Soviet industry has survived the test of last year, now is stronger than ever. Meanwhile, Germany and Japan faces the rest of the world alone. Assured of the ultimate defeat of the Nazi foe, Russian commentators are no longer ignoring the Japanese. Several recent articles in Party magazines point out that Japan also is an enemy of Russia.

The Automobile Industry (Cincinnati Enquirer) When popularity of the automobile led us into a period of prosperity after World War I few, if any, of those who put their money into a car realized that they were helping to create an industry that would prove the country's salvation several years hence When it became apparent that World War II was to be an air war the nation turned to the automobile industry to help manufacture parts for planes because it had the plants, the personnel and the trainec brains to produce quickly and in quantity what was needed. It was just a little more than three years ago that motor vehicle makers were asked to help expeditc warplane production by taking on $500,000,000 wortl of subcontracting on the heavy bomber program | Since that time the industry has prouced more than Some idea of the scope of the recent summer and | $4,000,000,000 worth of airplanes, aircraft engines and fall fighting in Russia may be had from the following | @€ro equipment, $3,000,000000 worth of which has figures: | been produced in the last 12 months. The industry 1,300,000 killed, 1,570,000 wounded, 130,000 pris- currently is producing aircraft units at the rate of oners, 10,200 planes destroyed, 9529 guns destroyed, $11,000,000 a day.

Sale of the gasboat Pilgrim by its owner, John Lowell, t0 Martin Otterstad and Harry Hendrickson was registered in the local U S. Customs Office this day. The vessel was a five-ton craft which had been operated out of this port as a halibut boat by Capt. Lowell. The new owners were to use it as a tender for a fox ranch which they were operating in this district. As a benefit for the Playground the Juneau Fire Department was to give a dance at the Elks' Hall following the usual large Thanksgiving dinners planned by loeal residents. The Hawaiian Serenaders were to | furnish the music. H The last in a series of whist parties at the Parish Hall was to be |given this night.

Some headliner talent was promised for the vaudeville section. | A new garage on Main Stieet, built by the force of the L. F. Morris | Carpenter Shop, was completed according to announcement.
