March! !24.—Money doesn’t grow in head |lettuce, so Mrs, Lillian Stoddart was amazed when she began to peel {the outer leaves from the lettuce she had just brought home—and peeled off a $50 bill. She returned to the market and itold the operator she would leave the bill with her mother-in-law, |who would be home all day, and |the owner could have it if he could identify it. | | Soon afterward a sailor called on the elder Mrs. Stoddard. He saif he was Tim Morris and had just jcome ashore and had gone to the | market to buy fruit. He had taken lout his money, which included two $50 bills, and had dropped one. He |said he had seached the neighbor- hood for the money because he had to bave it to pay his income tax. Mrs. Stoddard was convinced. | “You're luckier than I am, ’she told the sailor. “I lost my bag a few days ago, but couldn’t find ia trace of it. It had my glasses in it, too, and some money and |some valuable personal effects.” | The sailor grinned. | “If it was a brown purse with' | the initial ‘8’ on it,"she said, “you’ll |find ¥t at the creamery on the cor- |ner. I ran across it while scouting ,around for my $50.” { | ! UTHERAN LENTEN | SERVICE TONIGHT | Tonight at 7:30 o'clock the Res- ! urrection Lutheran Church will {vice in the’church.

In writing recently of “The| Meaning of USO,” Chester I. Bm‘-\ nard, President of the national or-| ganization, said in part: “There are many aspects of the| services we render. It is interest- ing and amazing to see the li of the different kinds of things' we do; there is romance in the! reports that come in to us. | “A very large part of what wol do is material in nature. It is re-| creation: yet that is a secondary thing from our point of view. We shall certainly not have made a success of this job unless, when we come out of it, people will have respect, not for the recreation we supplied, but for the motivation | behind it “What we are trying to do is to preserve the personality, the per= sonal integrity, of the men and women who come within the scope of our operations. “We have an opportunity to demonstrate the capacity of private agencies to do this sort of job. We have an opportunity to promote respect for high ideals and reli- gion. We have an opportunity to promote understanding between the races. We have an opportunity to| promote tolerance.” . Insofar as the local club has achieved some measure of success knowledges that this is due largely to the city-wide cooperation of the | {endlessly generous and thoughtful | people of Juneau, who never are too busy or too tired to do some- | thing more for the men of the| Service. The soldiers at Duck Creek Camp share of entertainment, but on Thursday they were singularly for- tunate in hearing a most enlight- ening talk by that brilliant news- paper-woman and author, Dr. Ruth | in Siberia and elsewhere in the Arctic.

However, the im- portant criterion is whether the rate of accidents in relation to hours flown has increased dispro- portionately.” In peace time, it was enough if a pilot could take off in clear weather, and perhaps bring his plane home through’ a mild storm. Today, pi- lots are being trained to fly in the Arctic blizzards of Iceland and the Aleutians; .in those flash storms that constantly whip the south Pacific; in the tropical rains and sandstorms of North Africa; and in the fogs over Europe. The only method of training to combat these weather hazards is to fly in them and the United States in that respect is one of the great It pilots in training get a little taste of most of it before they are sent into combat. Such bad weather flying increas- es accidents but it slso makes for greater safety later on. That box seore which showed that we were losing® only one plane n combat to .each five to ' seven lost by the Japanese and one to every ithree last by the German's can't be attributed entirely to su- periority of planes. Most of the credit must go to the men who fly them—and back of thaf to. the training those men received before they got their wings. YOUR BROKEN LENSES Replaced in our own shop. Eyes Examined.
