prospective or actual benef1ciaries of
the old-age benefits provisions, who
want to know when they were-or will

Most of the Board of Education
queries are from persons born else
where who came here as children and
attended local schools. AS result the
nnice OF vital statistics does not know
their birth dates.
At least once a day, and sometimes
four or flve times according to Charles
B. Degges, secretary of the board, by
phone, by mail or in person, some one
from "old Oshkosh county, where they
take fellows word for how old he is"
wants to establish his age for social
security purposes, remembers he went
to school here at one time or another,
and wants little private sleuthing
done in the old enrolment records OF
the system.
The two flies in this particular oint-
ment, Degges explained, are finding out
when the people attended school and
then finding the correct records.
Most of the inquirers know only that
they went to school-when and where
they don't remember. There is nothing
left for the clerks to do but begin the
cross-examination. Do they recall any
event that happened while they we're
in school, the names of any teachers,
janitors? Who was President at the
time?
Sometimes this method gets some
where; more often not. When sue
cessful, however, the next step Is to
find the records.

MiroW Hits Rough Air Over Channel
 On Arrival Here
Is Flying Three Nome Pas sengers Through to
 Seattle

Hans Mirow, Nome aviator who landed at the Mendenhall airport yesterday afternoon, experienced the toughest air he has ever flown in over Juneau
 Spectators in Juneau's streets watched open-mouthed while Mi rows Sikorsky mphibian-"d duck -pivoted and twisted in vicious air currents.
 With Mirow, flying from Nome to Seattle, are three mining men, Fred Mebes, Louis Nashenwing and D. L. Friedman.
 Nashenwing operates a hydraulic placer on the lower reaches of the Kougarok River. He reports a good reason and plenty of water.
 Fred Mebes is a partner in the North Star Dredging Company at Council, near Nome He also has experienced a good season, operat- ing 3 foot bucket dredge, that was rebuilt this summer with new shall low draft hull that has permitted the company to work farther down the river channel As in most of the Kougarok country, Mebes' ground runs about 80 cents to the yard.
 Friedman claims he is just a "prospector. All four are stopping at the Gastineau Hotel and will fly on through to Seattle as soon as the weather will permit.

 Stuhr attended the October 4 con- ference of the State Department in Washington, D. C., with Alaskan Delegate A. J. Dimond, Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and many other notables.
 We agreed that treaty is out of the question" said Stuhr.
 Louis Mostad, who is accompany ing Harry Stuhr is the representa- tive of the Alaska Fishermens Un- ion in Seattle. He conferred with Washington State Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach four weeks ago.
 The Senator told the President on his recent trip to the Pacific Coast, that should nothing be done about the Japanese question in AL askan waters, and even to the tuna off California, labor would picket Japanese-cargo ships on November l5."
 The President, according to Mos-. tai, shrugged his shoulders.
 What can we do about it?" he said, seeking information.
 There is one thing of which Mos tad and Stuhr are certain.
 Japan must be boycotted.'

Lutheran Church
 Appeal Announced
Rev. F. s. Beistel, of Flu gene, Oregon, to Have
 Charge, Pac. NV.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 16.- The Board of American Missions | of the United Lutheran Church in America announced today through its office here that the Rev. F. s Beistel of Eugene, Ore, will have charge of the church's anniversary appeal in that area.
 The Rev. L. H. Steinhoff of Den- yer, Col, will assist him as a spec ial representative of the Mission Board.
 Through the anniversary appeal the Lutherans plan to increase their membership with a concentrated program of personal evangelism. A determined effort will be made to reach the millions of unchurched in the nation and through gifts from the members secure funds to broaden the scope of the church extension work
 Celebrates Anniversary
 The Appeal, according to the Rev. zenan M. Corbe, DID,, executive sec retary of the Mission Board, was determined upon at the last nation al convention of the UL.C.A. as the most appropriate way to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the organization of the church through the merger of three general Luther an bodies
 vast army of workers is being mobilized throughout the United States and Canada ta meet the spiritual and financial objectives of the anniversary appeal. An ambi- tiouS program of rallies, pageants and special services is being out lined for the Lutherants of the Pacific area.
 Charge Accepted
 The Rev. Dr. Beistel in a letter accepting the Mission Boards said that he welcomed the anniversary appeal as a God-giyen oppoltuiiiCy to reVltallze the Lu- theran church.
 "A concentrated, nationwide at- tempt to keep the church from the danger of being too casually &C., cepted by the existing memberships is of vital importance he said.
 Only by strengthening our mem bership within can We hope to &C., complish the primary object of Christianity-the winning of souls to Christi
 The new appointee's post is par tlcularly important in the anniver- sary appeal organization Dr. Corbe sald, in view of the fact that a | large. portion of the church exten- slon work being done by the Lu- 5heran Mission Board is centered at | present in his area.

 fSailor (Mermaid) Moran will tan gle with Ed Murphy, another slip perys middleweight glove tosser.
 Hank Bourlett and Sailor Frank will probably pair off in the welter- weight class. Both boys are "toff'' and play the game for what they can put into a punch.
 Juneau's well known and well liked Sammy Nelson will crab step across the ring in what may be a special event against heavyweieht Johnny Abbott from Chilkoot Bar racks.
 There will probably be eight bouts all told, all boxing, as the wrestling is to be saved for straight wrest- ling card in the near future. X This Big Boy" Erickson, who has brought so many nice press clip pings and such a nice array of rights and lefts to the Juneau mat circles will probably try to show off on I'd Heinz, but he may run into one or two there. Both are heavys. 4 There are two Filipino welter- Weights-you know the type-they lpok like they are throwing six gloves ihStead of two-and they're harder tb hit than a two-to-come straight flush.
