For Labor Day
by Carol Cannon

Lief Erickson, Democratic Can
didate for United States Senator

to speak briefly to a large gather
ing of baseball fans and Libby citi-
zens assembled to watch the cham

address concerning Labor Day and
the position of Labor in the pres
ent ReconVersion program. Mr.
Erickson credited the victory of
the recent war to the working men
of America and other parts of the
world and said that the predicted
problems of the Reconversion per-
iod had been averted through the
efforts of laboring men throughout
our nation. Instead of an unem-
condition such as we ex-
pected, we find that there are five
more men engaged in steady
occupation that at any other time
in our history.
Mr. Erickson interpreted the
aims of Labor as being q job, econo-
mic security, independence and fair
wages. He stated the position of
Labor in America as one of re-
sponsibility in connection with
domestic and foreign affairs. His
address was punctuated with sew
eral amusing stories and the citi-
zens of Libby were complimented
On their friendly hospitality which |
ne has enjoyed here. He was es-
oecially happy to find here many
foods of which he
S very fond. He regretted that he
arrived to late to see the log-saw-
ng contests, but expressed determi-
nation to be present in time to par
icipate next year. Mr.. Midyett ex-
ended a cordial invitation which
vas accepted by Mr.. Erickson who
his listeners that nothing
would please him more than to
AIRY away the first prize next
His pleasing person
lily won for him the friendship /,
f his audience and he was we'll
by his listeners.

IT WAS A FINE
PARADE SAY ALL

Many favorable comments are
heard regarding the fine Labor Day
parade. One man remarked: I've
liver here "a years and this is the
best parade we've ever had"
Everybody agreed that the Court
House float deserved its First. It
was one of many attractive floats,
all we'll planned and attractively
gotten up. Space will not permit
a discussion of them all
Veterans added a touch of mill
tary color to the parade but it was
noticeable that few of the Boys of
II and 10 were in line.
The Libby School Band was both
seen and heard doing its bit to make
the big spectacle a success. Equip
ment from the ]. Neils Lbr. Co,
added a touch of interest, as did the
Forest Services Remount String
of pack mules equipped with pan
niers for the trail.
Horseman and ''cowgirls," Fire
and school buses all con-
tributed to the interest of the par
ade Last but not least were the
kids with their pets. While there
was only one Paul BunyOn and his
Blue Ok in the parade, there were
plenty of youngsters with dogs,
cats, ducks, etc, and all were ad-
ded attractions.
Next Year" say committee MEM
bers, 1T will be even bigger and
better-and there will be more kids
marching with their pets. -"

Victory Crusade"
Draws Good Crowd

Near-capacity crowds of people
who evidently appreciate h e
things that really count" in life,
have gathered together every night
to fill the Log Church, now spon-
soring a great VICTORY CRU
SADIE, with the PAUL HID
/ MUSICAL CRUSADERS, to which
can truiy be applied the descriptive
word-unique!
AS one climbs the steps and pro-
ceeds to the doors of the church,
one is impressed with the friendly
atmosphere and the impartial well
come extended to each visitor and
member by the young lady hostess
SEES stationed there. The further
courtesies shown by the young men
acting as ushers, the sacred concert
which is presented over the pubic
address system each evening at 7:30,
all 60 together toward making each
person feel that surely there is
"a christian welcome here"
Worthy mention should be made
of every service: The we'll planned
programs including vocal solos, !
duets and quartets, the instrument /
tai numbers on twin saxophones +
and accordion, the inspiring song
services, together with the origi- I
nal theme presented each evening. I
However, the climax of every SER
vice, thus far, has come when
Evangelist Paul Hid in his own
dynamic, yet, noticeably sincere and
way, has laid bare and
made plain the old-fashioned gospel
truths based entirely upon Gods
Holy Word, the Bible.
Before drawing this "eye-Witness"
to a close, special mention
should be made of last Sunday
nights inspiring w for VICTORY" +
scene and program, witnessed by a
capacity crowd-every seat being
taken. The appropriate theme Of ]
the entire service was Victory"
,Doubly so, as just one year ago, {

Iruman). Victory songs were play
ed by the orchestra, sung by the T
rendered in the spec r
al numbers; seven distinct verses s
n the Bible containing Victory =
we're read by seven young people;
even words were cited by Rev
Hid, all as having the letter W
