MIGHTY AIR BASE
Is FOR ANCHORAGE
DELEGATE Dimond Is Also
Seeking Fund for Base
at Dutch Harbor

WASHINGTON, Jan. st is an
ncunced today that the Army and
Navy have decided to speed CONVEX
sion of Alaska into one of the most
powerfully fortified areas in the
world.
Military circles revealed that the
Army will soon ask Congress for
authority to build a mighty air
base at Anchorage. While the navy
will push work on air bases at Ko-
diak and Sitka.
In addition Alaska's Delegate to
Congress, Anthony j. Dimond, told
the press correspondents that he in
tends to ask Congress to appropriate
funds for big naval base at Dutch
Harbor, on the island of Unalaska
only a few hundred miles from the
ASiatic mainland.
The Anchorage base, for which
an estimate of twelve million dol
lars is included in the 1941 Execu-
tive budget, with supplemental
army and navy bases at Hawaii and
San Diego, California, completing the
Northern apex of the nations de-
Tense chain and probably the major
point of attack if an Asiatic power
were to attempt to invade the North
American continent.
This is understood to be the rea-
son for accelerating defense estab-
lishments all along the Pacific from
tier.

(By Associated Press

A new victory is reported for the
Finnish forces. 1t is officially re-
ported that a second Division OF
invading troops have been practi-
cally wiped out and more than
1000 prisoners taken and also large
quantities of equipment.
An official communlque says the
Forty Fourth Russian Division, con-
tanning between $4,000 and 1900
men has been smashed in the Suo-
mussalmi sector A week ago the
Finnish forces annihilated the For
ty-Third Division of Soviets in
practically the same sector.
The Firms have captured 43 tanks
and 102 guns of various calibre.
In reporting Sundays fighting, the
Russian communique said a Fin
nish detachment has been repulsed
north of Lake Ladga but nothing
occurred elsewhere"
Cold Weather
Unusually cold Arctic weather has
proved increasingly effective as an
ally of Finland whose stubborn re-
sistance has permitted the Russian
invaders to take over only one and
forty -eighths of Finland's territory
in 40 days of fighting.
Reports are current that the So
Wet troops are digging in on the
karelian Isthumus, the main battle
front and this indicates that either
the Russians intend waiting until
Spring to launch another offesive
or are planning a drive farther north

Jean Taylor CrawIs 10 Safe
tyin Sunday Skating
Accident

Crashing through thin ice while
skating on Mendenhall Lake yes
terday afternoon, Herbert Mclean,
81, was drowned, and Jean Taylor,
10, narrowly escaped with her life.
The tragedy occurred at 2:20 o.
clock in the afternoon near the
river outlet to the lake, while sew
eral hundred Juneauites crowded
the ice to enjoy the first real skat-
ing of the winter under a clear
blue sky.
Miss Taylor, who crawled an es-
timated rs feet on her hands and
knees to safe ice after plunging
through. was rushed to town imnne-
diately by her brother Louis, in the
family car and was still in bed to-
day recovering from shock.
McLean's body was not recovered
for nearly two hours, although
young Henry Behrends, grocery
trucker for the B. M Behrends Co..
Inc. took off his skates and hero
ically plunged into the water with
a rope around his waist few min
utes after Miss Taylor and Nc
Lean had cried for help.
Behrends in Dive
Behrends said he dived "eight or
ten feet down" in the muddy ice
water seeking McLean's body, but
found nothing and was forced to
give up his hunt because of the
numbing cold of the water.
at was just like somebody grab
bing me-" Behrends said. Il could
ut stand it,"
Mis- Taylor, describing the acct
dent said she ard Mclean did not
realize how thin the ice was until
St staI ed cracking all around us.
We started to separate, but it was
too late and we went through"
IN telling her mother, Mrs. Ike
P. Taylor. Of her escape, Miss Tay-
lor said she got one leg up on the
ice" and remembered pushing on
something" with her other leg and
getting to her knees.
Crawls To Safety
While crawling, she began to get
to her feet, but young Behrends
warned her to keep crawling, which
she did.
Miss Taylor said she looked back
once and saw McLean's head out
of the water and he was telling her
ito hurry and get help" Another
time when she looked back, his head
and shoulders were out of water and
he appeared to be attempting to
crawl out on the ice, but when she
looked again only his head was Wis
ible, and when. finally she gained
safe ice and turned around to point
McLean's position to people answer
ing calls for help. she was gone"
Where the pair broke through,
skaters said the ice was but three
quarters or half inch thick, and
river current underneath was APP
parent.
Ralston Takes Charge
Chief of Police Dan Ralston who
was at the scene of the accident,
preparing to skate, took charge of
futile rescue efforts and recovery
of McLean's body, enlisting the aid
of several skaters and CCC boys
from the Montana Greek camp.
A skiff was found on the lake
shore and another was taken over
to the lake from the CCC camp.
At three o'clock, the emergency call
was sounded at the Fire Hall and
party of firemen hurried to the
scene with graphing hooks and res
piratory equipment.
At four o'clock in the afternoon,
an hour and forty minutes after the
accident. Firemen Rod Darnell,
Holly Triplette, Bill Rudolph and
George Shaw located McLean's body,

RURAL HOMEMAKERS WORK
OUT THEIR OWN PROGRAMS

Delaware homemakers who are
members IF home demonstration
clubs throughout the state are bus
lily engaged in club programs which
they themselves worked out last
year
Each year, the home demOnstra-
tiOn clubs plan ahead for their club
programs and projects in each cOun-
ty through the County Council of
home denomination clubs. Under
this system OF program and project
selection. club members are given
the opportunity to choose the work
in which they are most interested
and for which they feel there is the
greatest need
Last year. two methods of program
determination were followed. In Kent
county. the council members made a
survey of about 100 of the club mem
bers to get facts on what they thought
should be included in the program
These facts were then anlyzed and
formed the basis of projects for the
county. In the other two counties.
requests of club members we're test
ed against the three important OBJ
iectives in life-tO earn a living,
keep we'll. and to get along with
others. Requests that answered the
needs of the greatest number to
meet these objectives were selected
as the basis for a program in each
county.
Through this method OF finding
out just what the rural club women
want in the way of a program for
their organizations, Kent and Sus-
sex counties selected food and nu-
triton as the major project for this
year. New Castle county club lead
ers selected home furnishings as the
basis for their club program in 1910.
Clubs also selected minor projects.
The minor project in Kent county is
clothing; in Sussex county. home
management: and in New Castle
county, foods. Besides these. at least
one meeting on family relationships
has been requested by clubs in each
county

Feast Of the Pentacost.
The $4,000 church of Gothic ar

on a triangular lot at the corner OF
st. Charles avenue and Laurel
street. It was started about two
years ago when the capacity of the
small frame Catholic church, st.
Agnes-By- -The-Sea, on the board
walk, was found too small for the
increasing year-round attendance at
the resort. The new church has
seating capacity of $40 persons, 46O
in the main section and 80 in the
gallery.
The Rev. e. ]. Mccarthy, who has
been in charge of st. Agnes-By-The-
Sea, will be priest in charge Of st.
EdmOnd's Church, assisted during
the summer months by the Rev. Dan
iel M. Powers. Father Mccarthy
says the new church will have a

tory service for the structure will !
not be held until Sept. l. when Bish- +,
