A Tribute To The
Late Mrs. Peoy

In the passing August 5, of Mrs.
Helen Peay, another prominent
pioneer went to her reward and
Libby lost citizen, whose place
in the community will long be
missed and cannot be filled. She
was daughter of Judge Conrade
r. Hoffman who moved to Libby in
1892, serving as one of the towns
first justice Of the peace Her
brother, Archie Hoffman was also
prominent in the community's civic
affairs, serving for many years as
chief of Libby's volunteer fire de-
partment. Her husband, John S.
Peay, preceded her in death Is
years ago.
Mrs. Peay fully exemplified the
traditions of her family by her own
work for the welfare Of the com
munity. A member of the Park
board and the Cemetery associa-
ton, she helped in the organization
Of these community projects, giving
unstintingly of her time and efforts
to their advancement. She also took
an active part in the starting Of the
library, giving it hours of her time.
The library was project of the
Libby Woman's Club, of which Mrs.
Peay was charter member, serv-
ing for years as the organizations
treasurer and was active in its
various departments. She was espe-
cially interested in the civic de-
partment and one of her chief pleas
ures was helping to further any
project which would be for the bet
terment of Libby. She was one of
the first trustees Of the Pioneer So
ciety which was ORGANIZED in 1924,
serving it as its first treasurer, and
later as secretary. She also served
for many years as the chairman Of
her election board.
Deeply interested in Christian en-
deavor, Mrs. Peay served the Chris
tian Science Church as clerk-treas-
urer for 80 years, being a member
of the congregation since 1911. She
also served at various times as read
er for the church, in all devoting IL
years to this work. Her time was
not all spent in civic and church
work, for she also took an active
part in the community's business
life, assisting her brother, Archie
in the management of the Electric
Store until the business was sold.
Mrs. Peay's was busy life, life
which made many contacts that re-
suited in enduring friendships and
permanent uDlift To the community
she loved. AS the years come and
60, her good deeds will continue
to bless many who never knew her;
fond recollections will linger in the
minds OF her friends as a fragrant
memory, and mayhap the words OF
the following verse will*often come
to them as they pause to remember

Labor Day Was
Celebrated
in Libby
Many Contests held the
Interest of a Large
Assembly at Park
A COLORFUL PARADE
LIST EVENT OF DAY

Another Labor Day celebration
has become history in libby, large
crowd attending the festivities
which were put on by the Lumber
& SaWmill Workers Union No. 1881
and the Logger's Local No. 1862.
Monday was a perfect day for the
celebration and early in the morn
ing crowds began gathering down
town by 10 a. m. when the parade
began, streets were filled with cars
and pedestrians. The snappy Junior
VFW drum & bugle corps from
Whitefish headed the parade be-
hind the colors stepping off with
enthusiasm and precision. Following
the musical aggregation, came the
representation from the Libby
VIEW, the Libby Fire Department
and carrier and lift trucks from the
]. Neils Lbr Co., with many cars,
and the union members marching
on foot.
In passing, it might be well to
call attention again to the lack Of
courtesy shown by some men as
the Colors passed by in parade.
Many failed to uncover, or show re-
spect in any way. All persons are
expected when the flag passes, to
stand at attention with the right
hand placed flat overSthe heart In
case man is wearing a hat, he is
expected to remove the same and
grasp it in the right hand, holding
it over his heart.
The parade concluded at the Ball
Park, where the program for the
day was held. The grand stand was
filled to capacity by the large
crowd and many were also on the
ground in front of the stand. Here
the interest centered on the many
contests of the day. A full schedule
OF races for the children was held
and many prizes were given Neither
the names of the entries nor of the
winners were recorded.
Main interest during the MORN
ing centered in the various woods
contests, which were won by the
