Something like . new economic

There are more than TOO function

Palestine. These cover production,

of these co-operatives are agricultural.
Eighty per cent Of the Jewish citrus

eratively. Irrigation projects, live
stock insurance and other special
fields are covered by co-operatives.

to do with the marketing Of any Of
its products. Like q hundred other

l asked the fine young man who was

There is no head to the colony, the
members decide everything in common
assembly, after supper. What about
lazy persons who do not bear their fair
share Of the load? Our guide shrugged
his shoulders, and implied that such
person Is impossible in the colony.

Dagania itself began to pay of its

An interesting and perhaps re-
assuring fact about the "kvutzas." or
communistic colonies. is that while
labor. income. distribution and family
life are on a collective basis-to the
extent that, when farm work is dull,
the workers 60 out and find urban
Jobs, turning all their wages into the
community fund-there is no political
propaganda. The colonists practice
communism, but do not preach il.
They are contented and happy in their
simple. fraternal way Of living. Men,

are simply sloughed OF.
No Interest in Religion.
Remarking that there was no syna-
gogue in Dasania, I inquired about
religion. Our guide. an idealistic
young German, told us that they were
not interested in religion. On the high
Jewish feast days they would celebrate
by lecture on cattle breeding or some
other farm problem and an open
forum would follow. The Sabbath i.

At Zionist headquarters in Jeru-

Our Dagania guide was frankly
puzzled when this talk was repeated.
OF course they milk the cows on the
Sabbath, and dispose Of the milk Just
as on other days. All this discussion
OF religion was plainly outside the
range of Dagania's interest. Inquiry
at other colonies revealed the same

Does Doc" Webb really hold an undyipg enmity toward referees and other white-clad officials who may wander within the ropes where he is digging for blood?
 Well-not exactly.

 Winning Thursday nights game proved too much for the Douglas Eagles who found the spark of bat tie lacking last night. Intermittently fighting, the Eagles let the DeMolays push through to victory without too much opposition. The DeMolay squad continued its successful prac- tice of following shots through, and ran up lead which the Islanders failed to endanger after the first few minutes of play.
 Nelson, Bayers and Pinckley were high point men for the DeMolay while Erskine was in there fighting to the tune of 15 points for Doug las. Stragier made two beautiful shots in the third quarter and for few minutes the Islander fans looked hopeful. but the final quar- ter failed to bring a strong Doug las rally and the game ended 46 to B.

 Out to Win
 Both games last night were marked by fast playing. The open ing tilt between the High School and Elks saw the Varsity Crimson Bears "out to win" but the Elks were in better shooting form and managed to clear their way to vic- tory despite determined opposition.
 Both sides were taken by surprise when Referee Bud Foster started the evening off by calling closer on fouls than ever before. High school rooters were soon bowling when foul after foul was called on the Bears, but the final tally showed almost an equal number for each team, Is fouls for the High School and IT for the ElkS.

Since it has come to attention, that some persons have been seen in dangerous proximity to the Alaska Juneau Mine work ings, we are taking this occasion to warn the public against near approach to the workings All the workings are on private property quite some distance from any public road; trespassers thereon are in danger from blast ing and from caving ground.
 Approaches to the workings have been posted with trespass notices but some notices may be covered with snow. Therefore, the public is warned, whether not they see notice, against going into the vicinity of the open pits or the extension thereof, particularly in the Icy Gulch area
 It is hoped that this warning will be heed ed by all, thereby making any trespass pro- ceedings unnecessary.
