Observes 100 Years
Of CothoIicity
In Montana
Members of St. Joseph's
Parish Recall History Of
Church at Breakfast.

Sunday marked the conclusion Of
the mission at St. Joseph's Catholic
church, conducted by the Rev.
Father A. Costello of Occur d'Alene
Ida Morning services were held
at GAS and 8 o'clock. After the 8
o'clock mass, communion break
fast was served at the Moose hall.
Ninety-two enjoyed the excellent
food prepared by the Women Of the
Moose. The tables were prettily
decorated with cut flowers. Elmer
Switxer, ST., acted as toastmaster,
presenting Father Costello who
spoke on The Centenary OF Cath
olicity in Montana"
Father Costello told how an Fri
quois Indian named Ignatz and "A
companions came to Montana from
st. Louis and told the Flathead In
dams about the Blackrobes. These
good Indians made several trips to
ST. Louis seeking some Blackrobe
to come to Montana. Father DeSmet
came, celebrated his first mass in
1910 at Stevensville on Rosary Sun
day, and established the first Cath
Ole mission October 1841.
From this humble beginning,
Catholicity has steadily expanded
in Montana the past 100 years
Mr. Switzer then introduced Fa-
Their Taylor who thanked the ladies
for serving the breakfast. He then
spoke on 1.-THE History of St.
Joseph's Parish" The first mass
was said July 80 1894 by Father Van
de Ven. In 1905, 81 Catholics came
here from Wisconsin. From then on
their ambition was the erection of
church in Libby. Mr.. Frank Pival
was the architect and contractor
OF the building committee which fl
nally provided for the erection of
the present church. Only Mr.. Pival
and Mr.. Dawson survive. In going
over the files OF the Western News,
Father Taylor found many refer
ences to activities sponsored by the
women, for the church funds.
Mrs. John p. Wall was in charge
OF instructing the children, and the
parish owes much to her unceasing
labors. Father Taylor extended an
invitation to Father Costello to visit
the parish at any time.
Mr.. SWitzer concluded the pro-
gram with "reminiscences of Libby's
early days.
The concluding services of the
mission were held at 7:30 with the
giving of the papal blessing to the
assembled congregation.

Work To Stort
Soon on Libby Bridge

The work of repairing the Koo-
tenai river bridge at Libby will be
started as soon as the successful
bidder for the material is deter
mined, said County Commissioner
James Mahoney this week. The
state highway department has called
for bids and the low bidder will
soon be known.

cred, Mr.. Mahoney plans to start
two crews at work laying the new

Boy Scout Drive
Brings in $383.77

The Boy Scout drive was carried
out according to schedule and the
response has been such that it Is
evident the people of Libby believe
in Scouting and are willing to back
their faith with liberal contribu-
tons. The various teams of solicit
tors representing the MillworkerS
Union, the American Legion, the
Auxiliary, the Senior and Junior
Women's Clubs, the Lions, the J.
Neils office and the Commercial
Club swung into action on Tuesday
and Wednesday with the result that
total of $38377 is now placed in
the State Bank to the credit of the
Boy Scouts in cash and pledges.
To the friends of Scouting who were
not in their places of business when
the solicitors called, the opportuni-
ty is still open to contribution
to the 1941 budget.
The fine response to the Scouting
program by local supporters indi-
Gates a belief that Scouting, Cub
bing and Girl Scouts are services
worth encouraging. 1t is now the re-
sponsibility of those directly con-
nected with these movements to
see that full value is realized on the
investments.
One definite result should be a
lively Scout camp this next fall at
Spar Lake as the summer camp Is
the high light of the years Scout
ing. The Troop Committee will
meet next Tuesday at the regular
Scout time and date. Any person
interested in the work is invited to
sit in with the committeeman on
planning the years business.
