to have your name removed from

are to accept packages in their orig

It has been suggested that peo-
pie do not wait for the Boy Scouts

waste paper but, instead, let them
get in touch with their local col

to have the paper picked up or take
it to the collection depot them

What Is America?

What is this America, at whose
call ten million of our finest youth
are torn from lives that had barely
begun?
Is it the rich rolling pastures and
grainlands of the plains-the cotton
fields of the South, the wide forests
OF the West?
Is it the billowing smoke of ten
thousand stacks, rising above the
greatest industrial plant man ever
created to make the swords of war
from the plowshares of peace?
Is it the unified will of strong
new race, born of all races and
creeds, who found freedom and OPP
portunity between its borders?
1t is all OF these-and yet none
OF these, this land Of ours
America is the thin sweet chorus OF
children singing
my Country, It's of Thee
Sweet Land Of Liberty -
In the homes and schoolrooms OF
our country, uncomprehendlng
young eyes on the star-spangled
flag, little lips forming the words
they cannot yet understand
Long may our Land be Bright
with Freedoms holy Light
Protect us by Thy Might
Great Ged, our King
THAT is America!

"SWeet Land Of Liberty -
A Fine Record

In recent weeks there have been
found in these columns articles
commencing the good work done
by various local organizations.
These were published for two pur-
poses. One was to give credit where
credit is due; the other was to give
the public information that is often
lacking.
We now wish to give credit to
another organization that has long
been active in Libby. 1t has been
doing good work in the community
so long that many have probably
drifted into the habit Of accepting
its efforts as matter of course
and according them little thought
or recognition. We refer to the
Libby Woman's club.
One Of the easiest things in the
world to do is to criticize. Some
people get into that habit Appar-
emily one of the most difficult things
for some people is to give credit
or praise. Once in awhile the, Gym
ical ones are heard to ask, What
good do these organizations ever
do, any way?' The answer to that
cynical question is easy And to
answer it we have only to cite some
Of the activities Of the Woman's
Club during the past year.
Here are the chief activities OF
the Libby Woman's Club during
the club year that is just now draw
ing to close.
It has made the following con-
tributions. Fort Harrison veterans
a $500 box, Florence Crittender
Home, $500; Youth Recreationa
Center, $3.50; Father Flanagan's
Boys Town. $500, Montana Chill
dren's Home and Hospital, $500, 7
B. Seals, $500, Infantile Paralysi.
Fund, $500; Girl Scouts Registra
ton Fee, 1896; Red Cross, $40 ($1t
from regular fund and $40 from
Public Welfare Dept); Cancer Con
troll, $500; bought two War Bonds
one STA, one $3.50; donated to oxy
gen tent purchase.
The club has sponsored the prof
ect for purchase Of an oxygen tent
and also has sponsored the Cir
Scouts, the T. B. Seal sale, the Att
War Bond drive, assisted in the
Bird War Bond drive, assisted in the
Red Cross drive, assisted in the

Is 1t All About?

conversation between q young man
wearing the uniform of the U. S.
navy and civilian. The navy man
is serving in the medical corps and
had helped to care for the sick and
wounded in navy hospital. A re-
mark he made attracted my atten-
ton.
II have talked with a large num-
Der OF boys who come to the hos
pita1, he said, land have asked
them the often-heard query as to
what they are fighting for. The
answers would surprise you. Very
few of them have much of any idea
about the matter. The conception
that they are fighting for defense
of their country does not appear in
the calculations very many times.
Many of them have replied, when
asked what they were fighting for:
why, | don't knoW-to save my
skin / guess The other guy was
shooting at me and unless shot
him first, it would be curtains for
me. | was fighting to keep from
getting killed. | guess that's it. :
Undoubtedly that is the vague
conception held by many Of the
soldiers concerning what it is all
about. The young man who does
not think great deal, whose school
Ing in American history and Amer
lean government is not what it
should be, who has no acquaintance
with world trends-to him the prin-
cipal thing is to kill the other fellow
before he himself gets killed. And
that is natural impulse. No one
can quarrel with that But it is to
be hoped that large majority OF
our soldiers have a clearer concep-
ton Of the problems involved in this
titanic struggle and better grasp
Of the ideals and goals that are be-
ing fought for.
In contrast to the conception re-
ported by the navy man, read what
a doctor writes after having seen
two men buried at sea after hav-
ing been wounded in bitter fight
in the Pacific. The doctor, name
ungiven, writes to Time Magazine
and says, in part.
II wish there were words ade-
quate enough to explain how deep
ly most of us feel about being out
here; how much it means to us to
win completely and unequivocally
SO that our sons and our sons sons,
and those of our enemy need not
know this again; how much it hurts
to be forced to the realization that
SO many Of our hopes are empty
- The thing that is important
I to us is first to win the war and
! then to set about rehabilitating not
only ourselves but the people ir
| India and China and Japan and Ger.
many SO that we can live together
and call each other friends. It seem:
to me that that is what we set ou
to do. Even though few OF us eve1
expected to attain that much, it !!
bitter knowledge indeed to see how
infinitely little we are likely to at
tain at all.
THE plain and simple truth is
I'm afraid, that we as peopl,
have not yet grown big enough, toll
Grant enough, wise enough, or jus
enough, to manage our own affair
with honor and justice, let alon'
those Of the world. We are still try
ing to delude ourselves with thu
idea that we are a democracy in
stead Of accepting the truth that W,
are not, and planning ways ane
means of becoming one some day."
