Dental Clinic Is
Now Under Way

The dental clinic, which is spon-
sored by the Senior Woman's club,
was started this week. Most of the
first and second graders have been
taken care of, and those youngsters
in third grade were taking their
turns at this writing.
Drs. Sherman and Hannigan
make free examinations of the chill
dren and dental health records are
kept for each school child during
the school year. Referal cards are
sent to all parents during the school
year when Miss Huchala, school
nurse, makes her examinations.
The Senior Women are able to
make the clinic possible each year
through the sale of tuberculosis
stamps. The sale of the stamps this
year will be in November. The par
ents are only asked to stand fourth
of the expense of the dental work.
Each child is allowed one filling
and two extractions. If the work re-
quired is of a complicated nature,
the parents are asked not to ex-
pect it to be clinical case.
Good teeth are important to your
child's health, comfort, behavior,
progress in school and personal APP
pearance. To safeguard these as
sets, the Montana State Board of
Health advises you to:
l. Feed your child protective
foods.
2. Have your child observe all
other essentials of healthful living.
3. Encourage your child to brush
his teeth regularly.
A. Take your child to your family
dentist for examination, necessary
dental care and instruction in oral
hygiene NOW.
5. Take your child back to your
dentist as often as necessary for
check up.

Libby Defeats
.Whitefish
q TOO
-
Evenly Matched Teams
Entertain Fans With
Interesting Game.
4O-YARD PASS ENDS
IN ONLY TOUCHDOWN

Coach Wilson's Libby Terriers
won over Wl1itefish on the local
grounds last Saturday by a narrow
6 to 0 margin. The lone tally in the
third quarter indicates the balanced
strength of the two teams and the
outcome of the fray was in question
until the final whistle.
Whitefish elected to kick and Lib
by was held for downs. The Terriers
kicked high spiral, and the situa---
ton was reversed with the Fishers
failing to make their yardage. A
see-saW punting duel with little adj
vantage for either side was broken
up when the Green and Gold UNI
corked reverse or two which re-
suited in consistent end run gains.
until the Terriers solved the play.
The half ended without score and
was marked by tight defensive play
ON both sides with most of the
scrimmage within the 40 yard lines.
In the third quarter, Chapman
cody maheuvered himself into a
position to shoot a 40-yard pass to
Williams, who galloped over the end
stipe for the only score of the game
The kick went wide and Whitefish
showed that they had the football
spirit by croWding the locals back on
the l0-yard marker by a series of
sweeping end runs. Then one of the
finest exhibitions of the game came
when the Terriers, with the charg-
ing Fishers within five yards of pay
dirt, held like dam for four furi-
GUS downs. Many Libby supporters
were prepared to see the Terriers
forward wall crumble under heavy
attack but any line that can stop a
determined drive under the shadow
of their own goal posts can be
rated as plucky as well as well
coached.
Superintendent Hinderman stated
that his boys played the best game
of the season against Libby and
that he was satisfied with the show
ing Of green material on both sides.
Delzer and Downing played their
last game with the Terriers before
the boys 60 into service and they
were jubilant to end their high
school football with the first win
over Whitefish. Delzer's speed and
defensive work will be greatly
missed and Downing will leave a
hole In the line that must be filled
by lighter man.
A large contingent of Whitefish
rooters accompanied their team.
The Terrier band in uniform added
pep and snappy music to make the
Homecoming Game a coIorful oc-
casion. Friday evening the Pepto-
mists put on their annual bonfire

Say Meeting
Was Most
Important

W. f. Winkler of Kalispell, chair
man of the state highway commits
sion, and State Engineer Fred E.
Buck of Helena stopped in Libby
last Thursday while returning from
Boise, Ida, where they had attend
ed an important meeting of rep
resentatlves of the five northwest
ern states, Montana, Idaho, Wyo-
ming, Washington and Oregon. The
meeting was called to consider
problems arising in the over all
development of the entire Colum-
bia river area. 1t is, in fact. an af-
tAGmath of the controversy that
arose some weeks ago when it was
proposed to create storage reser-
voirs of Flathead and Pend Orielle
lakes so as to secure a greater flow
of water through the power plants
at Grand Coulee and Bonneville on
the Columbia
Out of that controversy there is
now developing an organization of
the five northwestern states that
will work for the development of
the water and other resources Of all
the interested states. The meeting
at Boise was in line with that plan.
Both Winkler and King said the
Boise meeting was a most harmon
ious one. Representative Of the five
states were present as were also
army officers and officials of the
Bonneville power development. The
army officers and Bonneville men
took no official part in the proceed
ings, only sitting on the sidelines,
SO to speak, and acting in the ca
pacity of advisers.
King and Winkler were much
pleased with the general trend of
events growing out of the Boise
meeting. They feel that this over
all planning is the only successful
way to handle the problems that
come up under such conditions, and
they are confident that out of these
conferences there will eventually
come an coordinated plan for large
scale development throughout the
entire northwest section. And it is
only by such planning that the in
terests of the various states can be
protected, they stated The spirit
manifested at Boise was one of CO.
operation with the men from each
state watching to protect their in
terests yet ready to consider the
overall development and plan ac-
-eefaihgly
Governor Ford has taken q broad
gagged view of this matter, said
Winkler. He has stood steadfastly
from the very beginning of the first
controversy for the protection of
Montana's rights and yet he does
not adopt dog in the manger pol
icy; he is willing to work for the
development Of all the area as he
realizes this must be done if the
greatest good for the greatest num-
Der is to be realized
Everyone present at the Boise
meeting was much pleased with the
progress being made. Plans were
made for another such meeting to
be held in Spokane in the near
future.

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent

The carrot is an all-purpose
vegetable. It can be used in
Stews,, pot roasts, soups, and
chowders. It goes into vegetable
loaves, into sandwiches, and in
to salads.
A raw carrot is one of the best
salad joiners. You can shred the
carrots or cut them-in slender
sticks, in thin round slices, or in
cubes.
Shredded carrots and cabbage
make a simple salad that's in sea-
son throughout the year. Use a
salad dressing to hold the vege-
tables together. You may add
ground peanuts for variety.
Shredded carrot in a nodded gel
atm salad is great favorite, es-
pecially If you use a fruit-per-
maps home canned peaches, or
oranges, when they are in sea-
son.
For sandwiches with crunch
and flavor, use grated carrot with
chopped raisins, prunes, home
dried peaches or apples and sa-
lad dressing. Or, just use cream
ed butter with carrots chopped
fine.
Cooked carrots brighten any
dinner plate. Use the carrots by
themselves. Boil them with the
outside leaves of celery. This
makes mighty good dish and so
does cheese sauce poured over
cooked carrots.
ITS easy to cook carrots, be-
cause the color stays bright with
out any special care on your part,
and the vitamin A value remains
intact at ordinary cooking tenn
peratures. Cook carrots in as lit
tie water as possible and serve
this liquid with the cooked car
rots.
Sliced carrots should be cooked
for only 10 or Is minutes. If you
have tiny young carrots, you may
wish to boil them whole and this
takes about minutes longer.
When you have an oven meal,
you can bake carrots in a casse-
role with just little water added.
Carrots are high with nutri-
tionists.
