KEEP THE FACTS IN MIND

No matter how great moral indignation may be at villainy of Nazi and Fascist dctators and no matter how much may depore the ruthless use of brute force to settle the issues in Europe not forget that to maintain independence and posi- ton as world power the United States faces a mighty task of immediately rearming and strength ening its national defenses
 This country possesses the smallest air fleet of any major power. No doubts the need of a frst-class aerial establishment and so the Presi- dent has called for the creation of a 50000-ship fleet. Today the United States has 5000 planes, 27OO in the Army and 2,300 in the Navy, 570 of which obsolescent
 Production must rapidly be stepped up to meet this requirement.. The American aviation industry faces $500 000000 backlog in orders for 5000 ships for domestic and Allied needs. It is turning out 400 planes a month This will be increased to 800 by September l and by the first of l94l stride of 15OoO ships year should be reached When it is realized that Germany today is producing more planes than the United States, Canada. Britain and France combined our need is apparent
 To keep step with increased production the Ad- ministraton has called for the training of 50,O00 pilots. There at present 10000 men in the Air Service The United States trains 2,400 pilots and 5000 mechanics a year. It is imperative that this shortage in personnel be overcome. The Gov ernment has appropriated $10Oooo000 for training.
 Americans have long been proud of their Navy. It is today the largest afloat and also the oldest We have 369 fighting craft of all descriptions, totalng 362 900 tons but 235 of the ships over-age No batteship has been built since 1921 While we are ahead in the number of cruisers, other powers are outbuildng Thus the $l3000o0 earmarked for the Navy is sorely needed for modernization and placements Because of it's geographical position the United States is largely dependent on the Navy for its defense. It is dangerous to neglect it.
 If all the Americans who have had any training in any branch of the armed forces were mustered this country would have only 8320O0 men, whom

TAkU GLACIER
 STILL MOVING
 RAPIDLY AHEAD

Taku Glacier is continuing it's rather rapid advance into tidewater, according to Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman, who has made a study of the glaciers movements over period of years and who wis., ited the face of the glacier on the vessel Forester.
 Heintzleman said that prior to 1884 he made annual photographic observations from fixed point on a spit in front of the glacier. Now the ice has advanced beyond this point, he found yesterday.
 Gov. and Mrs. Ernest Gruening were guests on the trip to the glac- fer Sunday. Others in the party were Miss Pearl Peterson and MT. and Mrs. Linn Forrest. They also visited Turner Lake.

Fur-trimmed coats have never
had more style or more regal ele-
gance than they have this fall.
The deft and ingenious manipula-
ton of furs for luxurious effects
have hot gone too far astray from
the simplicity motif, and designers
have tised great deal of fur
without sacrificing slim, smooth
silhouettes.
Trimmings range from narrow
landings of fur to wide fur hens,
sleeves made entirely of fur, or fur
vestee effects. But never in the
varied dAcoat picture does one get
the feeling that any coat is over
done,' so 'skilfully have they been
styledtoqOne simply chooses the
mode best suited to her type.
Collars range from small Peter
Pan styles to lavish modified shawl
types which fit snugly at the neck.

Pattern 129, that it can serve a
variety of purposes, according to
the fabric used. In tweed or
soft wooden, it becomes a smart
town and shopping frock; in gay

a longer, simmer look to the more
mature figure. It's a convenient
feature too, for in-a-jiffy dressing,
for flat-spread ironing, for simple
