Libby Troy Working Circle were
discussed. The Cooperative Unit

planned They would benefit the
communities of Libby and Troy re-
spectively if they can be success

other end of the County, the For
tine Working Circle, is being
contemplated as another Federal
Unit. Residents of Lincoln County
are so dependent upon forest pro-
ducts and their continued produc-

noteworthy

Tragic Climax
Is Result Of
Drunkenness
Mixing of Booze and
Gasoline Responsible
For Many Deaths
MONTANA OFFICER
CITES ONE OF CASES

Entirely too many people are
mixing booze with their gasoline"
says Chas. l.. Sheridan, Supervisor
Montana Highway Patrol. Our rec
ords show that we have averaged IS
arrests month for this type Of vio-
lation in the last six months, but we
don't get near all of them, and
feel that the people Of Montana
should know the situation. II they
do, / am sure that we will get
better cooperation.
There was an accident. or one
might say case of suicide and
wholesale murder upon the Highline
the other day. A man had been
drinking all afternoon in one of
the small towns up there. He had
been drinking to the extent Of be-
coming quarrelsome and being put
out of the saloon where he was
drinking. He got into his car with
his small son, aged nine, and drove
out onto the highway at a high rate
of speed. About eight miles from
his starting point he ploWed head
on into car containing four people;
a man, his wife and two small sons,
aged IL and IL. The impact killed
the man who had been drinking and
his little boy That was too bad,
but it also killed the other driver
and his wife and put both of his
little boys in the hospital one of
them with both legs broken and
skull fracture, the other also badly
hurt.
"Ycs, this was all too bad, but
doubly SO because it was all so I'M
necessary and because it could have
been prevented. In the first place,
this man should have known better
than to have tried to drive car in
his condition. In the second place,
lot of people had seen him drink
ing that afternoon and some of them
should have prevented him from
leaving town in his car or have
called the officers SO that they
could have taken care of him.
"The public should be more in
terested in a case of this kind be-
cause none Of us know when it may
hit home with US This farmer and
his family, which was all but wiped
out in that collision, had a perfect
right on the highway. They had
been to town and were on their way
home with their weeks supplies.
One moment all was calm and or
derby and the next father and moth
er were dead and both little boys
orphaned, broken and bleeding; all
because an irresponsible man had
thought he was Barney Oldfield
when he had a few drinks.
THE moral is plain-senSible
men will never drive when they
have been drinking and the public
should combine to see that the ir-
responsible do not drive. Our rec
ords show that in one out of five
fatal accidents liquor is involved
rs or 80 persons killed every year
in Montana because some one mixed
booze with his gas.
I'VE, of the Patrol, have been do
ing, and will do all within our pow
er to take this menace off of our
highways, but our numbers are
limited-we can't be every place at
once, SO for your own protection we
appeal to the public to assist us in
keeping this menace off the high
ways. If you see some one getting
into car and you feel that they are
not fit TO drive, do something about
about it. If you can't handle the
situation yourself, call the nearest
officer and let him handle it. It
may save life. =
