Attempts through publicity and
law enforcement are constantly be-
ing made to prevent the awful toll
Of lives taken by accidents on our
highways. And despite all those
efforts people still continue to kill
each other by the thousands in traf-
fic tragedies. Alcohol and exces-
sive speed are the two causes most
responsible for this slaughter
Information has come to me dur
ing the past week that our own
community has at least two or three
speed maniacs. They are accus-
toned, so It is said, to drive the
highways at 60 100, us miles
per hour. That is stark. staring in
sanity. It IS criminal in the ex-
IRENE l was told that one such
driver, hurtling along the highway
at such terrific speed, viii swing
over into the wrong lane while
rounding a blind curve in order to
lessen the degree of curvature and
prevent his car from rolling over.
Suppose such a fool would meet an
car around that blind
curvel One can easily imagine the
sickening carnage that would re-
suit

I once toured the slums Of New
York City. At that time and as
sat and watched the picture here
under discussion, thought how
could anything except a life OF
crime come out Of such environ
ments.

The Cocoanut Grove fire in Bos-
ton killed 492 persons. This loss Of
life was greater than that suffered
in the San Francisco earthquake and
fire in 1906.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1949-09-29

It wouldn't make so much diff
ference if such maniacs would kill
only themselves. It might be good
radiance. They would at least have
it coming But too often they take
two or three innocent victims with
them into a bloody and horrible
death.
Any man convicted of such Grim
NAL carelessness should be deprived
Of his drivers license and kept off
the highways for life

Not long ago Spokane news
paper had an editorial lauding the
beauty Of its young girls This was
a kindly thing to do and we would
not question the claim that Spo-
kane's young ladies are lovely But
we are willing to enter our own
young girls in any contest of beauty.
They are in a class by themselves.
Have you noticed how many Of
them bear the marks Of real lowell
ness and are Astounding in health?
All that is needed to prove that
this is not idle flattery is for one
TO take note and pass ones own
judgment on this pleasing conten-
ton.

Air Force Says
 'No Flying Saucers'

WASHINGTON, (P) - Aft e r checking up on 375 rumors of weird and wondrous sights in the sky, the air force has concluded that there aren't any flying saul cers."
 It took two years, special team from the USAF's science staff, and help from university consulcants to track down the rumors of strange discs Whizzing through the air.
 Last night the air fierce. said project flying saucer" the in vestigation started by the air ma :eriel command at Wight Base. Dayton, Ohio, on January P, 1948 has been ordered ended because there IS nothing to show that the repoi Is were mot the results of natural phenomena"
 All eVluence, IL auueI. pOlnIS To three factors -"mininterpretation of various conventional objects; a mild form of mass hysteria; or hoaxes" the origin of the fly ing saucer reports.
 The effect of last nights air forces announcement was to deny story appearing in the current edition of the magazine "True." The magazine said it had learned that "a rocket authority stationed at Wright Field has told project saucer personnel flatly that the saucers are interplanetary and that no other conclusion is possi- ble."

POSTPONE BUILDING OF SKATING RINK

The Arctic Club has announced the postponement of the installa- ton of the skating rink which they have been planning for sev- eral months. The main reason the project has been delayed, it is re- ported, is the lack of a suitable site, near enough to town to be convenient to the young skaters. Several lots have been offered, but only on temporary plan and the club desires to invest in some thing of permanent nature and big enough so that tennis courts etc. can be erected in the future. The money already raised will be kept on deposit in the bank until actual construction of this recrea- tional center can get under way.
 The board of directors of the Arctice Club are open to sugges- ton and invite anyone to write them, Box 399, with ideas on the subject.
 The C.A.A. however have com pleted a skating rink which they have made available to the young people of Nome school at specified hours.

Dewey To Retire
 From Politics

NEW YORK, (P) - The New York Times today said it is likely that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey will retire temporarily from public life at the end of his present term as Governor of New York.
 Warren Moscow, political writer for the Times, said there are indi- cations that Dewey will not be a candidate for Governor in 1850 or for President in 1852, but may come back into the Presidential race in 1856 or 1860.
 Dewey would be only 54 years old in 1856.
 Moscow said there were "tangi- ble developments" tending to con- firm the prediction.
 One was an announcement from Priceton University that Dewey will deliver four lectures on the American Political System" there in February and April

Pension Bill And Insurance Bill
 Loom Imminent

WASHINGTON, (P)-A pension bill in the Senate and an insur- ance bill in the House are the top priority items for veterans in the Congressional session starting week from yesterday.
 A bonus bill for World War II veterans is in the background Even its strongest supporters among veterans organizati n S don't expect this multisbillion dol lar measure to get anywhere in the next session. @Ei:.-t ....E
 The House already has passed a liberalized pension bill for veter- ans of both world wars. Now it's up to the Senate to act.
 There have been estimates that over the next half century the bill would set the taxpayers back around $8,5O0,OOO,OOO.
 One of its major features pro- VldeS that any veteran would be considered permanently and total ly disabled upon reaching the age of 65. He could get $72-a-month pension if he had no dependents and an income below S1,200 a year, or if he had dependents and an income belOW So 500
 Chairman Rankin D.-MiSs.) told a reporter the first bill the House veterans committee will consider probably will be an insurance measure supported by the Ameri- can Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, disabled American Veterans and AmVets.

Catholic Information There's something wrong with the Catholics!

Catholics-woefully wrong.
 To enable minded people of other creeds to know Catholic facts from Catholic sources, this society from now on will publish weekly in this paper little informative stories of the things which Catholics be- lieve, do, and live, day after day, believing that our messages will receive courteous attention and credence because we have no re- ligion to attack, no axe to grind, no purpose in mind other than to engender understanding and good will which are so necessary if America is to stand united against the evils that surround us.
 We hope you will feel free to write us your opinion of our labor of love and to ask frank questions about anything Catholic which you may have in mind
 If it's onYthing Catholic. ask a Cdtholic!
Seward seaport record., 1949-03-04

If the Catholics worship pictures, statues, and saints-if they think medals, holy water, and the like, will in themselves prevent acci- dents, disease, lightning, and drowning if Catholics have no minds of their own and must vote and fight and act just as their priests order-then surely there is something wrong with the Catho- lies. Yes, something so wrong that they should never be permitted to have a hand in the running of this great country of ours.
 If on the other hand, there is no idolatry or superstition about any thing Catholic - if all Catholics have 100 per cent free will - if their patriotism is proved fact if, in short, Catholics believe that their Faith has in it and behind it reason, common sense, God-given authority, and philosophy which if generally adopted, would solve all present day problems-if Cath olics have such story to tell to their non-Catholic neighbors and fail to tell it-then again we say there is something wrong with the

Church Important Habit for Children

cerned. We all need the uplift Of a
religious emotion; we need its
poetry, it's music, its spiritual
strengthening power, in order to
live worthily throughout our day.
Especially is this true of chill
dren today. Many of them are
breaking away from the traditions
of their fathers and find no salts
factory substitute to put into their
lives. The churches must make q
special effort to reach such chill
dren and the best way I have seer
is providing a children's service In
the church, a place set apart fol
the little ones. with trained teach
ers and clergy to lead them. Re.
ligion must be taught, practiced
and established early In children's
daily lives if it is to function.

quiet. They begin to squirm and
somebody gives a cautious poke.
They squirm again, wiggle, drop a
prayerbook, cough, and somebody,
greatly distressed by this un-
seemly behavior, gives a sharp
pinch or mutters a threat Of pun
ishment to come. In that way. a
habit of dislike for church and
what it stands for is set in the
child's thinking. which means
later an adult who forgets about
church service as often as possible.
There has come to me little
booklet of prayers for children's
use in a church service that is
attractively childlike in its SIM
plicity and reverent in its teach
ing, indicating that churches and
churchmen are taking thought for
the children.

One church has a little chapel
where the children go to worship
under the care of their teachers.
First they have Is minutes in the
big church. where the pastor tells
them a story and they sing a
hymn. Then off to their own
chapel, where they have period
of relaxation, then their own serv-
ice. Surely that is a way to train
children to accept church service
and religious observance as a
pleasant, helpful force in their
lives.
Some churches have a kinder
garten room where a trained
teacher takes charge Of the little
ones. while their parents attend
service. Some churches have nurs-
cries. These are all to the good OF
the children and the families con-

When we want to set a good
habit in children, we begin early.
What a child learns when he is
young stays with him when he is
old. 1t is the early memories. the
first habits. that go down to old
age. That is why it is so important
that little children be taught re-
ligion, so that they may be helped
to form habits of religious thought
and right action as early in their
lives as possible. They should
attend Sunday School and Church.
Church service is for adults. The
service is long. for children; and
the thought far beyond their un-
derstanding, so that they find 1t
difficult to sit through the hour in

Tonrnedos of Beef

Straight from the hand of the
master comes this suggestion for
tournedos-delicious and most un-
usual. Escoff1er is its originator,
and it does him perpetual credit!
Tournedos of beef are cut from
the narrower part of the tender
loin, and should be about 11a
inches thick, and trimmed round
and small.
Season them with salt and pep
per, and fry them in butter until
we'll Drowned on the outside, but
pink and juicy within. Arrange
each one on a slice of bread cut
round to fit, and fried in butter.
On top of each tournedos place
a slice of foie gras. cut just a bit
smaller than the meat. (The slice
of foie gras should have been
dredged lightly with seasoned
flour, and tossed in hot butter.)
On top of the foie gras, put a slice
of truff1e. Drench all with juices
of the pan in which the tourne-
dos were cooked, garnish with
WatercreSs, and serve.

The question of whether or not
to wear a girdle is an individual
one, to a great extent. This Is
especially true of the pregnant
woman. Her personal choice and
the advice of her doctor must
decide this question.
Many doctors suggest the use
of a maternity support from about
the fourth month on. Maternity
sirdles are as advanced as bras
when compared to the old styles.
Today they are designed carefully
to give support without too much
restriction.
Pregnant women have tend
ency to lean backward in order
to compensate for the extra
weight in front and as the baby
grows the abdominal muscles
stretch. Sometimes the pull OF
the abdominal weight against the
spine causes backache. In such
instances your doctor may feel
that a well selected and fitted
maternity support will be helpful.
Designers of the foundation
garment industry have created a
great variety of these garments
after consultation with physicians.
The scientifically designed ma
ternity garment provides support
around the pelvis and abdomen
without unwanted pressure. This
relieves strain.
Maternity garments come in
many styles. There is the all-in-
one as we'll as girdles and bras
sieres especially planned for the
expectant mother. Some of these
girdles look very much like the
usual type while others have lac
ings at the back or sides or both
These can be adjusted as the
