Dunning, THE GOOD OL’ DAYS Yesterday was Labor Day and today school started and another summer vacation for the school- age youngsters of Juneau and most of the rest of Alaska was over. We can well remember Labor Days in years gone | by. They always had a wistful quality infused with the holiday spirit because on the next day we had to put on our shoes and go back to school After the parade in the morning, a picnic at the beach used to be the regular Labor Day ritual, if you lived near a beach, or you went fishing or picnicking with the family out | along a river or up in the mountains to a lake. And whether you went swimming or fished or just played around and hung by your knees from the limb of a tree, you entered into the spirit of the fun rather half-heartedly. Always a pall of gloom hung over the afternoon and that night you went to bed with a sick feeling in your stomach, in an-| ticipation of the next morning’s meeting with teachers and the enforced confinement in a class- | room, which was to be your fate in the long months to come. Sometimes you hoped the sick feeling was the first sign of typhoid fever or spotted plague or leprosy, or any serious disease which would prevent you from going to school the next day. Usually on those Labor Days of the past your fellow sufferers were -all of an accord and you could gather in little groups and gripe about the impend- ing disaster of the coming day. Sometimes a smart aleck would make an ill-advised remark about being “glad to get back to school.” The only ways to treat this sort of tyranny was either to beat him up for reminding you of the 'morrow, or just utterly ignore him, even to the extent of making him a social out- | cast among the gang. Finally the next day came. Your mother put a paper sack of lunch in your hand and shoved you out the door, with a good-bye kiss and an admoni- tion not to fool around the creek bank on the way to school and not to lose your pencils. And you did loiter a little on the way. You had a tough time sending your dog back home. After chasing through the woods with you and going with | you to play base ball and swim all summer, the old dog just didn't seem to understand that he couldn’t accompany you to “the durn ol' school.” But eventually you got there, The schoolyard was full of kids. There were kids you hadn't seen | Los Angeles, Portland, | 1011 | if you lived inland | blnoe school let out-in- the early summer and. there were some new kids you thought you could lick. | There was a bloudb girly with long curls, too. You | Hmped you ' could sit behind her and pull her hair | | when the teacher wasn't looking. | ‘Then the bell rang and you went in to see the | teacher, “Old Lady Dooley,” and the first thing | |she did was to read-you the first chapter of a book | |about a cowboy's round-up pony and promised to read a chapter first thing each morning. You de- cided that maybe “the old lady” wasn't going to be so bad this year. | Then they assigned seats and you got a place | right across the aisle from the blonde with the curls. You decided that when she wasn’t looking you | | could still yank that hair. You heaved a sigh, just| ‘u:okmu at her, and decided that after all, maybe Jsrh(m{ wasn't going to be so bad. ) how times have changed. watched those kids going to school Some of them were yours, and Boy, You morning | blonde’s. | You picnicked with them yesterday and were | |a little amused at the half-hearted way in which |they played. | They had that old pre-school gloom welghlngl upon them. Yes, and you, too, had a little lump\ {in your throat. Lord, you thought, what I wouldn't give to be going back to school tomorrow! this | the | | As Usual, He’s Wrong : AR | (The Seattle Times) | Mr. Secretary Ickes comes breezing into the state of Washington declaring himself unalterably | in favor of the bill—his own—to create a Columbia | Power Authority under one-man control—also his lown. He doesn't like Senator Homer Bone's bill| which would set up a three-man control by resi- dents of the Pacific Northwest. | “You don't need three Presidents of the United | { States,” snaps Mr. Ickes, “and the Presidents job is even bigger than running Bonneville and Grand Ceulee.” | Mr. Ickes' reasoning is faulty, which is not un- usual with him. In this case his comparison is a| flop. The President has more -help on his job than |any other man in the country; a flock of cabinet lofficers; a score of personal aides; hundreds of and expert advisers; commission after | commission, board upon board. Many thousands are helping”the President do his job. Then, again, the Tennessee Valley Authority has three directors; the Federal Power Commission con-| sists of five members; so does the Federal Trade| ’CDmmlSSlOn. The Federal Communications Com- mission has seven members; the Labor Relations Board has three. Just these few, taken at random | from the many, prove the rule in favor of multiple membership. Mr. Ickes has taken no general ex- | ception to that rule and should not seek an excep- | tion in the case of a Columbia Power Authority. | counselors Poland - Still Fights (The New York Times) The German people might find food for thought in the report of the first real airplane battle be- | \t\wen Polish and German fliers—that is, if the Ger- | man people are permitted to know what happened |in that sharp encounter over France in the dawn lof a Friday morning. Three squadrons of Polish | airplanes forming the left wing of a fighter guard of | British bombers attacked a larger force of enemy patrol planes. The score at the end of 13 minutes {of battle was 13 Messerschmitts downed to three | Polish planes lost. Of all the nations brutally and undeservedly at- tacked by Hitler’s Germany, Poland has suffered | most. Her airdromes were blasted out of existence before their fliers could assemble for defense. Un- defended cities, fugitives streaming along the dustyK roads, peasants in the fields and villages were raked | |with bombs and machine-gun bullets, while the ‘halr -mobilized Polish Army fought a losing battle | against the panzer divisions, Some of the Polish fliers escaped to England. There they trained more fugitives, and now they are a formidable force. |Every man in it has a personal score to even with Nazism.

With one stroke of the pen he has undone all the dip- lomatic negotiations with Brazil. NOTE:—In another instance of this kind, $72,000 worth of TNT ordered by Argentina and ready to be loaded on a ship dispatched specially for this purpose was dir- ected elsewhere. Finally, just as the ship was getting ready to leave rmpty-handed, the British made ivailable a quantity of TNT that hey were about to ship to England.' ARGENTINA PRESS REBUFFED Another good friend of the| United States in Latin America is| the powerful newspaper, La Naclnn._ in Buenos Aires. It has been a. vigorous opponent of Hitler and a strong friend of the United Swtesl It exercises tremendous mnuence‘ throughout South America. In mld‘\ summer La Nacion needed to re-| pair its type, asked 10 buy a small amount of zinc in the United States. | But so far General Maxwell has not | cut red tape sufficiently to permit | the zinc to move. The State De-| partment has been dinning at him. j The Argentine Embassy has been! requesting speed. But nothing has| happened. Thus we promote Latin Amer- ican good will at present. NOTE:—Argentine packers have large orders from U. 8. firms for canned beef. But, because of ob- structions here, the packers can't get the necessary tin cans to fill the orders. Naturally this does | not endear the U. 8. to Argentine business men. RED TAPE MOGUL Some of this shutting-off of| Latin American shipments is neces- | sary for National Defense, but much’ of it'is plain, ordinary red tape which could "bé cut by anyone save tape-worshipping General Maxwell. Géneral Maxwell is a regular army officer who takes great pains to impress upon other government of- ficials the fact that he reports only to the President of the United States and can slip in and out of the White House like an animated shuttlecock. Result of General Maxwell’s ac- tivities it two fold: (1) A number of American firms are doing business through branches in Canada. port regulations on shipments to South America, so U. 8. firms ship to Canada, then to South America. Thus our export restrictions in- tended to help Britian are being circumvented in British territory. (2) Latin American governments are tending to adopt the same tech- | niqgue which we and they so severely criticized on the part of the Soviet |government. They are pooling all purchases from the United States. Thus instead of one company’s’ or- dering direct from New York, all companies in a Latim American country will order through a gov- ernment agency. This is done on the direct suggestion of the U. S. State Department so it will not |liave. to pass upon the relative merit§ of, for instance, zinc to:La Nacion as against great paper, La Naclon as against zine to another great paper, La Prensa. Nevertheless, this system, if car- ried on after the war, will set up | “Soviet” buying agencies whereby { Latin. American governments can | pool putchases from Japan, Ger- many, or whichever country gives them the cheapest price, instead of cld-fashioned purchases direct be- tween firm and firm Several South American countries also have been quietly considering setting up government import mon- opolies by means of which they [rould bar all U. S. goods unless the | | U, 8. supplied them with the re- |quirements they wanted. NOTE:—Close to $170,000,000 | worth of defense and non-defense orders from - Latin America have | been tied up on one ground or another. Practfcally all of these Canada has no ex-| " this 'orders were financed out of the $473,000,000 - so far loaned South| American countries by the U. S. to promote inter-hemisphereic trade| and defense. AUTO SALESMAN OPM Director Bill Knudsen has- n't lost the knack of salesmanship since going to work for the govern- jment as a $l-a-year-man. The| former General Motors president recently sold a used car to Donald Nelson, OPM purchasing chief. | However, Knudsen credits his am- |iable chauffeur, Bob, with an “assist” on the sale. Knudsen drives a shiny Cadillac sedan, which he usually turns back| to ¢Feneral Motors after it has |gone 5,000 miles and gets a new lone.* The other day he was giving 'Nelson a lift down town when the chauffeur noted that the speed- ometer had reached the 5,000-mile| mark. “I guess we'll have to return buggy, Mr. Knutisen,” said Bob, sadly, “and I sure hate to lose it. It's the best car I've ever driven. Handles like a dream you buy it, Mr. Nelson?” “Say, that’s an idea,” broke in Knudsen. 'You need a car, Don, and you can't do better than this one. TI'll make the price right.” The OPM boss mentioned a fig- ure. “It’s a deal,” said Nelson, adding with a grin: “But remember, I demand the usual 90-day guar- antee.” (Copyright, 1941, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc.)
