 in building up American munitions industries"
 That contribution to the United
 States. he said, was ia small return
 for her tremendous generosity to uS."
 Britain's production achievements also were praised in Commons by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who declared that the British arm-
 ies now in the field will have suf-
 ficient ammunition to fight the coming battles if present schedules are maintained.
 The white paper disclosed that British war workers, living under di- rect attack almost continuously since the beginning of the war, have turned out about 70 per cent of the munitions produced by or made available to the British Empire.
 The official report showed that Brltain's war spending has reached the astronomical height of $634 per second, and that the proportion of her population mobilized for was is perhaps greater than that of any other belligerent power.
 Other statistics, revealed now only because the war has progressed to the point where absolute secrecy is no longer essential, including: 1-Britain's armed forces now number 4,500,O0O men and 500,OO0 women out of total population of about 47,000,000.
 2-More than one-third of all men in the United Kingdom be- tween the ages of IA and 59 are in the armed forces, full-time civil. de- fense or industry.
 5By the close of 1943 Britain had lost 11,50,OOO tons of shipping, two- thirds of the tonnage with which she entered the war. 4Casualties in the armed forces of Great Britain alone numbered 563, ,O00 by the end of last Septem- Der, including 176,O00 killed; for the rest of the empire, casualties totaled 5000, including 67,O0O killed. 5-One out of every three houses in Britain has been destroyed or damaged in air raids or by robot bombs, and civilian casualties up to the end of August numbered 6T, ,208 killed and 78,818 injured. 6-Another 29,629 British meg. kchant seamen were killed by enemy action and 4,173 internad hv tke enemy since the start of the war. Production Field Tn the production field, British aircraft plants, operating under strict blackout conditions and fre- quently under attack, produced 1O,- O18 heavy bombers, 2,389 of them in the first half of 1914 compared with only Al in all of 194O. Fighter plane production has now reached $40 planes month.

Any Book Con
Be Had Through
County Librory

In order to make available here
in Libby any book that is needed
by local doctors, school-teachers,
clergymen, or other readers, the
Lincoln County Public Library has
become affiliated with the Pacific
Northwest photographic Center, ac-
cording to an announcement made
recently by Miss Inez Ratekin, Ii
brarian. This affiliation means that
any resident of Libby may borrow
through the Public Library copy
of any book on any subject that he
might need for any serious purpose
This plan is neither complicated
nor difficult for the individual to
use. Suppose DR.. Jones wants to read
a volume of sermons published dur
ing colonial days by Massachusetts
clergyman. He asks Miss Ratekin of
the Public Library for the book As
soon as she has determined that
the volume is not on her own
shelves, she requests it from the
Photographic Center in Seattle. The
wheel begins to turn at once. Some
times within three or four days
sometimes longer, but eventually
that book of sermons will arrive in
the mail at the Lincoln County
Free Library, and DR.. Jones is mott
fled.
To make available here in Libby
the entire book resources of the
nation-and that means several mil
lion Volumes Well-organized sys-
ter Of interlibrary lending is put
into motion Most of the borrowing
is done within the state, but in the
case of the rarer books, it is often
necessary that they be obtained from
such places as the University Of
California in Berkeley, the John
Crerar Library in Chicago, The Bos-
ton Public Library, or even the
Library of Congress in Washington.
The method used by the Biblio-
graphic Center to locate copy of
the needed book is relatively new
in American library history. The
Center maintains union catalog"
which lists all the books in 80 of
the principal Libraries of the Pa
cific Northwest and in a number of
the larger eastern Libraries. 1t also
cooperates with other "centers" in
Denver, Philadelphia, and Washing
ton and with about 100 other "un-
ion catalogs" throughout the coun-
try. Experts and specialists are
available when necessary. The point
is that every possible device is used
by these book detectives to track
down the item desired by DR.. Jones
here in Libby.
Who pays for this service? When
the hypothetical DR.. Jones borroWs
a book he merely pays for the four
or seven cents postage it costs to
mail it. The rest of the cost is abb
sorbed BY the photographic Cen
ter, which is maintained by spe-
cial grant Of the Carnegie Corpora
ton, and by the Libraries Of the re-
gion, who consider it part Of their
obligation to an educated America
to provide needed book, regardless
of where that need might happen to
arise.

WOULD RUN WILLKIE AS
VICE PRESIDENT

This newspaper has received lit
erature this week telling of the
forming of an organization to work
for the drafting Of Willkie for vice
president, with Roosevelt as presi-
dent, on the democratic ticket. The
movement is being started by
Charles Davis, c. E., D. Eng, OF
Bass River, Cape Cod, Mass, who
says that Willkie knew nothing
about the proposal prior to the is
suing of the literature
This movement will strengthen
the conviction of those who have
believed that Willkie has been
merely a stooge for Roosevelt and
they will be inclined to say, II told
you sc" Political prophesying is un-
wise, but it is doubtful if Willkie
would accept nomination under
such conditions.

HOW four U. s. Coast Guards men, stranded on a tiny sandspit near Namur and Roi Islands, captured nine Japs with the aid of an empty machine gun, was recently revealed.
 Coast Guardsmen were zebe Truesdale, Breckenridge, Tex: Robert Quinn, Gastonia, N. C.; Charles Newsome, Houston, Tex; and John R. Darr, Fl Paso, Tex. They beached their damaged boat through heavy surf, went ashore to stretch their legs. Suddenly they came upon nine Japs crouched in large foxhole and at first thought they were all dead. But one moved, and the Guardsmen, unarmed, sprinted back to their boat, grabbed two machine guns and returned. They ordered the Japs out-just as Truesdale realized his gun was unloaded. Afraid the Japs might rush them, they stood there, until Ensign Russell M. Keith, Brock ton Mass, came up in another boat, which stranded, too. Finally Ensign Truman c. Hardin, Spring field, Mo, appeared. He secured 600 feet of line to Keith's boat, gunned his own and pulled the line taut. They made the Japs go out hand-over- hand.
