time for themselves during the third

Murphy says it is the first place he
has ever been where you had to line
up to attend church. At the Metho-
dist church, there were 2800 in the
main auditorium and 300 in the
basement. The line formed early and
stretched over several blocks. This
was also true at the Presbyterian
church, as we'll as the Baptist. He
visited Mrs. f. A. Dye, formerly of
Belle Valley, but who makes her
permanent home now in Florida.

SO THEY TELL ME

We are indebted to w. 0. kappel
of Coal Run route one, for the song
fest suggestions as any motorist
drives along the highways. At As
miles per hour, he says for you to
sing: Highways are Happy Ways;
at SIS miles the tune changes to: I'm
but Stranger Here. Heaven is My
Home; at IS, the driver huns:
Nearer My God to Thee: at IS, he
changes over to when the Roll is
Called up Yonder, I'll be There,
and at IS miles per hour, the grand
finale is: Lord, I'm Coming Home y
There is heaps of good advice in
these suggestions and all a part of
the current safety campaign now be-
ing waged by the state.

we participate in the rebuilding
OF our homeland do we become a
part of the new state of Israel.
FIRST, of course are our brethren
OF the yishuv who are an integral
part OF the land. Those of us in
the diaspora may participate in
proportion to our active interest.
Those with negative attitude or
thoSe who spend their time in
slumber during great moments of
history are guilty of a sin of O.
mission, which will cut them off
from Israel, and from an immeas-
urable spiritual experience un-
equaled in the universe of God.
Finally, we must be awakened
from our slumber, in reference to
the greatest repository of our an
clent treasures, the Synagogue.
Through it great figures of world
history have passed, tender fig
ures, giants of the spirit, HiIlel,
JOchanan ben Zakkai, Ariba, and
myriads of others. Their spirit is
ever present i'm our sanctuaries,
and they are only present as we
come to meet them, and as we
participate in keeping alive the
true function of the Synagogue
as the place of Torah and Avodah,
study and service.
500 bids us then, awake, We
sleepers from your slumber, and
rouse from your lethargy. Scrut-
inize your deeds and return in
repentance" Awake to the high
levels of life where the spirit
reigns supreme. Awake to par
Ilclpate IN the rebuilding OF PaleS-
tine. Awake to the enrichment
and growth of the spirit of Israel
which shall never die. For those
who will become aware of the
call of the Shofar on Rosh
Hashonah, God will answer with a
year of happiness and joy, where
all the bitterness of life will be
dissipated and in it's place will
come peace of mind, mental and
spiritual health.

Drive March 10

A. c. Austin was named Wednes-
day as the general chairman of the
Boy Scout finance campaign tc
raise Libby's share of the operating
budget of the Western Montana
Council, Boy Scouts of America
Organization details were started
this week to contact a cross-section
of the Libby population during the
24-hOur drive which will begin with
a kickoff dinner Wednesday, March
10.
I'VE have a two-fold purpose in
holding this drive" Austin ex-
planned. First of all, we want to
raise our share of our scout coun-
ciTs budget, and, secondly, we
want to have an educational drive
which will explain to the people
of Libby what scouting is and does
and how the Western Montana
Council can help us have better
scouting for more boys"
The Western Montana Council
serves the eight counties in western
Montana and employees three ex-
ecutives, Austin said. In addition
to giving professional service, the
council operates and maintains two
Seely Lake for Boy Scouts and the
Melita Island Senior Scout Base on
Flathead lake for Senior Scouts.
The council furnishes transportation
to the Seely lake camp for all Boy
Scouts. The scout council also fur
niSheS all advancement badges for
Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts with
out charge, provides opportunities
for training for all scout leaders,
and includes budget items for liter
ature, activities such as Boy Scout
camporees (and Cub Scout field
meets, surveys and organization of
new units, and a Service station"
for ordering badges, forms, and
other restricted items.
v The operating budget of the West
ern Montana Council is approx
mately $4,000 for 1948. All of the
communities in the eight counties
help to raise this budget, Austin
said, but no set quota is made for
any community. Each community
is expected to contribute to the bud
get on the basis of the worth of
scouting to the community. The
budget is set up by the volunteers
from the eight counties who make
up the council and is approved by
the council executive board.
Austin said that Libby has had
no scout drive for nearly two years
although the council continued to
serve the community.
The scouting program includes
Cub Scouting for boys 9, 10, and II
years of age; Boy Scouting for boys
IL years of age and over; and SEN
Tor Scouting for young men Is and
over.
In 1947 the Western Montana
Council had 28.2 per cent gain
in membership. Lincoln county

Of the council had a AZ per cent
gain in membership with an in
crease from five TO ten scout units.

tana and this picture was taken
while on a late spring skiing trip
high in the mountains The party
travelled up the ridge between Leigh

reached a point where they looked
far below to see Leigh Lake with
majestic snow-clad peaks towering
above it. The magazine printed the
following paragraph about the
photo "Snowshoe Peak, highest
point in the magnificent Cabinet
primitive area southwest of Libby,
rises as a challenge to Skiiers Pat
Barrett and Jack Raymond, who
pause at its foot. During this ski
trip, the party jumped a mountain

made better time than the skiiers
and soon disappeared in the crags.

enjoy late spring skiing which IS
becoming so popular A picture
