Bear in
.Doorydrd

There's only one thing in this
country to be afraid of, it has been
said.
No poisonous snakes or insects
A fine. country, but some bad
bears"
AT least one lady in Lincoln coun-
ty is not afraid Of bears. Mrs. Ham,
ilton Hough was washing the break
fast dishes Thursday before leaving
for work. She thought she saw
dark object move in one corner of
the yard. But when Ia didn't seem
to move again she dismissed the
idea as just imagination. As she was
wiping the last dish she gave sud-
den start for the black object was
shifting around only rs feet from
the house, and furthermore it was
a BEAR! \
Without hesitation she ran for
the % rifle and opening the kitch-
en- window, aimed carefully for
bruins eye Crack! It was dead
center" hit! Mrs. Hough became ex-
cited then and emptied the maya
zine into the beast When the smoke
lifted a bit, there lay bruin as
dead as a bear can be.
The bear weighed 275-lbs. and its
age was estimated at about three
years. The lady says, she'll have
the hide tanned. Mrs. Hough is a
stenographer in the Universal Zono-
lite Insulation office in Libby but
lives miles out on Pipe creek.

Even those nuisances which trou-

Following were several messages
of American prisoners of war held
by the Japanese, among which they
read one from James Rubard, son
of Mr.. and Mrs John Rubard of
Libby, who has been prisoner at
Osaka prison camp since the out
break Of the war.
The message contained words OF
endearment for the entire family,
each ones name being called off,
saying Love to Mother, Dad, Phyl-
lis and Betty. Health and morale
good. No photos" More was said
which wasn't understandable.
Mrs. John Rubard received a tel
egram from the War Department at
noon today, Thursday, verifying the
radio message that Mrs. McMullen
heard Tuesday in regard to James
They had intercepted the message
almost word for word as Mrs Nc
Mullen had heard it.

Dutch Wave FIogs
In Appreciation

T/Sgt Ellsworth Barr, son OF Mrs.
Edna Wink of Libby, writes his sis
ter, Mrs. C. M. Rayson from Eng
land, May s. His letter follows.
This morning at 0800 hours, the
Germans of occupied Holland Of
ficially surrendered and at 1000
hours we were dropping food near
Amsterdam. For the first time in
five years, Dutch flags were flying.
There was flag flying from ev-
cry house and windmill and more
The people were waving flags at
us, as well as pillow cases, table
cloths, handerchiefs, and everything
Wearable. They were waving their
appreciation of the food and also in
celebration of their liberation. We
buzzed a few villages and houses
in a little celebration Of our own.
The Dutch people entered into the
spirit and waved all the harder 1t
gave me wonderful feeling to see
how happy and appreciative those
people were and to know that
had a small part in making their
happiness possible.
Those people are really starving
Some of them are SO far gone that
the only way they can be saved is
to feed them intraveinously until
they are strong enough to eat. That
is what will be done for them just
as soon as our doctors and nurses
can get to them.
Holland is beautiful country l
would like very much to visit it.
There is very little of it left to be
beautiful as compared to the origi-
nal country. The Germans cut the
bikes to flood a great deal of it.
That land is ruined for years 10
come.
| Holland, Belgium, France and
Germany, after complete surrender,
are going to require lot of food.
Much of it will without a doubt
have to come from America. The
German people were much better
off than the people of the occupied
countries, but in many parts Of
Germany the people are starving
Prisoners of war, as you see by the
papers, were starved to death. All
the pictures and articles you have
seen and read about German in
human cruelty to prisoners are en-
tirely true. | hardly believe you
have seen the worst of the pictures
