Voice of New York By Louis Sobol

House with the famed Pavlowa. Now he con-
ducts classes and if you can gain admission you
will find him dressed in pajama coat and black
skin tights, leaping with the dancers, pounding
time with mutilated wooden baton, stamping
a sneakered foot that hits the floor with can
non-ball crash and yelling instructions in some
thing that sounds like Russian double-talk.
I AM, of course, doddering old fogey, who
insists upon shaking his head in tstsking

hoo raised over a pretty child just turned 18.
Newspapers, magazines, newsreels and street
gossip whuzz and buzz about Brenda Frazier,
and one of our sprightly tabloids even devoted
its lead editorial to the girls elaborate debut,
insisting the extravaganza involved was justified
for it put so much money into circulation.

Low-salaried workers are calico

that their attitude in regard to

YOUNG dancers of my acquaintance speak

Of organizations reaping benefits
from the Chest drives that each
dollar they receive is obtained

of coercion.
Unfortunately these boasts are
not true. Thousands, who can i'll
afford to do so, donate to the
Community Chest under duress
each year. Their pledges are trib-
utes to overzealous crusaders who
demand a donation, OR ELSE!

Says Boake Garter

Who has ever been told that Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounced his willingness to encourage trade and
commerce with Germany, but solely upon the
terms he laid down; and which terms, the Ger
mans replied, were economically impossible for
them to fulfill?
Who has ever been told that there have been
deliberate attempts in Washington to undermine
the usefulness and integrity of some of our rep
resentatives in foreign capitals, after they had
cabed reports which did not appeal to the world
savers brigade" in the State Department, or to
Mr.. Roosevelt in the White House?

people from that form of transportation for days
until the memory of the catastrophe is erased.
After sensational robbery kidnapping or bed

stores for locks and window-bars. Let deaths

recorded and bakers will tell you the demand is
curtailed for weeks.

Threatens Boycott

Into a hair dressing establish

silver fox skins around her neck.
She reminded the proprietor that
his shop was in her division" and
he had failed to report a 100 per
cent Chest enrolment. The en-
ployer said he did not have the
heart to ask the hard-pressed girls
working for him to contribute.
The Chest worker announced she
and her friends would boycott the
establishment, and she did.

THE armament program must and should 90
= ahead. If any one will stop and consider
just few minutes what happened to America
when the last war broke out, it will make him
realize how imperative this is.
It is put squarely up to Congress in this mes
sage, that if there are to be any reductions in
Government expenditures, the Congress must
decide where the cutting must take place and
they, of course, will take full responsibility for it,
1t is mighty easy to cut down in this world,
but the consequences often fatal if it is done
too quickly. Any person can throw a monkey
wrench in huge machine and stop it almost
instantly, but it takes weeks and even months
to repair the damage and have it running again
smoothly. Often the wreckage has been so
great that you have to scrap the whole machine
and start all over again.
When remembered Hitler's hysterical scream
ing voice over the radio and listened to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's speech, it made me realize
how much America has to be grateful for in
having such a wise and understanding man in
the White House during these troubled times.

full home. to outward appearances safe and well
kept but inside, working ceaselessly day and
night, the little termite ant is undermining and
weakening the whole structure. Suddenly one
day, without any warning. when you step into
your living room, the whole floor may cave in
on you and the apparently safe and beautiful
room falls through to the basement
This is what is troubling our country today. We
have the most beautiful home in all the world to
live in, but that home is being eaten into and
destroyed by the insidious Red propaganda that
works continuously, without mercy or pity, to

"a system of popular government. free enter

dom Of 1SOO0OOOO people is involved. and since
they have chosen representatives to guard their

of the Senate to investigate why we have no for

in complete confusion.
Furthermore. it is the sacred DUTY to deter
mine these facts:
What it is that we now possess economically,
financially, and socially.
What we need tc sustain the economy Of this
nation.
Where it may be obtained without risking in
volvement in war in Europe OF Asia.
What we should do to obtain these necessaries.

Cannery Deficit Exceeds Half Million, Says
 Annual Report

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 17.- The Alaska Packers Association, op- orator of a dozen Alaska salmon canneries and one on Puget Sound, reported in it's annual audited state ment today that 1888 operations re- suited in net loss of $521,520.
 President William Timson said:
 lowing to unreasonable demands made by labor organizations only five canneries could be operated during the year. I call attention to the company's tax bill totaling more than S10,000,000 in the last ten years in which the company made only $1,352,lO3 net profits.
 Marketing of canned salmon at low prices this year along with op- erations losses cut the surplus down to s4,131589 from $4,940,649.

PIONEER JUNEAU
 WOMAN DIES IN
 SEkTTLEA AT S6
Mrs. p. M. Mullen, Early Day Resident Here,
 Passes On

Word was received in Juneau to- day that Mrs P M. Mullen, pioneer resident of Juneau, passed away in Seattle yesterday at the age Of .86 years.
 Mrs. Mullen was the mother of U. F. Mullen, President of B. M. Behrends Bank, and resided in Juneau with her husband and daughter for many years.
 Coming to the North in the early 1900s, the Mullens went first to Rampant and then short time later to Juneau, where Mir Mullen died in 1916.
 Mrs. Mullen and her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Hebert, left Juneau in 1924 and have been living in Se- attle since.
 J. F. Mullen was in California at the time of his mothers death and is expected to arrive in Seat tie today.

Setting in the hearth of the Gold stein Building fire, the repository of valuable account records of the Ju- neau Medical and Dental Clinic were preserved from destruction by the heat resistant protection of the safe used by the firm.
 Pulled from the fire debris and opened, the receptacle gave up it's contents nj first class shape. The heavy 5l5 by foot steel box had evil dently hit a girder on 1t fall from the second story as there was hole punched in it but there was no great harm to contents due to this acci- dent.
 Built to prevent possible combus- tion of mflammable matter on the interior, this safe contained feature whereby moisture is released into the inside when great heat attacks the exterior.

MT. and Mrs. Jacob Lechner were playing at their home with their son, John, and Jacob Seeger, their opponents. John shuf- fled the deck and it was then cut.
