This: We have The loss of these things, especially now when re- | creation must be sought closer to home, should be classed as some sort of sabotage. This is more than vandalism. The law provides serious penalties for such crimes. A few clues have been left by the vandals and it should be the duty of local law enforcement officers te do everything possible in tracking these destruct- ive creatures down and seeing that they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. Such destruction is not limited to the Juneau area. More than 300 road signs which direct motorists on the Richardson Highway in the Interior have been used by persons for targets. Every time a bullet smashes one of these road signs it takes another chunk out of the taxpayer's dollar, What pleasuro such unwholesome destruction gives not got the attack frame of mind.

You say, “That’s American territory., It’s not our business.” May be so, but the Aleutian Islands are a good sight nearer Canada than the U.S.A. and Canadian troops and good fliers are vitally con- cerned. And, anyway, this isn't a question of an American war, or a Canadian war, it is a United Nations war and it's just as much our business as anyone else’s what happens.

However, Turkish Premier Sara- coglu has had some unhappy con- versations with the Russians in the past and is not very enthusiastic about having Russian troops on Turkish soil. His memory goes back to the early autumn of 1939, just after the war started, when he was For- eign Minister of Turkey and was summoned to Moscow along with the Finns, the Estonians, the Lat- vians, and other Russian neighbors. At that time, Stalin proposed that three divisions of the Red Army be still remembers that talk in Moscow in 1939, and he is still suspicious of Russian troops on Turkish soil.

Officials in the Army’s Postal Service are preparing for the great- est volume of Yuletide mailipg to troops in history — far surpassing the past war—and they frankly ad- mit that they won't be able to handle it unless the public cooperates. So Postal Service chiefs pass along the following suggestion: (1) Begin buying your Christmas gifts now. (2) Wrap them in shoebox-size packages not exceeding five pounds. This 'will simplyfy handling. If necessary, send several packages, but keep them under five pounds.

Inside fact is that a much more prominent WPB official almost got the gate for the same reason. He was white-haired Harvey Anderson, {able chief of the Conservation and Substitution division. On orders from Nelson, Anderson was called on the carpet by William Batt, WPB Vice-Chairman, and giv- en a vigorous dressing-down for a statement to a weekly magazine in which he declared that “bad man- agement” was the real cause of metal shortages. Batt warned Anderson, a former official of American Telephone and Telegraph, that he« would be asked to resign if he did any more talking for publication, criticizing the con- duct of the war production pro- gram. “Any time you or Mr. Nelson feel you want to dispense with my serv- ices here, say the word,” retorted me to come back anyohw.” job is the price of cleaning up the Anderson hotly. “My company wants i NOTE: ‘When fortright young ‘plane, piloted by Libbey learned he was to be dis- Norman Weav charged, he told friends: “If my uus noon for the Westward. rotten abuses in’ the iron and steel | MeCormick, placed at Canak-Kale on the Dar- danelles to guard the entrance to the Black Sea.
