REEMpL 0yMENT
 OFFICERS FOR
 DRAFT NAMED
Soldiers Must Step Into Old Jobs After Service,
 Says Gruening

Every soldier enlisting in his country's service is entitled to feel and know that there will be a iob waiting for him when ne returns. ' Gov. Ernest Gruening declared to- day, announcing the appointment of special unemployment official for each local Selective Service board in the Territory.
 Pointing out that not only does the law require that positions be held open for men in service. but that it is moral and patriotic responsibility of all employers to make certain these men be reem- ployed, the Governor said the task of the officials named today will be to see that the Selective Serv- ice law providing for the rehiring of selective men is complied with. Gov. Gruening stated, however, that reports from local boards in- dicated that the vast majority Of Alaskan employers of selectees and other returning soldiers have the disposition to exceed rather than evade their obligations under the law. He is confident, he said, that Alaskan industrialists, and employ CTS generally, will cooperate with the Selective Service System and the Territorial Employment Office to see that every man from the Territory who has served faith fully in the Nations armed forces will obtain a job when he comes home.
 The list of unemployment offici- als is as follows:

Let's hope that Martha doesn't
come along with Poison Friday
night because we might lose the
game if she does. Bill Martin was
i'm flutter as she watched him last
weekend and therefore his playing
wasn't quite as strong as usual.
Even if Libby lost the game last
weekend, the boys had lot of fun.
1t seems as If Harry Bouton has a
cousin in Kalispell and he had to
take Howard Eggert with him when
he went to visit her.
At the junior class party Satur-
day night Katie hampton spent her
enjoyable moments dancing past
the gym door to flirt with a couple
Of grade school boys who were
peeking in.
Jenny and Mutt sat out many of
the dances j. in the hall
talking about their sore feet
1t they got tired of dancing, Betty
Stamschror and Roberta Lewis
would play dice with Bob Roberts.
Maybe the girls were matching to
see who would be Bob's next dance
partner.
Did you notice Tommy Brinton's
interest in art? Surely you observed
his collection that was strung across
the front OF the assembly.

Mas Production
OF Airplanes Unlikely

The tremendous difficulty OF apply
ing automobile mass production
methods to the building of airplanes
for war purposes is such that in
the opinion of Sir Hugh Dowding,
British air marshal now on visit in
this country, it is not likely to be
surmounted.
Sir Hugh picked up report from
Detroit that the United States army
had insisted on change in piston
rings and pin just as the auto
engine people had gotten squared
away for production.
THAT is a perfect illustration" he
said. You can put an engine on
a block and run it for the required
number of hours. 1t will function
perfectly. Then you put that en-
CINE, or another precisely like it,
in an airplane and send it up. Some
thing may 60 wrong, which did not
develop in the block tests. But If
you find that the engine must be
taken down, and new piston rings
and pins put in after every flight,
then obviously there must be
change in that engine.
Obviously, there are always inn
provements and always changes.
They will go on. The latest improve
ment may be the deciding factor in
the battle in which that plane en-
cages. But there are different vari-
cites of change. One is essential.
That is Illustrated by the case Of
that engine with faulty piston rings
and pins. Another might be illus
trated by change which would get
20 more horsepower out OF an en-
CINE"
Sir Hugh was most interesting in
his comments on why the much ad-
vertised Italian air force had been
such flop in the war. He laid it
to two reasons. First, that the
Italians as individuals had no stom-
ach FOR the war.
The second was more military
Italian planes and aviators are def
initely inferior to the British.

Music Notes

Every year the students in the
music department look forward to
the Lincoln County Music Festival.
This year the festival will be held
at Eureka on April 18th. One hunL
dred students from the grade schools
and high school will journey to Eu-
reka that day to participate in an
interesting program. During the
morning the bands Of Eureka, Troy,
and Libby will join in rehearsal
of the four numbers which will be
played by the combined band of
over one hundred pieces on the ev-
ening program. AT noon the three
bands will take part in a parade,
complete with drum majors and
baton twirlers. During the after
noon a massed chorus of almost
$50 voices composed of singers from
all three schools will rehearse. I'm.
mediately following this rehearsal
each school will put on half hour
program for the students of the 9TH
er schools. The public will be in
vlted to this program.
The evening program will consist
OF three numbers performed by
groups from each school and three
numbers each by the massed band
and chorus. A new feature this
year will be a stirring finale in
which the massed band will accom-
pany the massed chorus. The mu-
sic which has been chosen for this
number is one of the best of the
new patriotic songs written for band
and chorus.
Negotiations are under way to OBJ
tain the services of men from the
music department of the University
OF Montana to conduct the massed
groups. These men, whose names
will be announced later, will also
perform on the evening program.
Mr.. Gresham, Mr.. Roberts, and
MIR. Sargent, music supervisors
from Eureka, Troy, and Libby, who
have spent considerable time max
ing careful plans for the festival,
assure US that it will be bigger and
better than ever before.

Does Good Work
In War Relief

Two active women workers in
the Libby Red Cross remarked to
the reporter yesterday, I'VE have
an item of news that we think you
will be glad to get. 1t is about the
good work of Libby woman, and
when one considers what she has
done it makes some of the rest OF us
feel ashamed.
The item had to do with the good
work of Mrs. John Katarzy, ST., and
in passing let it be known that Mrs.
Katarzy was not aware this was to
appear in print
Mrs. katarzy already has one son,
Walter, serving his country. as a
volunteer in the marine corps. She
has another son, Francis, who also
has volunteered for service in the
army and it waiting to be called.
The other day this good woman
brought a large bundle of clothing
to the Red Cross to be sent where
it could do the most good. It con-
sisted Of sweaters, overshoes, dress
es, caps, blankets, etc.
But that wasn't all In converse
ton, the ladies got out Of her the
fact that she had done considerable
crocheting and has sent bundle of
such work-tablecloths, chair sets,
laces, etc.-to an organization in
Chicago working for the relief of
war refugees. Mrs. Katarzy's ar
ticles were ratified off and brought
in $4,000. which went into the
refugee fund.
After reciting this item was when
the lady reporting the incident re-
marked that Mrs. Katarzy's gen.
crosby made some of us feel
ashamed"
Mrs. Katarzy, so it was reported,
is also very interested in watching
the progress of the war in Europe
and is very anxious to see Britain
win.

In Retrospect 1860
(Senior Snapshots)


The startling blondness of Harry
Bouton's silken tfesses drew my at
tention Immediately to his picture
when | opened my photo album
again.
Harry, / remembered wildly, was
that quiet pleasant senior who
made his letter ON that spectacular
Western Championship football
team A faithful, energetic player,
Harry turned out conscientiously
for three years both in football and
basketball.
With the capitalization of I'm
Just Wild About Harry" this blonde
senior began lodging the Pepto-
mists whose singing of that song
invariably managed to cause Har-
rvs complexion to change slowly
from pale pink to deep scarlet
The last year he was in school
Harry found his particular niche in
the world of business. Beginning as
part time chef at the Caboose, Harry
became proficient at the art Of
singing hamburgers. Thus his sue
cess as Harry The Hamburger
Host" did not in the least surprise
those who knew him way back in
l94l.
Opening up our class of Al al
bum, Harriet Sleizer comes to mind
again How interesting her school
days werel AS first grader, she
was quite the heart smasher. She
used to save a seat for Bill Martin
when the little tots sat in a circle
to read insensate fairly tales but
disaster came to Harriet in her ear
ly childhood Probably her biggest
grade school hero was Howard Eg-
CERT, who threw snow balls at her
all the way to Sunday school Get
ting along in her grades, Harriet
was one of the best spoilers in the
class. She applied her knowledge
when she was in junior high school
and was sent to the County Track
Meet to represent our school. When
she was in the eighth grade, she
was initiated into Honor Society.
As freshman in high school, she
took great delight in sending out
mouth watering odors from the
home economics room, where she
spent most of her school time. BY
the time Harriet was a senior, her
ambition was to be stenographer.
She was a shark in commercial SUBJ
Jects and SO her career began as
soon as she graduated from dear old
Libby High.

EDITORIAL

When President Roosevelt was SO
years old he was stricken with in
fantile paralysis. Although his case
did not seriously cripple him, il
left him partly paralyzed and re-
stricted the use of his legs. His
own case inspired him to start the
infantile paralysis fund which is
for the aid of children affected with
this disease.
We are asked to contribute to this
organization, The March of Dimes,
only once year. When we think of
the thousands of crippled children
who will never walk again, and that
this fund is to help them, ones
sense of human sympathy should
compel him to contribute at least
one dime to this great cause.
II most of us were to put our
selves in the place of some cripple,
who cannot see, or maybe cannot
use his arms or legs, we would not
contemplate very bright future
Do you suppose that the people who
innocently face these difficulties
have any better hopes than you
would in their place. Would you
not want to feel that you had a
chance of becoming useful, intel
Igent citizen, if you were manned
through no fault of your own
Some time ago it was mentioned
that if everyone in our high school
gave dime for a certain cause, it
would amount to about 20 dollars.
Couldn't we all spare dime or two
for this real human cause that will
relieve the suffering of thousands
who are less fortunate than our
selves?

WASHINGTON. -Trenendous de-
mand for workers in the defense
industries may be the straw on the
proverbial camel's back that will
produce such strong advance in
prices that imitation viii be with US.
Despite all the possibilities for
imitation which have existed now for
so many years, and despite the fran
tic inability OF investors to And any
thing that seemed 4 perfectly salts
factory hedge" against imitation,
prices have really not advanced
Ever since the government com.
mandeered gold. one Of the stock
questions for argument among econ.
omists has been. Suppose you had
100000 to invest and we're worried
about imitation, what would you do
with it,
This question is more pertinent
now than ever. and no one knows
the answer.
Some people with little money,
and some with a great deal, have
bought farms. Some have bought
unimproved real estate, and some
loW-cost buildings. But with local
taxes on the upscale everywhere, il
is questionable whether, over a Pc
riod Of time, these hedges" will
prove sound.
1t would seem obvious that bond
selling close to, or above par, is NOT
a good thing to have If initiation
comes. The dollars will be worth
less. Yet there has been no weak
ening of sound bond prices since the
latest signs pointing to higher prices.
SAVINGS DEPOSITS RISE
II would also seem a certainty that
money in savings banks would not
be good notion il ones dollars are
to be worth less-yet there has been
no falling off in savings banks de-
posits. Quite the contrary.
The demand for workers, and es-
pecially skilled workers, by the de-
Tense industries is practically GER
tam to result in considerable wage
advances.
Fatter pay envelopes may not
have much logical connection with
higher prices at the stores for every
thing one buys, but the two things
60 together; always have and prob
ably always will.
In the period Just ahead. more
over. there is another element cal
culated 10 bring about an advance
of prices. This is the almost GER
tain restriction, as the situation de-
velops, of industries regarded as I'm
necessary to defense. This will
naturally produce shortage in the
articles made by these industries,
and this spells inevitable advance in
the prices OF those articles.
More direct, however, are the I'M
avoidable effects on cost of produc-
ton of nonmihtary articles. For II
the defense industries are raiding
others for workers, and the defense
workers succeed in prying out wage
increases, wage advances in the
OTHER industries are inevitable So
that the basic cost Of nondefense
articles will actually, though in
directly, be forced up by the defense
Industries.
