Federation Delegate Olson
Is Auxiliary Policeman
Chillum Heights
Man FaVOrS
d. G.. Suffrage
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

II you are ever out in Chillum
Heights during a blackout you may
ind yourself taking orders from .
mild, soft-spoken auxiliary police
man by the name of William A.
Olson.
Mr.. Olson, delegate to the Fed
GRAFTON of Citizens Associa tions
from that area, has been with the
auxiliary police force since Deem
ber. He took the regular training
course, 20 hours of first aid and has
been doing patrol and special detail
work once week and during black
outs. Chillum Heights is a quiet
area, he pointed out, and the duties
have not been unpleasant, except
for one cold. windy night"
Came Here from Iowa.
Mr.. Olson is not one to talk much
about himself. When asked if he
had even been in civic work before
coming to Washington II years ago,
1t was his wife who volunteered the
information that he was on the City
Council of Nevada, Iowa, for four
ySoAo oiio Slty lOI
years. He was also a member of
the Community Club in the town,
where practically everybody takes
an interest in things affecting the
community" Nevada is a town of
$500 population.
A native of Iowa, he studied en-
gineering at Iowa State College.
He came here to work for the War
Department and is at present civil
engineer in the Office of chief of
engineers. Work on Saturday after
noon, incidentally, has played havoc
with his hobby of golf.
Mr.. Olson moved to Chillum
Heights six years ago this coming
month and, like a number of resi-
dents, joined the local citizens group
for general community betterment
from the home owners standpoint"
At one time chairman OF the Streets
and Alleys Committee, he was later
made chairman of the Zoning Com
mittee.
Defense Is Paramount
AS for association work. he merely
remarked that right now every
thing is centering around defense
activities" However, he did add
that the association was working
for completion of the south wing of
the Rudolph School and had In the
past sought new fire station in
the area.
Mr.. Olson lives right on, the border
line of the Northwest and Northeast
sections of the city, No I Milmarson
place NV. directly off North Capt.
tol street. Largely residential
area, and one that has been built
up pretty much in the last five
or six years, Chillum Heights
has some trading centers and the
association is one of the few that
takes in two sections of the city.
A delegate to the Federation for
three years, Mr. Olson said he had
no one particular interest. The
whole thing is quite interesting" is
the only remark he would make on
Federation work. H is a member
of the Rivers and Harbors and
Public Celebrations Committee
Mr.. Olson said he was in favor
of both national representation and
local suffrage Emphasizing that he
did not regard the ballot "as a cure
all" he said however, that he felt
it only fair" that the citizens here
have a vote.

rivers and harbors group, has been
called into the Army and Walter I.

to Mr.. Austin on the parks and city
planning group, has left the city.

Explosives Found on
Truck Load of
Scrop at roy

While WPA crew was engaged
Friday in loading scrap iron gath
cred by the school pupils of Troy,
canvas sack containing about halt
box of dynamite caps with fuse
attached was found on one end
of the truck. The loading was being
done shortly after | o'clock in the
afternoon and it is mystery how
anyone could get to~the truck and
place the explosives without being
discovered.
It is considered most fortunate
that the caps were not exploded by
the loading. because had they been,
some Of the workers would UNI
doubtedly been injured or killed
and the truck badly damaged. The
truck was county truck.
/ Some of the scrap came in from
abandoned mines and it was sug-
gested that the explosives might
have been resting in some piece OF
! the scrap and fell out when loaded
but this is not believed probable
The caps contained markings thai
showed they were made some time
ago, in fact, they were of type M
longer manufactured.
The matter has been turned ovel
to federal men for investigation

Finds Weather
BolIoon on
Horse Ronge

+. p. Warner is the latest Libby
man to find one of the parachutes
and instruments that are regularly
sent up by the U. S. weather sta
ton at Spokane He made his find
Sunday when his attention was at
tracted to bright red object hang
ing from tree on Horse Range. The
red object proved to be the red
silk Of the parachute, with the US
ual instruments for the recording
of weather conditions attached.
George Wood boxed the instru-
ments for Warner and they were
shipped back to Spokane, as the
finder is requested to do by a no.
tation on the package.
These instruments are sent up by
the Spokane weather office by bal
looms that are so constructed that
they will burst at certain stipulated
heights and let the instruments re-
turn to earth by means of para
chute. The one Mr.. Warner found
stated the height at which its bal
loon would burst was II miles. 1t is
therefore to be surmised that this
last find had explored the heaven:
and weather conditions at grea1
height. Warner said the case con-
tanning the instruments also held

Hunters Provoked
At Postponing of
|Chink Season

No small degree of evaporation
was aroused in the minds of large
numbers of Libby sportsmen when
the information reached them last
Thursday that the open season on
pheasant hunting had been post
poned a week by an edlct issued at
the last moment by the powers that
be. The season was to have opened
ON Sunday, Oct. Is, but was post
poned to open Sunday, Nov. |. Gov
ernor Ford explained this action
was taken on the insistence of a
large number Of sportsmen and so
as to leave men and boys to con-
tinue the work of closing up the
beet harvest.
But that explanation does not
smooth the ruffled feathers OF the
disappointed sportsmen. Many OF
them had made arrangements tor
the annual trek to the hunting
grounds. Plans had been laid ac-
cordingly. Much of the work that
was done ahead of time so as to
get away for few days of sport
now has to be done all over. And
this Montana pheasant hunting has
become so popular that hunters are
even coming from far distant points
to join in the fun. A member OF
the police force of Seattle had SC
| planned. He had arranged for 9
weeks vacation from his duties ano
was all ready to come to Libby tc
visit relatives and 60 after the
pheasants in the Poison area. He
doesn't care for deer hunting, sc
that pastime could not be substitute
ed for the anticipated one. Bu
come he did, anyway, and it is t
be hoped his vacation brought hin
its full measure of sport and re.
Taxation.
Anyway, some do insist that thu
beet harvest was all in. Be tina
as it may, we all know that mel
are merely small boys grown olde'
and all of US can remember how
: disappointed we were in boyhoot
days when an anticipated joyous ex-
: petition was postponed for no goof
reason whatever according to thu
boys view of the situation.
