The Ketchikan Chronicle use dan eight-column banner line “Juneau Promised Coast Guard Office,” The Ketchikan Chronicie used an eight-column “Juneau Is Selected as C. G. Headquarters.” Excerpts from the local story of the Ketchikan News are as follows: The U. S. Coast Guard has made an offer to establish he: arters the Alaska District at Juneau, provided that the City of Juneau will guar- | antee to previde a new office building with 14,000 square feet of floor space, living quarters for 25 or more families, and dock space, it has been learned by the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce. The decision to establish headquarters at Juneau was apparently made by Captain Alfred C. Richmond, Assistant Chief of the Planning and Control Staff of the U. S. Coast Guard, and members of a party which ‘ visited Alaska with him last summer. Ketchikan, it appears, from the information re- | ceived by the Chamber, was to have been by sed | except possibly as a second choice, in the event that Juneau fails to provide the required facil The information reached the Ketchikan Chamber as a bolt out of the blue since it had been presumed that Ketchikan had at léast an equal chance with Juneau for the headquarters.

The profound advantages which are entailed in the steady increase of literacy in this country are very likely to be overlooked by persons not con- cerned in the audministration of education. Literacy, however, is one of the most important advantages which civilized man can have over less-well-civilized races, or animals. And these advantages are not only cultural, economic and social but even military. At first the United States Army felt compelled to reject some of its best potential material because the men were not literate. Later special training was provided for them, but the illiterate soldier is a very limited asset in the modern science of war. Therefore any reckening of the future security of this nation should take into account the very nigh perccutage of literacy we enjoy over most other lands. Stupid soldiers may make good c:nunon fodder, but they achieve victories only at a grievously disproportionate expense in lives. Some day, we hope, the literacy of all the world will be raised to the point where the essentially un- civilized business of war will be relegated to the limbo. rters of a cent “Psychologists find that an e!ectrlc shock to the brain sharpens the intelligence.” Just poking a finger in the light socket makes one bright enough not to do It twice.—(Tacoma News-Tribune). distinction between the commercial plug and ratory on the air: If you decide to use the the republic won't totter—(Yakima Re- One ming out of Berlin show- right there in uh( Herald).

Paul, Ketchikan, was elected President by a unanimous vote at the Alaska Native Brotherhood Convention at Sitka. /|! \. “5 "‘.mr APDY w{m Wit = S Judge and Mrs. James chkersham were passengers south on the Queen.

Kibby Charles Otteson, President of the Alaska Dano Mines of Funter Bay, left on the Alaska for Seattle on a business trip. Northern Democrats hint- o on Mr. Luckey, wined-and-din- ed the country boy who never gave up. The Luckey story spelled victory for the Democrats in several other ways. Mexico rancher, virtually Roosevelt's election gave him a chance to borrow enough money from the Agriculture Department to market his cattle in California, and his subsequent financial recov- ery paralleled that of the country. | Gradually he built up his holdings, until today he markets in the neighborhood of 12,000 head of caitle a year from ranches sprawl- ed over Utah, California and Texas. He has just completed a $300,000 push-button cattle ding plant outside San Antonio. Asked why he plunged so heav- ily on the Democratic Party, Luckey say “The Democrats have to the Luckey famil shoot your banker w from.” The Luckey-Truman had an unusual origin year ago, Luckey heas sreak on the radio.
