Public Add To
Fire Hazards
Says Chief
Dalton LamOrie Home Was
Burned Thursday; Fire
OF Unknown Origin

Fire of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the contents q
the Dalton Lamorie home at 81
Louisiana Ave. The b1aze was diG-
covered between $50 and 500
Thursday afternoon a last week
The f1nily had all been sboenk
for about an hour when neiehboE8
noticed fire bursting from the win
dows md roof The Libby Fire com
pany was on the scene immediately
and in 4 very short time had tn
blaze under control
The furniture and contents At
the house we've entirely Destroyed
md the building itself, was badly
Quilted and damaged both ffo6n
the flames and water Mr.. Lamorie
will have the house repaired q
soon as possible. The damage was
partially covered by insurance.
An added source OF regret from
the fire, Is the fact a new piano
had just been installed the night
before In the home and after les8
than "a hours OF use became total
loss.
Fire Chief George Wood and
Chief Of Police George Bryant have
requested The News to call atten-
ton to the citizens of Libby that
they are prohibited by city ordi-
nance from coming within block
of any fire which is being fought
by the department. The officials
have been thoughtful of the public
and have not objected to its ap-
preaching to distance of only a
half block. However il more
thoughtfulness is not used by on
lockers the letter of the law will
have to be enforced. Last Thurs
day the crowd pushed right in till
they handicapped the work of the
firemen, making it difficult to
perform efficient work. This works
a hardship not alone on the fire
men but on the owner of the burn
ing building. If it were your home
you would resent some idle specta

Endorse Petition
Legal Vote

ecutive Board of the Montana Dis
trict Council of Lumber and Saw
mill Workers, in executive session
at Kalispell today ratified and en-
Worsed petitions for a legal strike
vote, under the terms of the Smith
Connaly act, submitted by 13 of its
affiliated local unions.
The proposed strike vote, if TAX
en-, will directly affect % major
saWmills and logging operations in
the lumber area of the state Of
Montana; with others indirectly at
fected. The vote will be taken by
the National Labor Relations Board
among approximately 1000 mem
bers of the Lumber and Sawmill
Workers in Montana, simultaneous
ly with other strike votes to be
taken throughout the entire west
ern lumber industry of Montana,
Idaho, Washington and California.
The Councils Executive Commit
tee, in making public today's de-
cision, announce that it is the re-
suit of long and continued dissat-
isfaction, among the membership of
the Union, with the continued re-
fusal Of the National War Labor
Board to grant wage increases in
the western lumber industry. The
last wage increase, granted by the
Boards West Coast Lumber Com
mission, January 6, 1913, was a
theoretical seven and one-half cent
increase, which in some cases re-
suited in an actual increase of only
two and one-half cents per hour
in the Montana area. Union officials
also claim that the Boards action
in January 6, l943 set up a dis
criminatory differential, which es-
tablished Wage in Montana seven
and one half cents per hour below
wages awarded in other areas, and
SO far the Board has refused to rec
tify this condition. The Executive
Committee states that there will be
no simultaneous walk-outs autho-
rized, and that any work stoppage
that may take place will be strictly
| in accordance with Government
wartime policies. The Committee
made it clear that, should the gov
eminent agencies determine that
the production of lumber is still
vital to the war effort, the Govern
ment will be expected to take over
and operate the industry. in order
to avoid work stoppages until the
cispute has been settled.

Libby Man In
Sea Battles

File Darby Petrusha, son of Mr.
and Mrs. M. M. Petrusha arrived
home Wednesday of last week to
spend his leave with the family and
~other friends. Daryl came from
San Francisco after completing a
Is months cruise on the destroyer
u. S. S. Marshal 676 D. D.
The Marshal was near LuZon last
December and in the same typhoon
which took the life Of a Libby man,
Lit Nolop. Our ship was just
luckier than Nolop's,' remarked Pc
trusha. I'VE were in all the opera
tons from the Marshalls to and in
GLIDING the first carrier raid on
Japan the first of this year
One of the nastiest engagements
the young sailor was IN occurred
April IA when the Marahal in COM
pany with four other destroyers
and escorted by four American
Hellcats was attacked by 81 Jap
planes. The pace was fast and fur
ious, and several bad fires were
started on the Marshal, while it was
accounting for seven of the attack
ing planes 1t might have been
"Davy Jones Locker" for the Amer
lean ships had it not been for the
Hellcats which finally in spite Of
heavy odds, turned the tide in ia
vor of the Americans.
Darryl's ship also participated in
the first raids off the China coast
in the China Sea, all the way from
Cameron Bay to Hongkong. On one
occasion off the Philippines the
crew watched an American cruiser
sink japanese cruiser. The next
day they passed close in by the
scene of the battle and saw about
$50 Jap sailors afloat on wreckage.
All the Japs who desired to be
rescued by the Americans were
picked up, but only four of the
enemy cared to be saved by the
Yanks. The balance were sent to
join their ancestors. Another time
the Marshal picked up a ship
wrecked Jap crew of A men who
had been adrift for % days. The
Japs were not very enthusiastic re-
garding rescue by Americans but
after few days on board the u. S.
ship and in spite of a not any too
great amount of friendship being
shown by our men, the prisoners
! decided the Yanks were not near
ly as bad as they had been told
and were well pleased with their
lot.
The Libby sailor received the
Western News while away and re-
marked that he read each copy
from beginning to end. His brother
Bob is on LIST duty in the Pacific
with a WT3/c rating. The lads were
members of the class of AS but
Daryl enlisted while sophomore
Bob will probably receive his di.
ploma from Libby High as of las
May, and Daryl expects to com.

respondence. Like most of the mer
in the service, he looks eagerly for

over, he can once more come home

Beer Stories With
A Few Bore Facts

Since the origin of mankind bear
stories have held a strange fascina-
ton for human beings, and while
the old proverb, Times change
and we change with them" is just
as true today as it was several
thousand years ago at its beginning,
the thrill Of bear stories continues
to intrigue human interest.
Many Lincoln families enjoyed a
few days over the 4th in their
woods cabins Among them was the
Darrell Shaurette family. Mrs.
Shaurette had parted with several
of her choice red points for chops
and little cheese. When the cabin
was reached, the food was placed in
an iron bucket and sunk in the
wilderness refrigerator, the creek.
The bucket was carefully weighted
down by several heavy stones on
the lid.
The children, Lenora and Sherry
went out to wade, Mr.. Shaurette
was fishing at distant spot, and
Mrs. Shaurette was asleep in the
hammock. Suddenly she was awak-
ened by the piercing screams OF
Lenora and Sherry, who insisted
there was bear near the cabin
and they had seen it. Mrs. Shau-
rette went into the house with the
children and then cautiously looked
out the window. There, sure enough
was large black bear standing or
his hind legs, shifting eagerly to-
ward the cabin--or could it have
been toward the buried treasure If
the creek?
Later that afternoon Mr.. Shau
rette returned with his limit O
fine trout The family excitedly
told of the curious bear, but since
their fisherman did not seem much
perturbed and was slightly inclinet
to laugh at their apprehension, tn,
bear was soon forgotten and al
gathered around to listen to tn
tale of the big ones that got away
Later, supper time arrived an,
