The leaders, members and club
members's parents made an inspec-
ton tour of the projects of the mem
bers of FairvieW club on August 10.
The first stop was the Sivert farm
where John and Eldon had helped
with large garden for the family,
and showed what fine vegetables can
be produced in that community.
The Summerland home again proved
the garden possibilities, with the
work of Wallace and Franklin. At
the Lyseth home, Donald showed his
Jersey heifer to the group and Kath-
leen a remarkably fine exhibit of
sewing for so young a girl.
Garland was not to be outdone by
his brother and sister and showed the
group large garden. Then it was
too dark and roads were too poor to
visit more homes so the group went
to the leaders home, Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Pearson for business meet
ing and wiener roast in the yard.
All so thoroughly enjoyed this event
that it was decided to recall it next
Christmas when temperatures are low
and snow is deep.
The next meeting will be held at
the Ivan Hemming home on Septem-
ber 26.

Jas. Rubdrd.
Is Jap War
Prisoner

Mr.. and Mrs. John Rubard were
overjoyed to receive a Telegram
Monday night from the war depart
ment stating that their son, Master
Sergeant James Rubard, was a pris-
oner of war of the Japanese gov
eminent in the Philippines. It fur
Their said a letter would follow.
The good news to Mr.. and Mrs.
Rubard consisted in the fact that
this was the first word they had
heard from their son since the. Jap
anese took the Philippines. 1t was
known he was with the fighting
forces at Bataan and had been evac-
uated to Corrigedor but nothing had
been heard from him since that
time. It was not known whether
he was dead or a prisoner of war
Sergeant Rubard went to the
Philippines three years ago last
summer to accept a clerical posi-
ton with the army, that later de
veloped into active service wher
war broke out.

Would Move Families
Out of Spokane to
Other Cities

Because of the extreme shortage
of houses in Spokane, the chamber
of commerce of that city is assist
ing in a movement that seeks to in
duce a number of residents of Spo-
kane to move out into nearby COM
munities so as to make their homes
available to those engaged in neces-
sary war work.
The Libby Commercial Club is in
receipt of a letter asking if there
are any houses here available for
such families. The Libby club is
therefore asking anyone who has a
suitable house for rent to list it
with the directors of the club, K.
A. Klehm. acting secretary.
1t is hoped to be able to move
quite large number of families out
of the city for the duration by this
means. Unquestionably most of them
would be an asset for any COM
munity.

Two Libby Young Men Home
From Battles in South Pacific;
Ship Sunk, In Wafer 8 Hours

I'VE have had a crack at the Japs,
now just give US chance at the
Nazis,' was the expression OF two
Libby young men as they reached
this city on Through from service
In the navy. The young men were
Dewey Madison, IS year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey Madison,
ST., of this city, and r. G. Miller,
10 year old son of Marion Miller
of Spokane. They reached Libby
Tuesday
Both these young men have seen
plenty of fighting in the south Pa
cific. They were in the battle IN
which the airplane carrier, the Hor-
net. was sunk, and their own ship,
a cruiser, was also sunk when it was
struck amidships by Jap torpedo.
AS their ship sank, the boys sue
ceeded in getting onto a life raft
and spent eight hours on the rail-
and in the water. During much OF
that time young Madison's head
was held out Of the water by Miller
although Miller states he dd mol
know at the time whom ne was
thus helping. While in the water
] they were greatly alarmed when ar
airplane headed over them, they
thinking it was an enemy plane
They said they tried to hide IN tht
water, but were relieved when they
found that the plane was Y. ,
ship. Miller states that when they
were ashore on Guadalcanal, he saw
bag belonging to Harry Gram
bauer of Libby but did not get Z
see Grambauer.

President S
Ball Sponsored
By Moose
EU uVIv

Not having participated in the
nationwide affair for two or three
years, Libby will again stage Pres
ident's Ball, on the birthday Of
President Roosevelt Saturday jan
uary Both The success of the affair
is assured because the Moose lodge
has decided to sponsor the ball, and
when that large and energetic or
ganization gets behind a project it
can be concluded the affair will be
a success.
The Moose will inject somewhat
different idea into the affair this
year. Heretofore proceeds derived
from the ball were divided between
the local committee and the national
fund for the prevention and treat
ment of infantile paralysis. The por-
ton coming to the local committee
was to be used within the state for
the same purpose. This year the
Moose plan to divide the proceeds
half and half between the infantile
paralysis fund and Red Cross work
The Red Cross is SO active on many
war fronts the world round that il
is felt any donation to that worthy
work will be money well spent and
patriotic action.
The ball will be held in Moose
hall on Saturday night, Jan. 80
Tickets will be $1.00.

Libby Partial
BIockout Reported
AS Successful

I'VE were very well pleased with
the first practice blackout held in
Libby Monday night" stated j. A.
Krall, commander, in reporting on
the results Tuesday morning. "The
chief fire warden, r. H. Richards,
tells me the response could be
graded on an 30 to 90 per cent ba-
sis, while the cooperation was fully
100 per cent. What failure there
was to comply with the regulations
was due to a misunderstanding OF
some of the details and not to any
willful lack of cooperation said
Mr.. Krall
THE city was thoroughly patrol
led by the fire wardens and other
officers of the Civilian Defense or
ganization were also out checking
over results. A number of boys were
on the job as messengers. Take 1t all
| in all the results were most graf
flying.
| "A few cars had to be Tagged
down and directed to park at the
nearest curb, and a few lights were
left burning here and there but a
stated before, this was largely duo
to a misunderstanding.
THE greatest difficulty seemed
to be due to a misunderstanding
held by some people, that there
would be a signal sounded at tht
beginning of the blackout period
Some were waiting for that sigma
or alarm. This despite the fact tina
it had been publicly announced OF
several occasions that there Woult
NEVER be an alarm sounded excep
in case of an actual emergency
Again we wish to stress that point
An alarm calling blackout vii
NOT be given except in case OF al
emergency.
while we were much pleased
with the results OF this flfst praC
tice blackout, there was ample evl
dence to show that such practice
/ are needed" concluded Mr. kral
Commander Krall also wishes !
announce that there will be an IN
cident drill on Tuesday nigh
