 The allegiance of the un U Chamber of Commerce in the task of uniting the people of America was pledged to President Roosevelt today in a resolution passed unanimously at the Chamber meeting.

 WHEREAS, the first and para mount task of national leadership one transcending all others - is to bring about restore and foster and sustain a spirit of national unity among all the people; a spirit which will wipe out all selfish interests and ambitions, all prejudices, class and race consciousness and partisan ami mostly. a spirit which recognizes. that sacrifices will be required of all of us in the days which lie before us:
 NOW, THEREFORE,, recognizing the President as our President. as the President of all classes and fac tions, races and sects, political par ties and individuals throughout the land; as the national leader; as the head of the government of one of the only two wholly free countries in the world today, we pledge him our allegiance in the difficult and supremely important task which confrontS him of uniting all our people in a common cause to the end that our lives, our homes and our liberties may be preserved and that our form of government may not perish from the earth; and we command all other Americans to do likewise; and we extend to him our sincere and best wishes for successful administration during his ensuing term in office; and,
 BE TT RESOLVED, that copies of this Resolution be forwarded to the President, to Hon Ernest Gruen- ing. Governor of Alaska. and to Hon. A. J. Dimond, Delegate to Congress from Alaska.

Hitler's own newspaper is the

Natures Children
Chipping Sparrow
(Spizella passerina)
ella passerina)

I ously from the building. Too often,
alas, the infants are unable to ex-
tricate themselves from the hairs,
which are almost as strong as wire.
Yet we know that these horse
hairs are a major part of the build
ing material of every chippy nurs-
cry. The name chippy is, of course,
on account of the notes we hear
from the bird and the name little
house sparrow comes from the bird S
fondness for small houses and
crowded quarters.
Perhaps there are a few who do
not know the chippy by his field
marks, and confuse him with his
cousin, the field sparrow. Remem-
ber, chippy has black bill and a
grayish line over his eye and a brown
stripe running through it.
Investigation reveals this small
bird to be one of our most important
allies in keeping down the insect
tribe. The infants grow fat and
saucy on juicy caterpillars. When
the babies grow older they are able
consumers of weevils, beetles, ants,
wasps and bugs-a menu that is of
great satisfaction to both the birds
and the farmer.
Usually there are four babies.
Each infant is fed over four feed
ings an hour. Can you figure how
many trips during a 14-hour day the
parents are obliged to take in order
that the children may be satisfied?
AS many know, crab grass is a
menace to both garden and lawn.
Chippy and his gang are especially
fond of the seeds of this pest, and
do thorough job when it comes to
stripping the spikes of their seeds.
We find no mark against the chip
ping sparrow, and I am sure you will
be happy to welcome him to your
doOryard

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

Shipping sparrows are the most
sociably inclined birds of our door,
yard. They have for man only con-
fidence and the expectation of re-
celving friendships in return. Ma
turally all bird lovers respond to
such happy state of mind and look
forward to welcoming the chippies to
their premises.
Any creature with wide distribu-
ton collects several names. We
find this sparrow is known in some
localities by the name of social
bird. This is easily accounted for.
