School, is now general manager of| the Vultee Aircraft’s field division. He is Charles W. Perelle. A Port-| land, Oregon, newspaper of recent date, contains the following article about Perelle: Charles W. Perelle, general man- ager of the Vultee Aircraft field; division, paid a flying visit to Co- lumbia Aircraft Industries, Inc, here today to inspect plant facili- ties of the Portland firm and its progress on the Vultee sub-contract it holds. Returning to California follow- ing a 9,000-mile two-week tour by air, Perelle indicated that silence on the part of aircraft manufac- turers will be the order from here on. No figures on production, de- sign changes or other technical data will be available, due to Army insistence on secrecy, which be- comes stricter day by day. “Portland,” he observed, “is for-| tunate in having 1 organization like Columbia Aircraft Industries located here. A rific responsibil- ity has been placed on the aircraft industries and all sections of the country will ke called on to lend all their facilities and services to the advancement of aircraft pro- duction.” The local plant, he was informed, is now employing 125 workers and will be employing 600 to 700 within three months. Donald Johnson, sccretary-treasurer of tae organi ion, said that all new em- ployees will be hired through the state employment service and tech- nical schoois.

Clear or partly cloudy skies pre- vailed .generally elsewhere over Alaska. The greatest amount of pre- cipitation was 154 inches which was reported at Cordova. Overcast skies with low to moderately low ceilings, and fair to good vistbilities, and - with - occasional rain over th: south portion, prevailed over the Juneau-Kethikan airway this morning.

The frontal trough extend:d eastward to 55 degrees north and 144 degrees west, and thenc: southward and southwestward into a new low center developing at 39 degrees north and 170 de- grees west. The frontal trough was expected to move slowly north- ward and northeastward “during the next 24 hours, and the new low center will deepen and move rapidly northeastward. A high press area of 30.24 inches was located a 30 degrees north and 148 degr west, and a high crest extended northeastward toward Vancouver Is- low center land. Juneau, May 1—Sunrise 5: 05 a.m., sunset 8:46 p.m. 'DEFENSE BONDS 10 GO ON SALE HERE TOMORROW | Savings Program fo Be In- augurated in All Paris of Nation on May 1 The United States Defense Sav- ings Bonds and Stamps will be placed on sale in the Juneau Post Office at the open-| ing of business tomorrow, May 1,i as part of the national effort to make America impregnable, Postmaster ~Albert Wile an- nounced today that plans are near- ly completed for .this community,| along with thousands of others from coast to. coast, to do its full part at the opening of the savings program. Tt is expected that the Mayor and other civic leaders will be among the first purchasers of savings bonds and stamps here. Postmaster General Frank C. Walker, in a letter to Postmasters! throughout the country, said that' the help of local Postmasters would be “a real service to the.country.” He transmitted the. thanks of Sec- rétary of the Treasury' Morgenthau for the help that local Postmasters had already given in -the :sale -of United States securities, -and: also Mr. Morgenthau’s rthanks in . ad- | vance “for the cooperation which' he knows you will give to this new effort.” i Sort of “Baby Bond” The new Defense Savings Bond is similar to the familiar “Baby Bond,” of which more than five billion . dollars' worth. have been bought by more than two and a half million Americans since 1935. A Defense Bond may be pur- chased May 1, or thereafter, for $18.75. In ten years, this bond will be worth $25. This 1s an increase of 33 1/3 .percent, equal .to an annual interest return of 29 per- cent, compounded semi-annuaily. | Any time after 60 days from the date of purchase, the bond may ke redeemed for cash, in accord- ance with a table of redemption values printed on the face of the bond. To spread investments widely among all the people in America, a limit of $5,000 has been set on the amount of these bonds to be bought by any one person .in one year. The bonds are in denomina- tions of $25, $50, $100, $500 and and all of which mlture in ten years, .+ Higher V.Ifuflon For larger- investors who can af- ford .to purchase up to. $50,000 worth of bonds a year, the Treas- Postal Savings; Bonds, but these will be sold only through banks and by direct mail from Washington, D. C. They arc intended for associations and cor- porations, as well as individual pur- chasers. For ' the smaller investor who wants to buy a Government Bond on an easy payment plan, the post office will have a new series of Postal Savings Stamps, at 10 ce! 25 cents, 50 cents, $1, and $5. Eacn purchaser of any Savings Stamp higher than 10 cents will be given, 1rree of charge, an attractive pockec | album in which to paste hisstamps until he has enough to buy a 825 bend or one of higher denomina- | tion. Thirty million of these albums are now being prepared. ‘The cover design of the albums {is in color, featuring a United States battleship and an eagle bearing the American flag. On the back cover is a painting of the Minute Man statute by Daniel Chester French, which symbolizes the American citizen ever alert in the defense of his country. The inscription is "America on Guard.” Secretary Morgenthau said that even a boy or girl who saved 10 cents to buy a Savings Stamp would help the country., He added that “you can safeguard your own money and your own future, while helping the national defense, by buying United States Savings Bonds | now."” Miss Sharpe Honors - Miss June Mifchell A luncheon wes given. yesterday afternoon for Miss June- Mitchell, bride-elect of Brooks Hanford.
