Registrars Expect s2,OOO Eligible To
 Sign October 16
Persons to Be Deputized to Supervise District Work; All Help to Be Voluntary Assessors Busy Prepar-
 ing Property WilIIie May Parade Here
NAUGATUCK

Naugatuck, Oct. 3.-Preparations for registration of local men be- tween the ages of 21 and S6 on wednesday, October 16 are being made here now, Warden John J. Sheridan said today. This is in preparation for the draft.
 The warden said he expected the registrars of voters here would sup ervise the work and deputize per- sons who will superv:sc sn various districts.
 A large force of clerical help will be necessary here, the warden said. He estimates nearly 2,000 from Nau- gatuck will be required to register. He also estimates that one clerk will be able to handle an average of 30 registrants per day. There is a long list of questions to an- swer and 1t must be expected the registrants will have some questions of their own.
 All help will be voluntary, that is will not receive pay, the warden said. He plans to confer today with Superintendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden to see whether or not it will be possible to close the schools here that day so that teachers may be used in receiving the applications. If this is not possible, he will have to call for volunteer workers, the warden said,
 He plans to have the town hall clerks assist in the work during the day.
 Registration will be at the three polling places in the three wards, that is, first ward, borough court room; second ward, Goodyear hall, Odd Fellows building; third ward, Raytkwich,s restaurant, Bridge street. ~
 Ten-Hour Period
 The warden expects it will be a difficult task to handle all the registrations in one day, but it is necessary to do this in that time. He believes the registration period will be at least ten hours, if not longer.
 The warden stressed that there must not be a last-minute rush to register, that is most registrants should not wait until evening to registrar as this would probably overtax the capacity of the volun- teeY workers.
 He will contact industrial officials

FORTY YEARS IN THE YUKON

In the early days of the Kondike stampede Bennett was a big city, far population goes, for thousands of men and few women drawn from all quarters of the globe by the lure of gold made the Yukon Territory city a stopping-pace on their way into the Interior. Fired by tales of fabulous wealth these adventures eongregated at the head of Lake Bennett and there erected tent city where they built boats and scows to carry them to the Klondike goldfields which made Dawson the center of the richest and largest placer gold mining camp in the world.
 At Bennett "in the days that wuz' outside news papers sold for dollar each and were quickly snapped up even at that price
 It was under such ideal conditions that the Bennett Sun first made it's appearance and for time flourished But as boats and scows were com pleted their owners left and continued their jour ney until eventually Bennett entirely evacuated. And so it was that the Bennett Sun, like many passed quietly into oblivion.
 In 1900 the plant Of the Bennett Sun was re- moved to Waitehprse, which WAS destined to become the important connecting link between the end of the rail and the commencement of river navigation, and upon the ashes of the Bennett Sun was founded the Whtehorse Star, which this month is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

THE LIMITS OF AIR POWER

Until bombing planes used in hundreds in- stead of scores, shall not know with any assur what there is in the terrifying threat of aerial war, a threat which has accumulated through the years But in the meantime it is clear that air power as it has been used in Western Europe is not at all the overwhelming weapon most persons had be- heved.
 With minor exceptions, German air attacks on British naval stations have been dismal failures Their air bombardments of British fleet divisions have been even less successful accounting for nc major damage. Proving the point, British aerial operations against the German bases have been disappointing to the Admiralty. if one may infer their reaction from the confirmed accounts o damage done.
 This, of course, refers only to the western war not to Poland where bombers amazingly ef-

Sheep Pastures in Alaska
Seward Gateway


 Alaska has the largest sheep pasture" in North America-Umnak Island in the Aleutians. The flocks not long hence will be increased over the present 16 0O0 animals
 C. C. Eubank of Idaho and associates have gone on quietly raising sheep in Alaska; both ends of the island are going to be used. Wool to the amount of 1O3OOO pounds went out last year, sold at a profit
 Some men look for gold mines others for fish areas some for timber stands, and they find them in Alaska It happened that Eubank and his friends were out looking for sheep pasture" and they found that in Alaska also.
 Outside markets taking note of the Aleu- tian sheep ranges the fine wool brings good prices And now there is going to be wool. Sub stantial assurance that a great industry is in the making and all because men found sheep pas ture' in Alaska that suited them just right.
 Undoubtedly there other sheep pastures, y other opportunities for business development in Alaska All that seems to be necessary is for the right men and the pastures to get together and from all signs that is going to happen within the next few years and in big way at that
