trappings. But he is no stranger
TO the non-musical drama.
Just few seasons ago he
toured as the drama critic in
Arsenic and Old Lace" and early
in his acting life he supported
Cyril Maude in Aren't We AL"
Between those dramatic bitches
he has been in some of the most
song-and-dance shows
Of our time. Trained in the mask
and wig shows at the University
of Pennsylvania, Whiting chose
the "Ziegfeld Follies" as the
bridge on which TO cross over
from amateuriSm.

projects the city could sponsor. An
other splendid project which is con-
sidered for the future is an esti-
mated $4,000 school Improvement

Of course this program hinges on
favorable action. by congress on the

merchants


With the coming return of au-
tomobile, radio and other pre-war
sales which have been off the mar
ket for the duration, there has
been sentiment that the Lincoln
County Merchants Assn should be-
gin functioning again for the es-
Enlistment of credit, both at home
and abroad. In accord with this
view, a meeting was called for
Tuesday evening by the secretary,
Fl. B. Wallace.
A good representation from the
city's business houses was present,
and the purposes and plans for OPP
GRAFTON of the organization were
briefly outlined by the secretary
and thoroughly discussed by those
present. The organization does not
expect to curtail nor recommend
credit for any Individual or group
OF individuals, but will keep an ac-
curate record on the credit stand
ing of all citizens, which will be
available to members of the or
ganization and others.
Practically every progressive city
has such an organization which is
an aid to the buying public and
merchants as well, by making credit
purchases easy for those who are
prompt in meeting their obligations,
and protecting the retailer from
poor accounts.

Discuss I temperance
At 'Womon's Club

Temperance was presented in ar
entirely different type of talk
Tuesday afternoon at the regular
meeting of the Libby Womans Club
when Miss Ahlida Ballagh, repre-
sentative of the national organiza-
ton of the united temperance
movement, spoke. Miss Ballagh
who was in Libby to speak at the
teachers meeting held that day in
the city, pointed out that in pre-
senting the question of alcohol
what it is and what it does, one
must avoid the use of the words
prohibition, temperance or poison
if attention is to be secured. BY
means of cleverly arranged kit
and the use of the scientific APP
proach the speaker made it easy for
one to see by comparison and con-
conclusions of their own just what
alcohol did do.
During the business meeting OF
the club Mrs. Walter Neils an
nounced that the Junior club had
taken over the Girl Scout project
Mrs. Lloyd Hunter read a paper
on the music of Russia. She told
how Russian folk music is made
up of songs of truth, songs telling
real stories of their life Since life
in Russia is not easy, the songs are
not predominately gay and light
hearted
Two Russian songs were sung by
Mrs Oliver Phillips. None But the
Lonely Heart and Nothing Mat
ters' Miss Inez Ratekin accompan-
led her at the piano.
The program chairman, Mrs H. S.
Hepner introduced Mrs. O. L. Gil
lespie, who reviewed a magazine
article from Life, Soviet Russia
and Our Contacts With II" Mrs.
Hepner gave short reviews of the
lives of Karl Marx and Stain. She
also reviewed an article "SkyWays
to Russia" which told many inter
esting things concerning how that
country is living.
The Club will meet again on
Tuesday, Nov. 10.
