LINCOLN COUNTY is
TAGGING IN QUOTA

Montana was the first state to go
over the top in the 7th War Loan
drive, nosing out Mississippi by a
close margin. However to do this
meant that some counties had to go
over their quotas in order to make
up for some who have Jagged. It
is somewhat embarrassing to add
that we as a county find ourselves
in the latter class.
However there are several days
left In which to redeem our stand
ing with our boys overseas, and we
understand the margin is narrow
enough tor determined effort on
the part of Lincoln county citi-
zens to put us over the top. J. A.
Krall, chairman of the Libby drive
has asked us to appeal to all the
citizens of Libby and Lincoln coun-
ty as well to purchase those needed
bonds and put the county over on
or before next Saturday, June 80.

Patrol Forest

Considerable speculation regard
ing the identity of the strange fly
ers circling over Lincoln county,
was INDUCED in Saturday. It proved
to be detail of veteran flyers re-
turned from jungle duty over bur
ma and India, who are now on
combat duty at Ft. Missoula
Capt. O'Conner, Geiger Field,
Spokane was in charge of the de-
tail and explained that the group
is doing practice flying and will as
sist the forest service with its pa
troll work during the summer
months, which are the danger
months for forest fires. The group
is scheduled to make regular pa
trolls here at stated intervals dur
ing the next few months.
O'Connor stated that the flyers
have been looking forward with
pleasure to flying over the Koo-
tenai forest, and that their flights
Saturday entirely measured up to
all expectations; and all are eager
to continue with the patrol work
Three army flyers from Spokane
informally joined the detail Sat
urday. The assignment is a pleas
/ ing contrast from their recent du-
ties in the japanese war zones.
The army details are a part of a
'shook-up" with the coming in
creased aerial fire-control program
and should do much to assist in
preventing fires gaining Roadway
