only through spiritual understand
ing and attainment
Before an audience of several
thousand Christian Scientists essen
TALLY local in character due to war
time restrictions upon transporta-
ton, the Directors cited the univer-
sal determination to win the peace
as advance evidence of a world
wide realization that righteous
victory under arms will not suffice
to guarantee freedom to mankind.
Freedom from want and fear,
freedom in worship and speech, the
Directors stated, constitute much
more than political slogan of gov
ernmental theology, for our great
Way-shower, Christ Jesus, pro-
claimed centuries ago that free
dom accords with Gods will and
law; furthermore he gave simpler,
clear direction for the attainment
Of full freedom for the individual,
and through the individual for all
humanity.
In other words, although it is
desirable, yes, it is necessary, that
the allied nations win the war
against the anti-christ claims of hui
man will and personal domination,
of greed, cruelty, injustice and in
tolerance, yet that righteous vic
tory under arms will not suffice
to guarantee freedom to mankind"
That the world is coming to real
ize this fact was seen by the Direc-
tors in the careful consideration be-
ing given throughout the world to
winning the peace, THAT is, max
ing world peace SO secure that 9TH
er wars will be precluded. Let our
prayers for our dear ones who are
IN service, our prayers for our
church, our nation, and for all man
kind, find consistent expression in
our everyday lives. Let us see that
the triumph of Truth over error
with us is a sure sign that the vic
toy of good over all evil Is assured,
and that the kingdom of God is at
hand

Bond Drive Opens
With Bicycle Porode;
Pleasing Affoir

The Bond Drive is off to a splen-
did start! The bicycle parade on
Monday evening set the pace for
happy cooperation from young and
old There were number of at
tractively and originally decorated
bicycles and the judges, Mrs. Louvia
Craven, Mayor E. M. Boyes, Abner
Role. and Mrs. C. w. Gildea had
quite time picking out the four
winners. They complimented them
all on their ideas and thanked those
who came to ride in the parade even
though their bicycles weren't dec
GRATED. The following were the
prize winners: Older Group-Ra-
mona Remp, for beauty and origi-
nality, and Donald Thomson for
originality. Younger Group-Joy St.
Marie for beauty, and Richard Hal
sey for beauty and originality.
The parade was led by red pick
up truck loaned by Walter Kemp
and driven by ]. A. Krall. Private
Joe Johnston, home on furlough,
rode in the truck as a representative
of our armed forces. The loud
speaker from the school was taken
care of by Sherman Noel who also
operated the monograph for music
for the parade. Miss Inez Ratekin
made the announcements. The pa
rade started at the school house and
went down Mineral Avenue and
stopped in front of the bond head
quarters, where the judges were,
and then proceeded down through
West Libby and up near the school
house and down Mineral Avenue
again to the bond headquarters
where Mrs. Craven announced the
winners and the prizes were given
out It had been planned to take
the parade through South and East
Libby but there were so many lit
tie children running beside the
truck and bicycles that the route
was shortened for fear some of them
would overdo in their excitement
of following the parade around.

Early Induction Threat

D1 JOOEku IVA LEN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, May IL. :
CUP - Selective Service to-
day ordered deferments for
the bulk of men rs and older
now classified la.
The order removed the
threat of early induction for
the majority of the 1850, 1000
LAS who were in that age
group as Of April l.
For necessary" men 26
through 20 who are regularly
engaged in war or essential
civilian work, industrial de-
ferments will be granted "for
the time being" Even If they
fail to meet the necessary"
test and are kept in la, in
dications were that few in

ably will carry them well into ls45.
How long the order will remain
in effect was not stated. But Major
General Lewis B. Hershey, Selective
Service director, estimated at q press
conference that enough men ID
through rs, including those coming
of military age, will be available TO
meet Army Navy requirements uri-
til December - unless something
happens that materially changes the
needs Of the Armed Forces"
I'VE are forced to face the fact"
he added, that eventually there
will not be enough men under IS to
fill out calls"
The new order, the life Of which
obviously will depend on the cost in
men of the western front invasion
and other military operations which
may be imminent, was formulated
at a three-day conference this week
with State Selective Service d.
rectors.
1t is designed to release large
numbers of younger physically fit
emn for military service and at the
same time provide deferment OF
greater numbers of (older) men to
engage in activities in war produc-
ton or in support Of the national

selective Service hoped to achieve
this end by:
/. Retaining present rigid regu-
lations making 1t impossible for
