Stars Do Superb Acting
In I'm This Our Lives

There's memorable experience
in store for you at the Kootenai
Theatre Sunday and Monday where
Bette Davis is at her superb best
in the starring role of Warner Bros.
dramatic film, In This Our Life.
Tie film is adapted from one of
last seasons leading best-sellers by
Ellen Glasgow The dramatic es-
sence Of the book is UNNECESSARILY
heightened by the brilliant perform
ance of Miss Davis, Olivia de Hav
illand, George Brent and Dennis
Morgan, who are aided by an out
standingly fine supporting cast.
The story of In This Our Life
is the tale of a selfish, inconsiderate
woman who wouldn't stop at muir
der if she thought it would benefit
her. The woman is Stanley Tim
berlake. played by Bette Davis,
youngest daughter in the once pow
erful Timberlake family. Her sell
fishness and thoughtlessness brings
misery to her friends, family and
finally to herhelf. One might call
her ruthless, if she were inclined
to plan or mediate, but it is her
impromptu actions that bring about
all the unhappiness She lives only
for her present without thought
to the future or to the consequences
her behavior may have on others.
The person whose life is most
changed by SANKEY'S behavior is
her sister Roy's, played by Olivia de
Havilland. who is married to Peter,
a promising young surgeon, por-
trayed by Dennis Morgan. Stanley
manages to have Peter divorce Roy
and marry her despite the fact that
she is engaged to Craig, a keen
lawyer George Brent's role).
1t isn't long before Peter real
ICES the mistake he's made. He be-
comes SO embittered by his own
weak behavior and Stanley's friv-
olous outlook that he commits sui
eide Stanley grieves his loss for a
very short time and then returns to
/ her family, not in the least regret
full for the havoc she has caused
In the interim Roy and Craig, who
have been brought together be-
cause of their mutual sorrow, have
fallen in love.
The role of Stanley is not a SYM
pathetic one and only a great act
ress like Bette Davis can do it full
| justice

"Our Schools
Is Theme of
Club Program

"Iincoln County schools have
kept abreast of the best instruction
al practices of the times without in
dulging in fads" was one of the sew
eral assuring statements made by
Mrs. Jessie Fagerberg, county SUI
perintendent of schools, who was a
guest speaker at the Libby Woman's
Club Tuesday afternoon. Continu-
ing. she said that self-reliance IS
one of the main detectives of the
teaching staff. Public school mu-
sic and other musical outlets are
available to every child, audiovlsual
facilities are increasing. buildings
have been modernized, school
lunchroons are operated. and other
improvements made in our schools.
Pointing out the fact that now more
than ever the children need de-
velopment into worthwhile citizens,
Mrs. Fagerberg stressed cooperation
between parents, teachers, ana ad-
ministrative officials.
Mrs Hugh McDougall, program
chairman for the day asked every
one to Join in singing School Days
in keeping with the subject OF the
afternoon. Our Schools. Mrs. O..
G. Gompf read paper prepared by
Mrs. E. M. Slauson on Character
Education in the Public Schools.
The modern idea is that it is the
business of the public schools today
to stress sound moral principles.
The Importance of character and
personality in a teacher cannot be
over-emphasized because they set
daily examples and guides for their
young charges.
The business meeting of the Club
with Mrs. Everett Dunn, first wee
president, in the chair, was opened
with the national anthem and flag
salute A letter from former
charter member. Mrs. L. +. Vinal

year books were handed out by the
committee.
In her Fine Arts report Mrs. Ned
Joughin spoke on music during the
war and said that music was one
of the three biggest morale build
ers. There is much singing being
done in New York by the crowds
on the streets, and the concert and
opera season will go on as usual.
Mrs. w N. Curtis in her Interna-
tional Relations report spoke on
+ part of Kipling's Recessional and
/ then discussed President Roosevelt's
/ talk and hoped that his postwar
aims could be realized. She also
urged members to study South
/ America. Defense committee mem
Der. Mrs. c. w. Gildea urged mem
bers to keep looking and take part
in the scrap drive.
Mrs. Walter Neils, Music chair
man, announced that one of the
aims of the State Music Department
was to encourage and promote group
/ singing within the clubs. In line
with that she spoke on the favorite
song, The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" which was written during
the Civil War. Mrs. Neils gave the
story of Julia Ward Howe's life and
how she happened to write the
words for this song which became
one of our country's well-loved
songs. Following this the members
joined in singing it with great spirit.
/ Hostesses for the very pleasant
and educational afternoon were Mrs.

the South Atlantic and from West

For lease-lend ships and ship
ping, nearly $4,000, 900 900 has
been authorized. On our East and
West coasts, on the Gulf of Mex
leo, and on the Great Lakes 26
shipyards are turning out lease
lend ships. Existing yards are
being enlarged and new ones
built.
Sailors Of British war vessels
and merchant ships have been
fed and housed here while their
ships were being repaired.
Lease-lend appropriations for
war on the land total almost S.
000, 900 900. This will go for ord
nance, for tanks, for miscellane-
GUS military supplies, and for ex-
panding production facilities IN
the United States. All this is aside
from supplying food.
To Great Britain have gone
guns, tanks, medical supplies, raw
materials, and machine tools.
These necessities are to 60 also
to Australia, New Zealand, India,
and South Africa. Several hum
dred American tanks have al
ready been in combat In the
North African campaign.
Aid to China is far from ade-
quate. But heavy machinery Of
various kinds has been sent. Ma
terials for the new railroad along
the Burma road have been sup
piled; also arms and ammunition.
Russia is promised $1,000, ,000,-
900 in lease-lend assistance by
June. American material has
been going to Russia since July,
paid for by Russia and not under
lease-lend. Lease-lend shipments,
still far from large enough, are
expected to be stepped up rapidly.
This will include large quantities
Of oil and gasoline.
Huge Food Supply Shipped.
The millionth ton of American
food has safely arrived in Eng
land. This has defeated Hitler in
his attempt, through submarines
and aircraft. to starve England
into submission. For a time this
was a real threat. AS long as pres
ent shipments are maintained,
Hitler will never starve England.
More than that, with fuller ra-
tions, British workers will be able
to increase their production of
munitions.
Food for England was a pri-
mary objective of the Lease-Lend
Act and Is one of the most sue
cessful parts of the entire pro-
gram. Over half q billion pounds
of meat and fish products had
been provided by the end of No
vember, 1941, in addition to hun
dreds of millions of pounds of
sugar, eggs, milk, fruits, vege-
tables, cereals, and grains. We
