NOT A Sl.\'Gl\’G WAR When Secretary of War Stimson attended the w.ashmgl.on opening of “This Is The Army,” he told author Irving Berlin that he remembered him at Camp Upton, N. Y., where Stimson was a colonel of field ar- tillery and Berlin was the buck private who staged “Yip, Yip, Yap- hank.” Stimson liked both the 1918 and 1942 shows immensely. Berlin, who has written more pop- ular music hits than ‘anyone in America, tells his army friends that! this is not a singing war. “In the last war,” he says, “we had a great push in France that people knew about. But now the fighting is scattered and they can't get so excited. “But even in the last war,” Berlin, “there was only one really great song. That was George Co- han’s ‘Over There’ That was a’ song which only George Gohan' could write, and at the time he never realized that he had pro- duced a masterpiece “A lot of the other songs in the last war were love songs. Take ‘Tip- pera for instance. Sentiment is natural in war time—men going away, women left behind. But real war songs are born only with deep national emotion, and we haven't struck it yet.” NOTE: Irying Ferlin has written the outstanding song of the war so far, “I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen’—a love song.

Copies of the ruling had just been received in Juneau. THE EMPIRE W. T. Lopp, superintendent for Alaska, U.S. Bureau of Education, and G. W. Hawkesworth, superintendent of education in Southeast Alaska, were to leave Juneau on the Spokane for Ketchikan on their way to Met- lakatla to inspect the school there.

B. Selby, Seward and An- drew Nerland, Fairbanks. Mrs. Winifred Jones, proprietor of the former Fashion Store in Ju- eau, had opened a similar place in Portland, acccrding to word received from her. She had closed her store in Juneau several months previously and moved to Portland. Delayed birthday grectings from President Warren G. Harding were received by Gov. Scott C. Bone in an Alaska Day message. The message stated “On this 55th anniversary of the transfer of Alaska to the United States, please extend my greetings to the citizens of Alaska, together with my best wishes for the future prosperity and well being of the Territory.” George Marshall, of Marshall and Newman Company, and Mrs. Mar- shall were to leave on the Spokane for Seattle and Portland on a combined business and pleasure trip.

He was to be accompanied by C. R. Smith, appraisal engineer for the Internal Revenue Department, who had been at Port Althorp and Cape Edwards on government business. W. A. Bates, Seattle banker, was to become cashier of the Miners and Merchants bank at Ketchikan beginning November 1. He was to succeed A. R. Larson who had resigned to enter private business.
