MIR. Powell Speaks
To Students

Friday afternoon, in the Junior
Hi auditorium, Charles Powell of
the Libby forest service, spoke to
the biology and general science
classes on Arbor Day, which is cell
ebrated May 2 in Montana.
He described when and how trees
should be planted and the enemies
of trees and their control. Mr..
Powell then told the aims and pur-
poses of the Sustained Yield Pro-
gram and the effect it would have
on the future prosperity of Libby
He then answered questions asked
by the students and when asked if
the present wholesale cutting of
Christmas trees is harmful to our
forests, Mr. Powell replied that fir
trees have little value as lumber,
they grow very abundantly and the
cutting of these makes room for
more valuable trees.
Mr.. Powell stated in conclusion,
Since the forests are Libby's great
est asset we should all cooperate
with the forest service in the pre-
vention of forest fires, one of the
greatest sources of destruction to
our forests"

Editorial

THE health of the child is the
power of the nation" This is the
slogan of Child's Health Day which
will be celebrated May /. This day

attention of each community the
Importance of child health and de-
velopment The lower grades will
have exhibits of health posters, ETC.,

forts to produce nation fit for war
Surely we need generation no less
physically fit for the pursuit of
peace"

cerned with health every day of
the year," The aim of this day is
TO focus the attention of the towns
people on the health work of the
past year and by SO doing. stimu-
late more interest in the health &C

a balcony overhead and a large
stage. The girls glee club sang i'm
mediately after the Libby band,
but in the Main Hall auditorium, a
room not so big nor so luxurious as
the Student Union auditorium.
The most spectacular event of the
day was the parade at 1890 Satur-
day afternoon The various bands
and some of the glee clubs marched
down the street in full regala, with
the University band bringing up the
rear. Cars were decorated with
balloons and crepe paper. 1t was

Yep-Here's Another
One of Those Seniors

Today folks, we will give you the
low-doWn on our schools one and
only platinum blonde. You should
know at once that that means Win
ME Boothman. You should also
know that she is of just average
height and that her eyes are very
blue.
1t must be true that opposites at
tract Have you ever noticed the
contrast between Winnie's fair curls
and Mary Janett's dark ones when
they bend their heads together to
plot with much suppressed giggling,
some characteristic pranks?
Winnie plans to 60 to beauty
school after graduation. Although
her hobby is sewing, winsome Win
ME is no sit-by-the-fire. She likes
skiing. scoasting, and swimming.
Hiking is her favorite outdoor sport.
She has no pet hates and no pet
loves. Can you imagine that?

MOTOR EXPERTS are facing
problems today that oils, once favored
in spite of higher prices, cannot answer.
These experts report that modern
motors, with their new metals and new
openings for oil flow, high compressions,
high speeds, and high temperatures,
punish oil as never before. That brings
up brand new problem! Varnish may
form, sticky at first and soon baking to

Swing Music Featured
at Stardust Prom

This week the junior class sent
its invitations to the prom, announc-
ing that it will be supreme, stu
pendous, sophisticated. The juniors
have secured Harry Walden's or
chestra. They have sent invitations
to the seniors, the faculty, the un-
der-class presidents, and a list of
alumni, and chaperones as we'll as
to nearby schools.
The decorative scheme is to be
kept secret, but the name of the
prom may give hint as to the
theme of the plan. The decorating
problem rests in the capable hands
of Ann Nolop, Lenore Martin, Betty
Baker, Richard Neils, and Ernest
Staley, so the prom may be ex-
pected to fulfill the promises which
the juniors have made.

Odds and Ends

Our school and community are
very grateful for the fine work Mr..
kemper has performed here in
building good musical organiza-
ton. He has built the students
from practically nothing to win
ming group-three cheers for Mr.
Kemper!
1t would be fun to know what
Fred Clark kept to himself when he
related his proceedings at Missoula
to the student body.
"Flashy" uniforms may not make
a band play lot better, but Libby
High School is in need of new ones.
With the build-up our band is get
ting, we should have something to
show us up-What is better than
nice uniforms?
Do you suppose that Ellen Stuhl-
reiter likes Dude Ranches or Just
the dudes? She seems to have been
impressed by one or the other.
The Junior Prom is now only two
weeks off. Plans are being made,
many conflicts, disagreements, and
discussions are being had, but the
work is progressing very well.
Why are girls like Tiny Martin
and Mary Cornell shy of places like
Casa Lonfa2
Thanks are extended to those who
were SO generous to lend cars to
take the people to Missoula
Bob Nolop, senior, went to Kali
ispell last Tuesday night to take
tests pertaining to the entrance of
the United States Naval Academy
Bob took tests Wednesday,, Thurs
day, and Friday. 1t is not known
how he came out yet There were
two other boys beside Bob taking

During the last week five trees
were planted around the grade
school Gene Novel; and Doug

Interest High as to Whom the
Governor Will Select On
Investigating Corps.

Conjecture as to whom Governor
Harold E. Stassen viii appoint on the
interim investigating committee IS
arousing considerable interest on the
range in view of the fact that this
area has no representatives on the
body
The governor has three positions on
the committee 70 fill, one or more Of
which are almost certain 70 include men
from the range. Representatives from
the senate and the house were selected
some time ago, and they, with the three
persons to be named by the governor,
will dig into the tax situation here
Range men mentioned in some circles
as qualified 70 serve include Purcell z
Barker, Virginia, former mayor and
present school board member, and
president Of the new Range Civic as

bing; Ernest j. Messner, Hibbing at

Blasting out 16 base hits, the Ely

defeat here Sunday, swapping Eveleth
TO the tune of to 2 for their third
straight victory in the Range Baseball
league. The local nine was aided by
Reginald Lefty" Winquist's scintillat-

Manager Ernest Madden revamped
the lineup a bit, and his boys came
through to chase Lampe, Eveleth

contributed the hit which sent Lampe
to the showers. His home run drive
to the swings, deep in center field in
the fifth, spelled finish for Lampe,
Buckley got another homer without
making a hit His fly-baIl TO center,
ordinarily an easy out, was fumbled
by Andrick, and Buckley circled the
bags as Eveleth erred several times in

the manager reports. A remedy for
this, the contractor has pointed out,
would be to place a plastic compound
over the joining lines Of the glass blocks,
provision that was not included in
plans and specifications at the time the
building was erected.
The fact that no humidifier was in
cluded in the heating system caused
considerable trouble this spring and
also last winter, the manager has re-
ported to the council. Doors that
opened smoothly when the air was dried
out by heat during the winter have now
swollen because of moisture in the air
and often janb.
The dry air apparently is responsible
for causing the auditorium floor to
buckle, he said.
Paint has peeled off the ceiling at
the south entrance Of the building be-
cause of Seepage of water through the
ceiling after snow had collected on
the roof over the spot, melted some
and froze the drain shut.

that ELY must be some town TO main
tain two such excellent organizations
as the drum and bugle corps and the

We did not like to BOAST but told the
speaker that this was only a part of
our excellent organizations which IN
all probability would have appeared
