Latest information concerning progress of work on the Sitka Ma val Air Base is included in copy of the "Sitka Sentinel one of two mimeographed newspapers publish ed at Sitka. The article reads as follows:
 Over 50 local men have been employed by the contractors on the Sitka Naval Air Station site on Japanski Island, it was announced Monday by R. L. Dyer, personnel officer in charge of employment for the air base.
 According to Dyer, no difficulty has been experienced in getting men for work on the base when help is needed.
 No more men will be employed until Wednesday or Thursday, when additional workers will be required as clearing and leveling of the land proceeds on the is- land.
 Before the winter is over, about 35 acres of land must be cleared, leveled and prepared for the more advanced stages of construction. So far, clearing of land, rock work, and building of temporary ware house and tool room have been the main items of work on the is land.
 There will be some pile driving done in few weeks in order to provide dolphons and landing float for the camp ship Victoria which will be sent soon.
 AS long as good weather per ists, work on the air base will be pushed, Dyer said.
 Employment applications are still being accepted at the employ ment office in the Pyramid can nery bunkhouse. Workers are urged to list all of their qualifications on the blanks provided, so that no chance for employment of local men will be passed up.
 All of the 25 advance key men who came from Seattle on the North Sea last week are at pres ent housed in the bunkhouse, un- til other arrangements can be made by the men themselves.
 "A number of improvements have been made in the bunkhouse in order to make the accommodations more satisfactory"

Soviet Newspaper Charges Finnish Diplomat
 Urging Battle
RUSSIANS PROMISE
 HEEL" IF BLOCKED
Erkko Said by Moscow Or qan 10 Be in Position
 of Old Poland
fBy Associated Pressl

The Russian Communist party newspaper Pravda today termed the speech of Finnish Foreign Minister Elias Erkko an appeal for war, '' referring to his address made on Wednesday.
 Erkko had said Finland would help improve Leningrad's defensive position, but any guardianship which a foreign power might receive over Finland's territory must be re- garded as endangering Fin a n d S neutrality"
 The Pravda charges Erkko di- rectly threatens the Soviets, all though most foreign diplomats viewed the Finnish Ministers talks as conciliatory.
 Implying a threat of military might over Russia's negotiations with Finland, the Pravda declares, "The Soviet shall send to Hell any and all maneuvers" interfering with their aims.
 The attack of the Communist newspaper came as the Finnish dip lomatic delegation waited in Mos COW to resume talks with Russian officials in what had been inter- preted previously as at atmosphere of conciliation.
 "Erkko's present position is pre- cisely like that of former Polish Foreign Minister Bee, the Pravda asserted, giving rise to feelings the Finnish Soviet relations have reach ed a strained point.

GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY k
 HAPPINESS TALE
Don't Fight" Is Secret of GoIdsteins Mar
 ried Bliss

Tomorrow's Golden Wedding an- niversary of Juneau's most prom inent pioneer couple, MT and Mrs. Charles Goldstein, has every element required of story written in child hood and enduring love, happiness success and admirable position in the community.
 In the year 1883, when California itself was still struggling in from tier progress, Laura" and Char lie" sat across from each other nj their eighth grade schoolroom.
 That was the beginning of this courtship
 But let us see another picture. In 1885, when Juneau was only a few years named and the Klondike was not even thought of, Charles Goldstein arrived in Juneau with his father to join him in business where the I. Goldstein store now stands.
 Young Charles liked Alaska, saw future here, but felt something lacking. He returned to San Fran cisco. and on the 24th of Novem- Der, 1889, school days sweethearts Laura and Charles were married, just kids" but happy and hope full"
 In 1898, the Goldsteins returned to Juneau and young Charles Gold stein launched into business of his own with a general store where Krafft's Cabinet Shop now stands.
 A year and a half later he moved his business into the McGrath Build ing where Hollmann's Pharmacy does business today. After six years in that location. Goldstein moved to the opposite corner, bought the lease of Kaufmann Brothers ready to-wear two story business, then a year later bought the property it. self.
 In 1914, on that site, Charles Goldstein, sound ly established Alaskan business men, erected the Alaskan business man, erected the the Goldstein Building which was razed by fire this spring. It was Alaskas first building with eleva- tor and the first building of con- crete
 Today after February's disastrous blaze, four gaunt walls are all that remains of the once-magnificent structure, but Charles Goldbtein, who envies his wife's pep" is com pleting plans for rebuilding new Goldstein Building on the site of the old structure next spring.
 Tomorrow night the many friends the Goldsteins have made in Ju- neau will call between and II o'clock in the evening at the Gov ernor's Mansion to wish them con- tinued happiness and good health.
 Incidentally, the Goldstein's ad- vice to young married couples is don't fight-be good to each oth- er."
 And anyone will tell you the Goldsteins are as much in love to- day as they were in that San Fran cisco schoolhouse in 1883 when they first fell in love.
