their tests Wednesday and Thurs
day Of last week in Kalispell, and
came through in good shape.
Albert Austin of the forest serv-
ice also was in Kalispell and will
receive a student flyers certificate.
A private license, such as was re-

plane anywhere but of course does
not allow him to do commercial
flying.
Libby is becoming more and more

The Western News does not hest
tate to predict that it will probably
be only matter of a few years
maybe only months until there will
be at least one home-owned plane
in the community. When this comes
to pass, hanger will also become
necessary and should soon follow.
Air travel will become more and
more common as time passes by,
and undoubtedly when the United
States can once more turn to peace
time pursuits, this form of travel
will grow into undreamed of popu-
larity. The community is fortunate
in having men who are air minded

Aboard the USS Shangri-La in
the Pacific.-Clayton M. Nelson,
seaman, first class, Libby, Mont,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Mel
son, serves aboard this great air
craft carrier which today is very
real source of danger to the Japs
and not just the mythical base pop
ularized three years ago when the
Doolittle raiders hit Tokyo.
Planes from the Shangri-La
helped defeat the Japs in the re-
cent OkinaWa campaign, raining
bombs, rockets and bullets on en-
envy pillboxes, caves, airfields, and
communications centers, in support
of ground troops.
Not long ago this carrier was just
an idea in the minds Of the Ameri-
can people who had listened to the
late President Roosevelt tell the
world that 1t. Gen. James Doolit-
ties planes had raided Japan's ca
ita1 from "Shangri-La.'
Through nationwide campaign
that idea became reality as people
bought war bonds to build the car
rier. AS soon as news of her con-
struction was released, the Navy de-
partment was flooded with requests
from men asking to serve on her.
Soon she was nicknamed "The
Tokyo Express
