that conflict is still fresh in
minds and hearts of all of us." said
Mrs. Schlumm. "The dead of the
first World War have been gone for
29 years, yet we remember their
suvice and sacrifice. The poppies
v;hich we will put on tomorrow will
show that we have not forgotten
and are grateful for their defense of
our country.
"We must not forget, either, those
who live in suffering and hardship'ecus
because of war wounds and illness,
the disabled veterans, or their chil
dren and the children of those who
have died. The contributions we
make for the poppies go for their
welfare, for help which can come
them only through this means." -
Xhe poppies to be distributed here

ans at Fort Harrison. Auxiliary
workers will all be unpaid volun-iloß

Libby visitor Tuesday.
Switzer Heads the
1947 Fair Board
Elmer Switzer, Sr., was elected
1947 chairman of the Western Lin
coin County Labor Day Fair Asso
ciation, at the meeting held last
Monday evening. Dexter Shaurette
was also chosen to serve as secre
tary-treasurer of the association.
A financial committee was set up
and solicitation committees chosen
to make the financial drive which is
to begin in about a week. The city
has been divided into three zones
for this solicitation, one section be-1
ing all south of U. S. 2; the other
two lying north of the highway, one
section east of Mineral Avenue and
the other west. Solicitation chair
men are Tom Robertson, Lloyd
Midyett and Herman Ficke.
The committee wish to call the
attention of the public to the fact
that whereas usually both the fair
board and the unions màe a sep
arate drive, the solicitation this,
year will include the raising of
funds for both occasions combined,
With this in mind, it is hoped sub
scriptions will equal the amounts
that .would be subscribed to both
events. The committee also states
that none of the proceeds from the
union dance will be put in the Fair
fund.
It was decided Monday evening,
to put on an elaborate display of
fireworks. The Fair board has been,
increased to 20 members as various
community organizations line up
with the project, which promises to
be much larger in every way than
any show of the kind ever given in
Libby.
