They would do well to remember that as private business man he was instru- mental in moving industry from the north to the south = the very thing that has done more to hurt New England than any other devel- opment in recent years.
 "As a candidate touring New Eng land, MT. Willkie is talking glibly about providing jobs for all unem- ployed and helping small industry k. Even if MT. Willkie can perform the miracles he promises, they will be of little benefit to New England if he continues to move New Eng lands industries to the south"

GREAT DAY
 ON FRIDAY
 IN "B0WL''
Sports and Other Classy Events Pulled Off
 Successfully

The saying, Every dog must have his day" came true Friday after noon at the Evergreen Bowl when at least forty dogs had a chance to strut their stuff" according tc Director Harold F. Roth. Mickie Spike, Taffie, Bingo, Christina Sandy, Nick, Jep, Chekie, Rusty ano Skipper were only few of the many dogs and other pets entered in the big pet show.
 They didn't need pedigree tt win in "our" contest but it may help, seemed to be the decision oi the three judges, David Bernstein Arthur Anderson, school teacher from Bethel, Alaska, and Jim Bar rie, well known Juneauite.
 A large variety of pets Of al sizes and descriptions were entered varying from canaries to guinea pigs. In weight they varied from slightly under 200 pounds to SC little they would hardly tip the scales.
 At 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon the contestants lined up their en- tries and a parade was started at the tennis courts going around the ball diamond and ending on the stone wall near the Bowl office. The animals were lined up each in the care of it's master and the judges passed down the line making their decisions.
 About 300 persons were at the Bowl to see the events. Each dog was required to be held on a leash until the time came for the contest for the smartest pet. At that time they were released to be king for a day"
 The dogs showed up well for their young masters and mistresses in spite of the enticing stimulation of large audience, not to mention about 20 cats of all sizes and de- scriptions. The activities of the dogs varied from climbing ladder and sliding down the slide. to stand ing on their hind legs, tossing pieces of dog food off their noses and

tle-necks,' and they are numer- ous. There are arms, tents, planes shoes and uniforms. Let's just take the last.
 Only a few weeks ago, Gen George c. Marshal, Chief of Staff said: "The situation regarding uniforms is critical. If it should become necessary to mobilize the national guard at peace strength we would not have on hand the cloth to commence the manufac- ture of uniforms for the 85,00C additional men, I would say, foI possibly four or five months"
 Other army officials have esti- mated that the 25 firms now man. ufacturing uniform might turn out 10000 a week. If there were one uniform to a man and mo- body ever wore one out or slipped and ripped his brooches, it would take two years to get 100000 re- cruits into the trappings of war
 There are other problems to compulsory military training, you see, than just getting out the men but it's this last that you'll be writing your Congressman about il you have any convictions.

youD of all men between the ages of Is and 48. This would put about 25 ,OOO,O0O on the rolls. On the basis of World War experience, about S,0O00G0 of these would be found physically unfit for military service.
 That would leave potential army (hypothetically, of course there would have to be exemp- tions) of 17,0OO,OO0 men. Actual ly, strategists consider only men from 19 to 35 for combat purposes and in this group there are only about 12,000,000 men.
 From these rolls, then, would be drawn the men who would receive military training. Now, If we went into military training on the same basis that we went into armed force in the World War, we would have 4,800,000 men in training before 1942. That's pos sible, but it means the United States would have to turn itself into an even greater armed camp than it was in 1917 and 1918
 COULDN'T STAND THE CAFE
 From what I can gather, 1t is not the intention to put forward anything as drastic as that now. Our present defense program, even travelling full speed ahead couldn't stand the gaff.
 What is more likely is that a program will be worked out to draw from very narrow age limits, perhaps 19 to 2l or P, to put 100000 young men into train ing immediately.
