SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP, NEW YORK Leatherneck ‘Writes to His Dog Dear Old Pal: You know, I’ve been wondering. When a guy’s out here, a long way from home, he does a lot of thinking and a lot of wondering. I’ve been wondering if Mom ever reads you any of my letters. Or may- be Mom, not knowing dogs like I do, sort of has it in her head that you wouldn’t understand if she did read them to you. But I know different. I’ve been wondering about some- thing else, too. I’ve been thinking that this selective service thing doesn’t go far enough. When a guy like me has got a dog like you, they ought to let us team up. I've been in a couple of spots lately where I could have used you . . . and how! And you would have loved it because you sure are fond of the gun! And talk about fox holes! Gee, T’ve been in a lot of "em lately, and when I get out of em, I don’t al- ways pick up the “scent.” That’s where you'd come in ., .with a nose like yours. I’'ve made up my mind to one thing. If ever I ran a war, I'd fix it 8o that pals like you could go along, because what’s the use of having a lot of fun and excitement (and, be- lieve it or not, plenty of beef) when you can’t share it with your best pal. Well, I've got to be a little careful what I write you because the cen- sor reads all these letters, so take good care of yourself and guard the old homestead. Don’t let anybody pull off any funny business while we guys with the tin hats are away. And whatever you do, don’t eat too much; stay in condition because this shindig is going to be over one of these days, and then I'll lay down this rifle and pick up the old scatter gun, and go out with you— just the two of us—and do some shooting that don’t do too much harm. So long, old meat dog. I'll be see- ing you. Your friend, * Jack. P. S. Tell that fancy bench dog up the street that this is no place for him. You can’t get very far in this in Seattle which orders the com- pany to increase the pay of ail workers of the mine 14 cents hour, retroactive as of May 1, 1943 If the national board upholds the order, the mine will probably closc down operations, according to all indications. The president of the company has informed mine superintendent J. A Williams that unless a substantial increase in crew becomes available dverse action by the board will force the shutdown The petition and brief contend that the company has been operat- ing at a loss for some time, and even though to close down would endanger the supply of electricity 'and water to Juneauites, there is no other recourse The petition states that the com- pany has lost $31,000 already this vear, and the amount would be in- creased to $100,000 if the portion of Joe Romero, Fred Sothern, Harvey Sommers, and J.

The A. | sociated Pr core card gave Moore five rounds, en two rounds |and three were even Rasmussen caught his shorter op- ponent in the head frequently in | the early rounds but fell a victim to | the more experienced Moore later [who frequently scored many telling body punches. The Northern boy apparently caught the eye of Ref- eree Fred Bottaro because of his | hard, tenacious fighting. Rasmu although being bored down by sharp body attacks, kept punching bravely to the last bell. e YOUR BROKEN LENSES adv. | Blomgren Bldg. Phone 636.
