B. Phillips, Superin- tendent of Juneau Schools, deliver- ing the Memorial Day address at the American Legion services in the Elks Hall this morning, warned against “hyphenated Americans.” “We have within our borders those who would destroy what we have to gain and these we do not want,” he declared. “Here we enjoy freedom of speech and press and liberty. Hgre we may rear our families, ed- ucate them in decent surroundings, send them to church and Sunday Schools of their own choice to wor- ship God in the way they choose ‘We are not destroying churches, ban~ ning books and suppressing news- papers.

The apple pie is deep and con- sistently good. The soup has its off days. But the odds are that on any given day the soup will be good.!
