OUR YEARS
By L. S. NASH

The years we spent together
Were happy and full of joy,
But they could not last forever
And sorrow was our goal.
The flowers bloom the same
dear,
AS they did long ago,
And we still can see their beau
ty
Even if we have grown old.
Time brings many changes
AS it still keeps going on.
To some it brings happiness,
And some, nothing but pain.
No matter what the changes,
We will always be
Loving, faithful sweethearts
Until Eternity.

Those of our folks who are down in
Florida this winter have been sending
home for blankets. Virginia Bailey sends
back word that she is missing the post Of
flee furnace, even though it had habit
CT going out oftener than Ted" did.
Others of the deputation from Point
Pleasant are requesting reports on the tenn
perature up here and on receiving replies,
Immediately start for home. The only
chap who reports solid comfort is a lead
ing citizen who took his mother-in-law
with him. She is making it hot for him.
Point Pleasant IN. J.) Leader That the
Point Pleasant folks sent home for
blankets shows the lack of need for them
in Florida. That they did not come to Key
West, where the thermometer during the
recent cold spell never registered below A,
Is their hard luck. And that gives this
column the opportunity to say once more
that Key West is the only frost-free city
in the United States.

Presents q Great
Picture of Pioneer Life

Daryl F. Zanuck's production of
Drums Along the Mohawk" is one
of the most entertaining pictures
yet to reach Libby. 1t opens Sunday
at the Kootenai theatre.
Nothing in the movies quite COM
pares to an action film well-done,
and this 10th Century Fox picture
surpasses anything done in this field.
The romantic, adventurous days
when America was young, with
torch and tomahawk spreading their
terror in the beautiful Mohawk Val
ley, are depicted with a zest that
makes the film rare treat.
Claudette Colbert and Henry
Fonda are starred as a pioneer
couple who with the other colonists
OF the valley make a desperate
stand against the repeated attacks
of the fierce Iroquois. Featured in
the cast are Edna May Oliver, Ed
die Collins, and John Carradine.
The screen play by Lamar Trotti
and Sonya Levien is based on the
best-selling novel by Walter D. Ed

EDITORIAL
Shall We Dance?

What is there to do" This is the
question that many young boys and
girls ask themselves. The thing
that most of the students like to
do is dance, but it isn't possible to
have enough school dances to please
everyone. Getting down to actual
facts, many OF the younger genera
ton have decided that there aren't
enough opportunities tor dance so
gradually they start to 60 to public
dances. Before long, without their
parents consent, they 60 to places
to dance where older folks enjoy
going and would rather not be dis
turbed by the Ajitter-bugs." When
the parents wonder why their chill
dren like to go to public dances,
they are informed by the child that
he likes to have fun too.
The PIT. A. has been working
out plan, which I'm sure many of
the students will favor. They plan
to try to sponsor dances about once
week for the younger and older
folks. AT these dances, the students
would have an opportunity to dance
with others outside of school, as well
as with one another. However, these
dances would be well chaperoned
and everyone attending would be
expected to behave decently.
To keep up interest in the dances,
it was suggested that the sponsors
arrange for various types of dances,
an old-time dance, or a costume
dance. It has not been decided how
much should be charged, but the
purpose Of these dances is not to
make money.
If you like this plan we'll enough,
express your opinions to Honora
Hafstead, PIT. A. president, to your
parents, and friends. Real interest
in this plan will be force to its
development.

What Do You Consider
An Ideal Date?

Due to the great response to this
! question which was asked ia last
weeks forum, we are continuing it
this week.
Yvonne Hadwin: A perfect date is
clean, neat, and dressed for the oc-
casion. He acts like "A gentleman
and other people think highly of
him. He is one who doesn't like to
pair off, but likes to 60 in a bunch.
He doesn't forget the little atten-
tons all girls like, but he knows
can walk alone without any help.
1t it isn't too late when he brings
me home, he comes in few min
utes, but knows better than to stay
so long that have to start limiting
before he will 60 home.
Dick Brinton My idea of an ideal
date would be girl with nice legs,
figure and face, who is a good
sport, has nice personality, doesn't
eat too much, is good dancer, and
the kind OF a girl that a guy can
try new dance steps with, or some
thing like that, without being en-
barrassed. ~A
Ernest Staley: I believe that in
order to be an ideal date, one should
possess a lot of common sense and
know what to do and what not to
90 at the proper time. One should
be light and gay at a party, not
boistrous, but should have the feel
OF things and have a good time, be-

cause parties are given as method
of relaxation.
If one is on edge before a party
and feels mean enough to bite a per-
sons head off at the slightest re-
mark, the party is certainly no
place for this sourpuss. When dane
ing, one should show natural ex-
pressions and derive pleasure for
the rhythmic effect of the music.
In fact, it is boring to dance with a
person, or take person who doesn't
nave originality in her dancing,
but dances because her friends do.
One should assist in making the af-
fair lively, but never try to take
the whole show.
Lois Pitcher: An ideal date should
be always on time for dates, wear
nice clothes, and try to be neat. He
should never show off or try to be
the life of the party. He should
help you when you put on your coat.
When he has taken you to a dance,
he. should always be sure that you
have dance before leaving you,
while he dances with someone else.
He should try to take you to a pic
ture that he thinks would be inter-
esting to both himself and his date.
Richly Neils. My ideal date is a
girl of my dreams. She should be
good looking and a very. modest
girl. She should be lively and full
of fun. She should not want to go
as Dutch date but she should
not make gold digger of herself,
either. like brunettes, but we must
be liberal and think of others, too
Paul Risley. My idea of an ideal
date is girl who is a good sport,
and who has consideration for her
escort. Above all, she should not
be the giggling, boistrous type, but
should be able to carry on a pleas
ant conversation She should not
act sophisticated or bored, but
should try to have good time.
Ed Woodruff: Talk to be pleas
ant, not just to be talking. Accept
gifts, but do not hint for them.
One that will act her age, and above
all things, redhead.
Elizabeth Rubard / think an ideal
date should be kind, courteous, and
gentleman. He should be Jolly,
good-naturad, and fun to 20 out
with, and by all means, give you a
good time.
Marianne Strong: | think an ideal
date is to go to some place inter-
esting as skating party, dance,
or show with a boy who is enter
tanning and well-bred, and who
takes me home on time.
