market, after yesterdays first
reaction in ten straight sessions,
and recoveries of l to 3 points
were scored for leading steeis'
textiles, motors, rubbers, rails
and special issues.
Buying again was attributed
largely to i%nflationary psychology
based on the big coal wage boost
which was expected to bring rls'
ing prices in virtually all lines.
Some early selling, however, was
attributed to the thought thai
consumer resistance to mounting
costs might hit many industries.
Accounts also were lightend on
the idea that a stable correction
of the 8-weeks' upswing had yet
to be completed. Tax relief hopes
were offset to a certain extent
by word the White House would
veto the new measure.
Mixed tendencies prevailed dur
ing the forenoon. Metals and textile
issues came to the fore after noon
on expanding volume. There were
subsequent wavering periods and
slowdowns. Trends stiffened IN

NEWS FROM PHOENIX,

Last Lords Day was a day
of many blessings for the fell
lowship here in Sunnyslope.
Our hearts were touhed as we
were reminded of the Lords
death in the partaking of the
emblems of the Lords broken
body and His shed blood. This
monthly occasion is always a
time of heart searching. At
600 pm. on the Lords Day we
gathered for a quiet fellow
ship supper. The food was ex-
cellent and in abundance. The
hot weather here has not dis
couraged many appetites. We
had a good attendance for the
evening service.
T h Thursday morning
weekly Bible School was we'll
attended. Sixty-four children
took part in a lively chorus
practice and listened to the
flannelgraph presentation of
the story of the fall of the
walls of Jericho as told by Mrs.
Floyd Morrison. Her past
teaching experience and her
consecrated life qualify her for
this splendid work. How we do
appreciate the love and faith
fulness of the workers here.
This afternoon, (Friday) at
300 p. m. the ladies group
gathered here at the chapel for
a time of devotion and a work
period. Our hearts were bless
ed as we heard the different
ones testifying as to Gods
healing power and the bless
ings received through the read
ing of the Leaves of Healing.
Mrs. Inman sang for us "Un-

was most appropriate.

of Dimes
Has Good Start

The sum of $244.77 has been col
lected in Libby on the March Of
Dimes Drive as of Wednesday NOR
ming, January %, according to q
statement made yesterday morning
by Smith McNeill, chairman of the
drive in Libby. The good showing
todate is largely the result of the
drive put on by the ladies of the
Senior Womans Club. who soil
cited the businessmen of the city.
Their efforts brought in a total of
S100.30. The balance of the con-
tributions came in response to the
circular campaign.
The drive is just getting well I'M
der way and every day should see
the fund growing rapidly, for all
Americans are interested in doing
their bit to suppress this dread
disease.
Facing crisis due to the devas-
tatinR epidemic of 1946, the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis has set a $24,00O,OOO goal
for the drive which will last till
January 30 If the people of the
country full realize the pressing
need 10 rebuild and restore the
Foundation funds, the goal will be
met and exceeded, stated Mr.. Nc
Neil.
Fortunately the Foundation was
prepared and equipped to handle the
$4,000 cases last year. AS result
the Gripping after effects were kept
to a new low in comparison to the
results in 1915 when many thous-
ands were permanently disabled.
1--WE should not forget" added the
Libby chairman, that one-half of
the funds raised in our county will
remain in chapter treasures. There
is still time to make your contri-
button, though the time is going
rapidly by, so don't delay too L lg
in sending in your help for this
good cause"

Warden Home
Asked

A recommendation to the State
Fish & Game Commission was
adopted Tuesday evening by the
Libby Rod & Gun Club, asking the
commission to include in next year,
budgets, funds for the construction
of a dwelling house and a garage
not to cost in excess of $4,000 on
tie State Hatchery grounds. The
club recommends that the proposed
buildings be rented at a reasonable
rate to the Lincoln County Deputy
Fish & Game Warden. II also re q.
quests that funds allocated for this
purpose be in addition to the $20,-
900 already appropriated for the
Libby Hatchery. Copies of the
recommendation are to be sent both
to Senator d. F. Fewkes and Rep.
resentative Chas D. Rowe.
In response to a request from the

Pres. Dick Powell appointed a corr
mittee consisting of Tom DeShazer.
George Rouse and Jim Enders to
report at the next regular meeting
of the club, offering recommended
tons for the l947 big game and
fishing seasons. This custom is fol
lowed throughout the state and
leaves the open seasons largely in
tire hands of the sportsmen, them
selves.
In answer to numerous requests
fer feeding deer, the matter wac
taken under consideration. The
went on record AS favoring
a oeer feeding program under the
of Deputy Warden o. ].

be fed when conditions warrant,
and leaves the time for feeding etc.
to the discretion of Mr. Nollar.
1t was also determined that the
clubs limited funds should not be
used for feeding the deer, but that
for this purpose should be
raised by popular subscription
throughout the county; and that the
members of the club will be ex-
pected to donate as individuals.

MET TUESDAY EVENING

Tuesday evening. The subject for
the session was OUR TOWN AND
OUR WORK" and A. j. Agather
was discussion leader for the even
ing.
Libby is obviously dependent eco
nomically upon the physical geo.
graphy of the vicinity. Because
of its geography the culture Of Mon
tana was originally nomadic but
with the increase of industrializa-
ton that tendency has decreased.
Also because of its location in the
nation Montana has had many
economic problems such as trans
portation and consumption of goods.
The discussion included a survey
Of the different types of works and
services in this community, the
standard of living, the types Of
work, the agricultural limitations
and possibilities, mining, and the
economic structure of our forest
products industries.
Due to LACK of time to bring in
the many points of possibility and
limitation in the economic life OF
our community it was decided to
continue and complete the discus
sion at the next weeks meeting.
At. that time the several research
reports that have been prepared TO
date will be given thereby finishing
up a section of the course proceed
ing to the Fourth Chapter the fol-
lowing week.
