War Hero
Talks To
-
Libby Groups
Young Man Who Helped
Bomb Tokyo Speaks
At Meeting Here.

1t was with great deal Of in
terest that large number of Libby
and Troy people gathered Tuesday
afternoon at lis o'clock at the
oppoxtunity--to see and Shear th0ixs
first war hero of the present world
wide conflict. And that war hero
was Sergeant Edward ]. Saylor,
Montana born boy who had par
ticipated in the air raid on Tokyo
and who later had been awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross. The
sergeant was bombardier and gum
ner on one of the raiding planes.
Sergeant Saylor came to Libby in
company with William H. BARLEY,
state administrator of the sale of
War Savings Bonds and Stamps,
and Fred j. Martin, deputy admin
istrator.
The meeting was held at the main
entrance Of the high school build
ing and was presided over by Mrs.
Jessie Fagerberg, chairman of the
county stamps and bonds commit
tee. She first introduced Mr.. Bart
ley, who complimented the local
committee on the record it had
made in the county. He also praised
the work women are doing
throughout the state in this con-
nection and said that where women
had been in charge of the COM
paign, the results had been uni
formly successful. He said there
was something all Of us could do
in the war work and that was to
buy stamps and bonds.
Mrs. Fagerberg then introduced
Sergeant Saylor, who spoke very
briefly AS the American planes
dropped down onto the city which
they had been assigned to attack,
they took the Japs completely by
surprise, he said. They flew at a
very low altitude, he said, partly
to confuse the anti-airplane gunners
and the more easily to hit their tar
gets. Practically all of the attacks
were made at not more than 1000
feet, he said.
Flew Very Low
The planes came in only Is to 20
feet above sea level, sweeping over
the paddy fields and pagodas at this
level The crews were astonished at
first when people waved hats and
handkerchiefs and cheered them as
they passed, not recognizing them
as American planes.
Sergeant Salyor told how Major
Greening and his crew underwent
probably the heaviest attack. -Four
new-type Jap planes flew at US
while we were still some distance
from Tokyo" said Major Greening,
in his account of the fight. "They
were behind us and seemed fairly
fast. We Rugged the ground as
tightly as we could and even flew
under some power lines in the hope
that some of the Jap ships might
crash into them. They didn't. But
we shot down two and the others
gave us little trouble, for by that
time we had reached the target
Sergeant Saylor also recounted
how another pilot enticed Jap fight
ers to follow him away from other
American planes when the pilots
ship had run out of ammunition.
Following Sergeant Saylor's talk,
the meeting adjourned with the Wis
itors going to the sawmill where
the sergeant again talked, at some
what greater length, to the work
ers there. The visiting party then
left for Kalispell where the SER
geant was scheduled to speak that
evening

IF 1T ever seemed to you that
l. the walls and ceiling of an attic
room were coming down on your
head you know how the owner of
this room felt before she began to
experiment a bit with wallpaper
and furnishings.
Large samples of wallpaper
were thumbtacked in place to test
them. Stripes only accented the
slant of the walls. Plain papers
brought out angles with sharp
shadows. Large designs made the
room seem smaller. Wide borders
made the ceiling appear to be even
lower. But when a paper with tiny
evenly spaced pattern and mar
row border was tried all these de-
fects seemed to melt away. The
long curtains with rufHes on three
sides also helped to make the cell
ing seem higher. Pink and white
striped material to repeat the
wallpaper color was used for the
chair cover and dressing table

way that she will also have some new experiences.
 Instead of staying on in the same town, trying to stay busy keeping house and cooking for herself, she could rent the house furnished and go to the city and get job.
 Even women without business ex- perience are getting jobs now-if they are intelligent, capable, and willing to learn.
 Of course, it will be lonely for her at first-and she may be tempted to give up and go back where every body is interested in what is hap pening to her husband. WIFE CAN "PERK UP" WITH NEW JOB, FRIENDS
 But it will be good for her to have to make new friends, to have to learn a new job, to have to perk up enough to get by in the business world.
 If she sticks it out, she'll be lead- ing life as different from the old routine as is her husbands. And she'll get great deal of satisfaction from finding out late in life that she can do something besides housekeep- ing.
 Of course, all that may seem like too much trouble to her. If so, she hasn't any right to envy her hus- band his last chance at adventure.

LET US HAVE MORE HUMIDITY Gold and damp is unpleasant be- cause 1t is cold, not because 1t is wet; and hot and humid is oppres- sive because 1t Is humid and not be- cause 1t is hot.
 Ordinary a midsummer tempera- ture of 90 degrees or higher is pret- ty oppressive up north or back east, yet a temperature of 95 or more is not at all oppressive in the south west, because the air is compara- lively dry. As everybody has heard many times, it is not the heat but the humidity.
 Because the amount of moisture vapor in the air Is the factor that makes hot weather hard to endure, we are often incliaed to believe that 1t is the excess of moisture or water vapor in the air that makes cold weather unpleasant. Until we ex- perience clear cold weather, that is, an atmosphere containing relative- ly little moisture when the temper ature is low enough to be called cold in any language, this prejudice against dampnesS is always upper most in mind.
 From the time when artificial heating begins in the fall until arti- ficial heating is no longer needed in the summer, most people suffer from excessively dry atmosphere. The air may contain enough mois- ture out of doors, but when it is heated up to 70 degrees F. or high CT, as 1t Is in most homes in the winter time, then the air becomes as dry as the air of the driest desert,
 and this dryness of heated air in homes, offices, shops etc., in the winter time is the main cause of dryneSs, cracking, irritation, chap ping and roughness of the skin, as it is of furniture coming unstuck and woodwork shrinking and warp ing and dispositions getting cranky and sour.
 A practical consideration which should interest every householder is the fact, which many have learned through experience, that an atmos- phere heated not above 68 degrees P. is comfortable enough for most children and adults if the humidity is fairly maintained by constant evaporation of water in the air, more comfortable than a tempera- ture several degrees higher with no provision for maintaining humidity. Here is the way to keep the fuel bill low and at the same time enjoy something like an ideal indoor cli- mate all winter.
 If you can't have built in humidi- fication in connection with your heating plant, you can always use simple tanks of water on radiator or register, with loops of absorbent wicking suspended over and trail- ing in the water to promote evapor- ation. Further information and ad- vice on humidification in pamph- let available to readers who write Dr. Brady, care of this paper, in- close three-cent-stamped envelope bearing. your address and ask for the pamphlet on Humidification.

Seldom does one of the United States contract bridge championship titles go to another country. How ever, this year the national mems pair championship was won by Rob- ert von Engel, a former Austrian baron who applied for U. s. citizen ship three years ago. and Aaron Goodman of Montreal, Canada.
 Here is 8 demonstration von Engel gives of the precision with which he counts hand down. On the first trick dummy played low and von Engel (North) won the jack with the queen. The ace of diamonds was forced out and East returned the deuce of hearts to take out dummys ace. T.ce re- maining diamonds were cashed, West discarding the three of clubs and six of spades, while East let go the deuce of spades.
 Won Engeps problem now was whether to try the spade finesse for the ninth trick. Nothing could be read from the spade discards, but von Engel decided from the club discard that West was dealt four clubs. If the suit were split 3-3, neither defender would dare let go a club without signal from his partner, and If East held the club length, he would let go a club rather than a spade. On this reading, von Engel cashed the ace and king of clubs, then led the ten of hearts. As he had ex- pected, East was bailed out of clubs and had to return spades after taking his three heart tricks.
