THE SALVATION ARMY

The Salvation Army is called upon day after day
throughout the year to aid the unfortunate, relieve
distress and tide the helpless periods of adversely
Only once during the year does the Salvation Army
call upon us, and at that time all should answer

Next week the local corps once more makes its
annual appeal its maintenance drive to the citizens
of Juneau and Douglas and friends of the Army in
the community will support the drive this year as they
have supported it in the past.
The Army is doing its needed work here with the
spirit that characterizes that organization through

work is extremely modest 1t ought to be an easy mat

ROOM FOR JUNEAU TO GROW

Who will own the land which is to be dredged
up from the bottom of Gastineau Channel at Juneaus
new small boat harbor?
Approximately eight acres of future building lots
will be reclaimed by filling tidal land at the back OF
the harbor The City seeking to obtain title to this
Valuable area has obtained number of answers to
the question of ownership.
One opinion is that soon as the area is filled
1t becomes public land available for entry. Another,
supported by Col John c. H Lee of the Army en-
gineers and by George Parks of the Public Survey
office here is that the land will still belong to the
War Department as if it still lay under water as part
of Gastineau Channel.
If it is determined that the area will belong to
the War Department-and the City has sent inquiries
to Washington to find out-an intricate process Is
prescribed before title may rest with the City OF
Juneau The War Department will be asked to
transfer the land to the Department OF the Interior
which will be requested over to the General
Land Office which may be prevailed upon to open
Il for entry From there on, the City is safe. BY an
application already filed the City has first rights to
ownership if the land is opened to entry.
The Juneau Chamber of Commerce is as interest
ed as the Mayor Council in seeing that title rests
with the City. Chamber Committee, headed by
Allen Shattuck is assisting in bringing about the
$ transfer
great advantage of having the City owner
Is that title then may be transferred to individual
property hclders in fee simple which qualities the lots
for building under Federal Housing loans. Because
the rest of Juneaus waterfront not settled in
this orderly fashion, Federal loans may be obtained
even today for building In the downtown section.
The should become valuable home
building property which is sorely needed by the grow
ing community Eligibility to FILA loans would aid
UNNECESSARILY in promoting building there. 1t is te
be hoped that the City grope its way through the
maze of red tape and obtain title to Juneau's new
suburb.

War Destroys Nations
(Ciroi,,v,at1 Enpt,iror\

Louis XIV, the Grand Monarch, in September,
IT'S lay dying He called his grandson to him. the
little Dauphin who soon was to be Louis XIV, and
gave him this last advice:
avoid war as much possible, for it is the ruin
of nations. Do not follow the bad example l have
given you in this, for have gone to war too easily
and continued to fight through vanity.
Louis, when he counseed his heir. was n years
old. He had regned long and gloriousy. He had won
and lost and knew the exaltaton of victory and
the sting of defeat In the wisdom of his ripe age he
looked back and knew that war did not build up
natons-rather it destroyed them.
1t may be that Hitler and Mussolni read history
and are familiar with what Louis XIV said on his
deathbed Probably they would scorn any historical
reference from the Old Testament, but it might be
for the good their souls if they read what it said
about the real of the greatness Of King Solomon
The Scriptura record is
And he had peace on all sides about him. And
Judah and Israel dwet safely, every man under his
vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer
sheba, all the days of Solomon

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Civil
service appointments are described
by Samuel H. Ordway, jr., former
United States civil service commits
sioner, as blind dates"
In paper prepared for the civil
service assembly of the United
States and Canada, opening today,
Mr.. Ordway said that because of
uncertainty as to the time and type
of appointment which may result
from a civil service examination,
outstanding technical and profess
sional workers are not drawn to the
public service.
MIR. Ordway, a member of the
Federal Council Of Personnel Ad-
ministration, said he believed i'm
proved promotion techniques, in
service training and more adequate
financing of personnel activities
would be necessary for civil service
administrators Of the future If they
are to give evidence "that sound
public administration can preserve
democracy from bureaucracy and
show democracy to the world as the
most effective form of government
on earth"
G. Lyle Belsley, secretary-treas-
urer of the assembly, reported an
unprecedented increase in the
number of civil service agencies"
during the past several years, and
said that the improvement of per-
sonnel standards in the Federal
Government was being reflected in
State administration.
