Are Women Helping
To Win Woro

Are women doing anything to
help win the war?
They are.
In order to show the ways in
which women are helping. the gov
eminent has prepared a special
motion picture film on the subject.
It's title is WOMEN IN DEFENSE.
This is distinctly not Hollywood
staging. The scenes showing women
in war activity were taken on the
spot, and without pre-arrangement.
Everything was done to be factual
about the whole matter When the
individual scenes were shot, the
whole was put together to show a
continuity. Eleanor Roosevelt was
invited to pre-view it, and as a
result she then wrote a common,
tary. Katherine Hepburn furnished
the voice for the soundtrack.
Movie critics have adludged the
film as technically excellent and
with dramatic forcefulness that
develops from its sheer realism.
The picture has been booked as
a special feature at the kootenai
theatre in Libby on March 81.

Dealers Must Ship In

and tubes they have on hand into
certain designated centers. The
government will pay for the stock
thus taken over, allowing certain

Little Interviews

Tremors of excitement were
noted this weekend among Libby
persons who were touched by re-
verberatons from west coast
emergency measures. Specifically,
friends have been interested in rel
atives who received inquiry from
west coast officials relating to IA
cilities here for caring for addition
al children. According to these Of
ficials. children are being finger
printed, their clothes being marked
and a search is under way among
friends and relatives with homes
cast of the Cascades to determine
where children might be sent in
case they had to leave the coast.
Various persons have been asked
this week if they believed japanese
invading troops could be landed on
our western shores. Said Mrs.
Honora Hafstad, Certainly the Japs
can land here Id hate to con-
slider it remote possibility ana
then have it happen The I'M
possible has happened so often re-
Gently and cost us so dearly that
its about time we raised our linn

position has always been our great

problem in winning this war.
The Rev. Walter Specht said he
supposed 1T absolutely possible for
/ them TO come in and bomb us right
here-depends somewhat OF course
on the west coast defenses.
jim Hartigan had lot to say on
the matter including, Planes can
