Shopping On
Easter Sunday

1t was glorious day, except for
the weather, but who worries about
the weather when the bright colors
of new suits and dresses make the
day cheerful
could hardly sit still to listen
to the minister, because | wanted
to turn around and see all the
Easter suits. When church was
over, / ran all over town to see these
outfits on some of the students
Attractive Lois Pitcher wore a
gray sWagger coat and white, heel
less and toe-less shoes. Sitting near
me in church was Katherine Neils
in loose sWagger coat with brown
accessories. She wore a youthful
sailor hat and fashionable Mexican
huaraches.
Most of the boys I saw in church
looked good enough to date in light
pants and dark coats.
The two Hugill girls looked very
nice in their bonnets of white and
deep rose. They wore light coats of
blue with print dresses. Harriet

three-quarter length coat and a
matching hat.

much value to both the pupils and
the teachers because it gave brief
rest and time to recuperate from
the devasting effects of spring fever.
In regard to his election as presi-
dent of the Association, Mr.. Wood
remarked that he felt it to be a
compliment to the Libby school
system for their faithful attendance
and participation. Next year he
hopes to have some discussion on
world affairs. In this years pro-
gram there was none. He also plans
to have some noted woman such as
Dorothy Garfield Fisher, who spoke
this year.
His opportunity to speak over
the radio was an incident which
made quite an impression. Was he
nervous2 AT first, yes. After Is
minutes it isn't SO bad"
Another mark of special courtesy
to the teachers, was the review of
troops held by Fort George Wright.

DIR. Housman Speaks

Tuesday morning, the high school
was pleased to hear an address by
DR.. Housman, head of the Depart
ment of Journalism at the Univers-
ity of Montana.
To answer a question of his sons
Dad, if | were somewhere else,
going to school, would | be what
am now?"-he told in beginning a
story of a Chinese who was amused
blythe hectic time saving of Amer
leans. He praised the subtle humor
of the Chinese who ask-"Does the
young man live in well?"-when
inquiring about the suitability of
an applicant for position. He said
that this question should be ap-
piled to our attitude toward a new
and changing world, which world
he described to us as he believes
it it is seen by young people in Ger
many, Italy, and Russia, as typical
of dictator-ridden countries.
He described what, in his opin-
ion, is the mockery of the German
Nazi regime, which provides sub
stitute for everything but common
sense. He described the Fascist rep
lie of this system ruled over by
Mussolini, to whom he said, cor
respondents refer to Juliet" be-
cause he is always on a balcony.
He spoke of the Russian schoolboy
as compared to those in Italy and
Germany
DR.. Housman set forth what he be-
lieved to be a lack of a sense Of
humor in all those Germans who
are not in concentration camps,
which allows them to believe in
myths Of Aryan supremacy, as the
Italians believe in the fairy tale of
Roman grandeur. He related several
humorous stories as examples of
the only types of protest which the
people can safely make against their
dictators.
DR.. Housman said, in closing, that
we needed, in going forth to either
college or the world, both efficiency
and sense of humor.

The Crouch Club

In the spring when most young
peoples thoughts turn to the light
er things of life, we have an I'M
orthodox group known as the
Crouch Club"
1t is not definite as to why these
people prefer to be grouches. The
chief crouch and also the presi-
dent, Tiny Martin, can be a very
disagreeable person. This is only a
small club as yet; but what mem
bers there are in it are fully quail
fled and accomplished grouches. Be-
sides the grouchy president, there
are Gerry Burke and Miriam Goose
law, two big grouches, and Betty
Baker and June Hunter, two small
grouches.
We are sure that this club will
be success and if anyone has hopes
of joining, he should ask the presi-
dent if he is fully qualified.
Jack Raymond says that Missoula
is paradise compared to Libby.
Staley has come back with an
other load of inventions and ideas.

Why do YOU 90 to school?

Why do you 60 to SCHOOL,
AS this school year is drawing to
close, year that marks one more
step along the educational ladder
for most of us-the last step for
some-we begin to ask ourselves,
Why have we spent these twelve
years going to SCHOOL,"
One seldom starts to school with
any definite objective. Achieving
an education seems to be the thing
to do, and not until one has adj
vanced several years along the in
tricate pathway of learning does
one pause to ask, why do | go
to SCHOOL,"
Many of us still have no thought
of what we intend to do or be after
we leave school. Many of us will
follow lines of work where adj
vanced learning will be unneces-
sary; others will travel the less
crowded road toward higher edu-
cation.
However, when we leave high
school, every person has had the
same opportunity to learn, and the
same chance to choose which road
to follow
So it seems that the primary pur-
pose of elementary education is to
classify a person and give him a
chance to begin life work in the
right direction and on the right
foot

Springtime In The Mountains

There is music in the mountains,
Echoed by each brook that flows;
There's a whispering in each pine
tree
That along the river grows.
There's a story in the sunshine,
There's rhyme in every rain;
And even in the wind that blows,
| can hear sweet refrain.
Every canyon is a gallery,
And each hill picture fair;
On the slopes wild flowers bloom
ing,
From them comes a perfume rare.
Pine squirrels gambol through the
forest,
Happy birds sing songs of cheer;
With a smile Dame Nature greets
us
'Tis the springtime of the year.

WPA Workers Find
Much To Do at Library

For the past year there has been
WPA project for mending books
at the Lincoln County Free Library
in Libby. One wonders what can
be found to keep several women
busy at work for II hours month,
but the heavy circulation Of the
books in the library means there
are many loose hinges, torn pages,
ripped backs, loose sewing, and,
seemingly, tons of dirt.
A resume of the work done shows
that l,042 books have been rebacked,
1895 recessed, 726 reserved, 1900
washed, l,245 lettered, other mend
ing and fixing on 2,796. This makes
a total of l0,504 books handled. That
is nearly the number of books owned
by the library, but most of the pop
ular titles have needed more than
one operation on them. To do this
work has taken six gallons of thick
adhesive, 628 yards of binder, 300
yards of recasing leather, 1907 yards
of transparent tape, 10 sponges, IL
large bars of Ivory soap, and many
other miscellaneous items-shellac
tHIedu anu COiu, sewing Ctdfflp. pd-
per and pressboard, brushes, eras-
ers, sand paper, shears, avis, need
les, cheese cloth, etc.
The library has on file the county
newspapers since the library started
in 1922 and these volumes, over so
of them, have been bound. The
magazine files have been gone
through and some of them tied to-
gether
Miss Inez Ratekin, librarian, and
supervisor of the work, is very
pleased with the results and admits
she doesn't know just what she
would do without the help of these
workers. The books are so much
more attractive and cleaner, besides
having longer use.

cial senate committee on unemploy-
ment and relief has now proposed
creation of a new department of
public works to handle all such du-
ties except social security. The
three basic recommendations:
~ Coordination of state unem-
ployment compensation systems UNI
der federal law, with U. S. financial
assistance, providing 13-week pay
ments ranging from SIS to SIS, de-
pending on salary over the rs weeks
before an unemployed person lost
his job; (2) increased federal par
ticipation in state-federal old age
assistance, to provide minimum of
SIS a month compensation; (3) an
anticipated, annual U. S. public
works appropriation.
Should the proposal be adopted,
relief and security would still hold
plenty of headaches for congress.
Left to be ironed out was President
Roosevelt's proposal of social Sc
curity for ALL" under which old age
dIlO ullCIllpIOyIilCAt AIiSul diiSS PtO-
lection would be given every U. S.
worker as soon as possible. Other
points in the administrators social
security program: ~ increased
protection to aged and dependent
children; (2) establishment of merit
system for state social security per-
sonnet; (3) advancing social securi-
tvs pension starting date from 1912
to 1910.
Defense. Far less noteworthy than
the Byrnes report but significant of
the reorganization trend is the thus
far anonymous proposal to pool
army and navy under a single cabi-
net officer. Its aim: To coordinate
defense. Though similar measures
have reached congress before, most
of them failed because of tradition
al, leather-necked rivalry between
the two branches of defense. This
sessions bill has better chance be-
cause the proposed special rearma-
ment program needs single guild
ing hand, not several.

three times as great at night as

In the past seven years, night

says, and only II per cent in cities.

Too Much Burden Placed
On Every Kind of Business

Surely, Mr.. Rice has corroborated
the contention that government is
placing too much of burden on
every kind of business by demand
ing and obtaining all of these re-
ports-daily, weekly, monthly, an
riually. OF my knowledge, I can
point to hundred small businesses
that have had to hire extra account
ants and other experts to do moth
ing but make out reports to the fed
eral government-and answer cor
respondence from some squirt here
in Washington who tells them they
have not filled in the proper items
on line 81, etc. It has happened to
me, personally, more than once, and
all there is to my office is myself
and my secretary.
I imagine that farmers got taste
of this business of reporting to
Washington in connection with the
agricultural adjustment program. In
wandering around the department of
agriculture have seen hundreds of
persons checking and rechecking
farm contracts, reports of agents
and inspectors, county committees,
etc. Those farmers who did not en-
counter demands for statements
about this, that or the other still
have something to which they can
look forward, because they will get
such demands sooner or later.
Like the government machine it.
self, ! can not help puzzling as to
what 135,000,000 reports mean. OF
course, it can be said that it is one
report for every man, woman and
child in the nation, but it is not a
true perspective. There are, of
course, many millions of persons
who make no reports to the govern
ment in Washington. That means
others must make many reports.
Why So Many Different
Agencies Doing Same Work?
From the standpoint of effective
administration assuming that
many of the government activities
are proper-why is it necessary for
the government to have II different
agencies interested in housing? Why
should the departments of COM
merce, labor, and agriculture, as
another example, be asking the
same business man to make reports
to each one on the same subject?
Why should there be a federal de-
post insurance company, a board
of governors of the federal reserve
system and a comptroller of the
currency all concerned with one in
dustry-banking? Why should each
of these agencies have examiners or
investigators, doing very much the
same thing, making investigations
and examinations and reports to
their respective agencies? And / for
got this one: the securities and ex-
change commission also horns into
bank management, every now and
then!
Aside from these types, there is
the ever-present taxing authority.
Now, there must be taxes and they
must be collected and it must be
admitted that not all taxpayers are
honest. But hundreds of tax investi-
gators are going around and around
and undoubtedly they get their feet
tangled up with other investigators
and examiners. One wonders where
the end is.
