Whoever would raise his

1T is the duty of the Holy
See and apOstolate to look after

that timely warning might reach a

to warn drivers but also pedestrians.

business in an eastern Montana city

deferred until he could return home
and talk it over with his wife. As
he boarded the train to return home
he says he was very undecided in
his own mind.
In idly passing the time away
while on the train, he dropped
asleep and slumbered away for
quite some time. When he aWak-
ened he glanced out the car win

his eyes was view Of the noun

And he is not the only man K
make such a decision. Others here
have come to the same conclusion
under similar circumstances.

THE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR LINCOLN COUNTY

son we are all learning from this
war; lesson which is being learned
with equal thoroughness by man.
agement and labor, by farmers and
consumers-is that the survival OF
the American way of life is abso-
lutely dependent on active COOP
Grafton among all major branches of
our society.
only as result of this coopera
tive attitude can we now feel GER
tain that we are going to win this
war. No one group could have
achieved our countrys amazing rec
ord alone. And no group can hope
to achieve its aims for the future
unless those aims are consistent
with the aims of the other segments
of our society.
In order to further close cooper
alton among all Americans, the
ideas and ambitions of each group
must be presented to the public for
final judgment. Any group which
does not take the public into its
confidence will stand little chance
Of making progress.
I'VE believe that labor, in the
past, has perhaps not been able to
90 as far as it should, in presenting
its views and explaining its prob
lens to that part of the general
public which lives in the rural areas.
Il sincerely believe that one of the
key men who can help in bringing
about harmonious relationships

our great nation is the editor OF

All Must
Work Together

We are so completely sold on the
superiority Of the American form
of government that we have little
time for any "isms" that come to
lis from other lands. This has Gre
ated in us strong suspicion Of the
underlying intentions of the C. /. o.
Since its inception it has been
charged with being communistic. In
fact, one of the men who were most
active in the original organization,
John L. Lewis, openly charged that
it was communistic at the time he
took his United Mine Workers out
Of C. l. O. ranks This history of
the organization makes us all the
more suspicious of the work now
being done by Sidney Hillman in
the political world and the aims
he is striving to reach. Hillman long
has been one Of the leaders in the
c. |. O. movement. He is Russian
born and we surmise he may have
brought to America with him, some
ideas tainted with the communism
of his native. land
1t is refreshing to contrast with
those suspicious the strong Ameri-
canism voiced by Matthew Woll,

How Many Pogons?

How many pagans have we in
Libby? Most people, if asked that
question, would say with surprise,
why none' And yet we wonder.
The Rev. H. Hasskamp is authori
ty for the statement that over half
of the children in Libby in school
grades ! to 8, have no church af-
filiation. To be exact, the number
was 300 out of $40. In other words,
300 of our children probably never
darken the doors of church. And
it is also undoubtedly true that
those 300 know little if anything
about the Christian religion. They
are beyond question being raised as
little pagans.
This same condition is true
throughout the nation. Doesn't one
find here part Of the answer to
what is causing the perplexing juve-
nile delinquency problem, a prob
lem that has the nation worried?
Director J. Edgar Hoover of the
F. B. l. was quoted in Mondays
papers with another disquieting re-
port. He reports another big in
crease in juvenile crime. Automobile
thefts have increased 1860 in the
first six months of 1914 over sim
liar period Of 1943 And the terri
flying part of it is that 64.5 per cent
of the thefts were committed by
youths under 81.
Hoover further said that "Gravl-
ty of the present juvenile delin-
quency situation is indicated by the
fact that ages II and Is predomi-
mated in the frequency of arrests for
males and females respectively
If we have 800 little pagans III
Libby is it any wonder that now and
then we contribute our proportion
of those who are in the tolls Of the
law because Of crimes committed2
1t would seem to us that one of the
first steps to take is to reduce the
number Of pagans.
A number Of Libby Sunday
schools are resuming their sessions
after summer vacations. Are your
children regular attendants in one
of those schools? Are they attend
ing SO as to learn therein the funda-
mental foundations of the Christian
religion? Are they being given the
advantages of being indoctrinated
in their young, formative years with
the precepts of right thinking and
right living?
To the parents Of Libby and to
every other parent who may be
reading this, we would say that old
proverb is still as vitality true as it
was centuries ago when it was ut
tered-bring up a child in the way
he should 60 and he will not depart
therefrom when he is old.
Let's reduce the number of pa
gans in Libby2 See that your chill
dren attend Sunday school.
