terminedly. Josef looked at
his friend and smiled. There
was a deep understanding
between them, the priest
realized. They both had so
much in common. Franz
was the son of a poor linen
weaver. AS a boy. he had
practiced music on a make
believe keyboard made of
twigS. And Josef, son of a
muSketeer in the archbiSh-
ops militia; was a destitute
child. There a kindly priest
befriended him, sent him to
school and instructed him in
violin and organ.
Franz sat down at his
Spinet. The room was silent.
His wife and their IL chill
dren were visiting neighborS.
Destiny, 1t seemed, was
calmly putting things in
order for the music master
to write his greatest COM
position. Lightly, ever so
lightly, he began to finger
the keyboard. Almost with
out change, words and notes
blended as Sweetly as an
angel chorus. Franz wrote
the score in 4 hours.
Later, the priest didn't re-
strain his delight as he read
the organiSt's music. Over
and over they sang the SIM
pie hymn. BY telling the
musical story of the birth Of
the Prince of Peace, these
two humble men had ex-
pressed what men of good
will throughout the world
had felt and wished to
express.
That night, as bells her
aided the approach of mid
night mass, a procession of
villagers, each carrying a
lighted candle, quickly filled
the church. A hush fell over
the congregation as the
priest and the organist made
their way to the front. They
turned and faced them.
God is very close to me
tonight" Josef said under
his breath. Then, softly,
Franz began to Strum his
guitar. Bass and tenor
united perfectly in an an
them that was to become as
deathless as the Babe they
adored. The strains of Sttlle
Nacht echoed through the
building. Awe-struck, the
congregation reacted much
like the aStounded shepherds
did when they heard the
heavenly choir over the
lonely fields of Bethlehem.

cautioned that it is not the inten-
ton of the directors to sell the in
creased shares Immediately, but to
have the stock available for use in
expanding the company as the need
and opportunity arise.
Bridges noted that the growth of
the food processing industry, and
of Libby in particular, has contin-
ued at a remarkable pace in the
last two years.
'In the last two years we have
acquired plants at Wallaceburg,
Ontario, and Rockfield and Jackson,
Wisconsin; greatly increased our
facilities at Ocala, Fla, and Hous-
ton, Del; leased and equipped a
frozen food plant at Lafayette, Ind;
leased citrus groves in Florida, and
built a new administration build
ing and warehouse at Chatham, On
tario," he said.
Bridges said that the company's
presently contemplated expansion
program can best be served by the
authorization to increase the shares
of common stock so that there will
be stock available to be sold or for
acquisition of facilities when the
needs of the company require.
The proxy statement, which will
be mailed to stockholders July 13,
also seeks approval of a stock OPP
ton plan for its officers and key
employees.
Bridges said that Libby basically
is in competition with other leading
corporations for top grade man.

have a stock option plan in order
to meet competition from other
companies for able and productive
leadership.
The Houston, DEL, plant, when
the expansion program is COM
pleted, will employ several hun
