RE and Peterson.
Against Plains the Libby Ter
riers showed to good advantage for
the first half holding the strong
Plains aggregation to IA points
while scoring IS. The two fast
Plains forwards Graham and Pal
mer were held to 4 field goals be-
tween them and it looked as though
the Libby team was going to give
the Plains boys their first defeat.
The first half was all Libby al
though the Terriers were off on their
shooting. In the second half the
tide turned and the Terriers made
many mistakes on which the Plains
men capitalized. Careless passing
and lax defensive play helped the
Plains boys to roll up the score in
the last quarter after Iabby had
led all the way. Palmer and Ora
ham broke loose on intercepted pas
ses and scored on close in shots,
Graham hitting for IA points in
the second half, Palmer making 8.
The Terriers tried hard to win the
game but too many errors cost the
game.

This weekend the Terriers play
two home games, meeting the White

and the Creston Canadians on Sat

dogs have a new team this year
with only Hinderman and Unger
left from last years strong team.
However the Bulldogs will be out
for revenge for the loss in football
and the fans can be assured of the
usual hard battle when the Ter
riers and Bulldogs meet. The Cres-

for the loss the Terriers handed
to them two weeks ago. The Ter
riers caught the Creston team on
an off night and were able to give
the Canadians a sound trouncing

boys promised to give Libby a sur

Both games should be we'll worth

NEW LICENSES DID NOT

The new l947 automobile license
stickers had not arrived before jan

mail. There will be no new license
plates this year for Montana cars.
The old plates viii be retained and
carried on the car, together with a
windshield sticker printed for 1947.
The reason for paper licenses"
of course, is the shortage of steel.
Doubtless Montana cars will re-
ceive new plates in 1913.

Cold Wave ICONS Down
Out of Canada Carrying
Sub-ZerO Weather to Gulf
SUNDAY NIGHT LOW
READING FOR 1916

The cold wave which hustled
down out of Canada last week car
rying sub-zero temperatures as far
south as Denver and other points
in Colorado and nearby states,
brought some snappy weather to
Lincoln County. g"
Following the cold snap of sew
eral weeks ago when the mercury
! dropped to IL below Zero, the wea-
Their had warmed up and was giving
"a Libbyites and the county moderate
lows of from II to Is above. The
cold wave began moving in on Lib
by last Friday evening. Radio re-
ports that night gave sub-Zero
reading at Butte and other Mon
tana points, but the thermometer
kept well above the Zero mark
in Libby.
Saturday continued growing col
der and before Sunday morning had
sent the mercury down to 8 Below.
Sunday remained cold all day, IL
Above being the extreme high" for
the day. That night Old Jack Frost
got in his work without much Cp-
position and the "loW" was a very
cool minus-19l The weather began
moderating Monday and that night
proved to be Is degrees warmer
than Sunday night, the mercury
stopping at Below. The tempera- (
lures have continued to moderate /
since then.
The average low for the seven /
nights from December Is to 81, in
elusive was a trifle above III
degrees above Zero. The average
low for the first four nights was
20.75 Above; and for the last three
nights, was 10 Below. During the
same period, the average "high"
during the day for the first four
days was 26.5 Above; and for the
last three days, 1928 Above. The
high" for the seven days
was POST Above.
The cold weather resulted in much
trouble for car owners to start taeIr
cars. Plumbers also report many
waterpipes freezing up. In passing
it is noticeable that in spite of the
fact that sub-Zero weather is not

Gradual Progress Is Urged
In Ending Race Distinctions

Gradual progress toward the goal
OF elimination Of racial distinctions
in this country. instead Of radical
change by violent methods, was
urged by the Rev. Ignatius Smith,
o. p, dean of the philosophy school
at Catholic University, at meeting
yesterday in Mcmahon Hall on the
campus.
DR.. Smith spoke before the Inter-
racial Council of Catholic University.
It was the second in a series Of talks
sponsored by the group.
DR.. Smith said it was obvious that
inequalities existed among people
because OF physical differences,
mental differences, family back
ground and many other reasons.
But, to say these differences are
based on racial differences, the color
of the skin, is false, he declared.
Bill Eiland, a law student at the
university, presided at the meeting.

few important changes are ex-
pected on the executive board
except to streamline it and make
it smaller.
The executive board is fairly
representative body now and it
is anticipated that it will re-
main so.
HOWEVER. there is strong en-
phasis being put on continuing
here a trend in CLIO circles 10
integrate more of the many ca
pable Negro leaders in the top
leadership.
Perhaps the key issues that have
been the concern of all groups ON
the eve of the parley are the COM
pletion of what promises to be
a successful "$1 for PAC" drive,
a program to defeat congressman
who voted for the Taft-Hartley
Bill both in Chicago and down
state.
While there are naturally many
controversial issues facing the
convention, many leaders express
the hope that the three days will
be devoted to pactical action to-
ward turning the state CIO into
disappearing organization to
execute national CLIO policies al
ready established.
If this takes place, there is little
doubt that the CLIO in Chicago
will become reunited and a potent
force in the life of the city.

effect-the morning OF Angus
The convention will have the
focus of national attention for this
reason-and also for the effect of
this gathering on the Chicago CIO,
which has been weakened by dl-
vision in recent years.
Nearly two years ago, the Chi
cago council split wide open, with
so-called left, center and right
unions choosing up sides, and
with many important information
al unions-more than half-out
of the city central body.
PROSPECTS for renewed har-
mony altered almost from month
to month, just as the national po-
litical scene shifted.
Unity reached a high point dur
ing the crucial November 1916
congressional elections. 1t dropped
to low point during the city
elections of last spring.
And it rOcketed to a peak again
in the bitter fight to halt the Taft
Hartley Bill. Although the con-
vention of the state CIO was post
poned several times, the conven-
ton call became definite during
the period of the Taft-Hartley
onslaught.
FOR a time, all observers agreed
that representatives of the left"
and right" unions might not be
able to avoid knock-down, drag
out battle over political differ
ences, internal democracy, certain
personal antagonists, as well as
other minor matters.
Today the situation has changed.
Wall Street, operating through its
able agent, Sen. Robert A. Taft,
helped bring about the change.
Immediately after passage of
the Slave Bill, for instance, CLIO
President Philip Murray called
special meeting of the CLIO execu-
tive board-a small national con-
vention in itself-and made some
strong remarks.
