Lincoln
County Far
Over Quota
Sum Asked Is
Exceeded By Close
To $67,OOO
CHAIRMAN EXPRESSES
THANKS TO WORKERS

Lincoln County has gone well
over the top in the Third War
Loan drive. The quota for the coun-
ty was S206, 10000. The amount, in
cash, taken in to date is S274,914.75
or 1880, putting the county $685.
7l475 above the quota This figure
shows that when the people of Lin
coun county are called upon to do
their bit toward winning this war.
they not only do their share but a
lot more besides
However, do not think that this
means that we may now relax, says
DIR. l.. Mossman, chairman The
Government needs more dollars ev-
cry minute for the prosecution of
this terrible fight for freedom. Each
and every citizen of Lincoln county
and of every county in this great
country must buy War Bonds to the
limit every month. The more we
buy as we go along the less we
will have to raise when the next
War Loan drive is put on. An extra
bond may mean that when the
fight is over an extra fighting man
might come home. Let us all buy
War Bonds till it hurts. That little
sacrifice will still be far less than
the sacrifice now being made daily,
yes hourly, by the boys in the bat
tie zones
The chairman of the Lincoln coun-
ty drive wishes to express his
thanks for the splendid cooperation
and support given by the county as
a whole, and particular thanks to
the members of the Libby Lions
Club and other men of all towns
in the county for their untiring eff
forts in the house to house can
vass, to the ladies of the Libby
Womans Clubs for their efforts in
handling the advertising and the
War Bond booth at The Founain,s
to the proprietor of The Founain
for the space made available for
that booth, to the Western News
for its aid in putting this drive
across in such big way, and to all
other persons who have assisted in
any manner whatsoever. The chair
man alone can not put over a drive
Of this type any more than a gem
eral single handed can win battle.
1t is to all you people of Lincoln
county to whom the credit must 90
for our success in raising such
large sum of money.

Rush Gift
Mail Before
October IS

A comparatively few Christmas
parcels are being mailed to over
seas army and navy personnel, re-
ports Postmaster Forrest De Rosia.
He fears the public is negligent in
this matter and urges them to re-
member that no Christmas packages
for overseas mailing can be accept
ed by the postoffice after October
To- There is only one possible ex-
ception. A parcel can be mailed af-
ter that date provided the soldier
or sailor sends a written request for
it. 1t has been pertinently said that
no soldier or sailor should have to
ASK for a Christmas gift.
That's positive ruling of the
Government. De Rosia therefore
urges relatives and friends to pre-
pare and mail at once any gifts they
may be planning to send to overseas
men in the armed forces.
Reasons for the early mailing arc
the vast distances the parcels have
to be transported to reach the men
at war fronts the world over. and
frequent transfers of thousands of
men from one location to another,
which means time consumed in
forwarding the parcels.
If the parcels are not mailed
carly, the delay may be Just enough
to prevent their arrival by Christ
mas day. Mail of all kinds is vital
to the spirit of fighting men. Every
officer who has inspected postal
facilities overseas reports that
thousands of fighting men disre-
gard mess call when it conflicts
with mail call, and get their letters
first. Officers report distinct lift
in the spirit and efficiency of the
men when mail is distributed.
A disconsolate soldier or sailor
who thinks he has been forgotten
at Christmas obviously is not at his
best. So the gifts MUST be mailed
on time SO that they can arrive on
time.
The parcel must not exceed five
pounds, and must not be more than
is inches in length or 36 inches in
length and girth combined. 1t should
be marked Christmas Parcel so
that It may be given special atten-
lion to insure its arrival before De-
cember Is
Not more than one parcel may be
mailed IN any one week to the
same member Of the armed forces

A group of forward-looking cit
liens was not content to sit back
and wait until some organization
saw fit to sponsor recreation room
for the Libby teen ayers. This
group, composed of Mrs. Lewis
Schikora, Mrs. Orval Murray and
Harold Gompf, has begun to work
on the problem.
A notice was posted on the bull
letin board at the high school and
many favorable comments were re-
ported from the students. Two of
the teachers offered to subscribe
S. a month toward such a project
and one instructors enthusiasm car
ried him away to the extent that
he said he would donate his entire
months salary
Those who have previously ex-
pressed a. desire to help will find
opportunity knocking at their doors
Monday evening when an organ
ization meeting has been called.
The meeting will be held at the
City Hall, starting at o'clock.
A routine meeting is planned and
it is hoped to elect officers who will
carry out organization plans. The
teen-agers will have to be organ
lied too, as the project is to be
their responsibility as well and they
have declared themselves to be
ready and willing to cooperate.
At the meeting Monday night it
is hoped that a club room will be
decided on and arrangements made
for securing it. Mrs. Schikora
stated that high school students
have offered to supply the music
for dancing
This meeting is open to the pub

urged to attend. Remember the

Clinic For
Crippled


Fall clinics for crippled children
of Montana will be held as usual
bv the Division of Service for Grip
pied Children of the Montana State
Board of Health. Every measure is
undertaken to discover, diagnose
and treat the condition and see that
the treatment recommended is fol-
lowed through to its conclusion.
Eleven clinics will be held
throughout the state this fall Spe-
cially qualified medical and nurs-
ing personnel is in attendance at
these clinics. 1t is believed that
this type of service is especially
valuable now since difficulties and
restrictions concerning travel, plus
depletion of medical specialists in
the field of orthopedics, make indi-
vidual consultations harder to ar
range
DR.. Thomas NJ Leonard, Director
of the Crippled Childrens' Division,
personally directs the clinics and
examines patients to determine the
general physical condition and de-
tect any organic defects, in addition
to the examination givin by the or
tf1opedists.
Any person under 81 years of
age, suffering from Gripping CON
dition is eligible for examination,
but only those who are in economic
districts art eligible for hospital
care under this service. Persons at
tending for the first time should be
referred by their family physician,
who should report his findings of
the physical examination to the
orthopedist in charge Some pa
tients need only supervision and di-
rection by the orthopedic nurses,
who work under the direction Of
the orthopedist and give supervision
in exercises and treatments Public
Health Nurses will be in charge Of
the clinics. Appointments for ex-
aminations at the clinic should be
made previously with Paul K.

Dwellings Struck In
 Electric Storm Here
Bremen Experience Busy Evening; Electric Light
 Crews Respond to Call for Immediate Repairs

Little relief from the humidity which gripped the city yesterday was furnished by last nights thun- derstorm, one of the most severe eX- perienced here in some time, as an- other day of heat appeared in store. The storm, which lasted nearly four hours, brought more than an inch and a quarter of rain, disrupted power service in various parts of the city, and sent out 10 fire com- panies in response to direct light ming hits.
 Eight fire engines were sent to the Town Plot section shortly after 10 o'clock when hits were reported at 893 Highland avenue at premises owned by John DeBiase and at SIS Washington avenue, property owned by Theodore M. ValaviciuS. Two alarm turned in by occupants of a house at 1104 Pearl Lake road, oWn- ed by Armand St. John.
 Bremen returning from Highland avenue alarm left their engines to direct traffic at the intersection of Highland avenue and Washington avenue when they met the com- panies responding to the Washing ton avenue call. Presence of a large number of cars, and half a dozen engines which arrived at the inter- section at the same time, created difficulty for the ladder truck in making a turn, and a short delay resulted until the streets could be cleared.
