Assembling more than 200 guests for the evening the event was held in the Scottish Rite Temple where close to 50 boys and 40 girls attain- ing majority this year were present. First event of this type to be held in Juneau, the affair stressed the importance of pl:lcin;z emphasis up- on attainment of citizenship by native born Americans, instead of attaching greatest significance to the minority group who become cit- izens by naturalization. Charles Jenne, Master Councilor of the DeMolay chapter, presided during the program and spoke brief- ly on citizenship. H. L. Faulkner was the main speaker of the evening. Important Duties ‘Certain solemn and important duties accompany the rights and privileges of citizenship,” Mr. Faulk- ner pointed out. “Millions of citizens in the United States place empha- is upon these rights and privileges, however, with little rezard to the duties of citizenship. We say we have the right to vote, the right to own and manage property, the right to hold public office, the right to the protection of law. We too often forget that each of the rights in- volves a corresponding duty.” Speaking directly to the group of young men and women before him he stated: “Your real problem is not escape from the tyranny of the past, but escape from the ty- ranny of the present. Many of you are being badly pushed about, not by ancient, but by contemporary ideas. You are swamped in the confusion of competing standards, beckoned here, urged there, allured yonder, not by the dead hand of old tradition, but by the thousand and one pressyres and urgencies of this |chaotic time.

FIGURES SHOW INCREASE IN OIL RESERVE NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The Arier- jcan Petroleum Institute made rub- lic recently a report showing a new high total of proven petroleum re- serves in the United States on Janu- ary 1, 1938—15,507,268,000 barrels. This is 2,443,868,000 barrels more than the estimate of January 1, 1937 This estimate was contained in a report filed with the institute by its committee on petroleum re- serves. The estimate makes no allow- ance for possible reserves in un- tested areas, the report said, rep- resenting only the amount of crude oil which may be extracted by present known methods from fields now completely developed or drilled. or sufficiently drilled and explored to permit reasonably accurate calcu- lation. New reserves discovered in 19, were -estimated at 928,742,000 bar- rels, making the total 16.784.932,000 barrels. From this the committee deducted 1.277,664,000 barrels as an estimate of oil produced in the United States in 1937. - ——— ROBERTA DOOLEY SAILING SOUTH Roberta Dooley, employed in the States Account Office here, will go south tomorrow for a month's trip.

DEATH PENALTY FOR CRIMINALS IS ADVOCATED FOLSOM PRISON, Cal., Feb. 28. —Warden Clyde I. Plummer, whose innovations have drawn attention from all parts of the nation, advo- tes extermination of habitual criminals. His opinions, which were express- ed before the Masonic Club in Sac- ramento, also concluded that the present penal system of the United States is getting society nowhere. Plummer said “It is not helping society, because the cutflow just about equals tie inflow; it is nothelping the convicts for the reason that practically ev- ery man who enters prison is no better an individual when he comes out. “I can see the State to no good reason for continue to support the confirmed criminal, who has proved by his own conduct, that he will be law-breaker and po- tential killer as long as he lives. “It is my opinion that all such persons should be exterminated for their own good and for the good of the State.” on Nelson’s tobo.gan light, but besides his srow- there were four wolf pelts, three coyotes, twelve mink, seven fox, and a wolverine.

MILLIONS OF U.S. WOMEN are faced almost daily with this alterna- tive—to buy Canned Salmon or some cheaper, competing fish food. Through the greatest advertising campaign in its history, the Salmon Industry is building preference for Canned Salmon among U.S. house- wives. Why is this important? Because as the Canned Salmon Industry obtains fair prices in the U.S., it will mean greater prosperity for the Territory.
