Big Exposition

But No One Knows Where
1t Comes From.
LIONS DISCUSS
RADIO INTERFERENCE

That the product of Libby mine
is attracting great amount of at
tention at the San Francisco fair
but no one there seems to know
where it comes from, was Informal
ton impaired to the Libby Lions by
r. R. Veldman while speaking be-
fore the club at its dinner Monday
night in the Presbyterian church
parlors.
Mr.. Veldman told briefly of his
visit to the fair and remarked that
Zonohte was used in the walls of
most of the buildings. The Zono-
lite was sprayed into the walls of
the buildings and gives glistening
effect under the night lights. The
guide called the attention of
group he was conducting over the
grounds to this beautiful effect.
whereupon Mr.. Veldman asked him
if he knew where the material
duced in the United States or vas
shipped in from some foreign coun-
try. The guide did not know. which
gave Mr.. Veldman good opportun-
ity to tell him that it was mined
in Montana.
Mr. Veldman also said he was sur
prised to find that there were no
exhibits of Zonolite or vermiculite
in the Montana building, nor was
there any reference to the fact that
the mineral is mined in Montana.
A wonderful opportunity for adver
Using Montana product is appar-
emily being neglected, said Weld
man. and suggested that this matter
be looked into by the club. Mr..
Veldman spoke briefly but interest
ingly of the fair and said everyone
who possibly could should plan TO
attend.
An important matter was intro
duced for discussion by Lion Tom
Brindley-the oft discussed radio in
reference and how to eliminate it.
Lion Brindley said the city had gone
to the expense of buying a machine
for tracing down the interference,
yet there still was lot of it. Lion
Murray as city attorney said the
city had an ordinance with plenty
of teeth in it for punishment of Of
tenders. He also said the city had
found that it required great deal
of time to work over the entire city
more than the city could pay for
and more time than any man could
donate He said the difficulty was
gradually being improved, however.
Lion Bill Farris said correction OF
radio interference was a most diff
ficult task and explained some of
the technical difficulties 1t was
finally decided to refer the matter
to the civic Improvement and COM
munity betterment committees with
the recommendation that they work
with city officials to remove this
prevalent nuisance.
Carlton Joughin reported there
was small deficit from the Ladies
Night entertainment but that the
affair was most enjoyable and a
complete success.
1t was voted to extend an invita-
ton to the district governor to
visit the club on one of its regular
meeting nights.
Lion Paul Church reported that
WPA work would probably start on
the Kootenai falls park about
April l. In the meantime some in
side work would be done on tables
and similar equipment. Lion Driear
volunteered to send truck out to
haul in the tables whenever they
were wanted.
Two new members were well
coined into the club-Don Orr and
Harold Gompf Lion Krall presided
at the ceremonies, emphasizing that
Lionism is strongly patriotic and
saying that the letters in the clubs
tit1e-L-T-O -N-S-stands for Lib
erty, Intelligence, Our Nations Safe
ty. Lions Church and Swarens
then invested the new members
with club pins.
Lions Driear and Murray were
presented with membership keys
for their good work in securing new
members
Bonner Hooks was introduced as
a guest, and spoke briefly. Lion
Don Orr said he had read the club
code and appreciated its high ideals
and that he would be glad to work
with the organization. Lion Harold
