NO DOLE IN ENGLAND

The American Federationist quotes
Tom Johnson, labor member of the
British house of commons, as saying
"There is no dole for unemployed in
Great Britain"
The Britisher denounced the term
"dole" as a gross misrepresentation
of the unemployment scheme in Great
Britain.
"There is no DOLE" he insisted
"There is an insurance to which every
workman is compelled by law to con-
tribute weekly When, through unem.

 This should be an inspiration for the young men of this country. Advancement is just as rapid and no more difficult than it is in any other field of endeavor. Hard work and study alone will make the grade. So-called pull means nothing and can mean nothing when the responsibilities of large transatlantic liner are his.

Harold Smith, Wellman Holbrook and Capt. G. H. Peterson of the U. s.

Most of the home sites which were surveyed, have al- ready been applied for, it was said at the Forest Service office.
 These sites are five acre tracts which, are taken over according to the Homesite Act of 1927. In the regulations it is specified that a bonafide residence must be main tained on the homesite. Since the act went into effect 124 applicants have been received at the Forest Service office here, and while many of them were from Juneau resi- dents, the majority were from out of-town people.

 The turning point in the life of a sailor is when he becomes a jun for officer. I remember when l bridged the gap I thought I had achieved a great triumph. Per haps you remember how you felt when you graduated from college and you were ready for your voca- ton, ready to overcome every ob- stacle and were certain of suc- cessful career
 There is a slight difference be- tween becoming a junior officer and going out into the world after graduating from college. An off cer has a uniform. There may be very little gold on it, but never . theless it is an inspiration to the wearer. At any rate, he has a job. A college man has to seek his.
 Making the grade of junior of ficer is, like any other step of ad- vancement. An examination must be passed. His duties, of course are on the bridge. He is now in direct contact with his superior of- ficers and captain A promotion depends on the individual. He must have a good education for g

The Lamp committee were requested to make arrange ments for awarding of the lamp, now in the possession of the PIT, A.
 The purpose and nature of the school exhibition was explained by Supt. Chapman. Each room is to have it's own exhibit. The bulk of which will be featured in the grade work where a better oppor- tunity to prepare material is avail able, High school work will be displayed in the home economics and English rooms. At the door a register will be provided in order that every visitor may sign his name. Refreshments will be serv- ed by the Home Economies Depart ment, free of charge

 This is quickly determined by the other officers that work with him. The work of a new junior officer iS closely supervised. He is permitted to give few orders and must stand watch. After a short period of time, if he is capable, he remains in the position, but if not he falls by the wayside. This Sneans returning to the ranks Few men will accept demotion be- cause of his pride and ofttimes the young officer abandons the sea if he finds he is not qualified to go up the ladder.
 If he remains ne continues his studies and is alert so that he reaches the pinnacle of his success that of being a captain. Supreme command of ship IS the nope oI every seafaring man. It has often been said that if man taken from the ranks is given authority his true colors will come to the fore. Some men become abusive: others can issue orders in pleasant man. .ner and obtain the confidence and cooperation of every one with whom they come in contact.
