Urged to Register
Discharge Papers

The Mountain District Veterans
Association on Sunday organized at
the city hall in Cumberland by elect
ing Thomas F. Conlon, Cumberland
mayor and service officer of the Forst
Cumberland Post, American Legion
as chairman.
The association then went on record
as favoring all war veterans register
ing their discharges at the Allegany
or Garrett county court houses.
Stressing the value of discharge
papers, the association urged that
veterans of all wars make certain a
copy of their discharge from the serv-
ice is on file at their county court
house as means of guarding against
loss or theft of the document.
A fee of 81 is to be charged at the
court house for this work.
In event that a veteran loses his
discharge papers after copy is made
at the court house, he can obtain that
copy by making application. Many
veterans already have registered their
discharges at the court house.
1t was pointed out that the number
of claims by veterans had increased
in recent months, many of them being
made by veterans of the second World
War on their dependents. Service of
ficers of each legion post are to assist
in eXpcditing all claims.

Winter Magic

"A scant two inches Of snow Satur-
day night brought the first message
of on-coming winter to Libby peo-
pie. Most of it has since disap-
peared. But it foretold the winter
pleasures of the next few months
as well as its discomforts.
Jack Frost manifests himself in
many different manners. He not
only paints fall foliage in myriads
of colors but he loves to touch the
soft cheeks of children with a rosy
tint and to fill their eyes with a
shining light and their voices with
laughter.
We saw all this during walk
down town Sunday morning.
Youngsters with their sleds were
playing and shouting with laugh
ter. Others were snowballing with
the newly fallen Whiteness. Rosy
cheeks, sparkling eyes, and laugh
ter were common possessions.
And all the world around us was
a land Of white magic. Every tree
branch, every lacy shrub, every tel
ephone wire bore a heavy coating
of hoar frost, converting the out
of-doors into land of breathless
beauty.
Who would want to go to Cali.

On Saturday night once again the

During several short intermis-
sions, each class presented and

candidates for king and queen, also
for the concessions sponsored. Two
special features were solo by
Betty Russell and a piano selection
by Teddy Peterson, both alumnae.

was popular where the cooks dis
played marvellous culinary style and
the girls specialized in service with
smile.
The highlight of the evening was
reached with the coronation of Bet

queen and king Amid all the pomp
and splendor attended upon such an
occasion, with slow and measured
tread the royal party came slowly
down the aisle and up the carpeted
steps to the dias where they were
crowned by Mr.. Mattill.
The coronation, under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. K. K. Lyons, was very
beautifully arranged. The stage was
decorated very artistically with
graduated pompoms in white and
with our native cedars.
After these big events, a goodly
number went over to the gym where
a dance rounded out the evening

Disquietin9 News

What's this disquieting news we
now hear that there is serious
shortage Of fighting equipment and
supplies on the west front in Eu--
rope?
We have been led to believe that
mountains Of equipment had been
produced and that our fighting men
were amply supplied Now there IS
a different story being told. Why
should this information be given
out just after election?
High army officials say that
production of arms and equip
ment needed by our troops is lag
ging on 40 per cent of the program.
TWo-t thirds Of this 40 per cent ara
the critical items desperately Wan--
ed on the fighting fronts, General
Somervell recently said.
In a message to the A. f. of l..
General Marshall, our chief of staff,
said.
Specifically we need now, as a
matter of the utmost urgency, more
artillery and mortar ammunition,
more tanks, more heavy trucks and
tires, more field and assault wire,
more tentage and more radar equip
ment." General Eisenhower recent
ly stated that the advance along the
western front was held up be-
cause Of lack of equipment
While this isn't pleasant reading,
it should spur every American to
greater efforts Any let-up in war
production is unthinkable. A strike
in an essential war industry at this
time is a crime It's an attack on
the lives of American boys. In
view of these statements by high
army officials, it is evident that
greater and still greater production
is still needed
Said Eisenhower, you tell US
what you can deliver and we'll tel
you when the war will end"

All Con Help

Last year tuberculosis took So,
900 lives in the United States.
That's appalling.
When one considers that tuber-
culosis is comfortable disease,
this terrific loss of life would indi-
cate something radically wrong with
American health conditions.
And that isn't all of the story.
The death rate from this disease
increased in 81 industrial states.
Which indicates that in almost half
of our states, we are losing IN
the fight against the white plague.
There is means whereby most
of us can help somewhat in this
fight, aside from being careful in
our own health habits. This bat
tie to whip this scourge requires
funds. This is the time when na-
tion-Wide appeal is being made for
those funds. That's where we can
do our small part We can invest
small sums in Christmas Seals
knowing that larger investment
follows that small contribution.

tuberculosis is today taking
tremendous toll of lives in the war
torn countries of Europe and Asia.
We must not permit this to happen
here. We can not afford to per-
nit the strength Of our people -

Knowing that tuberculosis has
increased after all past wars, we
must act now to prevent its spread.
We can do this by joining with the
medical profession and with Off

fight against tuberculosis. :
tuberculosis is communicable
disease, but it is also a comfortable
disease. Cooperation between the
American people and the agencies
devoted to spreading knowledge on
the prevention of tuberculosis will
result in victory against this great
