Davies Urges Increase
In Soviet War Relief
BY the Associated Press.

BY tho Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Joseph E.
Davies, former Ambassador to the
Soviet Union. chided the American
people last night for the compare
lively small amount of war relief
aid they had extended the Red
armies which he said stood "at the
ramparts of our civilization"
Mr.. Davies, speaking at a dinner
opening a campaign for $4,000, 900
for medical supplies for Russia,
praised the volume Of promised
military equipment being delivered
to the Soviet ally but added:
"The total amount of money
which the American public has con-
tributed to Russian War Relief.
Inc, is 81 400, 900 in contrast to the
500 ,000. 900 contributed to other
countries abroad.
1T is not enough to either satisfy
the self respect of the great busi-
ness community of the United
States or the great respect and
honor which we have for those
brave people who have given us the
priceless gift Of time by their
heroic resistance of Hitler. We are
the beneflciaries of their agonies.

Warns Parents!
Children Apt to
Be Killed

Some boy or girl in Libby is
going to get killed one Of these days
III d practice that is altogether too
common it not stopped" said Fire
Chief George Wood this week. ut
is the habit many youngsters have
of jumping onto their bicycles and
hurrying to every fire whenever the
alarm is sounded he continued.
They clutter the streets, weave
back and forth from one side of the
street to the other, get in the way
of the firemen, and are general
nuisance. The other day while the
firemen were trying to move their
equipment onto fire, the street
was blocked by four or five BIZ
cyclists riding along the street
abreast
"One of these days there is going
to be an accident and some child
will either be badly injured or kill
ed. When fire trucks are dashing
to a fire is no time for kid on a
bicycle to be racing along beside the
truck, weaving back and forth at
the edge of the street or dashing
around a corner into the path of the
truck" said Chief Wood.
Il am calling attention to this bad
practice in order to warn the par
ents, so that they will see that it
is stopped if they value the lives of
their children. The firemen most
certainly do not want to kill Libby
child. The parents ought to be
equally concerned
