 The Juneau Rotary Club branch of Bundles for Britain" is trying to make a small contribution to the cause of freedom We say "small cOntribu- ion," for the need is so great it seems almost be- yond our comprehension, and if we contribute to the full measure of our ability, to the point of sacrifice and beyond it will be too little.
 We have already sent one thousand dollars in cash to New York to be used to purchase surgical instruments, hospital and medical supplies and equipment for the sorely pressed, overcrowded, hospitals of London, nearly all of which have been bombed and burned and partially destroyed by Hit lers new methods of warfare where most of the casualties are among civilians; the aged and in- firm the women and children, the sick and the helpless Juneau has adopted as the object of it's contributions the Woolrich Memorial Hospital, which has been several times badly damaged by bombs with great loss of life and destruction of equipment, supplies and facilities.

ALASKA ADMINISTRATION

Cost of administration Of the functions Of the Alaska Territorial government remains the lowest of any governmental unit have ever heard Of The biennial report of Auditor Frank A. Boyle re- enphasizes this fact More than five million dollars worth of government in the past biennium was ad- ninistered st the low cost of four percent Educa- ton took 21 percent aid to municipalities l8 percent nrbc welfare and security (under which heading are grouped the Pioneers Home, Department of Public Welfare old age allowances relief of destitu- ton dependent children child welfare Department of Health construction and equipment of the Griffin Memorial Hospital at Kodiak, Sedovia Hospital miscellaneous relief hospital ndigent claims, rescue of lost persons unemployment compensation and Alaska Territorial Employment Service, including administration of all these) 37 percent, Territorial development IA percent, industrial development six nercant but administration only four percent of the total.
 Administrative functions included at this bargain rate were the entire cost of the offices of Governor Auditor Treasurer Attorney General, Territorial Boards legislative and election costs emergency ap proprations vital statistics enforcement Of the uouor law and various miscellaneous items.

land acquisition in progress al Charlestow Ind, where the du- Fonts are building a giant powder plant for the Government.
 Immediately adjoining this project the Army is buying up $500 acres for a rubber-bag factory. But this time Soil Conservation Service appraisers are handling the deal. They are ne- gotiating options without any charg- es for fancy and compound con- missions.
 Why the Soil Conservation Service, with it's staff of expert appraisers, was not used for the Jefferson Prov ing Grounds acquisition is mys- tery that still remains to be explain ed. In some circles it has been sug- gested that the fact that the Me- Cord contract was made before the November election might have some thing to do with it.

SCOUTS ARE PREP AIRED

In these times of anxiety and uncertainty any note that evokes the image of a better future Of more solid and intelligent society in the making IS welcome and gratifying.
 Such note is sounded by the national emer- 2ency program of the Boy Scouts of America, a uad plan for intensive service and training of ooys and young men.
 The scout motto is Be Prepared" In our past Scout activities have been correctly centered on nature lore and human helpfuness Now the Scouts extend their activity to prepare their function in nation that faces great problems and grave situations
 The Executive Board of the Scouts says this
 We are mobilizing American youth for service as contrasted with the mobilization of youth for purposes of destruction and conquest promoted by some European countries"
 Lord Baden Powell founder of the Scout move nent, who died month ago, once said
 The character of nation may be changed Tn a single generation through the training of youth.
 This has been proved in destructive and really snt-social sense by the youth movements of Ger many and Italy.
 It is necessary that the spirit, the energy and the devotion of our youth be, turned to the works of constructive patriotism to the establishment and maintenance of truly creative attihide-toward society.
 These qualities, in the free atmosphere of Amer ca can do more to preserve our liberties and to prevent the disintegration of democracy, than any panacea of government than any sermon, advice or wealth
 That the character of our nation is stronger today and will be ever more so in the future the result of the sound principles which Scouting has nculcated in generation of our youth, no one who has ever been Boy Scout or who has had one in his family will doubt. It is great movement. It should be encouraged in Juneau and everywhere

inc services of said Paul L. McCord in procuring such sale, preparing the deed or deeds, for the convey ance of such land, eliminating u'ie objections. and arranging for set tlement and closing of the trans action"
 This option, the Inspector Gen erals office has discovered, IS not the only document sellers are re- quired to sign, There is another document entitled Order
 The "Order" is an agreement mi- der which the seller of the land as signs to the Union Title Company the right to collect the Govern ment's check, and then subtract from the check a series of charges that go to make up the gross price which McCord reports to the Land Division
 These charges are taxes, tenants rights. Union Title fees, revenue stamps, other necessary expenses and a 6is percent commission 'of the total option price to Paul L. Me Cord for services provided by op tion." These "Orders" have caused much eyebrow-raising in the h. spector Generals office on seVera- counts.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-02-08

Title Company is charging the Gov ernment $55 for this title while De- partment of Agriculture records show that the cost of such document to the Government in Indiana over a period of years has been from $20 to $50, with the average around $35.
 Last, but far from least, is the item of McCordS commission, which is based not only on the cost Of the land, abstracting, taxes and revenue stamps, but apparently also on his own fee. In other words, he added his own commission into the price and then took 6l2 percent of the total
 That's the only way investigators can figure out the $l66 charge. And even then it doesn't come out exact ly. Six and one-half per cent of $2 526 is only $l64l9 Several hours of figuring left the Investigators still stumped.
 Several totals, however, have been definitely established, namely that the project will cost the Government around $3 100000, on which McCord's commission would be about $l95 ,000.

Best Textbook"
(seattle Post Intelligencer)

(Seattle Post -Intelligencer)
 An old but little recognized truth was uttered by the Rev Merlin J. Gufoyle, assistant chancellor of the San Francisco archdiocese when he told group of Catholic educators recently that your best text book is your daily newspaper
 The modern newspaper, in fact, is contemporane- ous, most comprehensive history. It is faithful portrait of the manners and aspect of our society it reflects cur aspirations, presents and analyses our problems, reveals temperament.
 Historians consider that their best sources are the letters and publications of the period they study The clay tablets of the Assyrans, the pamph- lets reports of the Stuart dynasty the gazettes of our colonial and Civil War eras, are the best Recommendation for study of those fascinating times-to cite only few A period that had no newspapers or their equivalent is historically an unknown period; that is why Xenophon Suetonius. Plutarch and Addison so important.

NO RECORD

One is the fact that the Land Dl- vision has no record of them. Pho tostatic copies of signed options are on file, but no trace of any Orders. The options show merely the gross purchase price, the amount of acre age and it's location-and that's all.
 For example: An option on tract known as the Wahlman Place states merely that 1t consists of l65 acres, at such and such a location, and the price to the Government is s14,00o. There is no breakdown of this sum, no indication Of what charges went to make it up. These are a secret between McCord, Gov all and the sellers.
 A possible clue to the nature of these charges is an Order in the hands of authorities covering the purchase Of another tract These items are as follows:
