End Of School Year Brings
Graduation Of Large Class

A large number gathered at jun
ior high auditorium Sunday night
for the baccalaureate sermon de-
livered by the Rev. II. W. Woods.
Rev. Woods took his text from ii
Corinthians: For our light afflic-
ton, which is but for the moment,
worketh for us far more exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory
The Rev Mr. Woods placed before
the young graduates the thought
that trials and tribulations that con-
front one in life are merely neces-
sary factors in building a sturdy
character He cited the fact that
select the fir for their
masts from the seashore, where the
trees are strengthened and tough
ened by the gales that blow. Sim
ilarly, if one stands firm against the
storms of life, a rich reward of
exceeding and eternal glory is ones
lot.
Eighth grade graduation was held
last evening at the junior high

its season with the annual picnic
and frolic at Savage lake on We'd
nesday evening. The young women,

flowers.
Boating, swimming, two teams of
softball-one of women and one of
men--were enjoyed until dark.
Then everyone went into the pa
william and danced square dances
with much swinging and gusto and
circled the tWostep to impromptu
music. This was the largest and
most enjoyable picnic the Junior
Women have ever assembled.
The newly installed officers are:

Attends Meeting of
WiIdIife Federation

Earl Switzer was at Helena Sat-
urday to attend a meeting of direc-
tors of the Montana Wildlife Fed
Grafton, of which he is one. Among
other business transacted, the meet
ing recommended that each of the
gun clubs of Libby, Kalispell, White
fish and Eureka appoint two of its
members to compose committee
that shall visit the Wolf Creek and
Graves Creek game preserves and
investigate forage and game condi-
tions. Action could then be taken
in line with what the committee
found respecting conditions. Some
are asking that the preserves be
thrown open on the grounds that
they are being overgrazed.
The following projects were rec
commended to the state fish and
game commission for submission to
the Fact Finding Committee:
A. An intelligent survey be made
of all existing game refugees pre-
serves) to ascertain to what extent
they are serving their purpose
B. A very thorough study of the
fur bearers to ascertain whether or
not this valuable resource is net
ting its full returns to the state.
c. A study to look into the advis-
ability of opening the fishing sea-
son at a different date than now,
just when the spawners are moving
onto the spawning beds.
D. Work out plan whereby the
game deputies may be made over
into more theoretical and technical
students in game management stu
dies.
E. Study the Sun River case and
look into the ACCESSIBILITY of the
Commission buying the area rather
than fencing it as now proposed
F. Study the South Fork prob
lem and the Yellowstone Park herd
problem and obtain as much help
full data for the Commission as pos
sible
c.. Study the matter of grazing of
foreign sheep in Montana and our
sheep in other states-and get in
formation on the taxation of both
groups

Everyone Happy
On Opening Day

Some did and some didn't catch
their limit of fish at Kilbrennan
lake last Sunday but regardless of
that fact it is agreed among those
present that a good time was had
by all.
AS soon as the season was Of

were built along the shore and fish
ermen could be seen trying their
luck. AS daylight approached the
number of anglers on the shore in
creased till some were fishing a few
feet from their neighbor Boats be-
gan to be in evidence and at one
time during the morning some 40
boats were counted at different
points over the water.
Only a few minor mishaps took
place besides sleep lost by those
enthusiasts who spent the night
there. A few received dousing
when they fell into the lake due to
trouble when trying to dock, etc
However the number receiving
duckings were few
AS usual the meat markets did a
rushing business SO far as hambur-
ger was concerned and some used it
and some found themselves eating it
Monday in sandwiches. AT any rate
it was used Many different types
of lures were used including She'll
roni (macaroni which brought re-
suits for one of Libby's better
known anglers. The rate of angle
worm consumption was far above

years of pain and years of dis

costs of the proposed building.
Architect Brinkman of Kalispell has
submitted a sketch.
Mr. LeDuc emphasized that the
project is still just in its inception
and that there is nothing definite
regarding it. However, he said the
joint committee had in mind a
building 80xl16 feet 1t would con-
tain an auditorium that would seat
approximately 600 people, ample
room for athletic purposes, showers,
a kitchen, and similar accommoda-
tons. He said the building would
be large enough to take care of any
conventions that might be held in
the city in future years.
Mr. LeDuc said that with WPA
assistance it was estimated the dis
trict would have to raise approx
niately $4,000. To obtain WPA as
sistance the project would have to
be sponsored by some local corpora
ton, such as the school district pr
city. It is planned to have it a
school project, said Mr.. LeDuc, in

used largely by the schools of the

Guilty of Fish
Poaching at Howard Lake

Charley Powell of the forest serv-
ice and Graham Caldwell of the
state fish hatchery went up to How
ard Lake last week and there found
plenty of evidence that someone had
been fishing in closed waters At
one place the lake shore was
tramped as though some person or
persons had spent considerable time
there. Many fish heads were lying
about and empty shells from a %
rifle. 1t is believed the culprits had
shot the. fish.
Caldwell and Powell caught five
male fish to study what they were
feeding on and found that they
were spear marked, showing that
someone had been spearing the fish.
