PAVE TH HIGHWAY One of the Alaska road developments which should come to pass as part of the present North- land boom is paving of the Glacier Highway out of Juneau. Beyond a doubt this is the most heavily- traveled strip of road in the Territory of Alaska. That it should still be a gravel higifway after all these years is a sad commentary on Alaska progress Now that the weather calls us outdoors, we pay more attention to the highway than at other times of the year. But besides being a pleasure road the QGlacier Highway is a year-around work road. The phenomenal growth in the number of homes along the highway in recent years has increased greatly the pounding it takes daily from traffic. In the States such a road would have been paved years ago as a matter of course. With a half million dollar airfield improvement project in the offing, the highway is certain to be used this year more than ever. Contractors’ trucks. operating long hours at high speeds under heavy loads, will give the highway a terrific beating. Pleas- ure cars, tourist buses, delivery trucks, CCC and Forest Service equipment, cars loaded with fishermen and vehicles enroute to and from the airfield with Seattle and Fairbanks passengers will increase the traffic. Clearly, use of the Glacier Highway has passed the point to which a gravel road should be tolerated Juneau should set up a clamor for paving of this road that will not be silenced until the job is done. THE LIGHTS STILL BURN ‘We have not been hearing very much from the nations under the Nazi heel, but almost without ex- ception the things we do hear are encouraging. To the desk of The Empire editor has come a pastoral letter to the people of Belgium from the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines and the Bishops of Belgium. In part, it says: “We are living in abnormal and unusual cir- cumstances; let us not be misled by them. Rather, let us preserve imperturbably the mastery of our intelligence and of our hearts, and let us not lose sight of the principles of honor and loyalty which must at all times inspire our conduct and guide our behavior. “No one can prevent you, dear Brethren, from keeping alive in your souls the love of your coun- | Sehavior may not hurt or be interpreted as contrary THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY MAY 10, 1941. try, and we believe that no one intends to do so. Certainly it is not those who vow so ardent a de- votion to their own country who would be justified in forbidding your loyal love for yours. Love for one's country is indeed a sacred duty; and it is not because it is momentarily in distress that this duty is less imperative. On the contrary, this is the occasion to say with the illustrious Roman citizen Cicero, ‘At this moment indeed no place ought to be sweeter to you than your country; and you should not love her the less because she has been disfigured; but, on the contrary, you should pity her the more. “A citizen worthy of that name, identifies his interests and his own fate with the interests and fate of his fatherland. He shares its trials, he mourns its losses and its misfortunes, he wishes for ts prosperity, and he endeavors to collaborate in the preservation and enrichment of its patrimony of faith, virtue, and beauty. He conscientiously avoids all that which might injure his country and he takes sreat care that his words, writings, acts, and general to the higher interests of the national collectivity. “Under the present circumstances, these rules of behavior remain in force. It is of course necessary to recognize the occupying power as a de facto power and also to obey it within the limits of international conventions; but the Belgian fatherland continues to exist and all its children owe it fidelity and assis- tance. Conduct yourselves therefore, under all cir- cumstances, in a correct and dignified manner, which may never give your conscience cause for remorse or reason for shame.” It is evident that the spirit expressed here hard- ly fits into Hitler's “new order” and that the Belgian people, at least, are not part of what Hitler speaks of as “Europe against England.” Stepchild of the Northland on Threshold Of Prosperity (Seattle Times) Comprehensive plans for the development of Al- 'ska have been prepared by the Pacific Northwest slanning commission. Among its proposals is one ‘or the preparation of settlement opportunities in- volving 25,000 families through reclamation of | 1,000,000 acres of fertile crop lands. As a matter of cold, hard fact, why should there not be developed in the Northland a population com- barable, in many ways, with that which has made Norway and Sweden garden spots of Northern Eu- pe? Weather conditions are much the same in the vo areas. Deep streams in the Atlantic and the ’acific furnish warmth to much of the involved erritory. Inland, of course, it is very cold in both istricts, but the summers are warm, the vegetation | heavy and the crop yields have proved bounteous. ! Alaska has been a stepchild of the United States. tought for a song from Russia, it has paid back the nvestment many times over in any one of a number f products. It is continuing to pay back. Its re- ources have not yet even been well scratched and his holds as true of gold as it does of fish or furs. After this war, Alaska will not be the old, famil- | ar territory.

The ruling was that the largest vessel that coyld be kept in a student’s room was a two-gallon demijohn.
