CELEBRATING GOOD
CHRISTMAS WEEK

Christmas has been celebrated here
this year in good manner-much as
in former years. 1t has been week
of joy and cheerfulness. The services
at the church have been attended by
many and the sermons delivered by
Rev. o. III. Dyreborg have been much
appreciated - this being especially
true of his excellent sermon on Christ
mas morning when the meaning of
the day was dwelt upon and good
and thorough definition of real peace
was given. The singing of the mixed
chorus under the direction of Mrs. A.
Henriksen aided in making the SER
vices festive, the trees with their
many candles. and the large congre-
cations which gave volume to the
singing, all contributed to the hap
piness of the occasion
The good weather during the Christ
mas week has also aided much and
there was big turnout to the Christ
mas tree and programs both afternoon
and evening, Tuesday. In the af-
ternoon Mrs. v. S. Petersen enter
tanned with readings for the children
and also directed some singing by
girls. Santa Claus was there again
this year. Mrs. Henriksen again
directed the singing of the mixed
chorus both afternoon and evening
and the Sorensen sisters-Ellen and
entertained with duets on
mouth organs. They get lot of
music out of those little instruments.
HjaImar Petersen and Mrs. P. N. Fen
ger also entertained with violin and
piano music. Several songs we're
sung by the entire assemblage before
and while they marched around the
beautifully decorated tree, and follow
ing refreshments the evening was
rounded out with the playing of
games.
On Monday afternoon the singers
journeyed to the home of Rev. and
Mrs. Frede Stottrup where pleasant
time was spent in singing and listen
ing to a reading by Rev. Stottrup.
On account of illness Rev. Stottrup
was unable to attend the festivities
in the village. The Ladies' Aid adj
ded to the cheerfulness in a number
of homes where there was sickness
by giving flowers to those who were
confined to their homes. On Friday
and Saturday especially there was a
regular influx of young people to the
community-sons and daughters-who
came home to spend the holidays.
Many are the private parties and fam
lily reunions that have been held the
past few days and the festivities are
not over yet. It is week of joy
and will keep up till New Years day.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
resident American Society for Thrift

President American Society for Thrift
Most of us think of thrift as a
modest virtue through which people
save money, take care of their health
and try to employ their time to the
best advantage.
But how few of us think of it also
in terms of the great material pro-
gress going on all about us.
Because somebody Saved, more than
Sc, OOO, 900, 900 nnew buildings are be-
ing erected in the United States this
year. Because somebody saved, mil
lions upon millions of dollars worth
of new highway construction is going
on today all over this country. Some
body had to save to build our rail-
roads, to provide agricultural imple-
ments for our farmers, to construct
our electric light systems and power
plants, and build our rapid transit
lines.
These aspects of material progress
did not just grow of their own volition,
or come into being through the work.
ing of some magic force.
Through the slow, steady, system
attic saving of the people of this ma
ton all of this was made possible,
and all the material progress the
United States shall ever attain will be
based on this same patient thrift of
the people.
Let the people of this nation ever
cease to save and the result will be
immediate stagnation and eventful
ruin.
Thrift is not merely modest virtue
to be encouraged by happy phrases
and apt platitudes.
1t is tremendous necessity. It is
the foundation upon which the entire
structure of our national development
is built. Happily we are coming more
and more to a genuine appreciation
of it's serious Importance.

"X" TRUCKS TO PAY
LOWER LICENSE RATE
Continued from Page u

Several other makes of cars will
have reduced tax, due to the lower
F. o. B. prices. Older models will
be taxed on the basis of this years
price less 10 per cent for each year
of age, up to seven years. For in
stance, Chevrolet coach was taxed
$15.48 in 1927 and new one of the
present model will be taxed SLABS in
1928, but a 1927 coach will be taxed
only $12.S5 in 1928. The 1927 tax on
a new Whippet four coach was $16-
.6S, a new one in 1928 will pay SIS,
while 1927 model will pay $3.50.
New model Dodge four closed cars
pay from $2O52 to $23.4O, while last
year the tax ranged from $20.2S to
$3.50.
All cars over 1000 pounds are sub
ject to a $3.50 minimum and those
under 1000 pounds $1,000 minimum,
regardless of age.
The reduced truck rates, it is esti-
mated, will cause 100000 loss of
revenue to the State Highway fund.
This may be made up by increased
registration, but more cars mean a
heavier highway maintenance bill.
Secretary of State Mike Holm ex-
poets to send out plates promptly to
those making application in January,
but during the rush from Feb. to 15
applicants usually have to wait sew
eral weeks for their plates.

Morning Park Rides

LONDON, June 15.-The crown
worn by King George upon oc-

appointed guardians who are di
rectly responsible for its safety.
The first is the Lieutenant of
the Tower of London. This post
is always held by an army officer
of high rank and all the Crown
jewels. normally housed in the
Tower, are in his care.
The duty of the other official
is to attend and guard the Crown
whenever it is necessary to re-
move it from the Tower. He is
the holder of post of long stand
ing, and is called the Kings
Bargemaster. The duties of this
guardian date back to the days
when the Crown was invariably
carried by water along the River
Thames from the Tower to West

WORK ON PULP,
PAPER SURVEY
STARTS SOON
Preliminary Steps for De-
velopment Progressing
Well, Says Heintzleman

Before the end of this month
three engineers will be in the
field beginning preliminary in.
Yestigations of various phases of
the projected pulp and paper de.
velopment in the Juneau and Ket-
chikan districts, and by that time
George T. Cameron, accompanied
by Col. ID. c. lacking, will be
here to look over Thane, Annex
Creek, Salmon Creek, other local
properties. and Speel River.
This was made known today
by Asst. District Forester b. F
Heintzleman, who returned home
yesterday from San Francisco
where he was called to confer
with Mr.. Cameron and the zeller-
bach interests regarding the sea-
sons activities in connection with
their bids for Alaska pulp timber
lands.
Progress Is Satisfactory
Preliminary steps in the pulp
and paper development program
are progressing satisfactorily, :"
Mr.. Heintzleman said. Actual
work will be started this sum-
mer. Both of the projects tha.
have beep launched are of such
magnitude that necessarily their
consummation will not be brought
about as quickly as deals of lesser
magnitude could be handled. The
capital which must be invested
in the development must be fuf-
nished with complete data ON
every essential factor connected
with the industry. This means, OF
course, that detailed studies must
be made of local resources, in.
cluding timber supplies, wates-
power, plant sites and other
things.
Both of the bidders for our
timber offerings are completing
their plans for having satisfactory
