WELCOME PARTIES-MIRRORS OF A
NATION
The TWO KINDS
ed but Ruth claye." ruth
tBv BRUCE CATION

You can get an idea Of the kind of world
Europe has built for itself these days by
noticing Just what it is that nations show
to visiting dignitarieS when they want to
make an impression.
Admiral Horthy visits Germany, and
what does he see? Miles of warships, fleets
Of airplanes long ranks of soldiers; the
might of war, ready to swing into action
at the nod of dictator's head Having
seen, ne is duly impressed; no one else, APP
parently, had anything quite as fearsome
10 show him. And it is just possible that
the future history of Europe may-in part,
ut leaSt-swing on the impression which
these warlike little playthings made on the
boss of Hungary.
To say all of that is simply to say that
Europe today is a mad world, in which the
best energies and the most earnest think
ing Of the leaders of all the great nations
are devoted to that one Subject-war.
In happier time, no one would think
that the most important things which a
nation could display to an important Wis
itor We're its warships and its fighting men.
Instead, the natural impulse would be to
exhibit those things which showed how
well the cOuntry'S people were getting
along; the rich farmlands, the thriving
business houses, the great factories, the
universities and the scientific laboratories
and the treasure houses of art and litera-
ture: A country rich in such things would
be proud country; country which
lacked them would feel the lack keenly,
knowing that its citizens were not getting
as much of Il break as they ought to be
getting.
For the objects of national striving are,
after all, fairly simple. A government en-
lists to ensure its people decent chance at
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" !;
it is the instrument through which they
live together as social and economic unit,
and its one excuse for existence is that it
enables them to live in peace and security
while they try, each man according to his
talents. to win little happiness.
But in a world which lives under the
shadow of war that ceases to be true.
The well-being of the ordinary man is for
gotten then; whether he is getting fair
break in his pursuit of happiness ceases
10 be important All that matters is that
nothing be overlooked in the preparation
for war. And the ordinary man (who pays
the bills for the whole business) becomes
person who is used by his government,
rather than the person for whose sake the
government exists.
That is the kind of world Europe is to-
day. That is why Admiral Horthy looked
at ships and guns and planes, on his visit
to Germany. Those are the attributes by
which modern European nations are judg-
ed And as long as those things are the
most important things in Europe, the lot OF
the ordinary European will continue to be
unhappy.

FLORIDA CARS PREVALENT:

In our recent census we observed
that Florida cars seemed to be
more prevalent on our streets
than those from any other state,
but we left it to Mr.. Bowers OF
St Petersburg, to work out the
states Representations, which, ne
says, is approximately Is percent
of Florida counties. But let HIM
tell it:
Speaking Of visitors, here is one
for your personal:
In Florida the first number on
the auto license tag denotes the
county. So there is now, or has
been here during the time | have
been here, the following county
numbers noted, beginning with
No. and running .consecutivcIy
to %; then 27, rs, 20, 80, 81, "a,
sc, 81, SO, 80, 10, AZ, al, 40, l6,
80, "a, SO, 60 GO, GG, g., G6
There were numbers of which !
do not know the significance,
such as III, l12, 100, 1872, ia.
which is total Of 50 tags out OF
a grand total Of 6S counties in
No. !. Dade county (MiamD;
No. 2, Duval county Jackson
villc); No. 3. HillsborOugh CTam-
pa; No. /, Pinellas county
(Clearwater-St. Petersburg); No.
6, Broward county, give examples
Of how numbers run.
| have also seen cars from
Daytona Beach, Titusville, st.
Augustine, Ocala, Lakeland, Or
lando, New Port Richey, Gaines
vile, Lake Wales and Fort Myers
that had distinctive plates and
markers.
So, altogether, that is not so
bad for one state. Of course 1t
is barely possible that ] may have
missed few, but it is doubtful as
l almost invariably turn and look
for the tag number, more cspe-
cially when the cars have no front
tag. and as only two states have
no front tag, Viz, Mississippi and
Florida.
The task of checking the tags
was not so very arduous, and nat
urally being a booster for my
state and city, the task was
pleasure.
While I am about it, may say
that personally | think it would be
grand idea if your merchants
and business people would put
their business addresses on their
trucks and in their advertisements
instead of just Il certain phone
number.
Just a suggestion from a vlsi-
tor.

 Although details are withheld, pending further study, Chairman Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, reported he will be ready to disclose loan arrange ments within a week or ten days.
 Chairman Jones made his inten- ton known to Secretary of Con- merce Daniel c. Roper. The latter was host to GOO small business men at last weeks conference
 Speculation regaralng the propos- al ranged from mere continu- ance of the REC lending to a more elaborate system of new Federal credit agencies. Federal insurance and private loans to business.
 Usually well informed officials said they guessed the Administra- tion is not ready to do anything more drastic than an extended and possibly iberalized type of lending the REC has been doing for three years.

Interference Gets Condemn ed - Croakers Seen as
 Profitable Enterprise

Radio interference and frogs cen tered in the attention of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce this noon at it's weekly luncheon in Per- cy's Cafe. There was sentiment ex- pressed against the former and in favor of the latter.
 Pastor H. L. Wood, Chairman of the Radio Interference Investiga- tion committee, brought in a com plete report of the study. including report of City Radio Inspector Bill Hixson, in which the committee rec commended the Chamber sponsor movement to eliminate radio inter- ference in the community. It cited that high power lines and made quate equipment was largely re- sponsible for interference and rec commended that steps be taken. as it said were being taken in Ket- chikan, to have power lines removed from the streets and placed under ground
 Eight major causes of interter- ence outlined in the Hixson report and incorporated in the Chamber committees report were
 Alaska Juneau high power lines. Alaska Electric Light and Power Company lines. the U. s. Signal Corps setup, oil burners, improper house wiring, KINY interference cheap electrical equipment not properly filtered.
 The report is to be taken up at a meeting of the Executive Board of the Chamber next Wednesday.
 Charles GoIdstein, recently re- turned from Ketchikan, brought back a report that the raising of edible frogs in the Ketchikan area was proving successful and sug- gested an investigation toward that end be made here. He also included the suggestion that the stocking of some of the nearby lakes with bass and other fish be undertaken as some of them are now practically barren. President Charles w. Car ter named a committee of Curtis Shattuck, George w, Folta. John w Jones, Frank Dufresne and A. P.

 A feature of the entertainment program was a reading by Miss Eli zabeth Stewart, winner of one of the recent Reclamation events at t@e high school, which won warm approval
