Libby, Lincoln County, Montana, Thursday, September 2, 1948
VOLUME XLVIII
Number 16
Fair-Celebration Program is
Complete; Mansfield to Speak
• ■* -
Chairman Lloyd Midyett and his
committees announce that the West
ern Lincoln County Labor Day Fair
and Celebration plans have been
rounded out and but little remains
to be completed before, the big
event begins.
A page advertisement sponsored
by some fifty Libby business houses
appears in this issue inviting one
and ail to attend the annual fes
tivities. It is anticipated that larger
crowds will be in attendance than
ever before to see the most pre
tentious program in the history of
Libby celebrations and fairs.
An added attraction for Monday
evening's program, is the announce
ment received too late for publi
cation in last week's Western News,
that the Hon. Mike Mansfield will
deliver the Address of the Day.
Mansfield, this districts represen
tative in Congress is well known
and liked in Lincoln County and
always draws a good crowd.
The parade will start Monday at
1:00 sharp from the Monument in
front of the High School on Lin
coln Boulevard. Floats and other
entries will line up on Montana
Avenue between the school build
ings, and all taking part should
arrange to be in the line-up by
12:30. The line of march will be
north on Mineral Avenue to Second
Street; west On Second to California,
and thence south on California to
Sixth Street and disband. Sid Es
cott, parade chairman, in discus
sing entries for the event, stated
that everyone is urged to enter
something in the parade.
Ralph Roberts of the baseball
committee tells The Western News
to be sure to inform "its readers
that Tinker's Drive-In has promised
a free steak dinner to every player
who during the baseball tournament
hits a home run.
Don't forget the following high
lights of the two days program:—
4-H demonstration and judging con
test Saturday evening at 7:30 in the
High School Building; flower judg

Band, Bill Haney, the Magician, and
plenty of other acts preceding the

Miller Store Adds
More New Fixtures
Miller's Clothing Store is com
pleting its remodeling this week
and has acquired that attractive
"new look" so much desired.
The new fixtures were all de

by Fayette F. Oakley, architect and
interior technician of Spokane. They
were manufactured by Modern Cab
inet Works, Spokane, and Contractor
Bert Erickson has the installation
contract. The work is being done

Sixteen glass fronted shelving
sections greet the eye as one enters
the store. Farther back beginning
about the middle of the store on
the right are seven hanger ward
robes. An up-to-the-minute shoe
section, compact with concealed
stock room, and attractive display
front is located in the back of the
room. Other new and modern fix

add to the smartness and finish of
the haberdashery, which is well
lighted with fluorescent lamps from
the central ceiling.
All the fixtures are done in
bleached birch Perma Vera, which

Watch For The
Blue Bear!
//
//
During an intervew with Kate
and Dick Brinton who are complet
ing the new confectionary and games
building on Mineral Avenue just
south of the Dome Theatre, the Brin
tons made the following statements:
"You may announce that we are
opening the "Blue Bear" sometime
within the next two weeks. We
will specialize in soft ice cream and
recreation, with sidelines of confec
tionery, soft drinks, light lunches
and school supplies,
"The recreation room has facili
ties for oool. ping-pong, and small
arcade games. We wish to empha
size the fact that our place of busi
ness is not restricted to any age
group. We will encourage young
and old (also those not so old) men
and women to come to the Blue
Bear for recreation and refresh
ment.
"With the help of Floyd Morgan
and Glen Browning of the Morgan
General Contractors, and many skill
ed local tradesmen, the Blue Beatl
has become a modern building
every respect, capable of giving
public a clean comfortable atmos
phere. We hope all will inspect the
building both before and after the
opening date. We are sure the
public will be as pleased with the
proiect as we are. '
Further discussing their plans, the
Brintons added:
"As soon as the lots south of thc
building have been leveled, a "drive
In" service will be added, so when
folks are tired and feel that the
front seat is softer than our booths,
and wish their refreshments in pri
vacy, they may just "drive in."
"Many have been puzzled over
the name of our establishment, re
marking they have never seen
blue bear—and most of them have
lived in Lincoln County all their
lives! To satisfy their curiousity
six foot, three inch blue bear will
be placed on the front of the build
ing over the marquee"

Lincoln Co. Man in
State GOP Office
The Montana republican state
convention at Billings last Thurs
day re-elected George M. Gosman
of Dillon as chairman of the state
central committee. Ralph Y. Mc
Ginnis, of Missoula, was selected as
chairman for the first congressional
district. Martin T. Farris, of Troy,
was elected as vice-chairman for the
veterans and Young Republicans in
the first district.
In his keynote speech to the con
vention. Senator Zales Ecton
"During the sixteen years of New
Deal control, the party leaders
moved more and more to the idea
that the millenium for our people
could be blueprinted and having
once been blueprinted all there was
left to do to bring about the millen
ium was to pass a law.
"The effect has been to divide
rather than to unify the nation. It
suggests that individual initiative
is inherently selfish and opposed to
the public interest and that better
standards of living can be bestowed
by the government rather than by
the efforts of the people themselves
UNION DEFEATS ZONOLITE
IN LAST LEAGUE GAME
Union upset the softball dope
bucket in the last league game of
the year to defeat Zonolite 10 to 9

"knockout" of the game occurred
when catcher Walt Katarzy and
3'd baseman Bill Baeth. collided
while both were reaching for a
short pop-up.
This game does not affect top
league standings but leaves Mer
chants and Union tying each other
for third and fourth position, each
having won two and lost four
games. BPOK heads the league with
five wins and one loss, Zonolite tak
ing second with three wins and
three losses.

Highway Com.
Discusses How
Jo Raise Funds
«
''The tourist business is the sec
ond largest one in Montana, and
every' care should be taken to de
velop and encourage that business,'"
stated one of the speakers at the
highway meeting in Helena last Sat
urday. It is estimated that visiting
tourists left $100,000,000 in Montana
during the 1947 season Every in
dication is that that large sum will
be exceeded this year as present
tourist travel is very heavy.
That was only one of the many
highway problems that faced the
state-wide committee that was called
together by Governor Sam C. Ford
to study ways and means of pro
ducing more money for the build
ing and maintenance of highways n*
this state, said Charles D. Rowe
while talking over what had been
done at the meeting with a West
ern News reporter. The governor
had appointed six men from each,
of the 12 highway districts of the
state to study those problems sind,
make recommendations for neces -
sary legislation to be placed before
the next legislature. Mr. Rowe was
one of that
meeting in
group and attended the
Helena.
A Fine Attendance
Fifty-one men from all parts of
the state took time out from their
own affairs to attend the meeting,
which was considered a very good
attendance out of a possible seventy -
two Governor Ford called the
meeting to order and stated briefly
why he had named the committee
and called the men together. He
said the problem of properly fi
nancing construction and mainte
nance of Montana highways is one
of the largest and most difficult in
the state at this time. He pointed
out that more funds must be raised
if Montana is to continue to develop
and maintain a modern system of
highways, and if the state is to be
able to match federal funds that
are and will be available. The gov
ernor said the state is growing sn
population, agriculture is develop
ing, new industries are coming, re
creational facilities must be de
veloped. The highway department
needs more money to keep the high
ways in step with this over all state
wide development.
Governor Ford discussed the pres
ent financial status of the highway
department, as did also Scott Hart,
chief engineer of the highway de
partment. said Mr. Rowe. They
both pointed out that the state will
have sufficient funds to match fed
eral money that had been allocated
to the state by the 1944 federal act.
This would be for a period of two
additional years. At the end of
that time Montana funds would be
insufficient to match additional fed
eral funds that would become avail
able under a federal act of this year.
The state will need an additional
10 million dollars to match 13 mil
lion dollars of federal money. Thus,
said Hart, would provide funds for
a highway development program for
three years, or added to the funds
that are still available, for a pro
gram of five years. Legislation to
raise the states additional $10,000,
000 is what will be asked of the
next legislature, said Rowe.
