All can say is that apparently
many families see each other only
at meals. During wartime many
families ate in public places and
this gave them no other time to
discuss plans or settle disputes.
However, good taste requires that
all these things be done at home.
Maintain Privacy
EVEN at home we must take note
of the thickness of walls and doors.
People of fastidious taste keep the
doors closed upon all details of
their private lives, important or
trivial, pleasant or unpleasant.
Those who tell the neighborhood
every domestic happening, who
laugh or cry, exult or complain.
may think themselves free and nat
ural. but actually they are ill-bred.
During wartime nearly all of us
have felt tolerant about certain
displays of petting in public -
those of soldier or sailor and his
girl huddled close together. 1t was
impossible not to feel sympathetic
toward couple who might be
bidding each other farewell.
However, with the resumption
of peacetime standards of good
taste, public petting should come
to an end.
Because of the strain under
which we have been living, self
control has required exceptional
will power. Those who realize this
have been tolerant of occasional
shortcomings. And they have
shown tolerance for all displays of
emotion due to war sorrow.

During wartime we were
tolerant toward displays
of emotion, but what's
in good taste now?
ATow that the war is over, we
must become more aware of
our manners in public, to meet the
normal requirements of quiet, dig
nifed and courteous behavior.
The display of emotion in public
places - such as petting on park
benches or in the lobbies of hotels,
prevalent in wartime - does not
belong in a peacetime world.
We can continue to be sympa-
thetic, however, with certain other
emotional displays. Sometimes a
person with war-torn nerves flares
I'D in a temper or breaks down in
public at something inconsequen-
tial. We know this will be un-
avoidable for some time - and,
at moments, for always.
On the other hand, there is no
excuse for continual fiare-ups of
uncontrolled irritability or for any
other lapses of restraint. The es-
sence of courtesy is self-control.

unaware of any need for walls.
when dining out l have found
myself forced to eavesdrop upon
the private affairs of the occupants
of nearby tables. One wife. for
example, kept objecting to the
number of cocktails her husband
drank. A man protested about his
check in an ill-tempered voice.

guests. A novel program was pre-

of these main points and in turn
introduced Speaker Number Two
who continued the story and thus
the trend of the theme was carried
on until IN all there were nine
speakers. The idea of alternating a
man and woman speaker pleased
the audience. Pinochle was played.
The high prize for the ladies went
to Miss Irene Lode, for the men to
John Bags. A. Y. Dunkle received
low prize for the men and Mrs.

GREETINGS

For many years the Littell fam
lily has vacationed in the mountains,
and long ago decided should we
ever change our residence, our new
home would be in mountain state.
Summer trips brought us into north
west Montana which appealed to us
as an ideal location should we seek
a new home.
After owning and publishing The
Citizen-Patriot in Atwood, Kansas,
for over % years, last summer We
sold the newspaper and took a six
months rest. During that period we
checked newspapers and county seat
towns from near the Mexican bor-
der to the Canadian line, and west
to the Pacific coast There are many
fine newspapers available in inter-
esting towns, but nowhere did we
find a combination which hos the
appeal for us that has The Western
News and Libby.
We feel especially fortunate in
being able to come to the helm Of
newspaper which has the excel
lent standards established by Mr.
Rowe during the years Of his man
agement of this publication. He has
set high standard to aim for, and
I'VE shall endeavor to maintain
those standards and keep abreast
of progress in these fast changing
times. At all times we will boost
for Libby, Lincoln county and Mon.

which we consider essential to the
welfare of our town and country

equally certain that Libby and Lin,

activity to keep boredom

light activity to keep boredom
away.
In this our goodbye we wish To
express our deep thanks for the
many kindnesses, cooperation and
patronage extended to us in the %
years of our work here. We hope
we shall have many more happy
years as part Of the life Of LIBBY
and of the county.
We are convinced we are turning
the paper over to competent hands.
Mr.. Littell is a successful news
paper man with many years expcr-
fence in that profession. IN his
home town of Atwood, he has been
active in all civic affairs. He has
been mayor Of that city, president
of their chamber Of commerce and
president of their Rotary CLUB In
this day when it is said every man
should have a hobby, it can be said
that Mr. Littell's hobby-or chief
means of relaxation is big game
hunting. He has hunted in the
Rocky Mountain district throughout
the Southwest and West, northWard
across the international boundary
and in the Peace river district of
Canada. The Kansas state chamber
of commerce has said Mr.. Littell's
collection Of big game trophies is
the largest in Kansas. The Rotai y
magazine recently gave him a page
write-up as big game hunter.
Mr. Littell is accompanied to
Libby by his wife and young lady
daughter, who will matriculate in
her college work next fall in a
journalism course. Also by an aunt.
He has purchased the Frank Pival
house and will reside there. We
bespeak for him and his family the
same generous support and kindly
treatment that have always been
accorded us.

Dear Western News.
Your editorial in news of 9th
inst, headed, NO Place For An In
competent, arouses thoughts as to
former vice president and prospec-
tive secretary Of commerce, Henry
A. Wallace, and also as to Jesse
Jones, ex-secretary of commerce.
the latter man being distinguished
by his catering to the big boys" Of
Wall Street and for allowing the
Dutch East Indies rubber supply to
slip into Japan's hands.
No one disputes the allegation that
an incompetent official is misplaced
in the cabinet as secretary Of COM
merce and ex-officio head of the
reconstruction finance corporation.
The President of the United
States, a man of outstanding ability
himself, is over all of the cabinet
officers and each is responsible to
him as to his official actions, as such
cabinet member
Mr.. Roosevelt recognizes the
ability and fitness and has selected
as his administrator of the cabinet
post Of secretary of commerce, Hen
ry A. Wallace and intended that
the latter have the usual loan pow
ers of the head of RFC
As secretary of agriculture and
ex-officio head of the Commodity
Credit Corporation, Wallace made
loans amounting to $4,000, 100000,
a sum greater than all Of Jones
loans, and all Of the Gees loans
so made have been repaid
Evidently YOU have been misin-
formed re @Wallace's Farmers" al.
legged failure. Actually Wallace $
Farmer merely merged with ans
other farm periodical in Des Moines
Ia, and its name is still retained
as part of the name of the present
farm monthly. At a recent hearing
before a u. S. Senate committee
it was shown that Henry A. Wallace
never owned any stock in the Wal
lace's Farmer corporation, had no
hand in its business management
and was merely a salaried editor,
that the business manager saw fit to
merge and did that; the same Sen
ate hearing developed that the only
corporation Henry A. Wallace is or
ever has been stakeholder and an
official of is the Iowa Hybrid Corn
Seed Co, of Des Moines, this con-
Germ having been developed from q
nominal beginning to one doing a
business Of $4,000,000 annually and
having a bank loan value of assets
of 100000 Not SO bad for an in
competent" and dreamer.
Men such as Wallace are need
ed in the cabinet, instead of mere
agents of the "big-boys' the Nor
gans, DuPonts, Montana Power
Company, Anaconda Copper Co.
Mccormick and others of their ilk
Wallace is an outstanding liberia
and progressive, and for such quail
ifications, not his ability, he is be-
ing fought by the tories of both
parties.
Certainly, Herbert Hoover wa.
not of more than mediocre ability a!
