The Angels. dropped a double-header to the Rainiers Sun- | day, 6-3 and 8-3. The double win | gave Seattle the series, four games | to two, and left the northern club knotted with its Portland neighbor at the top of the league standings. Hank Sweeney’s homer in the ! sixth inning broke up a pitcher’s duel between Elmer Orella and | Carl Dumler to give the San Diego Padres a 2 to 1 victory over S: 1 Francisco in the nightcap of Sun- day’s double-header. The Seals took the opener, 11 to 1, but the Padres won the series, four games to two. After losing four games straight to the Pontland Beavers, who are currently leading the Coast League race, Sacramento came back $-1 and 5-1. Earl Porter, right- hander, outpitched the Beavers veteran submariner, Ad Liska, in the first game. The Oakland Acorns split their twin bill with the Hollywood Stars, dropping the first game, 8-1, then taking an extra- inning nighteap, 5 to 4. The Oaks captured the series, five games to one.

NOTE—From tiseto time, in this space, there will appear an article which we hopé will be of interest to our fellow Americans. | This is number forty-six of a series. SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP., NEW YORK It Shall Happen Here! | He was an office boy, before the war, in Schenley’s Cincinnati offices. Now he is a lieutenant in the Army. He expects to come back to Schenley, after the job in which he is presently engaged is finished. But you can wager all the tea that | was in China, that he won’t come back as an office boy. This young man has somothing};l:is Army experience has given him a post-graduate course, and both he and weare going to take advantage of the undoubted, new gualifica- tions he possesses. Yes, you will find him back at Schenley —soon, we hope. And when he comes back he will be tested for vocational aptitude, and then placed in a position where he can be happiest and where he can* continue to expand. Certainly in the past three or four years there has been a growing pessimism and, discouragement re- garding human progress. But of late we have visited with top ‘managements in a number of im- portant American industries and it is refreshing and encouraging to find that almost without exception these men are kindled with a sin- cere desire to restore human equi- Jibrium, which has been so badly dislocated by this latest and most devastating of all wars. And we have noted too that management realizes full well that loyalty and efficiency on the part of employees must be earned; that the welfare of workers is an important yard- stick for the measurement of true commercial success. Our first obligation, when peace comes again to the world, is to prove by deeds rather than words, to the lads and lasses who went to war, that selling apples on street corners will never be countenanced or repeated in America—ever again!

ONE MEMBER OF ALASKA SCOUTS Cpl. Raymond L, Conrad of Op- portunity, Wash,, a2 member of the famed Alaska Scouts, received the first Certificate of Commendable | service presented by Lt. Gen. D. E.

TEXTBOOK (OM, OPENS MEETING HRETHISA M, | Facing a job t roils around once every four years—the selection of new textbooks for use in Alaska's schocls—the Alaska Textbook Com- mission here this morning opened its first meeting since 1941. The three members of the Com- |mission are: James Ryan, Commis- !sioner of Education, who holds the chairman post; A. B. Phillips, Su- perintendent of Juneau Public Schocels, and Harold Roth, Superin- tendent of Schools at Seward. Also on hand for the meeting, to offer |what information regarding the 'products of their firms that the Commission may require, are the representatives of* four major text- | boek publishing companies: Ber- nard Hemp, Allyn-Bacon; John Beers, MacMillan Company; Ray Done, Houghten-Mifflin Company, | and Lynn Smith, Ginn & Co.
