Red Cross Aids
IS Million
War Victims

In the four years since the start
Of the war in Europe, IS million
war victims in 80 nations have ben
Gifted by aid extended by and
through the American Red Cross
Details Of this program are con-
tanned in recent statement issued
BY Red Cross National Headquarters
in Washington, and provide a COM
prehensive view Of the organiza-
tons widespread wartime relief &C.
tivitics.
OF the $4,000, 900 thus furnished
since the war began, about halt
represents relief extended in the
form Of government provided sup
plies channeled through the Ameri-
can Red Cross. From the Rad Cross
own treasury, la1nda tofalin4 aaore
than $4,000, 900, and articles Of
wearing apparel, convenience, and
comfort produced in the 1856 Red
Cross chapters throughout the Unit
ed States valued at nearly 10000
600, went for the same purpose. And
this, despite difficulties in trans
portaiDn and in procuring the
necessary supplies, the changing sit
uation due to our entry into the
war and numerous other obstacles
which had to be overcome.
THE steady flow Of relief sup
plies to war victims in the United
Nations continues" said Chairman
Norman n. Davis OF the American
Red Cross, we were ably assisted
by three million volunteer workers
in those nations in carrying out this

Came 10
Montana 90
Years Ago

Sixty-six years ago a young man
from the East, only 10 years DID, de-
cided to cast his lot with the west
ern frontier and took up his first
abode in Virginia City, Montana.
That was in 1877 and the young
man was Charles Wesley Hutton.
The final chapter to long and uae-
full life was written when death
called Mr.. Hutton on Saturday, Feb.
5, at the ripe age Of more than IS
years.
Mr.. Hutton stepped into the live
lest sort of western frontier life
when he chose Virginia City for his
residence. Those were the days
when the vigilantes were taking over
affairs and when they had been
forced to organize in order to clean
out the laWleSs elements that had
grated themselves onto the new
and developing territory. He knew
personally many of the men who
made stirring history IN those tur-
bulent times. The young man fresh
from the East took up the occupa-
ton Of teaching and taught in Vir-
ginia Ctr for nine years. LAAaf he
tasaGht It Whitehill and Pony, Mont,
at Clarksfork, Ida, and 1t SpanxIe,
Wash. He came to Libby in 1898
from Spangle and was employed
here as the first principal of the
school house that is now the Ma
sonic temple.
In later years Mr. Hutton, after
having retired from teaching, took
up the writing OF articles narrat-
inP various interesting happenings
of the frontier life as he had ex-
perienced them. They were all most
interesting and found ready pub
lication in the Great Falls and 9th
err Montana newspapers. He also
frequently talked to the Libby high
school on similar subjects.
Mr.. Hutton was born at Constan-
tine, Mich, on Nov. IL, 1853, and
died Feb. 5, 1914, being well past
IS at his death. The date Of his mar
riage is not available. He is survived
by q daughter, Mrs. charles HUI
bacher Of Kalispell; by three sons,
Carl and Harold of Libby, and Cliff
ford OF San Jose, Calf, and by
number Of grandchildren. Mr. and
Mrs. Hubacher were here for the
funeral but Clifford was unable to
come.
Funeral services were held from
the Gompf Funeral Home Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock, with Mrs.
J. S. Peay OF the Christian Science
church officiating as reader. Hymns
were sung by Mrs. J. A. Krau and
Mrs. W. G. collars, with Mrs. Sher-
man Noel at the piano. Pallbearers
were William Blew, James Reedy,
Robert Gehrke. Ira Miller, James
Harris and H. w. Redfield. Burial
was in the Libby cemetery by the
side of his wife who passed away
in May, l941.
Mr.. Hutton was man of the
highest honor and integrity and by
helping to mold and educate the
young people of the pioneer days,
he left his impress on the develop
ing country and performed most
valuable service.

To Give TubercuIin
Tests at Libby
Schools

As a part Of the high school
health program the tuberculin tests
will be given Monday, Feb. IA, to
members of the freshman class and
transfer students.
For the past five years since the
tuberculin testing program was
started in the school here, it has
been sponsored by the clinic com
mittee of the Libby Women's Club
in cooperation with the Montana
tuberculosis Association.
The funds for this work are made
available from the Christmas Seal
sale. These tests are provided with
out cost to the high school students
as are any necessary chest X-rays.
If we know these facts about tu-
berculosis, and apply them, we can
look forward to the eventual eradi-
cation of tuberculosis.
|. tuberculosis is caused by a
germ.
2. tuberculosis is not inherited.
3. tuberculosis often exists with
out presence Of symptoms or signs.
4. tuberculosis is no respector of
persons.
5. tuberculosis is durable.
6. tuberculosis is preventable.
1t is through the early finding Of
tuberculosis infection that proper
medical care can be started to pre-
vent further spread Of the disease.
The tuberculin tests will be given
by the school nurse and will be read
by Dr. c. ]. Martin, Friday, Feb. Is.

A SERMONETTE
BY James Myers
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Throughout human history, over
and over again, it has been in times
Of darkness. calamity and evil. that
new light and new revelation OF
truth have broken through from
God to men Jesus, Isaiah and the
prophets spoke out of such times
and showed new ways of light and
love and goodness ard peace for
the human race The present world
situation is no different qualitative
ly than previous dark times. It
differs only quar- titatively. 1t is
world wide. But the. very fact that
it 3 world wide, in turn makes it
possible for the new light and truth
when 1t breaks through also to 90
around the world and lead human
ity into new life.
The prophets who appear in dark
days always come from among those
who refuse to allow their thinking
and attitudes to be altered or CO.
creed by the pressure Of the con-
temporary circumstances in which
they live, but who insist upon stead
fast loyalty to eternal principles,
come what may.
Some religious thinkers are al
ready exploring the outposts of new
spiritual achievements for the hu-
man race. When the Light breaks
through az in, it will go round the
world. And our eyes shall behold
the salvation which God has pre-
pared for all people.
