They| never give up the fight, They are peace-loving crea- tures but when it is necessary they can hold on until they win. That is the reason the bulldoz is a perfect mascot for the English people. Lord Halifax, the British Ambassador, told a story the other night that reveals the “Bulldog” quality in a lighter vein. He said that an old woman in the East End of London was being urged to leave her home. The district was being bombed | continually and part of the roof was gone from her house. The windows had long since been blown to bits. ’ “Listen,” said Mrs. Penny, to the authority in| charge, “The landlord couldn't get me out of my home. . . . The sheriff couldn't get me out, and I'll| be blasted if Hitler can!” Let’s give these courageous people a helping hand | in their struggle for human decency. Let’s do it by contributing to Bundles for Britain. The Rev. John L. Cauble is Treasurer for the Juneau Branch. A/ check sent to him will be forwarded without delay to ease suffering on freedom's battlefront across the sea. This is the very least we fortunate Americans can do. ultimateé aim. of fostéring®and stintilafing contmun- ity activities directed toward greater welfare of the younger generation. § Major John L. Griffith, Chairman of the Na- tional Boys' and Girls' Week Committee and well known as Commissioner of the “Big Ten” Athletics, said in a recent statement, “I have come to realize more than ever the importance of proper youth training, not only in athletics but in loyalty and good citizenship. There are groups in America en- gaged in sowing seeds of destruction—destruction of American ideals and principles, and Boys' and Girls’ Week can play a large part in overcoming this type of youth poison.” The observance of National Boys’ and Girls Week had its beginning 21 years ago when the Ro- tary Club of New York City sponsored a Boys’ Week. The idea spread so rapidly that by 1926 the ob- servance was celebrated throughout the United States and Canada. The week's program is not confined to larger cities but is actively participated in by thou- sands of smaller communities. The result has been a greatly increased community interest in fhe wel- fare of boys and girls, something which can be of immense benefit in Juneau. From Ocean Depths (Seattle Times) A silver stream of wealth is flowing into Seattle | these days from the depths of the ocean. The hali- but fishermen are returning from the deep sea banks In their tiny vessels that sturdily breast the surging waves and tides of the North Pacific, these dauntless seafarers brave perils far beyond the cape and along the rugged coasts of Alaska. Theirs is a constructive vocation. With their labor and their nets they produce new wealth. Under a wise policy of the Dominion of Canada and the | United States government, the International Fisheries Commission prescribes rules to conserve the supply of this wholesome food. Thus a rich desource be- comes inexhaustible. The halibut fishers, defiant of gales and tem- pests that sweep the northern seas, toil under the benison of heaven. Before the first hardy little fish- ing vessel of the fleet departs for the open ocean, these venturesome mariners receive the blessing of their church in a pious and picturesque ceremony. May they be permitted to pursue their peaceful and productive calling under these kindly auspices, with- out the ruthless interruption of hideous and insane wars. Uncle Sam Safeguards Greenland (Philadelphia Record) Establishment of a U. S. air base in Greenland, through negotiation with the Danish Government is a logical extension of our policy of safeguarding the Western Hemisphere. Remembering that Gauleiter Quisling of Norway claimed Greenland as “Norwegian,” U. 8. support of Danish possession should end any future argument on the one hand, and forestall any program which Hitler may have for establishing an air base there {lor future attacks on the United States. GIVE A THOUGHT TO OUR ‘ YOUNGSTERS ‘ Starting Saturday and continuing throughout the following week our community, along with hundreds of others in the United States, will be celebrating Boys' and Girls’ Week—an annual observance which aims to encourage community cooperation in all ac- tivities directed toward the welfare of our boys and girls. Many people will take a few moments from the routine of their daily affairs during the week to give a little extra thought to boys and girls and to the future of the nation whose fate will be in their| hands in just a few years. | The responsibility of citizens may well include’ making a success of this observance; likewise, from ' a purely utilitarian standpoint it deserves the serious attention and active cooperation of all who are in- terested in human progress. There is no more power- ful check on crime and other social and economic disorders now troubling the world than the develop- ment of enlightened citizens, fully equipped to make their way in the modern world. National Boys' and| Girls' Week endeavors to foster the development of | such citizens. " The week’s activities will stress such important phases of youth development as spiritual guidance, education, vocational training, hobbies, citizenship, | recreation, home life, and health and safety, The main objective is to focus public attention upon boys and girls, their problems and their needs, with the The President’s announcement of the air base agreement supplements considerable previous activity by our forces in Greenland. In May, 1940, we rushed a Consul there, to look after our interests as a result of Danish conquest by Hitler. Not long after- ward the Coast Guard fleet took over patrol of the island—and the Coast Guard cutters sent there were close cousins to light cruisers. Econcmically, Greenland is important becaust it posscsses the world’s only cryolite mine, cryolite being useful in dissolving bauxite, basic essential in production of aluminum. How much cryolite Hitler has been getting from Greenland we do not know, but it should be none at all, from now on. The new arrangements, however, are chiefly im- portant in giving the United States one more air base in the mighty chain which now extends south- ward via Newfoundland, Bermuda and Jamaica to Trinida, which is just off Venezuela. Whatever Hit- ler's plans or hopes, this is one stepping stone in our direction which will not be his for the grabbing. There should be no mystery as to why all those Italian ships in American harbors were put out of commission by their crews. It leaves Mussolini with that many fewer bottoms to fall on. It is reported that Italian warships, after being defeated by the British, began firing at each other. The Italian people will be overjoyed to know their navy had that much fight in it.

So Big Steel had to capitulate and the rest of the industry surrendered without SWOC having to fire a shot. As Murray left the Pittsburgh conference, where U. S.
