CENSORSHIP Control of the flow of news affecting military and naval operations is a job that calls for experi- ence, cool judgment, and tact on the part of the! censors, and it is not surprising that these qualities have shown up with wide variation in the opening| The prospective juror pleaded they were very Tho‘busy at the railroad shop and he really ought to be there. “So,” sneered the Judge, “you're one of those out you!” “No, Your Honor,” said the shopman. “I know it could get along without me, but I don’t |want them to find out.” Snapped the Judge. “Exeused!” A decision of the Bermuda Supreme Court de- |clares that a woman is not a “person.” But the jurists didn't go on from there and define what she is. | | | A dental spokesman claims that there are more automobiles than toothbrushes in the United States. who think the Union Pacific couldn't get along with- | days of the war.

This letter, believe it or not, was written in May, 1941, less than a year ago. Today, however, the situation is reversed. The War Department is actually clamoring for a road to Alaska. It can’t be built fast enough. However, the Canadian Governmet, while not vetoing the plan, still is not enthusiastic. Its position is that the United State: can build it if it pays for it, and if Canada maintains all rights to it (since it is Canadiar soil) after the war is over. GOOD GAGMEN Comedians Ole Olsen and Billy House of “Hellzapoppin” wete the luncheon guésts of several senators the other day, including Demograt- | ic leader Alben Barkley of Ken-| tucky, Tom Stewart of Tennessee, Mon Wallgren of Washington and Harley M. Kilgore of West Vir-§ ginia. During the luncheon, senators view with the comedians for laughs—Barkley with his best ne- gro stories; Wallgren, with his famous Seandinavian stories; and Stewart with his Tennessee moun- taineer yarns. Comedians Olsen and House had 2 great laugh, but the press agent scem mystified. Finally, he leaned wver to Senator Kilgore and asked: “Say, these fellows I work for are professional comedians. It's their business to make people laugh. But you senators have them skinned a mile. Do you mind letting me in on a secret—who writes your gags?” 4 GEORGE SYLVESTER VIERECK . Bignificant fact about the trial of George S{ylvester Viereck, charged with being an illegal Nazi agent, is that his defense counsel is Daniel Cohalan, son of retired New York Supreme Court Justice Daniel Cohalan.

Of the 45 members of the crew aboard when it had left Langley Field the previous day, only 11 were known to have survived. ‘The appropriation for work in Mt. McKinley Park, contained in the Department of the Interior appropriation bill, was cut from $10,000 to $8,000. Appropriations for other National Parks were cut accordingly. Five wireless men from the Cordova district, all accompanied by their wives, were aboard the Northwestérn, having been transferred to the States. They were H. J. Murphy, O. D. Mitchell, C. S. Johnson, D. Allen and R. S. Wooley. Richard Wakelin, well known Alaska merchandise broker, was leav- ing on the Northwestern for a business trip to Wrangell, Aboard the stemer Northwestern was a cargo of 1,500 tons of copper taken on at Cordova for shipment to the smelter at Tacoma. { The Sebastian-Stuart Company bid in 12,000 pounds of halibut at 10 and 5 cents.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: It is well o0 make the most of each day’s profits for there is to be a great sxtra drain on our national re-| ources by midsummer. This week Mrs. A. A. Shonbeck, wife of one of the leading Anchorage merchants, was aboard the Northwestérn on her way to California for a vacation. Practically every place of business in Juneau, all Fedéral and Terri- torial offices and schools were to be closed the following nay in observance of Washington's Birthday. C. F.

MODERN ETIQUETTE * roprrra LEe Q. What type of social letters always demands a prompt letter in 1 reply? A. Any letter which invites one to attend an affair of some kind, If asked by one to attend a dinner, supper, or even breakfast, or to spend an evening playing bridge, or to go for an automobile drive, a ote of acceptance or regret should always be written promptly.
