NT IGNATIUS pare
Suspends Paper,
Wins Tributes
The St. Ignatius POST learns
with regret that the Camas- Hot
Springs Exchange has suspended
publication. Last week's Plains
man, Don Coe, editor and publish
er, paid Edna B. Gannaway the
following tribute:
"Mrs. Edna B. Gann^way "re
ports in her paper that ‘old age
has interferred with my produc
tive ability and the time has come
for me to quit.* .
“The paper was established by
Mrs. Gannaway 32 years £go and
since that time she has been its
sole editor, Linotype operator,
printer, proofreader and book
keeper.'
“Mrs. Gannaway used her news
paper to preach the truth as she
saw it. There are quite a number
of people in Sanders county who
not. always agreed with her in
trepretations but few will say
that she hadn’t the courage of her
convictions. She announced them
in her ‘Ednatorial’ column and
'.it the chips fall where they may.
"While we didn’t always agree
with her, which is our privilege,
by the same token, we feel that
she found much with which to
disagree wih us. Which is her
privilege.
“We hate to see the paper go.
We can’t truthfully say that it’s
like losing an old friend, neither
can we say it’s like losing an
,?nemy. It's just that we feel it’s
the end to a colorful era, if we
may be so trite.”
One of the ablest pieces of
writing done by Mrs. Gannaway
was her stories on her trip abroad
a few years ago. They revealed
her as having not only a fund
of knowledge about foreign ooun
tries, but also a sympathetic
attitude toward the feelings of
people in Other lands. The POST

DOWNING WHITEFISH
(Continued from pare 1)
It was th? speed of the Mission
Bulldogs, their team work, rind
their skill from both the f.?ld and
the free throw line that whipped
the Whitefish Bulldogs. Good
coaching and good team handling
were also evident. Marlin Hersch
man led his mates #ith a total
of 25 points. Rusty McCure was
second with 16, and then followed
Ron Phillips 14, and Everett
Brown 13. gtephehk of Whitefish
constantly worried Mission and
paced all scon?rs with 33.
Other individual scores were:
(Mission) John Gobert 2, Ronnie
Matt 6. (Whitefish) Hale 4,
Cnnn 5, Harmon 6, Haynes, Pes
chel 2, Luke 11, and Strnit 4.
Mission 24 44 20 18—76
Whitefish 17 18 14 16—65
RONAN 56, MISSION 42
But the night before, the Ronan
Chiefs, in St. Ignatius, dynamited
the Bulldogs 56 to 42 in a first
conference garr.? for both teams
this season. Flashing speed right
from the start, plus shooting ac
curacy gave the Chiefs a first
quarter lead of 14 to 6.. The r.?c
ond quarter was in more nearly
equal terms. Mission almost re
covered during the third quarter
in a burst of action that kept the
crowd on their feet during most
of the period. Ronan was able to
keep its lead, ending the game
14 points ahead of th? Bulldogs.
Individual scores: (Mission 42)
McClure 5, Matt 4, Gobert 2,
Brown 4, Skeleton 2, Herschman
9. Phillips 16. (Ronan 56) Lind

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
(Continued from rage 1)
Somehow—as only children can—
they caught and they gave the
message of the Creator of the
universe coming to His little earth
to share with men the glortes of
His outer kingdom so far out
distancing moon, stars, and plan
ets yet undreamed.
One class ventured far out in
the Liturgy with a graphic and
verbal prrr.?ntation of the Seven
Great O Antiphons—inviting deep
thought and admiration. Other
classes showed the angels, shep
herds, and Magi, and suggested
all creation grouped about the
Divine King in His strange lowly
ipanger-bed between Mary and
Joesph.
The whole' program moved
smoothly, quickly effectively to
its wonted end: the fostering of
the Christmas spirit of peace and
joy in due dependence on Divine
pow.?r and goodness.

St. Ignatius, Montana
Will you put away ALL
the things of Christmas?
The tree ornaments., the candles, the wjoodeSn manger
and cardboard shepherds — all these will fit neatly into
their paper boxes and be stored way back on the closet
shelves.
But the things of Christmas that make Cristnias
meaningful — love, generosity, understanding—will you
put them away, too? After Christmas we seem to lock
them up in some strongbox within ourselves — and horde
them for 50 long weeks.
But these precious things that we tie specially to
• Christmas are for every season and they do not store well
at all. Love, generosity, understanding — all these must
. be be practiced — then they will grow stronger and
.'brighter throughout the year.
We cannot in wisdom put them away again, for it
is in just these things where lie all our hopes — for hap
• piness, for peace — and in this precarious age — even
• flor life itself.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS to all from all of the personnel of
Co-Op Supply Co. of Like Co., lie.
