the Southern states, although the
movement began on the West
Coast.

Unions Endorse
Camp Aqua

The Montana District Council of
Lumber and Sawmill Workers I'M
ions has endorsed the Camp Aqua,
Crippled Children Hospital, which is
sponsored by the Camp Aqua Cor
poration, and which is to be built
for the benefit of crippled children
particularly for those children Grip
pied by infantile paralysis.
The Northwestern Council of
Lumber and Sawmill Workers has
offered to assist in financing the
building of such a hospital at Hot
Springs, Mont, and has suggested
that it be constructed as a memoir
lal to the late president, Franklin
Detano Roosevelt since he was al
ways a friend to institutions built
for crippled children, and was him
self victim of infantile paralysis.
The local Sawmili & Lumber
Workers Union will solicit Libby
for funds to contribute to this t
cause. Little will need be said
IN favor of the project. A hospital
such as is now established for in
fantile paralysis in Georgia would |
be of great benefit to the children
Of the Northwest were it located |
in Montana, and of special benefit
and convenience for children of our
own state
The campaign has been started in
Montana, and a fine exhibit rep
'esenting Camp Aqua was seen in
he parade at the fair last week.
The sketch on the float gave an
accurate picture of the buildings as
hey will be at Hot Springs when
he project has been completed.
The Committee in charge of soil
citations are confident of your full
upport, according to VIM. r. Baeth,
hartman of the program here, and
lie asks that you do the best you
re able when one of the members {
alls on you in the near future.

Fair Proves a
Successful and
Popular Event
Large, COlOrfuI Parade is
Opener of Interesting
Days Program
COMMITTEEMAN STATE
NEED FAIR BUILDING

A good day, a fine crowd and a
successful fair sum I'D briefly the
Western Lincoln County Fair, which
was held last Saturday in Libby.
The show, sponsored by the Libby
Chamber of Commerce and the
Kootenai Valley Grange had en-
tries from 100 individuals. Enter
talnment during the afternoon and
evening was furnished by the High
School band and the popular Kalis-
pell girl tumblers.
According to H. P. Weydemeyer.
who served as head of the Chamber
of Commerce and grange commit
tees, there will be an approximate
$3.50 left in the Fair fund for next
years show. All the bills had not
come in yesterday when the state
ment was made, but Mr. Weyde-
meyer felt safe in stating the
amount would not be far from the
foregoing sum.
Much credit is due the members
of the committee for their very
good work in planning and hand
ling the fair. Prominent members
OF the committee have suggested
that a goal for those interested in
the fair to work for, is the erection
of a building to house future fair
displays. 1t has been mentioned
that building located on the ath-
letic park, could be built with a
cement floor and made practical
for roller skating in the summer,
and ice skating during the winter,
and so constructed as to make an
ideal exhibition building for the
holding of fairs. Provision for live
stock exhibits is also badly needed.
This is especially true since the
hi clubs are now becoming active
throughout this section, and their
youthful members are greatly in
,eTested in livestock exhibits as well
IS garden and agricultural show
ngs.
