Walter A Soboleff, pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church. of Juneau. “You are living in strenuous times,” the speaker reminded the class, “times when all men, young | folks as well, must make sacrifices | “It is a time for disco’ g your personal ‘spiritual priorities’— qual- ities that must be considered above {all things. When my' visions, my dreams, tumble down SOITOW {comes into my home, material things {cannot make me happy. Hold onto i{that which is vital, and may your priority of life be the Muster of life; God bless you one and all.” Quoting the motto: “Who does not answer to the rudder must answer to the rock,” the Rev. So- boleff said: “Your boat is still in /the small coves and inlets of living |vou are without much knowledge |of navigation. Yours is still a shal- |low craft which will grow and be- |come ready for deeper water.” | Prayer and reverence are im- | portant “priorities of life,”” the min- |ister stated, adding that the life |of Jesus Christ itself is the great- est sermon in the Bible Families and friends of the grad-, |uates turned out for the baccal-| aureate sermon in considerable numbers, there being between 500 and 600 present.

Yahagi, chief of the army press section, quoted in the Tokyo broadcast as say- ing the Americans launched a three-pronged attack against Attu. The main force, the spokesman said, effected a landing on the southern coast on the morning of May 12 and succeeded in moving inland, attacking the Japanese posi tions, only to be driven back to the beach that night. PITCHED BATTLE pitched battle is now Lahagi d, between the Jap troops and another American force that landed simultaneously on the northern coast of Attu. A third American tempted to land on the east coast but was ‘“completely an- n lated” on the beach. This | is a quoted statement of Ya- hag! There is no conf this Jap version of campaign from source. Official sources in Waskh ton maintain strict silenc POISON GAS ALLEGED Yahagi is also quoted, alleg- ing the American troops resort- ed to poison gas on May 14 and May 15 in an attempt to dis- lodge the Japanese, but de- clared however, the Japanese have ‘“not retaliated.” In Washington, the Navy de- nied emphatically the claims of the enemy in the radio broadcast that poison gas was used by the United States troops at Attu. The Navy spokesman said the “enemy claim that U. S. Forces in the Aleutians used gas is abso- lutely untrue.” - Poppy Day May 29 fin a8 B,e, Observed.

This, coupled with the fact that the trollers out of Seattle enjoy a fresh fish market on which the OPA has set no ceiling prices gives these Seattle producers a dis tinct advantage over Alaska-pro- duced fish Because of the irregular boat service we cannot ship fish in the fresh fish market, and when we such fancy prices as 48 cents to 52 cents a pound quoted in the papers for fresh salmon market, we would like to make it clear that the United Trollers of Alaska, Lo- cal No. 26, I.

The poppies this year will honor the men who have given their lives in the present conflict, as well a those who fell among the poppi of France and Belgium 25 y ago, she said. The money contribut- ed for the flowers will be used for the welfare of victims of both wars and their families. The Poppy Committee of the Auxiliary is making extensive pre- parations for the observance of Poppy Day here, under the lead- ership of Florence Mutch and Betty McCormick, acting unit Poppy Chairman. The little red flowers of remembrance will be available to everyone in the city, offered by volunteer workers from the Auxil- iary who will be on the streets throughout the day. The flowers, made of crepe paper in replica of the old Flanders poppy, have arrived from Walla Walla, where disabled veterans manufactured them under direc- tion of the Washington Department of the Auxiliary. Poppy making has kept the hands of hundreds of these unfortunate men usefully employed during the winter and spring, help- ing them pass the long hospital 'hours and aiding in their rehabili- tation. More Americans than ever before are expected to wear poppies this year as a personal tribute to| those who have been killed, and to aid the disabled, their families and the families of the dead.
