reason. He himself had been wish

French Guiana

French Guiana is located at the northeast extremity of the conti- nent of South America. It Is bound ed on the west by Dutch Guiana, the river Maronl marking the boundary. The Atlantic ocean is the north boundary, and the Re- public of Brazil bounds the country on the east and south. The east ern boundary line is along the Oyapock river, and the southern boundary line is along the crest of the Tumrcumah mountains. The area of French Guiana is 34.740 square miles, about one-third the size of France. A great portion of the inland territory Is covered by swamps and impenetrable jungle. Free residents of the country for many years have protested to au- thorities in France against the continuance of the Devils Island prison in Guiana. It Is their con- tention that the prison labor avail able to them Is worthless, and that most of the convlcts in exile after completing their sentences become public charges, either through i'll health or indolence.

National Holidays

Contrary to the common impress sion, there are no legal national hol. idays in the United States-not even the Fourth of July. The legal holidays, says Literary Digest, are fixed by the statutes of the several states, and these holidays are not altogether uniform. The annual proclamation of the President call. ing for the observance of Thanks giving day is actually effective only in the District of Columbia, but is observed by common consent by all states upon proclamations by the respective governors. Other holl. days observed by all states are New Years day, Washington's birthday, Independence day, Labor day, and Christmas.

THROUGH A .mans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON
ONLY WITH THE YOUNG

THE only faith and idealism l there is left in the world, a well. known minister said tie other day Is that of. youth.
 We are living in an age when men and women question everything and suspect everyone, he said. The only faith left, from faith In. God down to belief in other human be- ings, Is with the young.
 Then three cheers for youth!
 Three cheers for the child who asked, when his mother admon- ished him to count the change lest the man cheat him: "But why should the man cheat me?"
 Three cheers for the young who take others on their own terms and believe they mean what they say.
 Three cheers for youth that frank. ly does not question the aims md motives of those who offer friend. ship, that Is spontaneous in its af. lection and its royalties.
 Three cheers for youth that lives with an ideal, that sees in every thing the good, the beautiful, the true.
 Three cheers for youth, that has faith, that believes, that fights for what 1t believes.
 There is disappointment in store, of course, and disillusionment, for that bright and shining youth. But youth has strength to fight all these and come out on top flying the cOlors of the ideal For if belief and faith are worth anything, they are strong enough to fight the threat of the flaws and the imperfections to engulf them.
 For youth Is strength. And be- lief and faith are youth-regardless of one's calendar age.

LECION'S PLAY
 LOT IS NEARLY
 READY FOR USE
When Completed in May Area to Nave Baseball
 Diamond, Sand Shed

One of the principle aims of the American Legion is to provide proper and safe recreation oppor- tunities for the youth of America. Juneau's Afford John Bradford Post No. 4 isn't forgetting that maxim: in fact recent development of the vacant lot on the corner of Second Street and Franklin Avenue indicates that this city's Legionnaires are alive to their duty to the younger generation.
 The lot, leased last year to the Post by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company for $1 a year, will soon be a mecca for boys and girls. At least that's the ambi- tious plan of the Legion's Play ground committee, headed by Past Commander w. E. Hendrickson.
 Hendrickson, today, outlined the plan.
 Here's Plan
 Recently, through the aid of an Alaska Emergency Relief Admins tration crew and through the aid of municipal labor and trucks furnished through the courtesy of Mayor I. Goldstein, the lot was lev elled and covered with sand.
 But the plan goes much further than that If solicitation of funds, now under way, is a success, by the middle of May a model play ground, with many facilities, will be in operation.
 First of all, it is planned to con- struct a sand playshed, 20 feet square, for use of tiny tots. This shed will have a roof and half sides to keep out rain. Plans al ready have been drawn and sue cess of the fund drive will put car penters to work and send in lum- Der orders.
 Diamond Due
 Then, a small baseball diamond will be laid out. This diamond, Hendrickson expained, will be more of a success because the smaller children will be taken care of in their own playshed. Another ac- tivity will be added when an out door handball court is provided.
 It will be necessary to Legion naires to aid in the development of the project, Hendrickson saio, but when finished "it will be a source of pride to the city"
