Deserves Proise

Someone has described a hunting
season as certain length of time
given in which not to find any.
While some Libby sportsmen might
agree with that cynical definition,
we do not believe many Of them
would do so. Most Of them sue
ceeded in getting their meat" dur
ing the season. And because they
have a great interest in matters
of the hunt and because they want
to keep conditions here so that they
will be able to secure their meat,
were why SO many of them turned
out to the banquet and for the ex-
cellent program that followed Sat
urday night.
These fish and game meetings are
always popular. Much of interest
and value to sportsmen is always
discussed and the entertainment is
always good
One thing for local men to think
about and plan for was suggested
by Elmer Phillips, superintendent
of state fisheries. He believes that
after the war travel by plane will
/ be a common thing, that the air will
be filled with jallopies and other
! types of planes and that thousands
of men from the cities will be able
to step into their planes and spenc
week ends in the mountains of thi.
and other districts. More of then
will spend vacations here because
of easier travel facilities
/ This will result in an increasing
ly heavy drain on the fish and game
resources of this Inland Empire, hi
said. And plans will have to bt
made to conserve and increase, i
possible, present stocks. He brough
the good news that state official.
are already looking to that time anc

! can help by not wantonly killing
more game than they can use anc
by faithfully observing wise game
laws that have been enacted for thu
eventual benefit of everyone

have been numerous incidents in
which hard-boiled men, some OF
them skeptics, have come from the
very jaws of death and have de-
clared openly to the world that they
had seen actual miracles performed
in their behalf. The well-knoWn ex-
perience of Eddie Rickenbacker is
one of those.
Because Of this growing tendency
to give more weight to religious
matters, the ladies of the Altar So
ciety of st. Joseph's Catholic church
thought it would be nice if Libby
| would step in line in observance OF
Good Friday by closing the stores
for few hours. When they asked
the cooperation of other churches,
| they met ready response by most
of the other churches of the city.

Prevent Mold

Heat from an electric lamp kept
burning in a clothes closet will often
keep the air dry enough to prevent
mold on clothes. Frequent airing
with an electric fan is another help,
and an open jar of calcium chloride
standing in the closet will absorb
moisture from the air and turn to
liquid. This must be thrown out
from time to time and replaced
with new, solid chloride. In damp
easements, crooks or jars half filed
with Jumps Of unslaked lime will
absorb moisture and help in the

Good Friday

An attempt was made in Libby
this year to give a special observ-
ance to Good Friday by having the
stores close from IL noon to )
o'clock However, majority of the
merchants thought there would be
little point in closing inasmuch as
the churches were not holding serv-
ices at the time the stores would be
closed. The committee said the
merchants expressed themselves as
being very willing to close provld-
ed there were services one could
attend, but not otherwise.
Observance of Good Friday is a
practice that has long been common
by the Catholic and Protestant Epis-
copal churches. 1t is gradually COM
ing into favor by numerous other
denominations In England and Ire
land it is a legal holiday. In some
American states it is school and
bank holiday.
There seems to be growing and
widespread tendency to give more
attention to religion these days. The
more general observance of Lent
and Good Friday is evidence Of that
tendency. A number Of cities and
towns pay honor to Good Friday
by closing the stores-in some COM
munities for all day, in others for
a few hours. 1t is understood that
Kalispell closed its stores last year
and will close from noon to 3 o'clock
this year. Great Falls also closes its
stores during the same, hours. Other
towns are doing likewise.
Some may wonder why the hours
from noon to 3 o'clock are chosen
for this observance. For the benefit
of those who do not know, it is be-
cause those are the hours during
which the Christ hung on the cross
at his crucifixion. They are the
hours Of his agony just before be.

REVIEWING FACTS

the reason they are so anxious to have
him reelected
They make no charges against Judge
Left Erickson, the Democratic candi-
date for governor, as they have none
to make, but they state that he is
endorsed by the Montana Progress
sive Council, forgetting, no doubt, the
fact that the present governor ap-
peared before this same council four
years ago, requesting and receiving
the same endorsement that Judge
Erickson received this year.
They tell the jublic that O'Connell
and Sidney Hillman are affiliated with
this council. Well, what if they are?
No one has ever heard of either one
of these two, being convicted of de-
frauding the U. S. government, by
selling it defective communications
wire, thereby endangering the lives
of thousands of our loved ones at the
fighting front, nor have either one of
them ever been accused of any other
crime.
The only thing they accuse Sidney
Hillman Of is being a Jew and being
born in Russia; well, if w. d. Rankin
and the corporate press are going to
inject racial and religious prejudice
into this campaign, they will accom-
plish nothing, as this is the United
States of America-not- Hitler's Ger
many.
Another bugaboo, they dwell upon
is the CIO. The CIO is largely made
up of Miners of Butte and Mill and
of Great Falls and Ana
conda. Is it right for the corporate
press to class these workmen as out
avs and renegades, when officials of
The War Production Board, the Army,
he Navy and even some officials of
he Anaconda Copper Mining COM
)any, stated at the "Naranche Stad-
um" in Butte, some time ago. that
hese men were as patriotic a body of
men as any engaged in the war effort
md that their production greatly ex-
eeded all expectations.
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
any, with its affiliates, the Montana
'ower Company, the railroads, the in
urance companies and the banking
lterests, have for years, dominated
nd controlled, practically every po-
tical and industrial office in the
tate and it is fear of losing this
ontrol that is making them des-
crate.
They know that when the voters
the state are organized politically,
control of state politics will
ONE to an end, as the voters will
lsist on having an honest state gov
that cannot be dominated
y, or dictated to, by any one class
: clique.
No, they have no fear of Hillman
OConnell, the only thing they fear
this campaign is the election of
dge Erickson, as they know they
ere not able to handle him, the last
( years, as an associate justice of
supreme court, and they also
ow they will not be able to dictate
him as the Governor of the State

ANACONDA OFFICIALS
DRAW PRISON TERMS IN
r. |. WAR FRAUD CASE

Four Officials of Anaconda Subsid-
larry Sentenced to Prison Terms on
Conviction of Defrauding the Gov
ernment by Selling 1t Defective
Wire For Use by the Army in War
Operations.
The above headlines in some of our
papers last January, created quite a
sensation, especially here in Montana,
where many of the officials of this
company were well known and where
trey were thought to have at least
some degree of PATRIOTISM?
This was not the only WAR FRAUD
CASE PROVEN against the company:
the Marion Indiana branch had pre-
viously been convicted and the COM
pany was fined the sum of $31, ,OO0.0 90.
The firm had done more than S1.2O0.-
10000 business in supplying wire for
the Signal Corps, and in passing SEN
tence, Judge Hartigan reminded the
defendants, that these contracts had
been entered into "at a time when
the danger of an attack by our enc
mics was imminent, as later demon
strated by the attack on Pearl Har-
bor."
The judge further stated, "If | were
to establish degrees of guilt in this
case, at the head of the list | would
put the Anaconda Wire and Cable
Co, the chief culprit in this conspir-
acy. 1t corrupted the other defend
ants and it did not hesitate to stoop
to corrupt, even WOMEN EN-
PLOYEES and ordinary laborers. The
evidence overwhelmingly discloses. II
that the corporation knew of these
things and ENCOURAGED THEM.

went along in the Irregularities to

defendants before me admitted this !
