TWO NAzI AIRCRAFT
 SHOT DOWN

 Machine Guns

LONDON. F7ep. 22.-Two Ger man warplanes were shot down by British fighters, the Air Ministry announced today as Nazi airmen raided Great Britain's east coast for the second time in three days, drawing machine gun fire from several little traWlers
 Trawlers are now equipped with machine guns and are able to fight back, giving form to the warning Winston Churchill issued that all British vessels plying the North Sea will henceforth be armed against German bombing and ma chine gunning.
 The Air Ministry said the planes shot down were losers in battles with British fighter planes, one oil the northeast coast and the other near Stabb's Head, Scotland.
 The two planes shot down today bring the total of German aircraft lost on British Isle raids to 50.

Is Quiet on
 Juneau Froni

Today IS a holiday in Juneau and it is quiet, in one respect.
 Federal, Territorial and City of fees are closed, as are banks and stores. The milkmen, miners, res taurant attaches, taxicab drivers and cocktail barmen, perhaps others, are on the jobs.
 So it is quiet.
 Not so quiet on the streets how ever, If one happens to be out. Tin cans go rattling down and once in while a hat goes swiftly by one, because the wind certain ly blows, at times and everybody hangs on. The waves are making merry along the waterfront and boatmen are on the watch to pre- vent any disaster.
 Even the schools are quiet. not page being turned
 But the sun is shining, not 8 bad day at that.
 Tomorrow it may be different with the exception of the wind which may increase in velocity.
