However, this year has brought forth a pretty lively contest on several issues and the voters may surprise even themselves. Nashinglen it Merry- bo-Round (Continuea utom Page One) had no place else could be softened. This was a vic- tory for Churchill. However, it was also decided that we should not invade the Balkans.| This, in turn, was a victory for| Last year about 600 worfhy citizens managed to get up enough interest to ‘cast their ballots, even though more than 900 had registered, supposedly with the intention of voting. We hope to see a good vote tomorrow, ome that will be truly representative of the people of Juneail An active participation in electing officials is neces- sary to the success of the democratic form of govern- ment. The polls Will open at 8 a. m. and close at 7 p. m. —ample time for any who wish to vote. If a poor vote is cast, Juneau should have mo excuses, Starvation in France . (Cincinnati Enquirer) Hitler often has admitted—even boasted of—his plan to break other nations by cruel and inhuman methods. Starvation is one of his allies, and he is using it to the fullest in most conquered areas. The story of the slow starvation of France was recently told in graphic terms by Professor Balthazard before the Academie de Medicine. . > According to his findings, the Germans have re- duced the diets of the average French adult to 1,100 calories each day. About 3,000 is required. Some | Frenchmen have enough money to resort to the black market, but even here it is impossible to secure the full amount needed—even for the wealthy. The result is that the great majority of the people are des- perately undernourished, weak and anemic. Professor Balthazard recited many results which now are apparent. All diseases havk increased, be- cause the resistance of the nation has been lowered. | Particularly dangerous infections are taking tolls from 20 to 40 per cent above normal. The death | rate, naturally, is increasing in leaps and bounds. Children and young pecple are suffering especially, since they require food to assure proper and healthy growth. In Bordeaux, where blood donors mere sought to give plasma, 46 per cent of the youths who applied as donors had to be rejected because of physical infirmities. An entire generation is being reared on halt-starvation rations. | This, of course, is in keeping with the Hitler | plan. Resistance in weak nations and races, he reasoned, would be ineffective; seasily crushed. It | will take years of work and effort to restore to| France, and to other of the smaller nations, the |ent Cassino trap—largely because the Allied armies in Southern Italy (Copyright, 1944, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Goldstein for Maylor, made a clean sweep in the municipal election the previous day, winning by 2 vote of about two to one. Others on the ticket were Gunnar Blomgren, A. F. McKinnon and W. J. Reck, all for a two-year term as Councilmen, and W. W. Casey as Director of the School Boaid. FRRATGH . At a well attended meeting, H. L.

Other officers eletted were Mrs. Helen Bernhofer, Vice-President; Mrs. Carrie Dunn, Secretary-Treasurer, and on the Executive Board were Mis. F. A. Metealf, R. S. Rierson and W. S. Pullen. Work was to resume on the Apex-El Nino mining properties at Lisianski Inlet at once, according to J. H. Cann, President and General Manager of the company, who, accompanied by Mrs. Cann, arrived on the Alaska. By an almost unanimous vote of the Commiittee of Control of the Southeast Alaskan Inter-School Meet, that event had been changed from Ketchikan to Juneau and was to be held at the time originally planned. Emmal Jacobson, for some time connected with the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, was to leave soon for San Francisco, where he had accepted a position with an electrical house in the Golden Gate City. Mrs. Jacobson was to accompany him. On their annual inspection trip, Capt. George H. Whitney and John Newmarker, of the local Federal Steamboat Inspection Board, left on the Admiral Rogers for Ketchikan. Weather report: High, 36; low, 35; snow.
