Will Honor Labor
With Exercises
Next Sunday

Nine years ago this fall the Lum-
Der and Sawmill Workers Unior
of Libby, with the Libby business
men cooperating, started celebrating
Labor Day in big way. The pro-
!, gram heretofore included a base
! ball tournament for a couple OF
days, closing with speaking and a
varied list of sports on Monday,
with dances on the Saturday night
preceding.
The day that has long been ded-
icated to American Labor will
again be celebrated this year but
in less pretentious way because
Of war conditions. There has been
no baseball this year and conse-
quently there will be no tourna-
ment However, there will be the
usual program Of dances and sport
events.
In order TO leave Monday open
for work at the saWmill If it was so
desired, the Union members voted
to hold the celebration on Sunday,
Sept. s, instead of on Monday.
Therefore, the opening dance will
be held on Saturday night at Cedar
Creek with the remainder of the
exercises held Sunday afternoon.
The program will start at
o'clock Sunday afternoon, with a
parade from Boulevard avenue,
down Mineral to the ball park.
This will be followed with an adj
dress by M. D. Rowland.
The program of sports will in
clude boys and girls races, BIZ
cycle races, men and Women's nail
driving contests, log saving and
chopping contests, fat men and
women's races, three-legged races
and number of other novel and
amusing features. One of the big
events will be the water fight,
staged by two picked teams Of the
Libby fire department.
The Union and the business men
urge everyone to come and bring
the entire family and join in
happy, care-free celebration of the
big day dedicated to American
labor.

Says Union Men
Willing To Work
On Labor Day

In order to correct any disun-
derstanding that might be floating
around, | should like to explain that
the local Union was more than will
ing to work on Labor Day" said l..
B. Midyett, president of the Lum-
Der and SaWmill Workers Union,
While discussing the matter on Mon
day. "The men fully realize the need
of keeping up all war work and had
voted to work through the Labor
Day holiday. They made arrange
ments to hold the annual Labor Day
celebration on Sunday instead of the
usual Monday, to follow out their
decision not to lay off as usual this
year on the big holiday. This de-
cision was reached after a full I'M
derstanding with Mr.. NeiIs How
ever, conditions coming up later
have caused Mr. Neils to change his
mind and because of the present diff
ficulty in keeping an adequate sup
ply of logs, | understand he has de-
cided not to operate the plant on
Monday. This decision was reached
because there is not enough logs on
hand.
1T should be understood that the
men were willing to work on Labor
Day and will still do so if the logs
can be supplied. However, the I'm
ion has decided to go ahead and
hold the Labor Day celebration on
Sunday as has been planned said
Mr.. Midyett.

Call Goes Out
For Many Woods and
SowmilI Workers

Experienced Woodsmen and saw
mill workers are in demand at many
OF the plants operating in Flathead
and Lincoln counties. Orders for
various of these skills are on file
with the United States Employment
Service in this city and are being
relayed to other Montana offices of
that service in areas where such
experience is likely to be found.
Included in the orders are open
lngs for lumber grader stationary
engineer, edgerman, Zimmerman,
ripper, cutter, green chain man, dry
chain man, general saWmill labor,
choker setter. camp flunky and
faller. Most acute need as reflect
ed in the records is for fallers. I'M
mediate employment could be pro-
vided 30 tor 100 experienced fallers
at rates substantially higher than
have prevailed in recent years.
Production of timber and lumber
for war uses makes this an essen
tial industry in the war program,
one which must be prosecuted sue
cessfully if America is to meet her
responsibilities.
Employers requirements of age
limitations and physical condition
of logging and lumber workers may
later be relaxed to bring other
groups of potential workers into
eligibility, but for the present the
standards remain unchanged. Some
hope has been expressed that COM
pletion of the principal farm har-
vests in September will release
some experienced men for woods
work. Likewise the closing of park
and forest season of maximum EN-
ployment may afford measure of
relief to the hard bitten lumber in
dustry.
Persons interested in and quail
fled for employment in any of the
occupations listed are invited to
consult the Kalispell office of the
u. S. Employment Service.

Thrilled Over
Joining W. A. A. c.
''They had to de-hydrate me three

Cluzon, recently indicted into the

terviewed about her recent expedi-
ton to the induction cente. al
Butte. Miss Cluzon is one of five
women selected from Montana for
the Women's Army, who will be
trained at Des Moines, Iowa.
Miss Cluzon sent her first appli-
cation in for joining the Women's
Army, during the earlier part of the
summer. At this time examination
headquarters were at Missoula but
when the deadline came, she was
unable to report, so decided that
her chances for getting into the
service were gone. Later in the
summer, however, she received an
other application to fill out and re-
turn to the induction center in
Butte. Before she had time to get
it in the mail, another letter came
with check covering transporta-
ton to Butte and back, and all ex-
penses while there!
She reported Immediately for ex-
animation and says that she was put
through the most tricky and diff
cult aptitude and rigorous physical
tests imaginable.
THE examination was equivalent
to that which is given to the officers
in the mems army. We were given
one hour in which to write the APP
titude test, and it was so long that
none of us completed it. The ques-
tons covered every field imagin-
able-music, sports, radio, mathe-
mates and any number of others.
After passing our tests we had to
take an oath and then were sworn
in just like all other draftoes:'
Thus was Miss Cluzon's descrlp-
ton of the tests.

But managed to get around that
