The rowing reporter stepped into
the high school building Monday
morning and Supt. Wood said, Here
is something you will undoubtedly
be interested in, and he took us to
a new trophy case that has recently
been constructed. 1t is a fine large
display case recessed into a wall
in the main lobby and certainly
makes an excellent place for the
showing of the numerous trophies
that have been won by Libby stu
dents. Without having seen the dis
play one has no accurate conception
of the many events that have been
won in both athletic and scholastic
competition, nor of the excellence
and beauty of the many trophies.
And here is something else

Wood and he lead us onto the bal

more boys enjoying more or less ac-

portunity is given for all the boys

Little Stories
OF The Town

Two women were visiting in a

"Oh. yes. indeed" was the i'm
mediate response "All the Irish
were surely there-all the Johnsons,
the Larsons, the Hansons- and the
rest of the clan.'
Three little youngsters stepped
into the South Libby Store Monday
morning while we were there. They
ranged in age between four and
five years.-two boys and a girl.
They were soon in conversation
with Sam every kids pal. But
as children will, they began to mix
up things. whereupon Sam came out
with a terrible threat, If you kids
don't behave I'll beat you up

for the beating. Here, hold my nit

take up the challenge and in few
seconds the two boys were valiantly
leading the attack with Sam defend
ing himself but finally tying them
up and'srubbing their noses together
amid many ehuckles and laughter
The little lady stood on the side
lines watching the affair as little
ladies often do, and glggling
throughout the fracas.
Well that's simple little story
and common sight but We were
impressed with the appearance of
the three youngsters. Round and
rosy cheeks, we'll developed little
bodies, eyes sparkling with health
and mischief. each of them ready for
fun and frolic. Thew give indications
of careful feeding and tender care.
We don't know who they were. But
we're ready to wager they have

Many Continue
Interest In First
Aid Courses

The First Aid Department of the
South Lincoln Chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross is actively promot-
ing interest in first aid instruction
and there are six classes already
organized or taking the course, ac-
cording to Miss Inez Ratekin, First
Aid chairman
The grestest response is from the
Junior High group. This IL to Is
years age group is taking the Jun
ior Course which is somewhat SIM
plified although they use the same
basic text, and it is amazing what
they learn. Superintendent A. A.
Wood of the Libby schools cooper
ated in the organizing of these
classes, he being on the First Aid
Committee for the Chapter. There
are four Junior High Glasses and
they are being taught by Mrs. Max
Sturm, Mrs. Frank Baney, Mrs.
Frank LuXa, Jr., and Miss Inez Rate
kin.
A class of high school students
are organized and will begin their
course this Thursday evening with
Mrs. Norman Rislev as their in
structor.
The Libby Farm Womans Club,
realizing the urgent need for this
work, have decided to take the
course at their regular club meet
ings. They will be taught by Mrs.
Hugh Slausson, one of their mem
bers who took the instructor S
course mainly for that. purpose.
The men at the mill who are in
terested will be given a chance to
have classes and there are several
of the employees who are qualified
to teach them, A. j. Agather, who is
on the Chapter committee, is assist
ing and Dexter Shaurette, Pete
Ramlo, Jr., and Walter collars will
be available instructors. 1t is hoped
there will be enough sign up to
have several classes among this
group.
A regular class will be organized
next Monday evening at 5 p m. at
the Community Room. Anyone who
wishes to take advantage of this
opportunity may come and join this
class, which will be for both men
and women. Mrs R. w. LeDuc will
be the instructor.

ANGLO-AMERICAN ACCORD

Last week we asked the office of the British
Information Services to clarity an alleged British
war order forbidding British women of the Aux
iiary Territorial Service from speaking to colored
American soldiers except in the presence of white
persons. The order was disclosed in New York
Times story which stated that Labor member of
the House of Commons had demanded that the order
be removed This week Sir James Grigg, British
Secretary for War, told Parliament that he had no
knowledge of such bar directed at American Negro
troops.
We would like to state categorically that we be-
lieve that AngloAmerican goodwill is essential for
the winning of this and unless there is goodwill
between these countries when peace returns other
wars may come to plague our civilization. We are
sure that the British are anxious to maintain fine
relationships with the United States. We do not
believe however that the relationships between these
two countries should be cemented by mutual ex-
change of prejudices We should not adopt the

South Is being born. Indications OF
this can be seen in a recent de-
cision handed down by the y. S.
Circuit Court OF Appeals at New
Orleans, UNFOLDING the conviction
and sentence OF a Georgia sheriff
and police officers for violating the
civil rights and liberties OF Negro
prisoner.
These police officers were charged
with beating 10 death their prisoner
after arresting him. For this
crime they were arrested. convicted
and sentenced by a Georgia court. .
The case was appealed 10 the u. S.

held the decision OF the lower
court. II is difficult to believe that
this happened in Georgia-Georgia

where Negroes have been lynched
and burned az the stake. but Il did
happen.
Yes the South is gradually realz-
ing that the Negro does have rights

has this to say about an incident
which took place on a bus enroute
from Knoxville 10 Chattanooga
"A Negro soldier was riding on the
back seat OF the bus. on his way
to Chattanooga. AT one OF the stops
white soldier got on and when
he saw the Negro soldier in the rear
he went back. sat down by him
and began TO talk about their COM
mon interests. White passengers
objected and made so much trouble
because the white soldier sat beside
the Negro soldier and talked with
him that the bus driver had 10 inter-
vene Whereupon the white and
Negro soldier stood up In the aisle
for the rest OF the journey and con-
tinued their conversation" These
boys are not permitted to sit side

is asking them 10 fight side by side
and die. Yes this is something 10

THIRTEEN AGAINST THE
ODDS by Edwin Embree tThe Vik-
ing Press; New York City; 1914;
$2.75) Is the sort of book which
should do much for race relations.
II contains brief biographies OF l3
Negroes chosen as most outstanding
by 200 persons polled by the author.
| The 10 are: Mary Mcleod Bethune.
Richard Wright, Charles S. johnson,
Walter White. George Washington
Carver. Langston Hughes. Marian
Anderson, w. E. B. Dubois. Morde-
cal w. Johnson. William Grant
Still. A. Philip Randolph. Joe Louis
and Paul Robson.
Mr.. Embree knows hts subjects
well-too we'll il seems sometimes
when his familiarity with them out
weighs his critical appraisal. He
takes the Is more or less at their
own estimates. Mr.. Embree makes
a point of including few sentences
in each sketch which present the
opinion of unfavorable critics but
he makes no attempt at weighing
the pros and cons. He puts the criti-
cisrn there at the end OF glowing
presentation and the reader is left
10 wonder whether the criticism
is valid or the very glowing tributes
which have gone before.
A number OF Mr.. Embree's state
ments raised questions in my mind

the NAACP has rallied" he in

William II. HASTE, Daisy Lampkin
and Thurgood Marshall but omits
Roy wilkins. He writes OF DR..
Dubois career and does not men,
ton the famous segregation issue
which | thought had much TO do
with his break with the NAACP.
He explains the break in this way:
He began 10 differ with his asso-
ciates in the NAACP because. while
they chung to the defense of Negro
rights. he wanted to work on a
program of linking Negroes TO the
progress OF the common man in

explains away any relationship OF
Richard Wright or Langston Hughes
with the Communist Party but Is
strangely silent on the same point

he describes Mordecai Johnson as

Immediately its idea Of the type
OF machinery which should be set
up within the AFL designed ulti-
mately TO secure full recognition Of.
and status for. the Negro worker
as an integral part OF the labor

We are happy to note this request
Of the ALL president. =. We hope il
represents a sincere desire on the
part OF Mr.. Green to see the Negro
worker full fledged member OF
the AFL. The day has long past
when labor can afford to weaken
its ranks by drawing the line on
Negro workers. The Clio has
shown the wisdom of including all
workers regardless OF race or creed.
1t realized from its very begin
ming that the labor movement in
this country could not reach its
highest point OF usefulness unless
it made. all workers an integral
