Hanpy New Year.

Tuesday is the grand finale to a
mighty important year in the his

new flag which adorns the as

Hi It's been quite while since
the last time | stopped to tell
you all the gossip, and really /
don't have time to give you all the
low-doWn now, but there are a few
things that you've just got to know.
"Slaus" has learned not to brag
out loud, we hope AT least he sure
was leased enough about that one
he made when he was safe" at
home, about the fact that he intend
ed to date grade school teacher.
| guess the walls not only have ears,
but mouths as we'll, since not only
teacher in question, but all the
rest of the faculty, and about half
the student body knew all about it
the next day. Have you dated her
yet, Slauson?
Tut! Tut It's shame the way
the students in Libby High School
acted about having toys Tor pres
ents at the Christmas program. Do
we belong in high school or kinder
garten? Well, heck, what if we do
belong in kindergarten-it was fun
anyhow, wasn't it?
The basketball quintette from
lone, Wash, is coming here to COM
bat the Terriers on Saturday, the
18th. Be sure to see the game.
Ray Rubard borrowed Howard
Eggert's overcoat for his perform
ance in the Christmas program, and
ever since, Howard has been drag
ging souvenirs from the salt mines
Of Russia and "shoehorns from
the Chicago Worlds Fair out of
his pockets. ! guess he's still look
ing for that picture of Virginia
Gee" Here's hoping you find it,
Dutch" but / have my doubts
about Rays ever being SO careless
as to lose that.
Well, / have to go down and
exchange all my Christmas presents
that didn't suit me, SO I'll be pretty
busy for while. In the mean
time,
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
The Tattler.

High School Has
Christmas Party

Faces were beaming Friday af-
ternoon as the students came up the
high school steps with neatly wrap
ped bundles under their arms. The
bundles were designation of a
Christmas party which was spon-
sored by the Tamarack staff and
the Program Assembly committee.
To begin the party, Professor
Quiz program took place. Gilbert
Earle was the professor and the
class presidents were the contest
ants. The junior class president,
Tommy Brinton, seemed to know
the most about Christmas and SO he
was given the grand first prize.
Next came the pie-eating contest
which consisted of Jack Dagget.
Gilbert Earle, Paul Risley, and
Coach Erickson as the pie eaters.

{ Senior SNAPSHOTS

A trip to the attic for my care
fully stored Christmas tree decora-
tons once again drew my atten-
ton to my old snapshot album,
and as usual ! simply couldn't re-
slst turning page or two.
An ear-to-ear grin caught my at
tention on one page, and I looked
more closely to see Leonard Spen-
GER perched on the steps of the west
entrance of L. H. S.-With a sug-
gestion of cousin Fuzz in the back
ground. And on the same page were
pictures of Fuzzy Spencer, loaded
down with the medals from many a
battle with girls, | recall, as most
Of the medals looked suspiciously
like l0c-store jewelry); and of
course Howard Eggert's picture was
there, too | wonder now, how
got them apart long enough to take
their pictures. since they were SO
inseparable that their friends often
referred to them as the Three
Musketeers" or the 'Triumverate. !"
OF course, they always had a lot
in common, playing basketball, star
ring in track, and as / remember,
they made quite reputation for
themselves as valuable members of
the Western District Champions in
class B football. way back in 1910,
when they were seniors and How
ard, or Dutch" as he was more
commonly known was captain Of
the Terriers.
A picture of them taken together
in the science lab reminded me
Of the many times I'd watched them
stir together some connection. and
then touch match to it. or pour in
little acid If there isn't new
floor in the room now, I'll bet that
! could 60 back there, and show
you the remnants of several of their
experiments.
Back in 1910, Fuzzy had a Dodge,
and his favorite song was ''I'll Take
You Home Again, Kathryn; while
Howard kept interrupting the trip
to Hates with his plea of Garry

ard, the diplomat of the three, new
er would commit himself on his
favorite song, and had all the girls
guessing. However, Coach Erick-
son and heavy sports schedule
kept the boys pretty well occupied,
at least part Of the time.
I'd have liked to spend more time
reminiscing but then, there was my
Christmas tree still waiting to be
trimmed, so reluctantly closed my
album until the next time.

Terriers Trim Troy

Saturday night the Terriers first

Troy, where they defeated the Tro-
jams in both games
The Libby second string showed
its superiority over the Troy sec

and in shooting. Players were fire.

The Terriers left the floor with a
24-l7 victory over the Trojan team.
In the second game, between the
two varsity teams, Libby took the
lead at the end of the first quarter,
and held it throughout the game to
a 1928 victory. Both teams used a
man-to-man defense, although Troy
tried a zone, but the -to-man
proved to be a much better de-

point man in the game, scoring is

Return of Ice Age
Hampers Students

'Whoops, there 60 again.
Help, don't touch me- I'm one big
bruise. These were only a few of
the comments of the students over
heard by your reporter on my way
to school Friday morning. A heavy
fall of sleet, followed by low tenn
peratures covered the whole of the
countryside of Libby with a big
sheet OF glare ice. Transportation
by automobile was slow and very
treacherous But it was the stu
dents who ventured to school on
foot who really suffered. Even those
who walked carefully at snail's
pace did not escape with less than
two or three falls.

were there-and the Lions we're
present, and why? The Western

pions received their silver foot
balls and their letters on Friday
morning.
Mr.. Paul Church represented the
Lions and gave a short speech.
Coach Erickson then presented the

He next presented Professor Walter

School Football Examinations, who
gave a very interesting and anus

ments of high school football.
Contrary to popular opinion,
said Mr.. Scott. No student who is
failing in his school work can be
a member of championship foot

have resourcefulness, physical anc
moral courage, craftsmanship, ane
loyalty

Potomac Pollution
Federal OfhciuIs
Will Join Others
From Nearby States

President Roosevelt today ap-
pointed three officials to represent
the Federal Government on the In
terstate Commission on the Potomac
River Basin, created to coordinate
efforts to control pollution on the
Potomac River.
Those named to the commission
were DR.. Abel Wolman, chairman of
the Water Resources Committee of
the National Resources Planning
Board; Ralph E. Tarbett, senior
sanitary engineer of the United
States Public Health Service, and
Col. R. S. Thomas, District engineer

agency representing the several
States involved. The Commission S
duties include cooperation with

and control of pollution of streams

Roosevelt 10 Report
On Defense Program
To All Americas
Speech to Be Broadcast
From Dayton October II
During Inspection Tour
BY GARNET d. HORNER.

President Roosevelt will make a
report on the national defense pro-
gram to the people of all the 81
American republics on October H.
the White House announced today.
The report will be given in a
speech to be broadcast from the
Presidents railroad car at Dayton,
Ohio, expected to be the Western
terminus of an inspection tour Of
defense plants being planned by Mr..
Roosevelt.
Stephen T. Early, White House
press secretary, said the report
would be broadcast by the three
major radio networks in this coun-
try, as well as by short wave to
Latin America. 1t is planned to
take half an hour of radio time, be-
ginning at pm E. S. T.
Nom Political Basis.
Mr.. Early said it would be carried
by the networks on a nom political,
non-paying basis.
Purpose of the address, Mr.. Early
explained, is to tell the people of all
the other American republics, as
we'll as those of this country, exactly
what the United States is doing in
the way of defense preparations, and
why 1t is being done.
Mr.. Early pointed out that the
date selected for the speech, Octo-
Der II. is just four DAYS before all
men 81 to IS years old in this coun-
try will be required to register I'M
der the Consumption Act. Part Of
the Presidents address will relate to
the October 16 registration and the
reasons for it, Mr. Early said.
He described the speech as an
effort to give a comprehensive re-
view and outline in straight mar
rative form of the national defense
story in this country.
The report will follow in sub
stance, Mr.. Early said, what Mr..
Roosevelt had to say to the group
of military chiefs of Latin Amer
lean countries who visited him at
the White House this week during
an inspection tour in this country
at the invitation of Gen. George C.
Marshall, United States Army chief
of staff.
"One for All' Viewpoint.
Mr.. Early emphasized that in the
Presidents point of view it was "one
for all and all for one" in planning
for defense of this hemisphere.
He pointed out that the DAYTON
speech would be a departure from
the usual "fireside chat" reports by
the President. since it would be ad-
dressed to all the Western Henri
sphere.
Mr.. Early said plans for the trip
which will take the President to
Dayton on October u had not been
completed in detail. Mr.. Roosevelt
is expected to be in Pittsburgh on
October IL, however. At Dayton he
will inspect Wright Field, the Army's
huge air corps establishment there.
The President is expected to leave
late tomorrow for Hyde Park, NJ

Democratic Senator Donahey. There
can be no doubt that Mr.. Willkie
would be in a much stronger posi-
ton in Ohio if the names of himself
and Senator McNary appeared at
the head of single Republican
column. Many voters prefer to vote
straight ticket, a fact which I'M
doubtedly would have given the Re-
publican national ticket much of
the Bricker-Burton support.
But under the act of the Legis-
lature, an Ohioan can vote for the
Republican State candidates and
then decide on a separate ballot
whether he wants Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Willkie for President.
This does not mean that the State
and national tickets are not working
together. On the contrary, Gov
Bricker and Mayor Burton rode on
the campaign train with Mr.. Will
kie yesterday from Toledo to Cleve-
land. and introduced him at inter-
mediate points. And Mr.. Willkie.
in return, urged the people of Ohio
to elect both Gov. Bricker and Mr..
Burton.
If there should be another RooSe-
welt landslide, as in 1886, the sep
arate ballot in Ohio would serve to
lessen its effect on the State ticket,
but it was not aimed at Mr.. Willkie,
because it was adopted before there
was any thought that he would be
the Republican nominee.
Republican Workers Optimistic.
Even with the separate national
ballot, Republican party workers be-
lieve Mr.. Willkie will give the Presi-
dent a stiff race in Ohio Their
optimism rests partly on the con-
gressional victories they won in
1888, especially the election of Sen
ator Taft over former Senator
Buckley. 1t also is based, in part,
