Large Number of Men
At Communion Breakfast

A large number of the men of the
Catholic church partook of COM
munion in body at the 8 o'clock
mass Sunday and afterwards they
and few guests gathered at the
Moose hall for communion break
fast. Forty three sat down to the
table. The Catholic ladies served
a delicious breakfast, after which
the Rev Father Connolly of Helena
discussed world affairs
Father Connolly has travelled ex-
tensively in Europe He spent six
years in France and one year in
Belgium, and knows we'll the reac-
tons of the people of those countries
to what is now going on. Every per-
son present enjoyed the talk very
much and several said it was the
best address on the subject they had
ever heard.
In speaking of peace and religion
Rev. Father Connolly said, IF the
world had more religion at the pres
ent time, the nations would surely
be better neighbors."

Libby Manufacturing Plant
Is Constantly Expanding

Another Libby bushes that has
been gradually expanding with the
years both in volume of business
and plant IS the Libby Creamery.
A visitor to the creamery now finds
a plant modern in most details The
interior of the building has recent
ly been repainted in white with a
light blue trim. 1t imparts an i'm
preston Of spotless cleanliness. An
other piece of added equipment is
fan that keeps the air in the main
room circulating, during the sum-
mer time. II thus aids materially
in reducing the heat of the room.
In the winter time the process is
just reversed. Live steam is sent
through the machine and it blows
warm air into the room.
A glass partition has been placed
between the churn and the wash
rooms. In the wash room there has
been installed ventilator with an
electrically operated fan on the roof
that sucks out the heated air and
foul odors. That adds to the COM
fort of the workers and reduces
danger of the milk and butter be-
coming tainted. Other fans are used
to reduce the humidity and heat of
various rooms in the plant.
Of course one finds all the usual
equipment to be expected in such a
plant. There is an electrically OPP
Grated refrigerating machine which
controls the temperature in the cold
storage rooms and in the ice max
ing plant There are churns, pas
teurizing machines, bottling ma
chimes and similar equipment that
enables the workmen to pasteurize
and bottle the milk and cream with
out the product ever being direct
ly touched by human hands. The
same high standard of cleanliness
is evidenced in the handling of the
butter.
During the summer the creamery
has quite a large business in ice
cream. Il is shipped in from the
company's plant in Kalispell The
company is also distributors for
Coco Cola and carries a large stock
of that popular drink in one of its
cold storage rooms.

over the sinking of the two
freighters Saturday. An editorial
in one of the newspapers declar-
ed: at is imperative that such
illegal measures end.
Cellulose, of which wood pulp
is one form, is on the list of con-
traband, and therefore the Ger
man government approves the
sinking of the freighters. 1T
would have meant death to many
Germans had this celluloSe got
ten to the British, said one Ger
man official.
Information issued yesterday
states that the German subma-
rines reported in the Atlantic and
Pacific waters Immediately after
war broke out must now be 70
days at sea.
The morale. the statement de-
clared, undoubtedly is low. The
ever-increasing danger of the
depth bomhsis one of the main
factors in destroying the morale
of any sub crew.
The German U-boats, no doubt
lacking food, water and torpe-
dos, must now seek a home port.
1t is then that the greatest dan
ger will be encountered at the
weakest moment.

Before this work of salvaging
the timber wrenched from the
earth as whole trees, entire pine
forests, by the hurricane, can be
completed fully another year of
labor must be expended; prob
ably more. Il is tragic spectacle
to motor over the blasted forest
areas and see the trees still laying
uphill and down dale like ten
pins on an alley, all the trunks
pointed one way, the tops in
many cases slashed off and
burned for protection from fires
in the dry season.
