoula. AL
though Libby High School has made
no plans as yet, hopes are high
among the students that some ar
engagements can be made to attend
the meet.

Principal Talks
To High School

On Thursday afternoon, the high
school pupils were glad to hear Mr.
Wood address them briefly on two
important problems affecting the
student body.
Mr.. Wood explained the omission
OF department grades on our report
cards, saying that, although we will
no longer receive grades, the new
system doesn't mean let-down in
conduct and disregard of behavior
rules. He said that about IS per
cent of the student body had no in
clination to violate the rules, and,
consequently, no trouble about de-
pertinent and that the remaining
is per cent, habitual offenders,
would henceforth have a personal
department problem between them
and the faculty.
MIR. Wood requested that we pre-
serve our low record of traffic &C
cidents by respecting and obeying
the patrolman. He said that he
found, in talking to Patrolman
Mourar, that the high school patrol
men have the authority to report
traffic-rule violators either to him
or to the city authorities. AS viola
tons of traffic regulations are mo
joke" in the eyes of the law, Mr..
Wood asked us, as high school to
observe the traffic rules, especially
those concerning crossing the streets
near the schools.

We Need Personality

Each of us possesses what is COM
monty known as personality. 1t is
not a thing that is born with us but
something which our environment
and our own efforts cultivate. Those
who leave school feel the need of
II as they 60 out to meet people
whom it is essential to impress ia
Vorably
Personal appearance is an i'm
portant requirement. We can be
as brilliant, as skillful, as energetic
as we will, but slouchy, careless hab-
its will spoil it all.
With proper training in early
years, one must develop judgment
and initiative of his own. Early in
life we should have developed our
own minds and should have made
our own decisions on matters. A
youngster who is put on his own
to a certain extent will begin to
think out problems for himself. But
independence can GO too far If
problem is tough, it is wise to
seek advice. Until we have learned
this our services are worth little in
a responsible position.
our MINDS must broaden In
knowledge. If we can't travel and
see the world, we can gain funda-
mental knowledge by reading and
experimenting with the common
things at hand. A little knowledge
Of psychology mixed with natural
congeniality will take us far,
Last, but not least is BE natural"
An affected manner tears down any
good impression that one might
make otherwise. If we are affect
ed and artificial, we will be remem-
bered, but with an amused smile
and thoughts which aren't too COM
plimentary.
We, as high-school students must
look into the mirror literally and
figuratively to see where our de-
fects are. We must mend the thin
spots in our character and person
ality and remove bad habits of dress
and conduct We will then be ready
to 60 out and face the world which
we, unarmed, could not combat.

Gold, Guns, and VigiIantes

Early days in Montana, lusty
black bearded miners, gold dust
shipped east twenty thousand dol
lars at time, these are the topics
OF Mr.. Hutton's speech to the Mon
tana history class For an entire
period on Friday last week, and
again on Monday of this week, Mr..
Hutton held the undivided atten-
ton of the class as he related in
cidents and experiences of the gold
rush days in Montana.
One of the most spectacular char
acters mentioned by Mr.. Hutton
was Henry Plummer. Henry Plum
mer's pleasant personality and pol
ished manners enabled him to be-
come the sheriff of the Bannack
mining camp even while he was
the leader of the notorious gang of
called Road Agents
and later the "Innocents." He was
a handsome man with light steel
blue eye. Word having come of
some daring stagecoach holdup he
would ride out in his fine coat with
"a cape flowing from his shoulders
and swear to catch and hang the
ROAD agents. having met them, they
would divide the loot, and he would
then return to Bannack.
One night grim band of the
newly organized Vigilantes hung
PlRnmer and three of his confed-
crates. The vigilantes were the
most powerful force in preserving
law and order in the booming gold
camps of the early 1865. They
dealt not only with murderers and
holdup men. Obtaining Justice for
woman robbed of her tRock of
turkeys was equally important.
When we can hear men like Mr..
Hutton tell of such incidents with
which they are personally familiar.
is it any wonder that the Montana
history class had to move into the
Jr. High auditorium to find room?

Ski Club Has Party

All! a moonlight skiing party
What, no moon2" These were some
of the expressions heard last
Wednesday night. The ski club
planned the party very zealously.
The time was set for 7.30; the lunch
was fixed very daintily and then
one bright member thought of look
ing at the calendar only to discover
that the. moon would not rise until
midnight, which was too late for
the youngsters"
Despite the dark, the fourteen
members who turned out enjoyed
about an hour and a half of skiing
in the dark with the help of few
flashlights. After the skiing, the
club retreated to the locals club
house, where they engaged in games
and playing the photograph. The
affairs of the evening were topped
offrby delicious lunch prepared by
the girls.
The junior ski club wishes to ex-
press its gratefulness to the senior
ski club for their generosity in
lending them the club house.

Dance Is Well Attended

Saturday night the Civic Club
and Flremen presented a public
dance in the big gym. The pro-
ceeds of this dance are to be used
to buy a new fire gong for the high
school to replace the old one, which
cannot be heard in all parts of the
building. Although the dance was
attended largely by high-school stu
dents and alumni, many of the
townspeople helped by buying tick
cts. Mr. Wood said that the dance
made more than enough money TO
buy the fire gong. Thus our one
detriment to perfect fire drills will
soon be removed.

to have the best party of the year.
Eleanor Rodgers has entered a
mixed-names contest and is sure of
winning trip to the New York
Worlds Fair
Jack Daggett studies his Latin
for five minutes every day.

SO well that they all expressed vio-
lent disapproval when they thought
that they would have a weeks

Selected Poem
GARDEN MUSIC

(By Frances L. Swanson in the Boston Post) heard the sweetest music in my garden, just last
 night, I happened in upon it, when the moon was at its
 height; So, lsten while tell you of this entertainment
 grand For if you've never been at one, you couldn't
 understand The stage was just bed of velvet Pansies ruby
 black, With rows of stately Hollyhocks for scenery, at
 the back The Daisies Stocks. and Candytuft stood out in
 snowy white, And all the flowers looked radiant in the stiffness
 of the night. Trumpet notes were sounding from bed of Colum-
 bine. With Morning Glories joining in that orchestra,
 so fine, And everywhere the Crickets' whirs, and hum of
 sleepy bees Floated like lullaby upon the midnight breeze. Choruses were rendered by Choir of Running
 birds, The Spotlight moon made colorings too picturesque
 for words: And Fox Gloves. with their dainty threats were
 joining in the singing And all around the garden wall the Buebells kept
 a-ringing Now. if you feel like taking in a concert any night, Just slip into your garden when the moon is at its You'll get the biggest kind of thrill-of that have
 no doubt But never let the little Artists know that you're
 about.

Men Will Die for Ribbons

Has the United States been passing up a good thing? The Constitutional fathers laid down positive prohibition against titles of nobility. But that wouldn't prevent more liberal use in this country of the device of decoration If there is anything in the world that de- lights man, it is the right to wear ribbon in his lapel or medal on his coat That isn't necessarily as childish as it sounds. If the decoration is genuine mark of merit, the pride is quite legitimate.
 Napoleon once said something to the effect that a man would walk through hell to get ribbon to wear on his chest. It is true. The French army, as result, is one of the st-decorated in the world. american soldiers who served in France often make scardonic comment on medals conferred for the snappy opening of a limousine door or the whipping up of a tasty dish of French-fried potatoes.
 At formal British affair, a man feels positively naked without row of colored bands above the breast pocket, and even Russia, which likes to think of itself as the only genuine peoples government ln the world, broadcaStS decorations with lav- ish hand The Russian of today gets as much kick out of receiving the Order ot Lenin for whipping up coal production in the Donetz mines as his aristocratic pre- decessorS used to do when they got the Order of the Golden Panda of St. Leopold from the czar for devising new tax on the peasants.
 The United States has been slow to employe this technique Of riveting loy- atty to the decoration-dispen regime. The American military decorations are hard to win, and almost in every case well-deserved. Orders and decorations for civilians are here comparatively un- known. Outside of a few privately awarded medals for physical heroism, the decoration has been generally rejected by the United States as Smacking just bit of Europeanism. But now France has again led the way. The eight-pointed star of the Order of Commercial Merit has been created in France.
 Well, why not? Britain elevates to the nobility her great soap-boilers and auto builders. Now France will give star spangled badge to business leaders whose work has resulted in social benefit. Why not here? Is not the first steel mag nate to grant the eight-hour day as wor- thy of recognition as European diplo- mat who first thought of wearing soft shirts with tuxedo? And don't forget, some men would rather wear hibbon than clip a coupon, even in the good old U. s. A. Americans are, after all, only human.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-28
High Cost of Legislation

We've never seen broken-down re- port on the cost of legislation to the electorate of this state. It would make an interesting financial report some time to prepare such brochure. However, i; might be almost impossible to ascertain correctly just what it cost each and every one of us to get lot of laws, some of which we are interested in; others in which we have no concern whatsoever. There are hidden costs of legislation of which the average man knows nothing.
 A few years ago chief among these hidden costs which brought up the price of calling Legislature into session was lobbying. Lobbying, once upon time, was big business here In Connecticut. It still remains fairly high-paying busi- ness, too, although somewhat regimented and certainly bit more constricted than it formerly was. Right now we are learning, for example, just how much various groups and individuals and com panieS paid lawyers or others able to persuade legislators fom seeking passage of some particular piece of legislation.
 Under the present state laws profes- sional lobbyists must register with the Secretary of State. And within 60 days of adjournment of the General Assembly there must be a report by anyone who has hired lobbyist on the amount of com pensation paid. Such reports are now be- coming public as they are received at the office of the Secretary of State in Hart ford. The highest fee, reported to date, was about $1,700. Other fees varied down to nominal sums.
 Thus, it can readily be seen that to the cost of maintaining highly-g -geared legis- lative body at Hartford with all it's ac- companying expenses, there must be added the further cost of lobbying. We pay high for our laws here in Connecticut, but probably no more so than elsewhere.

No One Seems Worried

The terms of many ommissionerships expire on Friday of this week, the last day of June The new fiscal year for the state customarily starts on July and also new terms of appointive officials take effect then. Among them will be the office of State Finance Commissioner, currently held by Edward F. Hall, Re publican, of New Britain. Commissioner Hall has been state official for good many years now, first being named by former Governor John H. Trumbull, be- but not by Governor Raymond E. Bald win.
 The latter has sought to replace him and during the legislative session, just ended, named Professor Olin Glenn Saxon of Yale to the Finance Depart rnent. The Senate never confirmed the appointment, for the simple reason that the committee on executive nominations failed to report out series of three which 1t received and over which 1t chose to picker An interim appointment of Pro- lessor Saxon has just been made so it would appear as if the governor feels that the long period of no action was provided simply to put the incumbent on uneasy street.
 Evidently friends of the appointee knew that such action was to be taken this week, for parties in honor of Professor Srxon have been announced. Had the governor failed to be prompt with this recess appointment he certainly would have had to allow Commissioner Hall to continue to serve as he was quite plainly planning to do. The unfortunate part of l. lies in the embarrassment to the pres ont holder of the office. Where changes |n public office are to be made and can legally be made. they should be done with |one df1n1fch and not so tardily that the .|ict-11|Fer or successor are pumping n<p each other on their respective routes
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-28

We have heard many favorable com ments on Police Chief Garrett Farrell of Hartford who has just retired after 50 years in the harness. Here was a real dyed-in-the-wool police head. He had gone up the ladder the hard way and knew police regulations and detail in every form When he first started in as a policeman, it was the day of the knock em-down and drag-em-in variety. He lived to see his department modernized completely. Hartford can certainly af ford to pay its respects now to its former police head, just as Waterbury is still doing to grand old man of it's depart ment = George M Beach.

cal victory for them; for once the AFL admitted the principle of rival jurisdiction, then the way was open for the CIO to demand that, all its Al unions be accepted into the AFL, AFL DISSENSION
 At this point, Green hastily summoned special meeting of the AFL executive committee to consider the compromise of its delegation. The confab was hot and furious. Green bitterly de- nounced the compromise plan, de- claring that he was flatly against taking the CIO unions back ex- cept in their original forms. He also berated Dan Tobin, teamster boss and chief AFL peace advocate. Dan had been largely responsible for persuading the other dele- gates to accept the compromise. However, Green contended the delegation had no authority to make the offer, and after a fiery clash the executive committee turned it down.
 Angry and disgusted, Tobin walked out, went directly to the White House and told Roosevelt everything that had happened. A few days later, Tobin further washed his hands of the affair by sailing for Europe to attend a meeting of the International Labor Office. He is still abroad.
 All this is why the CIO is not going to lift finger to revive labor peace negotiations. Next move, the CIO says, is up to the AFL.
 NOTE E-6everal members of Harry Hopkins Business Advisory Council have suggested to him that the good offices of the Labor Department be offered to conduct referendum, among AFL and CIO members on two propositions: CD whether they want peace; and (2) whether the President should appoint an impartial body to work out peace terms.
