C. E. Refrigerator
 Goes Through Flood
 But Again Operate,

On March 31 a group of young sters playing on the bank of the Chicopee River at Chicopee, Mass, saw a chromium refrigerator handle sticking from the mud. Investigating they found it to be the door handle of General Electric refrigerator.
 The boys told the power com pany, and little research disclosed that the buried machine was a six foot 1888 G. E. refrigerator which had been swept from a home five and a half miles away by the hur- rieane of September B 1888. It's stormy trip took it over four dams and left it completely submerged in silt, water, and ice throughout the entire fall and winter.
 The refrigerator was rescued and put on display in the power com pany's window. Without adjustment or repair it was found to be in per- feet condition, and it went right to work making ice cubes when plug ged into a socket.

AIRMAIL FOR ALASKA

Progress is fine, and we've always been for it. The airplane is wonderful invention Airma has speeded communication the world over But when fostering this comparatively means of transportation re- suits in actual slowing down of mail it's time to call halt
 A good deal of airmail has been reaching Juneau by way of a new route in Western Canada and the Yukon Territory. Mail leaves the United States at Great Falls, Montana is flown to Lethbridge and northwest to Whtehorse It is brought to Juneau by PA Electra.
 One Juneau businessman exhibited the other day letter which travelled by this route. It was mailed at Olympia, Washington, October IT. It was fin ally delivered in Juneau November g. In the mean time another letter from the same correspondent referring to the first letter mailed from Olympia october 26 Though it carried only three-cent stamp it was delivered here October 31. Armail took IS days. Regular steamer mail took six
 The trans Canada airmai service" to Juneau should either be stepped up to speed at least equal to that of regular mail it should be abandoned. There the further disadvantage that the institution of the may prejudice the chances of our getting direct arman service by way of Seattle and Ket- chikan.

AN ALASKAN CORRIDOR

One product of the neutrality debate in Congress was a suggestion by Senator Robert Reynolds that by way of showing her appreciation to this country England should arrange for Canada to cede the United States a strip of territory on which could be built highway linking the States and Alaska.
 The Senator thinks it only right, in view of Brtans unpaid debts for Canada to convey to us "a strip of land from Seattle through Vancouver and British Columbia northward to the Alaskan line say 50 or 100 miles wide Then we could go ahead in earnest and with enthusiasm with the construction of the great Pan-American highway"
 The highway, as Senator Reynolds visions it, would extend from Juneau southward through British Coum- bia and across the States into Mexico. It wouldn't stop there but would proceed west of the Yucatan country through Guatemala Costa Rica and Salvador to the Panama Canal
 We have spent a good deal of money on that enterprise Reynolds says but one thing that is holding us up in reference to the development of the northern portion of that highway is that we have not as yet able make satisfactory arrangements to the extent of building highway from Juneau south"
 The plan for United States acquisition of a strip Of Canada for the international highway is not impos- sble the Senator feels If England wants to liqui- date her war debts-and I know that she wants to-, because nobody would say England is dishonest"
 Readers are warned that Senator Reynolds is the clown of the Senate and that his advocating of some particular plan is about the best sign in the world that will come to nothing We neither praise nor condemn his suggestion for an Alaskan corridor but simply offer it for your amusement.
 There have been other suggestions like it. Sena- tor Lundeen of Minnesota for instance, proposed seriously that while England is in death struggle we should send Army and Navy to take the Baha- mas and other West Indian Islands belonging to Great Britain Now let show there is some red blood in us says Lundeen "These islands are all on our own American coasts they are really American islands We need them for naval bases, need them for air craft bases We do not want the Germans or anybody else to get them. Now is the time to acquire them"
 Throughout the debate it is interesting to note that ten times the abuse was heaped on England as was vented toward Germany. reader of the Con- gressional Record 100 years from now would gain ar entirely false impression of American sympathies 1T the present war. The opponents of embargo repea didn't have many valid arguments; so they viifiec England Happily the session is now closed and the Administrations neutrality bill is the law of the land

 The German Navy has clung more tenaclously to it's pre-Word War traditions than the Reichswehr has kept itself more aoof from the Nazi party and has lived for 20 years the shadow of those happier days when the high fleet of Admiral von Scheer was nearly match for Englands armada The bril- liant and daring exploit of Commander Prien and his submarine in sinking the Royal Oak at Scapa Flow is the product of that fighting tradition.
 Scapa Flow, in the Orkney Islands, happens to be the place where Germanys high seas fleet was scut- tied and sunk 1919 in pursuance of the Versailles Treaty. It also happens to be the most formidable naval base in the world, excepting only the American base at Pearl Harbor.
 Into that fortified harbor through mined waters and destroyer patrols, Commander Prien took his U- boat There in the graveyard of Admiral von Scheers fleet he fired series of torpedoes into British battle ship and sank it. Even more remarkable he brought his vessel out safely and returned to German port
 the history of naval warfare there is no better example of venturesome courage and technical skill than this It does not matter that most Americans are sympathetic to the Allied powers. They admire deeds of bravery in themselves And the English, al though they lost costly ship and nearly 800 men have not hesitated to speak their admiration for the U- boat action which adds a dramatic chapter to the chronicle of naval
 The British-those who feel more anger than sorrow after the disaster to the Royal Oak-are focusing their attention their Admiralty, rather than on the enemy. They asking, and very properly, why their great fleet can air attacks but cannot find security even in a fortified base 500 miles from German soil Perhaps the is that it just didn't occur to any Sea Lord that German submarine might ever prowl about in Scapa Flow

 Heart and Home: Although it is a promising day for making acquain- tances of the opposite sex, romance may be lacking Girls are likely to be flirtatious and even deceitful un- der this rule of the stars. This is an suspicious date for those who support families.
 Business Affairs: Retail trade should be brisk as the first rush of Christmas shopping begins. The coming holiday season will be mem orable for it's brilliancy and gener- osity It may be the last of the long established seasons of merriment and good fellowship, since the world is to undergo tremendous changes which alter customs and restrict old time Inequalities. The best use of each day should be sought by young and old alike.

Those who preach isolation from European conflict will be heard n strong opposition to certain plans discussed in Washington, D. c.
