Troy Alas His passing is regretted by r the Territory Mr. Troy came to Alaska toward the close of the last century. He had been engaged in the newspaper business in his native state of Washington and im- mediately after arriving in 1897 in Skagway entered the newspaper business there. Subsequently, he bought the Juneau Empire and was its controlling owner at the time of his death. For almost half -a century, Mr. Troy himself to the upbuilding of the Tefritory.

Sincerely attached from carly manhood to the principles of the Democratic Party. Mr. Troy was a leader in its councils, Repeatedly he was a delegate to its national conventions, As Customs Collector for the Territory and as its Governor he administered his duties with an eye single to its advantage. He approached every problem with the purpose of arriv- ing at a solution that would serve and benefit the plople of his homeland Scarcely any man had a wider acquaintance than Mr. Troy among Alaskans. He had visited nearly all parts of the Territory. At his newspaper offices and |at his collectorship and gubernatorial headquarters he was visited constantly by Northerners as they passed Juneau in going to and from their places of residence in the far flung parts of Alaska. He was intimately acquainted with conditions everywhere in the North. In his private interests and in his public offices he Jabored hard and unceasingly to promote the wel- fare of the Territory. God rest his soul, and comfort his beloved ones. Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle John W. Troy had not been actively engaged in}| | editing the Daily Alaska Empire at Juneau since his appointment as Governof of Alaska back in 1933. Nevertheless, he was properly known as the dean of | Alaskan newspapermen. His imprint on the Empire and on the Democratic Party of Alaska were import- | ant factors in the growth and development of Juneau and the Territory. Up to the time when failing health curbed his activities, Mr. Troy was a real force in Alaska. In his many years as a newspaperman, Mr, Troy | fought ageressively for betterment of the Territory. Many of the things he advocated have come to pass. | In his last years, it must have been a source nf‘ ‘laullsm(hun to him that Alaska was at last getting some of the recognition that he so long had urged | it was entitled to.

To bis office trekked the rich and the poor, the hale and the lame. It was said of him, and on sound premise, that he always had his hand | in his pocket to help somebody out.

The remedy prescribed by Drs. Ross and Rehner is very simple— also very similar to that prescribed | by the Navy—chiefly eye-exercise,| plus plenty of carrot juice.

THREE U. S. FRONTS Yet, the United States with a total army ol around 3,000,000 men, and with most of these still in the United Stdtes, must think of three fronts—Australia, the Middle East, and the prospective front in Europe Of course, American troops for the European front still are only a token force. Actually England has enough men under arms to con- stitute an invading army. But the main preblem facing both England and the United States is ships. Nazi announcements of ship|. sinkings show that th have a pretty good idea of U. S.-British ship tonnage, so it can be no se- cret that we lack not only the ships to keep a big army supplied with munitions, but might find it very difficult to take an invading force across the channel in the first place, and keep it supplied in the second place, Third is the problem of landing on the European continent at all. Durine the two years that the Nazi pounding Hitler in Europe continues to be from the air. And this un- doubtedly will be the chief U. S.- British strategy. But despite the almost super-human obstacles, it is still considered absolutely necessary, somehow or other, to get a land force on the Continent to set up a second front against Hitler. And the age of miracles is not over. OFFENDED BOOTLEGGER Court Asher, whose “tsblationist weekly, Ra was banned from the mails, admitted at the Post Office Department hearing that he was an ex-Ku Kluxer and had been convicted for viplating state and federal liquor laws. But the brawny Indianan indig- nantly denied that he had been a “petty bootlegger.” “Why,” he protested angrily, “I never sold less than a case of liguor in my life. It's an outrage calling me a petty bootlegger.” DO-AS-DONE-BY DEPARTMENT One stumbling block " to ‘entering the Navy is defective eye-sight And out in Detroit two optometrists, | Drs. John Ross and L. E. Rehner, have been giving their services at nights to youngsters from the Uni-| versity of Michigan who have passe utes at night. After this, the Navy prescribes massaging the closed eyes with a large sewing (himb‘,u for five minutes. Drs. Ross and Rehner also ad- vise using the eyes outdoors to look around as much as possible without turning the head. What the eyes need, they say, is plenty of muscu- lar exercise, for eyes are like leg muscles, arms or anything else. The two doctors paid tribute to the eagerness of hundreds of young men to get into the service, and nights to do their to them. part heip MAIL BAG C.
