OFFICIAL PAPER FOR LINCOLN
COUNTY

Last week the various commit
tees for the coming year were an
nounced by the local Chamber Of
Commerce. This is fine start
and the organization deserves the
support of all Libby folks who are
interested in their oWn and the
towns welfare. Back your Chamber
of Commerce.
The organization will make mis-
takes of course-all organizations
and all mortaIs do. II IS G.. right to
mention mistakes which can be rec
tified-especially to the ones who
make them. 1t does not help anyone
to make a public howl if things
don't go just as you think they
should All worthwhile organiza-
tions welcome constructive criticism.
Maybe we should say, constructive
suggestions.
Folks who make a success of any
business, are always watching for
suggestions which they may use in
improving their business. Some
times it's bit difficult to smile and
thank the critic, especially if he
Cor she) has not been too diplomatic.
1t. pays however, to remember that
the proper use Of criticism does
much to bring us success.
As a last word on criticism, we
would advise all critics TO be both
sparing and diplomatic--if they
would not lose their popularity!
The writer of this colin now
knows what it is to be a college
father Our lone and only" is
many miles away attending school
in Denver and the old house is
strangely quiet and lonesome. How
ever college parents have so
much less to feel lonesome about
!. than the hundreds of thousands of
Service parents" during the past
few years, that one most hesitates
to plead guilty of even ordinary
human feelings!
Speaking Of the recent paper con-
servation campaign made by the
government. We believe govern
ment agencies should lead and not
drive AS an example, we would
mention the receipt of 6xo sheet
of paper received last week 1t
carried Public Proclamation No. "a
as Of September 4, l945 and was
mailed from the office of the Com
handing General in San Francisco
in a 10x15 envelope! Consistency
is a worthwhile virtue-even in
governmental and military circles.
With the waterfowl season open
ing today in the Northern shooting
zone, we self-styled sportsmen will
have opportunity to discover Wheth-
er we deserve that honorable title
or whether we are merely mas
querading under high sounding
title but are not true "SpOrtsmen"
