A large attendance was present W *
Monday evening at the Libby Lions | Ür ÉL - T ' % - AH
meeting. The outstanding feature I A «
"f the meeting was a discussion by | V, S$SgjBÊ& ^»Jk
Lion Gillespie, who spoke regard- i... v -\
mg the status of the proposed Lib- NIT,
by School Gymnasium-Auditorium r 5 .,ßr>
for which bonds in the amount of fÊtÊk :
SI 15,.000 were voted in 1946. At.
the time the bonde were voted it i - , WK.|f
on account of a shortage of build-! K - ; I'll»*
ng materials. Since then building «* C,'Z - '
costs have spiralled till it is now j . RtäHE JBP? »
estimated that at least $210,000 will «aBMaBaHBli . f * 'ÈtÊ
be required to build the gymnasium- *'.t
auditorium which was originally dc
signed for use as a gymnasium by i : %fÊÊ^^^ÊÊÊÊm *
the school and for a public as- \
sembly building by the community.
Since 1945 the enrollment in tlyj _ ^_
Libby schools has increased ten A R D A M A KA I KJ 1 Ä0Q- 1
percent and the present birth rate I D l\/\ ll/\«VI L 11'f 1 1'I ^ Ow/
in Libby shows that an increase in .---——---- - - —

;

«
the lower grades during the next
five years will probably amount to
at least 30% over the present time.
The present increase has caused!
a congested condition in the high!
school and a similar condition in
the grades. Gillespie stated that
an addition of four grade school
rooms should be made next year.
The cost of these additional rooms!
to the New Central Building is es
timated at $50,000. Portable class!
rooms have been suggested to fill
in the emergency period, and are
use in some Montana cities. These
however, are at best makeshifts, and
expensive ones, each room costing'
from S45UÜ to $5000. Of course, the
Superintendent added, it would be
possible to partition the auditorium
ift the Now Central, making two
class rooms. In addition to fur
nishing insufficient room to entirely
alleviate the crowded conditions.
this course will curtail our music
health, and visual education pro
grams.
Three courses are open for the
school board. One to wait out the
high price cycle—if possible; anoth
er, to build an inferior gymnasium
Auditorium. A third alternative is
te let the contract at prevailing
prices, subject to an additional bond
.levy, and then put the matter be
fore the property owners for them
to decide by ballot whether to
issue the bonds or cancel the con
tract and let the schools exist as
best they may without improve
ment. The matter of federal aid
has been mentioned. It was ex
plained by Mr. Gillespie that fed
oral aid is not available for school
buildings. It may come in the fu
ture, but is still an uncertainty. It
is legally possible to vote bonds
for both high schools and grade
schools in the amount of 3% of the
assessed valuation. This would en
able Libby High to raise $240,000,
and the grade school $187.000, which!
leaves an ample margin between
the needs of the school and the
legal bond limit.
Many of the Lions, following the
Superintendent's discussion, exprès
sed themselves in favor of addi
lional bonds for the building of the
gymnasium-auditorium and for tak
mg care of the needed room in a
proper and permanent manner, the
concensus being that if any build
mg is done now, all needed build
mg should be completed at the same
time, Fred Metzger, representing
the VFW mentioned the need in
our schools for expanding the vo
cational set-up in behalf of stu
dents who are not so academically
minded. I f this needed addition is
mnde. it will also add to building
costs. The matter was referred to
the civic committee consisting of
James Christie, Leo Kyser, Fred
LaRoque, Walter Partlow, E. J.
Driear, Harold Miller and Russell
Diest, which will check into the
subject still further, sound out pub
lie opinion and report their find
mgs at the club's next meeting,
Meanwhile, Sup't Gillespie states,
the School Board will be pleased
to present the matter to indivi
duMsorgroups.whomay b emter.
The club voted to assist in send
mg representatives to this year's
Boy's State at Dillon.
Guests present at the meeting in
eluded Don Caminzen, Spokane,
Ed Bryant. Great Falls, Messrs.
Smart and Starduck. Missoula; Tom
Jewel. Bill Dorrington, Fred Metz
g er and Robert
Lion President Brown announced
tin' next meeting for February 23.
FIRE CHIEFS NOTICE
When the fire whistle blows do
not rush to your phone and ask
Central where it is. At one of the
last fire siren signals, at least 150
people called in to find out where
the fire was before Central was
able to answer the firemen.
If your home was burning, you
would not appreciate others calling
Central out of curiosity, and fur
thcr endangering your home. When
the fire whistle blows, wait a half
hour before calling Central.
--George Wood, Fire Chief.

After two weeks of fruitless of

stated Wm. Curts and C. H. Hedges
president and secretary-treasurer, of
tb e mining corporation.
An effort was made two weeks
to get to the mine as pros
pective leasers from Malta and vVal

but since county equipment was
!1 °1 available at the time, the mm
i in ^. wove forced to leturn to
their homes. This week equipment
was brought from Troy and efficient
help was furnished whereby open
mg of the road was completed.
The interested party, consisting
of Frank Prochnow and Byron
Steven of Malta and Walter K.
Towns nd. Jimmy Lamphere, W. G.
Hamlin and Stan Brockway of Wal
lace, went up to the mine IiKsJay
: morning, accompanied *>y. William
Curts.
Flic nun are considering a lease
operations of the property.
| The Silver Butte mine has been
tunneled through the mountain
nearly half a mile with a total of
2703 feel w ith two 200 ft. raises.
j The mint- was opened in the early
80's and had a 150- ton mol which
j burned in the 1910 fire. Nothing
more was done on the property

has been undertaken each
summer with over a million dol

Goci wi]I bt . with us who
pray un der the shade of His trees;

us in cathedrals where upreaching
Gothic arches lift us to Him, and
He will come in all His beauty
to be with us in barren rooms; He
will precede us into hospitals and
factories and into radio stations.
And when the strain of prayer and
praise die away on the St. Law

Christian Queen, Salote, leads the
kneeling hosts, universal prayer will
have encircled the world,
Plan to be with us in this great
movement among God's people.
Nothing can bring you peace but
yourself; nothing can bring you
