McEIroy Sells The
Kootenoi Laundry

Today The Kootenai Laundry
changes ownership as the result of
a deal in which Tracy McElroy
who has owned and operated the
business for the past year, sold the
laundry to his brother-in-l Her
schel Chapman. Mr.. McElroy's de-
cision to sell the business was
made on account Of the climate
here not agreeing with Mrs. Nc
Elroys health The family have
made no definite plans for the flu
ture other than that they expect
to remain here at least until the
first of the year, during which
time they will continue to operate
the cleaning establishment.
The new owner has had exper-
fence with the laundry business, as
has Mrs Chapman, who has made
her home here and worked with
her brother while Mr.. Chapman
has been absent in the Navy.

Defeated
Priest River

Libby Terriers emerged victori-
Gus over hard fighting Idaho
eleven, Friday, Oct. rs, at Priest
River.
Priest River proved too much for
Coach LaRoque's second string;
making TO in the opening minutes
of the first quarter In the last
part of the first quarter the main
string took the field but could not
stop the shifty Information used by
Priest River, and the end of the
quarter showed the Idaho team
leading 40
The Terriers came back with a
combined attack Of passing by half
back, "SWede' Adamson, blocking
and line punching by full-back
Buck Nelson and end sweeps with
fast Don Dagget wing back pack
ing the ball Daggett made it IA to
6 on an end run; Nelson converted
to make it lat. "Swede' then
completed a pass to Martin for 40
yards, then DarsoW snagged one for
a touchdown The half ended with
Priest River still leading l4-l3.
The Libby eleven came back in
the third quarter and punched over
the final touchdown with Daggett
packing it around end after Nelson
had made Is yards on line smash.
The rest of the game was tight con-
sentative football and the game
ended l4-19
Coach LaRoque's eleven will
meet Polson's football team on the
home field Saturday. This is a
very decisive game for Libby since
Whitefish defeated the Terriers,
and Poison in turn defeated White
fish The Libby squad still has a
chance to gain a place in the con-
ference by beating Poison Satur-

Your letter of II March just

neWsy letter although a little old.
As ! had lost track Of SO many of
the fellows, it was still news to hear
where and what SO many of my
friends were doing
Since leaving the states last De
cember, | have had quite variety
of duty. | travelled from Seattle to
Pearl Harbor via transport and
then a short time later left on the
battleship INDIANA We partic-
mated in a bombardment of Two
Jima during January after which
| transferred to Admiral Lees
staff on the South Dakota while at
Ulithi. The next few months | spent
in the Two Jima. Japanese main
land strikes and the OkinaWa cam
paign. After sixty days continuous
steaming during the later opera
ton we had a welcome period of
rest at Guam where our ship went
into floating drydock for awhile.
While there | was fortunate in see
ing several former shipmates and
did little sightseeing Of the is
land. When we went ashore there,
lit was my first time for over three
good months to set foot on terra
firma.
After leaving Guam we spent
several weeks in the Philippines,
but | only went ashore once near
Leyte The natives on these islands
certainly gain trading experience
quickly and realize the meaning
of the American "dollah' as they
call it.
We left Leyte July first and dur
ing the next weeks made several
bombardments My battle station

bombardment Of Japan took place
in flag plot where | was stationed
at the time. This broadcast was
probably made short time later
in the states.
On August 18th we received or
ders to transfer our Staff to the
Alabama and worked all night
packing our supplies and personal
affects, making the transfer via
breeches buoy the next morning.
The Alabama came alongside our
ship which was the first. time this
had been done by battleships al
though smaller ships do this often.
/ hardly got settled on this ship
when the surrender offer was ac-
copied The morning Of the 18th
several of us were ordered to the
South Dakota to serve with Admir-
al Nimitz, SO we left that day via
destroyer.
We had breakfast on the destroy
err which all enjoyed as we had to
leave our ship at the first sign of
| dawn. This was our first time on
a destroyer for several of us and
as the sea was calm we enjoyed
the novelty. We accompanied the
/ first group of ships into Tokyo
| Bay which guess received little
publicity back in the states. The
night before we entered the Bay
we anchored in Sagami Wan which
is a short distance away. From
there we had our first view of the
| famous Mt. Full which was quite
a picturesque view. Our ship had
a large number of high ranking
military men during surrender GER
