Ship Christmas
Boxes to German
War Prisoners Now

Next-of-kin Christmas boxes for
Americans in German hands must
be shipped now if they are to ar
rive in time. They have to be ship
ped to Europe in Red Cross vessels,
then transhipped to Geneva, Swift
erland, for distribution to prison
camps by International Red Cross
committees. Disrupted transporta-
ton will also tend to slow distribu-
ton and this plus censorship often
cause deliveries to take several
months.
The provost marshals office is
not issuing a special Christmas par
eel label. The current gift box label
should be used.
II is not yet certain whether
Christmas boxes can be sent this
year to Americans in the Far East
Last year the Gripsholm carried
Christmas boxes to the Orient, but
SO far the Japanese government has
not issued safe conduct permit
for a similar voyage this year.

SMALL TOT WANDERS FAR

Little Miss Shirley Reedy, three
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley Reedy, caused quite bit
of excitement Sunday morning when
she decided to 60 to see grandma"
Mr.. and Mrs. Reedy had left the
children with relatives, who live
down by the old Zonolite mill,
while they went fishing early Sun
day morning. Shirley wandered off,
and not being missed for a while,
got pretty good start on her jour
ney which took her up to the far
end of Louisiana avenue in South
Libby. The fire department was no
titled, and Chief Wood had them
scatter out, each member taking a
street. They had been out searching
for Shirley for about half an hour
when they found her at the home OF
Lud Reinertson, three hours after
she had started on her journey to
see grandma. Reinertson was trying
to find out who she was at the time
the firemen saw here there on the

Prominent Rood
Officials to Visit
Here September 5

"A group OF prominent highway
men will visit this district on an in
spection trip on September S. A. F.
Winkler of Kalispell, chairman Of
the state highway commission, says
that he will be in Libby on that
date and further says
Il will have with me L. F. Martin
of the Pubic Roads Administration
and also Mr.. Higgins of the Public
Roads Administration at Ogden,
Utah. Mr. Higgins is the new dis
trict engineer taking the place Of
Mr.. Finch who retired about 80
days ago. With us will be Mr. j. D.
Wood, Director of Highways for the
State Of Idaho.
Since the uncompleted section
in western Montana is in the fed
eral forest, the same as the uncom-
pleted section in Idaho, the purpose
of the trip is to sell the idea to the
Public Roads Administration Of the
vital necessity Of having this UNI
completed mileage in both Montana
and Idaho completed as quickly as
possible under the new highway
program"

Finishes Road
In
North End

Oiling of the section Of Highway
No. 81 between Rexford and Eu-
reka has been under way for GONE
time and is being finished this week.
Rumors have been heard to the
effect that a contract was to be
let soon for the oiling Of No. 81
from Libby eastward but A. F.
Winkler, chairman of the state high
way commission, says that thissrsns
not be done at present. Mr.. WinkIer
wrote this newspaper that it was
the intention of the commission to
have this oiling done in 1941 but
because of the war it has not been
possible to let contracts of this ma
ture on any roads in Montana that
were not declared Of military ne
cessity by the army engineers. Mr..
Winkler further wrote, 1.-THE COM
mission and the department engin--
GERS have this project on the early
postwar plans and when the green
light signal is given, | am hope
full that we can get an early con-
tract"

Spokane Visitors
Rave Over Our
Scenic Beauties

Mr. and Mrs. c. j. Gillingham and
son of Spokane recently spent a
weeks vacation camping in the
Granite lake area. At the end of
the week they left for home raving
over the wonderful scenic beauties
of that section and Of the enjoyable
time they had had. The son is in
the u. S. navy.
They told Of having started out
one morning at daylight and of hav-
ing spent the day hiking through the
tops of the mountains. They STUN
bled into camp at ii o'clock that
night and report they enjoyed the
day hugely, even to the stumbling
into camp SO late at night.
Their experience is indicative of
the development that is certain to
take place in this favored area as
soon as the wars end makes travel
again available to everyone. This
district is building up a widespread
reputation for scenic beauty. Al
ready a number of people have
bought places in the Yak district
either for a summer home or per-
manent year-round homes. Many
more will follow thei rexample.

Two Libby Men
In "BIock Devils"
Organization

1.-THE black devils are all around
us every time we come into the line
and we never hear them come"
So wrote a German general in a
| report to his headquarters just be-
fore his capture in France.
He was speaking of new hard
striking spearhead of specialists
who are fighting in the American
army and who have been in some Of
the hottest sectors in various fronts.
These men have been trained in
snow warfare, amphibious warfare,
mountain warfare, air-borne war
fare and bitter infantry infighting.
So reads an article telling Of this
newest of U. S. organizations, that
appeared in Tuesdays dailies under
an Associated Press byline.
There is connection with this
story that will make it of unusual
interest to Western News readers.
1t is that two Libby men are mem
bers of this organization. They are
Paul Pitcher and George Wainz.
Mrs. Pitcher is in Libby for the dur
alton and is employed in the forest
service office. Mrs. Wainz is the
former Harriet Sleizer and it is
understood she has employment in
Helena.
Mrs. Pitcher says her husband
was in the Anzio beachhead fight
ing and is now in the thick of it
in France, fighting with this organ
ization that is SO greatly feared by
our enemies.
These specialists in hard fighting
first went into action at Kiskia in
the Aleutians. Exactly year later
they struck in southern France. Be-
tween those times, they were active
in Italy and there terrorized the
Germans for SO nights of blackfaced
raiding before spearheading the
breakthrough to be the first into
Rome. The group is composed Of
outdoor men with excellent ply
siques-cowpunchers, miners, trap
pers, lumberjacks. These men were
trained at Helena, Mont
In the entire force, only about
half Of the original Kiskia veterans
are left. Despite the high priority
placed on these troopers by
the enemy, OILY % ever have been
captured alive.

Jops Guess This
One Wrong

The Japs apparently figured that
the rainy season from mid-May un-
til late August would retard the al
lied advance in Burma. The Japs
made a gross miscalculation, the
Chungking radio said, inasmuch as
the Allied capture of Myitkyina by
Allied forces occurred at the height
of the Monsoon season, when the
Nipponese, assuming the Allies
couldn't take" the Monsoons may
have diverted the main part of their
forces to the Eastern sector of
China.
