SoIory For Officials

At the regular monthly meeting
Of the Libby city council Tuesday
night, a committee was appointed
to study into and report on the
proposal to pay the mayor and the
chief of the fire department a nom
inal monthly salary. The mayor now
receives 500 year, so small an
amount that it hardly pays for the
gasoline consumed by whoever
holds the office, in the performance
of city duties. The fire chief !. is
paid nothing at present. There was
also some discussion about taxing
every lot to pay for the removal of
garbage. Those who have looked
into that matter say it cannot be
done, as such an act would be il
legal. 1t is said any such tax must
be for some definite improvement
to the property.
1t is said little can be done in
street maintenance more than is be-
ing done. City machinery is getting
old and it is now impossible to pur-
chase any new equipment under
war regulations.

Donates $50 to
InfontiIe Paralysis
Sufferer

Recently Don Hargreaves sent to
Mrs. Ted Pollette, in Billings hos
pital, the sum of $50 to help defray
costs of treatments she is receiving
following an attack of infantile
paralysis. This money is part of
the sum derived from Presidents
Birthday Balls of previous years.
Mrs. Polette writes letter to
MIR. Hargreaves acknowledging the
gift and further says THE nurse
who is giving me these treatments
has great hopes of saving my leg
and bringing it back to normal in
time. / am able to walk little on
my brace with the help of my
-crutches,- but / am still too weak to
be up very much" She said she
would probably be able to return
home in about two weeks.
Mrs. Pollette was very thankful
for the assistance and wished to ex-
press her thanks to everyone who
made the gift possible.

Two bills are pending in the leg
islature affecting the states thou
sands of sportsmen.
One, measure proposed by Gov.
Ford in his biennial message, calls
for appointment of joint interim
committee to revise the state fish
and game code. BY last weekend it
had passed the house with mini
mum of debate and reposed in a
senate committee.
The other bill, considerably more
controversial, would make the state
fish and game commission an cleo
tive body.
BY slender majority, it received
the approval of the house commit
tee of the whole, following some ar
gument over its constitutionality.
Proponents claim it would take
politics out of sportsmen's affairs
by allowing hunters and fishermen
to elect their own representatives
rather than have them appointed
by the governor.

New Law Has
Teeth For
Fire Settlers

| MISSOULA. - Recognizing that
the wiliful destruction of timber
and forage by fire or otherwise IL
form of sabotage comparable to
malicious damage to arms, am
munition, and other materials need
ed in the prosecution of the war,
Congress passed on December "a a
law imposing heavy penalties on
persons found guilty of such acts.
The new law, which is in the form
of an amendment to an existing
law, brings many additional items
under the head of necessary war
materials. Fines not to exceed $l0,-
900, Imprisonment not to exceed 80
years, or both may be imposed on
conviction.
The amendment indicates the
growing realization of the impor-
lance to the war effort of wood and
many other products of the forests,
both public and private, and of for
age SO necessary to the production
of meat, hides and WOOL" says w. j.
Deddick, State FFFS Coordinator.
1T puts teeth into the law and
should be great help not only in
stamping out incendiarism in tim
bered areas, but on agricultural and
range lands as we'll 1t will un-
doubtedly reduce the number of
fires set by carelessness. Persons
at this time should realize that it
will be hard to prove to the court
that extreme carelessnes was not
sabotage, or to draw the line be-
tween such carelessness and willful
intent"
Following is the amendment re-
ferred to: THAT the words, war
materials, as used herein shall in
clude arms, armament, ammunition,
livestock, forage, forest products
and standing timber suitable there
for, stores of clothing, food, food

ton and any part or ingredient
thereof intended for, adapted to, Oh
suitable for the use. of the United
States or any associate nation, in
connection with the conduct of the
war"
All law enforcement agencies will
cooperate in strict enforcement of
this law throughout the present war

Want Outdoor
Men For
Ski Troops
Army Seeks to Enlist
Minimum of 400
During Next As Days.
ADVISE APPLICANTS To
CONSULT LOCAL BOARDS

The Northern Rocky Mountain
{! Ski Association has begun an inten-
sive campaign to recruit a mini
mum of 400 tough outdoor men"
for the Army mountain troops
John H Morrison, chairman said
today.
The War Department needs 1000
rugged outdoor men for mountain
troops within the next As days, he
said, and has asked the help of the
National Ski Patrol to enlist these
men.
A large percent of these troops
should come from the Northern
Rocky Mountain Area, Morrison
said, as men who have had hunt
ing, fishing, trapping, camping.
prospecting, packing, guiding, lun-
bering, forestry and mountaineering
experience are particularly adapt
able to this unit.
The Northern Rocky Mountain
area embraces all of Montana and
the six northern counties in Wyo-
ming. Morrison has enlisted the
help Of the 20 ski patrols in the
district to help in the recruiting
program. Meetings in Billine1
Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Mis-
soula and Whitefish with high
and college men who are subject to
the draft, will be held.
Men who wish to volunteer for
the Mountain Troops should do 70,
through voluntary induction
through their draft boards but not
by enlistment. The National Ski As
ISOLATION can recommend special A.
signments, in advance, for men
whose applications they approve.
Morrison stresses the point that
candidates need not be skiers or
mountaineers. The requirements are
IAN ordent desire to serve in the
mountain forces and the physical
fitness obviously needed" Any
young man who is firstclass raw
material, will be considered
Information and application forms
may be obtained by calling on the
Lincoln County Selective Service

the applicant Immediately if his ap
plication is approved by them or
not. He should advise the NSP as
soon as he learns the date set for
his induction if he did not know it
when he made his original appli-
cation
AS soon as his induction date is
received by the NSP, the appli-
cants name and address is sent to
the Adjutant Generals office in
Washington, D. c. Within two
weeks, If the applicant is approved,
by the Adjutant Generals office, an
order is issued through military
channels, assigning the applicant,
upon induction, to an infantry
mountain regiment A copy of this
order is sent to the National Ski
Patrol and another to the applicant.
The applicant should keep his
copy as evidence of his special as
signmcnt to show at his reception

School Makes
Fine Record in
Stomp Sales

Sales of War Stamps during 1912
by the Libby schools reached the
surprising total of $3,32320. This
is record of whcih the pupils and
faculty can be justly proud and
which should entitle them to the
commentator of the entire COM
munity.
Another commendable record was
the amount of money raised by the
schools in the scrap drive. The sum
of $4,000 was derived from that
source and every cent of it was
turned over to the Red Cross.
