At School Election

Discussing the school election al
Lions Club Monday evening, mem.
bers were urged to exert their in
fluence in arousing a city-wide in
! terest in the approaching election
which will be held from to 6 D. m.
Saturday, April at the old Cen
trail School Building.
Two positions on the board are
to be filled at the election. They
are the three-year position occupied
by Dr. Roy M. Sherman, and the
two-year trusteeship which has been
served by James Hendrickson. It
is said opposition is improbable
should the two men file for re-
election
All filings must be at least five
days prior to election day and
should be made with Lloyd Burpee,
clerk of the board Any five quail
fled electors can nominate candi-
dates for one or both positions by
filing the name or names with the
clerk during the period open for
filing.
Another important matter to be
considered and voted upon at the
election, is an additional three mills
levy needed for caring for the adj
ditional teacher-wages for next
year. The approximate sum is S.
600.
The total turnout at the last school
election was Is. 1t is hoped that
a greater interest in this vital mat
ter will be shown this year.
Later; We have learned that Mrs.
R. W. LeDuc, who is a good bust
and has a vital interest
in the schools, has filed for the
LWo-year trusteeship.

Red Cross Will
Close Drive

This years Red Cross Fund Drive
IS nearing the end as March 81 i.
the last day of the campaign. Have
| you sent in your contribution to this
most important and worthwhile
work?
The quota for the South Lincoln
County Chapter is $4,000, an
amount much smaller than that of
last year. Nevertheless the need for
funds to carry on Red Cross work
is still most pressing. If you have
not already done so, you'd better
contribute your membership dollar
and have part in this humanitar-
ian enterprise.
If you are a resident of Libby or
vicinity, send or hand your con-
tribution to Mrs. H. S. Hepner,
drive chairman. If you reside in
Troy, Eureka, or some other section
of the county, look up your Red
Cross representative and hand in
your donation.
The Red Cross still has a much
needed work to perform. There
is a world of it to be done for rea
turned soldiers. Members of our
armed forces in foreign fields still
need Red Cross services. For ex-
ample:
On January 81 the Red Cross was
operating IT'S clubs and recreationaI
facilities for American troops in the
various theatres of the world. In
Germany there were $50 such clubs,
in Japan l04, in Italy 81, in France
u, the Philippines had SIS, Korea 43, I
India u, Austria Is, Okinawa "a,
England and Belgium each had II, .
China II, Morocco 9, Egypt had 3,
Libya, Algeria, French West At
lea and Kwajalein each had one.
Here's a little incident, one of
many acts of kindness the Red
cross is performing daily:
'acific Veteran Given Needed Loan
He was in Tokyo when he OBJ
aimed discharge because of the
Ieath of his father and the serious
ondition of his mother. At Scott
leld, Ill, en- route to an eastern
eparation center, he told his prob
EN- to the Red Cross. The 81 he :
ad was inadequate for rail trans
ortation; aH-other transportation
Jas unavailable for several days and ]
ven then uncertain. His record !
bowed he had a Class E allotment
$45 and a Class F deduction of

olks at home. He had money at t
ONE but hesitated to wire his t
lother because of her condition and v
lie Red Cross could contact no one n
n approval of a loan. The field
rector decided to give the soldier z
grant of $50 and felt he had done d
I'M real and deserving service.

STUDENT HELD IN
$4,000 BONDS
William Heirens Faces
Possible Indictment On
Is Assault Charges

CHICAGO, July 3.-(P)- William
Heirens, 17-year-old university of
Chicago student whose finger and
palm prints, prosecutors said, are
identical to those on the Suzanne
Degnan kidnap note, was held for
the grand jury under $270, 900 bond
Wednesday on Is charges of as
sault or burglary.
Although the action assured Off
cials of further custody of the
youth, pending further investiga-
ton of the Degnan case, they are
prevented under the law from ques-
tioning him further without his con-
sent.
Tests Fail
Throughout nearly five days OF
intermittent questioning, Heirens
has denied any knowledge of the
kidnap-slaying last January 7 of
the six year old Degnan girl. He
has undergone two lie detector tests
but prosecutors said he was 'un-
c~ooperative'' and that the results
were ''inconclusive."
The FBI and the Police Bureau
of Identification have reported that
Heirens' finger and palm print
were Identical to those found on
a ransom note demanding $40, 900
from the Degnans.
To Present Charges
Evidence on the Is charges will
be placed before a grand jury Tues
day and Wednesday,, Assistant
States Attorney Richard B. Aus
tin said.
Bond was set at $4,000 Wednes-
day on each of four charges OF
assault to murder and at SlO,0O0
on each of 81 burglary charges.
Heirens' counsel said previously
no effort would be made to pro-
vide bond. None of the charges
involved the Degnan case.
