Rowland Ralph Swap Herman Bakkon Esther McDonald o o 0 0 0 0 0 polar war is possible. On that sub- ject, I can have no opinion nor ¢an many persons have one. It in- volves highly technical knowledge of technical subjects. Our airforce technicians believe that polar war- fare is not only possible but likely. The layman may live to know ! which expert was right, but it may also be too late by that time. So, we must first decide whether we are in danger of a knockout fore we get such a blow. It would help if we did know precisely what Stalin and his associates are think- ing. Then we could formulate a policy more competently. For instance, Stalin wages a propaganda for peace. Peace is good; war is evil. Can we then say that we are opposed to peace? But what does he mean by peace? For |instance, if he is for peace, why does he build airplanes at a ratio that looks like 5 to 1 against us? | Why is he building long-range rock- ets, which can only be against us? Or for what purpose is the excessi' building of Schnorkel submarines? | So, we again are very tough queries: What does he {mean by peace? Does he not op- | erate peace as though it were war? | Does he not conquer territory in | time of peace as other nations con- quer territory in time of war? In a word, Stalin has stood the world on its head, and words, im- | ag ings. In fact, what we today call peace is actually war and shows | all the consequences of war. Our| arguments over Formosa, Korea, Bulgaria are merely moments in a | war situation. | Therefore the risks, calculated or | accidental, are war risks and are| enormous. Too lightly does thej arm-chair expert, pontificating | without knowledge, speak of Rus- | sia’s weaknesses and say that we| do not need to be ready for im- mediate warfare, even to antici-| pate its probability. He cannot knew. You cannot know. cannot know. And it will be too late to talk about it once there has been a knockout blow over the north pole. MASONS 1 Called Communication of Mt.

JAMBOREE OF BOY SCOUTS BEING PLANNED Alaska is joining with 545 state- side boy scout councils in sending an army of 40,000 American boys between the ages of 13 and 17 to the winter camping ground of Gen- eral George Washington at Valley Forge next summer. The President of the Aiaska Council has appointed a Jamboree Executive Committee of seven Alaska scout leaders to determine the policy and broad’ phases of the Alaska contingent’s participation in this second National Jamboree ot the boy scout organization. Curtis G. Shattuck of Juneau is chair- man, with Elmer E. Rasmuson of Anchorage, Philip A. Johnson of Fairbanks, Dr. Dwight L. Cramer of Ketchikan, Dr. James C. Ryan, George A. Parks, and Maurice F. Powers of Juneau combleting the! roster., This group has alrcady issued two bulletins to the Alaska scout field listing requirements and plans for Alaska scouts’ participation. It is anticipated that a minimum of 33 Alaska boys, with three volun- teer leaders will represent the 2128 members of Alaska scoating. The Committee is hoping to have one outstanding scout from each com- munity in Alaska as a part of the delegation. Already they have re- ceived applications from outstand- ing toy scouts in five towns, with these applications accompanied by substantial payments towards the over-all fee. “We are giving preference to boys who can show the Committee that they have earned all or a substan- tial part of their Jamboree fee,"i' chairman Shattuck said, “with the thought that greatest benefit from | participation in this unusual ex- perience will accrue to the boys and their families.” The chairman went on to point out, however, that the picked group of Alaska scouting’s lead boys would be a srlendid advertisement for the Territory and its schools, and that provision had been made for in- terested organizations to assist in the sponsorship of individual boys. The Alaska contingent will leave the Territory about June 15, going to Seattle where they will spend three days in a “shake-down” camp, learning to handle the spe- cial Jamtoree equipment which they will use, practicing cooking together, setting up tents, and or- ganizing the Alaska troop. From Seattle they will proceed across the United States, spending about a week or ten days making the trip, and stopping at points of chief interest for sightseeing and visiting historica) spots. Arriving at Valley Forge, they will camp together there for a week, in company with 40,000 other picked scouts from all over the nation, having the opportunity to visit throughout the camp, make friends, swap souvenirs, partici- pate in huge rallies and demonstra- tions and generally have the ex- perience of their lifetimes. After Valley Forge they will visit Washington, D.C., New York, Phila- delphia, and start the return trip, again spending a week or ten days to cross the continent. It is ex- pected that they will return to Alaska approximately one month irom the time they leave, although the details of their itinerary and stops have not been settled as yet. This is the first time in the history of Alaska scouting that a regular delegation from the Terri- tory has had the opportunity to participate in such a gathering, Shattuek said. At present the Jamboree committee is considering the applications of half a dozen men who have offered to accom- pany the group of Alaska lads on their history-making tour; their selections will be announced in a later release, the chairman said. SOROPTIMIST WELCOME PRESIDENT THORNE BACK AT MEETING ON FRIDAY President Alice Thorne was wel- comed back to Juneau by Sorop- timitsts at their regular luncheon meeting on the Baranof Terrace Friday noon. A colored picture that featured the beautiful scenery of Washington State’s apple-growing valleys was the entertainment of the meeting. Furnished by the local bureau of reclamation, the film had been prepared by the Washington State Apple Commission, Eckley Guerin showed the picture, and arrange- ments were made by Gertrude Wet- zel, program chairman, Mrs. Thorne, who had been in Seattle for several weeks due to the illness of her father, reported that he had improved, was home from the hospital and that she was glad to be back in Juneau where wea- ther was pleasant. o0 e 0 v s veo e TIDE TABLGE JANUARY 29 Low tide 4:13 am, High tide 10:21 a.m,, Low tide 5:23 p.m., 6.9 ft. 139 ft. 19 ft.
