THE STATE DEPARTMENT

The department is blessed, at
the moment, with a dual head
ache. On one hand the Nazis are
determined to remove every Amer
lean consulate on the European
continent. On the other hand, Nazi
consuls in this country are braz-
emily stirring up Fifth Column
troubles. If the Department kicks
out the offending Nazis, whose
ringleader is the notorious Fritz
Weidemann, in San Francisco, the
Nazis will retaliate. Gone would
be every listening post in Europe.
There'll be an explosion on this
matter, soon.

TR0LLER5 AGAIN URGE CLOSURE OF
 HERRING PLANTS
Resolution Demands Re- dulfion Plants Be Shut
 Down During 1941

United Trollers of Alaska, CIO, have gone on record again in oppo- sition to herring reduction plants and demand in a recently passed resolution that the Bureau of Fisheries not violate the 1940 regu- lations' again.
 The resolution holds that the Bureau violated 1940 seasonal regu- lations prohibiting reduction herr ing fishing in Southeast Alaska "by permitting one herring reduc- tion plant and five herring seine boats to operate in the Southeast Alaska District"
 Trollers state it has been def initely shown by the troll and herr ing fishermen" that Southeast AL aska has been depleted of herring and troll salmon no longer enter the districts and that trollers and halibuters have suffered a short age in securing herring for bait purposes.
 Complete shutdown of herring reduction plants in 1941 in South east Alaska is requested by the res olution, which is signed by J. Pentilla, w. Otis, A. Rosness, G. Harju, H. Jones, c. Helsing and c. Hellonen.

BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth

as we were chatting together
THAT is the most eccentric clock
that 1 ever knew"
What's the matter with it ?" he
asked. I saw that he was inter-
ested.
THAT is something 1 can't figure
out" L went on, It's a mystery
1t just won't go. I wind it, set it,
start it going, and within four min
utes it just stops!"
i We'll, there must be something
the matter with it." he smiled.
''I'll say there is, but not the way
you think. The other day, how
ever, I gave it a push along the
shelf and what do you suppose hap
pened? ?"
He looked up at the ceiling and
then at me. TT started to run ?''
he laughed.
THAT very next morning." 1
went on, Just after I got awake, I
heard its gong sounding. I could
hardly believe it. That old clock
is running againp I exclaimed to
myself. L counted the strokes. It
struck eleven o'clock. 1 looked at
my watch. It was five fifteen"
We'll, why don't you set it so it
will strike the right hour" he sug-
gested.
That's just it. If SO much as
touch that old clock, it will stop
plum dead again! It's queer that
way"
Wants to have its own way,
eh?"
"Yes, and tell its own time five
or six hours off, It's been running
four days now but it doesn't mean
anything"
That makes me thinkn' my
friend exclaimed. I've met some
men like that, they eat, work and
sleep, and do it all over again, day
after day, but, as you say, it
doesn't mean anything that i, to

pavements have been conducted
during the past winter by the
National Safety Council, the
Iowa Engineering Experiment
Station, the University of Mich
igan and others. As a result of
these tests and similar ones
now under way, engineers are
developing methods of ice con-
troll that will place winter driv-
ing on much safer basis in the
future. The effectiveness of tire
chains, skidproofng icy pave
ments with sand or cinders, and
means of removing ice where
possible are included in the
projects.
The Iowa experiments re
vealed, along with other sig
nificant data, that the distance
required to stop motor vehi-
Gle on icy pavement can be cut
in half by spreading a thin coat
of calcium chloride treated sand
or cinders over the icy surface.
The calcium chloride treatment
was found necessary to melt the
Smyrna times., 1940-01-11

sand or cinders into the ice, as
otherwise the dry materials are
easily whisked off the road by
traffic and wind.
While skidproofng treatment
of icy highways decreases the
possibility of accidents, the
measure must be looked upon
as a means to accident pre-
vention and not a cure. Along
this line, note of caution is
sounded by the National Safety
Council in stating, "In the final
analysis, good, old fashioned.
careful, common sense driving
is the best antidote for slzidding
and accidents on icy roads,"
Engineers and highway off,
cials are extending ice control
measures as fast and far as pos
sible to reduce the hazards of
winter driving but the cause
of safety will always depend to
a large extent upon the head
work of the individual driver.
