The quest of fur was the foundation of the exploration of our country and speeded its conquest Today, it plays its major role in human morale, con- tributing a materfal and spiritual satisfaction as it lifts the spirits of our womanhood to meet the sor- rows and griefs of war and cheers them to cheer our fighting forces in the field.

After a brief investigation | the President learned to his aston- | ishment that 23 of the 24 individuals | on the list were Republicans. “Bill, there’s thing I understand about these you've sent over,” Roosevelt Knudsen a few days later. “How does it happen that there’s one Democrat among them? Is it pos- sible his name could have been sub- | mitted through an error?” ‘ Knudsen blushed, promised to look | into the matter. The next day the | OPM boss (now a Lieutenant Gen- eral, charged with speeding up pro- duction in war plants) had lunch with the President and reported that he had the answer to his question “There was no mistake, Mr. Pres- ident,” said Knudsen, with a mis- chievous twinkle. “That fellow is a Democrat, all right, but we checked up on him and found him to be O.

He had served in naval aviation in War I, so immediately after Pearl Harbor | he was placed in command of a| naval air base south of Norfolk, Va.| There, one of his jobs was 10 develop new runways and improve the field. But, unable to get suffi- cient concrete, he wrote to the com- manding admiral at Norfolk gesting the use of black top for the runway. The runways were needed in a hurry, because planes were necessary for patrolling the Atlantic Coast against submarines ] However, the Norfolk commander referred the matter to the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics in Washing- ton; the Bureau of Aeronautics re-! ferred the question to the Burea of ¥Yards and Docks; the Bureau of Yards and Docks referred the pro- posal to the Bureau of Shore Estab- lishments; the Bu 1 of Shore Es- tablishments sent the letter on to the commander of the 5/h Naval District, who finally sent it back to “Lt.

A bomb is a bomb, no matter from what source it falls, and in the end it is more pitiable to be de- stroyed by decree and degree than by the sudden burst of a demolition. We have but one obligation to our country. This obligation is that whether we be Marines or fur farmers, we go down fighting, if we go down at all We all have the obligation of tenacity in national and self preservation and we shall fail of that obli- gation, if we fail to save our economic basis and keep it active and able to buy war bonds and pay war taxes. Those who would make this impossible, arg traitors in fact, if not intention One of our greatest conflicts is that of saving ourselves against ourselves. Of men it has been said, | Wwe are our own worst enemies and as with the indi- vidual, so it is with the Nation. In true American spirit we look with askance at asininity regardless of the austerity in which it may be clothed and turn again to our labors, determined to keep our balance in spite of the hysterical reasoning which would de- feat us. We say again that fur contributed to our foun- dations may yet prove a saving factor.

Astrologers warn of coming restrictions and experiences that will prove what war really means. This is a time to appreciate all the blessings now enjoyed and to savor each day’s pleasures.

E EMPIRE First dance of the school year was given in the high school gym from 9 to 12 o'clock the previous evening. The senior class had the reputation of being one of the peppiest in school and more than lived up to its reputation. Jacob Britt was elected president of the senior high Associated Stu- dents for the school term. Daisy Ofa was chosen as secretary and treas- urer, Leonard Holmquist and John Jahiksela recelved the same hilmber of votes each for vice-president and after two ballots the eléction of an officer for this post was postponed until the next meeting. Unless something unforseen occurred, Aviator Roy I. Jones was to make an exhibition flight in this seaplane Northbird on the following day, he said. It was impossible to get x'epaim completed in time to fly before. Charles Goldstein and Mrs. Goldstein were returning to Juneau on the Spokane after an absence in the states dur ing which Mr. Goldstein went to New York on business in connection with Goldstein’s Emporium. C. R. Smith, appraisal engineer for the Income Tax Unit, Internal Revenue, arrived in Juneau on the Alameda and left for Port Althorp and Cape Edwards on government business J. W. Kehoe, local attorney, returned to Juneau on the Alameda from a trip on business to the southern end of the division. W. B. Heisel, of the U. S. Land Office, Field Division, returned from Ketchikan on the Alameda He had been absent for a short time on official business. At a meeting of Trinity Guild the previous day it was decided that each member be given $1 and to report back the amount earned by The first meeting to further this plan to raise funds for the Guild treasury was to be a silver tea at the home of Mrs. H. V. Sully, October 18, from 2 until 5 o'clock. Mesdames Sully, Hungerford and Robinson were to serve This was to be followed by a bridge tea at Trinity Guild Hall on October 28, from 2 until 5 o'clock. Mesdames Walstein G. Smith and George D. Beaumont were to be hostesses when need of supplies in war-torn | centers will be great. The. sub- | marine menace will be less serious | than it has been, owing to Unit- | ed States defense measures which | zain «in efficiency to which clever new inventions contribute. NATIONAL ISSUES: As the United States begins to demon- | strate the nation’s great power, and victory for the Allies is fore- seen in the Second World War, | desire of Europeans who have suf- | fered under Hitler's power to re- build their lives on our soil will | presage immigration problems of magniture.
