His letter follows.
Alsace, February Is, 1945
Dear Mr.. Rowe:
Sometimes it doesn't seem quite
possible that I'm working on my
third overseas service stripe. The
landing at Oran is still very vivid
in my memory. AT that time l was
pretty green when it came to this
foreign country business and / mar
yelled at the various scenes, the
Arabs and their mode of living,
transportation, and the difference
in costums. / had the usual trouble
changing my money and Of course
was with the guys when they sam
pied the various local beverages.
After arriving in Italy was still
inquisitive but that soon wore off
for the filth in which the majority
lived soon turned my stomach.
There are several high spots in my
memory of ''The Boot. One is the
Kings palace in Caserta. / believe
saw every part of it except the
dungeons. Tim sure there must have
been some.) Another was the post
office at Naples -. A truly beau
tiful building. You will probably
remember of the time bomb which
the Germans left there when they
evacuated. 1t really uprooted one
end Of the place. The vatican, ST.
Peters and Rome itself were in
triguing. | saw as much as possible
in the few days I was there and
made some friends, among whom
were civil engineer, an M. d. and
the wife of Belgian diamond mer-
chant.
The Rivera was the best Of all
and the one place | would like to
visit after hostilities cease. The
weather is all that it is reported to
be and with the exception OF a few
days Of rain the sun shown all the
time The first person I really got
acquainted with there was the
Countess of whom / wrote in a
previous letter. She introduced me
to the Gaumont family who are
famous all over France for the
grandfather was the owner Of the
first motion picture producing COM
pany spent many hours with them
visiting in their castle-like home.
My first experience in flying in
CAT came when a group of us
were transferred from st. Tropez
to Nancy. It was a good ride and
fast. The impression / received of
eastern France was poor for there
was beaucoup mud !. !. and of
the gumbo type.
Since the first Of the year / have
seen most of the towns in this par
ticular section. In our job we sell
dom stay in a town more than two
or three days. I'm sorry to say that
all the moves haven't been adj
vances but now prospects for a ride
through Germany is better.
Due to the weather we requisi-
ton houses in which to live. Some
times they are entire houses, some
times only rooms in inhabited
homes. In general the people are
very nice. One home stands out
wildly in my memory. The father
and II year old son had been con-
scripted by the Germans for the
labor army. Grandma, mama and
the three children couldn' do

P ssing Years
Bring Many
Changes
"reminiscences Bring
To Mind Evidences
of Growth of Libby.
OLD STRUCTURES GONE;
NEW BUILDINGS GO UP
BY Chas. D. Rowe

As | walked down town this
morning was greeted by the clear,
bell-toned song of robin from a
nearby pine tree, his song giving
promise of the not too distant ar
rival OF spring. The sun was we'll
over the mountains to the east and
there was crispness to the frosty
air that made one glad to be alive.
The snowy mantle OF the mountains
sparkled and glistened in the morn
ing sunlight. It was delightful
scene, one that we people of Libby
have learned to love.
Enjoying this view of the shin
ing mountains as / have done so
many times, / again got a thrill
from old Dome standing there 50
rugged and strong in cleft of the
mountains. 1t called wildly to my
mind the first view / had Of that
old mountain when | landed in Lib
BY almost "a years ago. And then
got to thinking of the many i'm
provements that have taken place
in our city during the intervening
years.
The old pioneer depot greeted ne
as | stepped off the train Today
there is our handsome modern de-
pot, one Of which the city can well
be proud. The vacant tract south of
the station was given over to weeds
and brush. Today it is a lovely
little park. Where now stands the
Mcclellan feed store was vacant
land and most of the storage tanks
for gasoline and oil for the various
companies were then not to be
found up and down the railroad
yards. In that spring Of 1923, the
building now housing the Libby
Transfer was little old frame
structure. Now it is a substantial
brick block. The stucco warehouse
adjoining it to the south was va
cant lot Likewise the stucco build
ing now housing the Model Cafe
was then a small frame structure
that since was destroyed by fire.
The postoffice was found in the
brick block where The Play now
holds forth. Across the street to the
south were more vacant lots where
now stands the handsome white
building of the Remp Feed Store.
Where The Tavern now holds forth
was then known as the Windsor
Hotel, a rather down at the heel
affair. Today it gives very worth
while appearance having just re-
Gently been covered with a brick
veneer insulating material The neat
building containing DR.. Roy, Sher-
mans dental offices was then
tumble down shack.
Following down Mineral avenue
we found more vacant lots where
now stands the brick block occu-
pied by the j. c. Penney Company
store. This block was built in 1923
by County Commissioner James
Mahoney. The building now occu-
pied by George Smith with his beer
parlor then housed the Jaqueth &
Charnholm hardware. The ground
where now stands this firms fine
large brick structure held only a
shack or two. The corner where the
L. J. Brown service station now
serves its customers was also va
cant property. Another new build
ing of recent years is the home of

for Better Results !!


OF course, the whole subject of vita
minis is new. We learn more about
them every day. And today, millions
are learning a new and better way to
take their extra vitamins-a more
modern, more natural way thar can
do more good. Discarding earlier
methods of taking vitamins alone, they
now take them in fornfeA Jood!
For latest evidence shows that vita
minis do not work alone They work
most effectively in combination with
certain other food elements-which are
absolutely necessary for best results.
This is the reason SO many people
are changing TO Ovaltine. A specially
fortified food, il contains - besides
vItamins- nearly every precious food

element needed for good health. Espc
oially, those elements necessary for
vitamin-efectiveness.
For example, Vitamin A and protein
are both necessary in cell building
and they're both in Ovaltine Vitamin
81 and fuel-food also act together for
vitality-and they're both in Ovaltine.
Nitamin ID, Calcium and Phosphorus
can't work without each other-and
you get them all in a glass of Ovaltine
made with milk.
SO why not change 10 Ovaltine, as
SO many people are doing? If you're
eating normal meals, glasses of
Ovaltine give you all the extra VITA

bust health.

AUDUBON'S CARACARA
(PolyboruS clteri1pduI.

Caracaras are vulturelike hawks
They are quite abundant in Central
and South America, where they are
considered valuable neighbors. Es-
pecially is this true in the cattle
raising regions, because the birds
are carrion feeders.
These birds are Is inches in
length. All species possess long, un-
feathered legs with yellow feet and
black claws. Their plumage is most
ly black and white. The feathers
on the crown of the head are long
enough to form a crest which may
be erected at will. On their bare
cheeks and chin there are a few
blackish bristles. Caracaras have
bright brown eyes, horn-colored bills
that are compressed and slightly
hooked and red or yellow cere.
Today, this bird is found in linn
tied numbers in Northern and Low
er California, Arizona, Texas, Flor

Take NY Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
The Personal Prnnnunx

@. I'm about to admit defeat.
Can't you show me some simple
way to explain to my English class
why such expressions as, Lets you
and dance with he and William"
simply will not do? I've tried gram
mar, but all it gets me is ''yes'm,'
accompanied by a very blank look.
A. The confusion about the per-
sonal pronouns is due largely to the
obscure profundity of the grammar
books, and their preference for
vague, Latinized terms, instead of
the plain American which we speak
and understand
There are two kinds of personal
pronouns: I'd The pronouns which
act or create action, I, you, he she,
We, they, and (2) those which re-
celVe the action or are acted upon,
me, you, him, her, us, them. Thus:
I struck you; she struck him; We
struck them; they struck us. That
is really all that we need to know
about the pronouns in order to use
them correctly.
For example, in our haraSsed
teachers sentence, Let's you and
udllCC Will llc ellu Wl1lldlli, bIl6iS
are three errors: ID Since ''let's" us
| is short for "let U.s." the first of the
sentence is redundant, Let US you
and I :" co Since "let" is equiva-
lent to permit, allow" or 81 pro-
pose that" the pronouns that fol-
low are acted upon, thus: Let you
and me dance =" just as one
would say, Let me dance :" (3D
The ones to be danced with are also
acted upon. No one would dream
of saying, Let I dance with he"
Let us use simple dash to indi-
cate the action in a sentence Note
how easily it selects the correct
ipronouns:
Let us-dance with-him.
Keep this between-you and me.
They invited-my wife and me.
We girls invited-him and her.
He and she invited-us girls.

personal pronouns, send q stamped, self

There Is ample sway for the
graphic arts in contract bidding.
Methods involving point counts and
tabulation Of the number of aces
held are surely less charming and
frequently less effective than the
drawing of clearly defined pictures.
Where a void suit is held the bid
ding OF slams is greatly facilitated
by the discovery not of the number
of aces partner holds but specifically
which ones.
Today's hand was submitted to
me by Chicago correspondent who
advised that among group of ex-
|perienced pairs who held this lovely
thing none was able to reach the
maximum contract. While they all
sensed the strong likelihood that a
grand slam was there and were
temped to take the bull by the
horns, they were aware of no method
to arrive at a seven bid with as
surance.
submitted the cards to a number
of my favorite partner and, by CO.
incidence for perhaps not), each Of
them made bid for bid the calls
appearing in the diagram above.
The opening bid of one club. the
response of one spade and the rebid
of three spades call for no comment.
North, holding very high-grade
bid himself, never intended to settle
for less than six spades, but If
partner held certain specific cards,
namely the ace of hearts and the
ace of diamonds, the grand slam
would be moral cinch. He there
fore bid four hearts. Normally after
a violent support of a major suit
the naming of another suit would
indicate possession of the ace, but
North had no option but to probe
in this manner. South dutifully
showed the diamond control and
North made another descriptive bid
of five hearts, showing an enormous
two-suiter and apparently giving
the opener further opportunity
to tell something.
South now realized how impor-
tant the ace of hearts must be to
partner and bid six hearts at this
point. This did not express desire
to play at that suit, since spades
had been agreed upon. but was
merely a showing of the ace. 1t.
now became easy for North to con-
tract for grand slam in spades.
Note that South for his previous
bidding might have had a hand
containing the ace and king of clubs
and be lacking the ace of hearts.
The number of aces held was not
| the prime question. 1t was which
ones?
