Our Schools
Defense Program

Civil defense is the responsibility
of every American. With all the
energy and ambition he or she IS
able to put forth. both young ana
old alike should do their part. Our
school defense program has enabled
the individual TO show his abilities
and willingness to aid our country
and all that it stands for. BY work
ing with the Red Cross and the 10
cal organizations. we can accomplish
the purpose or the goal which We
have set up for ourselves, --t1lis
program is a great interest TO all OF
us because We are all a part OF It.
If we are to make this a success, |
expect each one to do his part as II
is asked of him IN the various com
mittees. 1T
Since we students of Libby High
School have asked for and have
shouldered the responsibilities OF
the school defense program, every
one of us should be all out for
our own civil defense program.

Tex Debote
Continued from Page u

tConunued from rage ~
TO its bitter regret then and ever
since that time.
Now. my position in this matter
has been open and above board
from the beginning. | believe that
every person and corporation in the
county should pay their Just por-
ton of the taxes. Furthermore. I
am. not opposed To reappraisal of
the entire County if done by com
petent appraisers who have been
trained in such work But how do
we know that after the present in
vestigator has conducted his work.
we will have any better valuations
than before? What training has he
ever had in valuing real estate and
personal property What does he
know about prices of machinery
and other equipment Is he COM
petent to go onto farm or into a
store or an industrial plant and
place d true and fair taxable valua-
ton on it, Has he ever had training
in that line? / understand he is a
graduate metallurgist. We know he
was WPA county foreman here. Be
fore that he was employed in a road
camp. Is there anything in that
training to establish confidence that
he will be able to give better or
truer valuation Of Lincoln county
property than have the county as
SCISSORS for the past 20 years?
L am not opposed to a reapprais-
al but | want it done by competent
men and so it will not result IN a
wastage of the taxpayers money.
As / have said, large part Of the
$4,000 has already been spent rand
what are the prospects,
Furthermore. if there are in
equalties in property valuations,
! the law sets up a board of equaliza-
tion whose duty it is to adjust those.
inequalities, and that ought not TO
/ cost the taxpayers single extra
penny. That is where the work
oulht to be done
Il have yet to find a single tax
payer in Libby or vicinity who IS
favorable to this investigation. On
the contrary. dozens of them have
come to me day after day and con-
graduated me on the stand | have
| taken.
I'm the county we have $500 tax
able units In addition there are 600
who pay taxes on personal prop
erly. It would require about S20, 900
to revalue the taxable property in
the county. | am opposed to a 10
per cent revaluation.
MY solution for this is for those
VINO favor d revaluation of the
taxable property of the county to
place bond issue before the tax
oayers at the next election letting
4 the taxpayers decide the issue. This
IS the fairest and cleanest solution
4 that have to offer--the method
] that should be pursued in true
democracy"

Once upon a time there was a
little girl named Heppaline. One
day she went to school, She wore a
polo coat and long dark stockings
and white boots and earmuffs and
pretty bandanna. She wanted to
keep warm. Next door lived boy
named Peckendon, and he went to
school too. He wore a cap with at
tached ear-muffs, a finger-tip coat,
bright scarf, and galoshes. So he
don't worry about the weather.
When outer garments were re-

Speed Is Greatest
Killer on Highways

Speed. Thoughtless, useless, I'M
necessary speed. that is the killer
upon our highways. During the last
storm, while the roads were coated
with ice and snow, we experienced
a period of seven deathless days on
the highways of Montana Yes, sew
en- days from Nov. 18th to Nov. 18th
inclusive, without a traffic death.
Why? Because the drivers who used
our highways at that time knew
that they were slippery and that
high speed upon such roads was
dangerous. Knowing this, they cut
down their speed and the deathless
days resulted.
The storm however, was followed
by few warm days and the pave

Sleeping Late

Did you ever realize how hard
it is to get up in the morning?
During the holidays there seems
to be, at least it is probable, that
there is d national urge to stay in
bed late This would be of no con-
sequence, except when you want to
get up early and be on time for
some engagement You set the
alarm clock the night before, and as
you are not sleepy at the time, it
is set for ap hour or two early an
ticipating an early rise and much
time to get properly dressed But
when morning comes it is an alto
gether different story. Two hours
seem like a week and you decide
that just fifteen minutes more sleep
won't do anybody any harm. When
the fifteen minutes are gone, you
decide to give yourself just five
more minutes. Then you 60 to sleep
and dream that you are up and
dressed and fulfilling the planned
engagement. THEN = then you
wake up, look wildly at the alarm
clock, frantically Jump out of bed,
tumble for your pants, and after a
few more minutes Of dashing
around, you grab your hat and
coat and leave-without even cup
of coffee. r
