FORMER JUNEAU MAN DIES IN JAP PRISON CAMP IN PHILIPPINES According to word received here Capt. George H. Miller, formerly Safety Engineer for the U. S.

After resigning from the Bureau,| Miller took an engineering job with the mining concern of W, E. Dunkle | in the Westward and in 1839, both he and his wife went to the Philip- pine Islands. Capt.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Jan. 29— Rear Admiral Howard L. Vickery, Chairman of the Maritime Com- mission, proposes the United States postwar merchant marine take over trade routes formerly operated by Germany and Japan and recom- mending that neither nation be al- lowed to regain naval power. Admiral Vickery also suggested that America’s gigantic fleet, too large to be restricted to prewar trade routes, supplant the Axis in foreign commerce. e e e——— AT JUNEAU HOTEL Claude Johnson, here from Seat- tle, is a guest at the Hotel Juneau.

Why did it happen here, when it couldn’t happen here? Well, let’s look back—Ilet’s see how it did happen. | Bonds weren’t good enough for us. Savings banks weren’t exciting as brokers’ offices. We were trying to compress our lives—to squeeze the juice of three score years and ten into a decade. We wanted for next to nothing the things our fathers had worked and sweated and saved for. My wife’s clothes had to be better, smarter—more expensive than your wife’s—and her jewelry, too. You spend a thousand dollars for your car? So what? I'm spending thirteen hundred for mine. (On time.) And say—looka my new radio! Twenty-two tubes, three loud speakers, record changer, home recorder and three short-wave bands! The old one? Oh, I traded it in when I bought the new one—and the new refrigerator, and the dining- room furniture—slick, ch?—‘‘modern,” they call it. How much? What’s the difference?—Twenty-four payments of eighty dollars instead of sixty-five! I'll never missit : ¢ s . worry . “ Hold on a minute, brother s s s Did we “miss it” in the early “thirties?” Did we “miss it” when some fifteen million men walked the street—camped out—lived in huts and shacks and lean-tos? Did we ‘“‘miss it” while brave women scrubbed and acoured and patched and mended until their finger tips were raw, their hands rough—and their hearts dull with the pain of abandoned hopes? Hold on once more . : . This time chances are we won't bounce back again! Many people now realize what a close shave it was the last time . ; ; how desperately near we were to chaos and national ruim. MUST we come with another crash? MUST we ignore, not one, nor two, nor three—but the dozens of lessons taught us by history? MUST we head straight along the road-to-ruin we took last time? It's what's beginning to happen, right here—now—, in our country. People are making more money than they ever did before and spending it. Spending it faster than they ever did before. . ] The old “short-life-but-a-merry-one” story is back with us. But how merry 1S it? : Where’s the money coming from—*prosperity?” No ... war. From the Business of Death we've been forced into, From things made to kill people. From things made to kill other people so they won’t kil us. | Win, lose, or draw, the war will end some day. . No war has lasted forever. AL Then what? Those same war-factory wheels will again slow down and stop. Men will walk out of factories and hear the gates grind closed behind them—many of them to stay closed. And maybe the green grass will grow between the stones of factory courtyards before the men will come back to work again . . . slowly . . . a few at a time. The same as the last time? And the time before that? ' Well, it shouldn’t be, but it will be even worse— unless we use our common sense now! There’s no special Providence watching over this country, in spite of all our songs and slogans. We're people—just like any other people. Luckier, yes. Our land is fairer—endowed with more riches than any other lands. And we’ve worked hard—or used to, anyway, Nobody knows how much is left of American spirit and guts—yet. We think it's greater than before, The Japs and the Germans will find that out. But listen, Mister : ; 3 Don’t fool yourself! The time's going to come when you’ll need those dollars you’re throwing around now. If hard times catch up with you, it isn’t that night- club proprietor who's going to return the money you spent in his plgce—no, not any part of it! And all the unnecessary gimmicks and gadgets you think you need now won’t be worth a dime on the dollar then. And when your pockets are empty it won't be because you'll be taking money out of them—but because no money will be going into them. How about those bright kids of yours? Will they have to work instead of going to high or college? And those beautiful rings you bought your wife? Supposing you lose your job . . ; how long can you last before pawning those baubles, for a fraction of what they cost you? 4 SPEND! This article was written by Ralph de Castro for the Savingds Banks of New York State to help the Government promote War Savings. ¥ Solook : s s When you want to spend money or buy something new, just imagine you were spending your next-to- the-last dollar. Don't ask how happy you'd be with what you get for your money—but whether you'd be miserable without it. That’s the only test. Otherwise you're just kidding yourself. Lighting matches to ten dollar bills you're going to need—sure some day. What? Oh, you're making more money? save more—don’t spend more! Because the money we all save now will play a Then ‘tremendous part in the after-war ecomomy of our country. The money we save now will be a cushion of buying power—those sorely-needed dollars to ‘‘start things up again” in our civilian economy—to keep us from national bankruptcy until the wheels start moving again. The dollars you waste now may be the dollars you'll need then—yes, perhaps even for such matter-of-fact things as bread and milk and meat. . Why do you suppose your Government urges you to save? It’s perfectly simple—to ward off disaster. To make sure that the crash that “couldn’t happen here” doesn’t happen again. So that possible (if not proba- ‘ ble) after-war depression doesn’t find you at the tail end of a bread line fifteen-million-people-long. So that a war we win by fighting won’t be lost by waste. ®) Remember, we're at war! Dollars are needed just ‘as much as men—to back up those men—to give your boy, your brother, or your pal the stuff he needs to beat the Axis, and cbme back alive. Money wasted on foolish luxuries won’t do this. Once spent, it's gone, and neither you nor the boys fighting for you are better off for, the spending. But the dollars you save in War Bonds or your saving account will help Uncle Sam buy the guns, the tanks, the ships and the planes we must have to survive and win. And those savings will guarantee your future—the financial future of you, your family, and the boys who are fighting for us all. Nobody can tell you what's going to happen after the war, of its searing effect on the Nation. But somebody can tell you what will happen to you. You can. Make a plan and stick to it. Guarantee your own future. So many dollars every payday into War Bonds and into your savings account. Then, come hell or high water, follow your plan. Protect your family. Build up reserves. Create a stock of money and make it grow, Your money. Your Bonds. Your protection. And the bigger the stock of savings you create, the better off you'll be—to buy the good things you will want when the war is over—that new car, that re- frigerator and radio you can’t get now—things that make American life the best in the world. Meanwhile, helping yourself, your savings moncy will go to work helping your country, to provide fight- ing equipmept for your boys to lick the Axis—homes for war workers—roads, railroad equipment and ships to transport war materials from the factory to the front. Your dollars working for Victory and Peace! So, when you save wisely, you're helping your coun- try and yourself at the same time. Honest, now : : & Could you ask for anything better?
