Buenos Aires DipIom a Pays Visit 10 Juneau
 on Tour of U. 5.

Deep rooted is the German in- fluence throughout the South Am erican Republics, was the informa- tion advanced by pr. Emilio de Hcfmannsthal, who passed through Juneau last evening on the Prince George on a trip that has taken him almost 12,000 miles from his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 Dr. Hofmannsthal, member of the Academic Diplomatique Inter nationale and~a representative of the Interamerican Law Offic which has its branches all over the world, is on the last leg Of a trip through the United States, for the purpose of opening a chain of additional sub-branches, which will be operated in the capacity of in formation and publicity centers as well as offices of law, across the North American Continent.
 The purposes of these offices, stated Dr. Hofmannsthal, will be to facilitate the establishment of closer relationship between the South American countries and the United States.
 Need for Activity
 There is a great need for this type of activity at the present time as the entire Western Hemisphere will be forced to make plans for the future for it's trade and commerce from an interpretive view point stated Dr. Hofmannsthal.
 up to the start of the present European conflict the German in- fluence in South American coun- tries was growing steadily, due to the ingenious methods of propa- ganda used by the Nazis, and slowly the American interests were being squeezed out by the German organ izations that undersold Unit e c States products During all this time the Germans captured the good will of the South Americans

lationship between Alaska and Latin America are indeed doubS- full admitted Dr. Hofmannsthal, but the increase of South Amer ican tourist trade to Alaska could be facilitated by an extensive pub licity campaign"
 Dr. Hofmannsthal has been in the United States since January and will return to Buenos Aires late in the fall.

both wardens. We do three nights a week on duty which means that if there is a raid we are on duty at the Sector post from 8 pm. until 2 am. I was doing part time nursing but I was doing too much and had to stop for a time. Now I am just on emergency call for temporary assistance if needed.
 We've been having terribly cold weather but today has been our first warm summer day and after church Frank and I went up on the Heath and went to sleep in the sun and had our tea up there. It is marvellous how much better one feels for a bit of sunshine. We are both on duty tonight so we do not go to bed but stay in our uniforms ready to go out if there is gunfire or an alert.
 Keep Clothes On-NO Bed
 We used to go to an aunt's in the country sometimes for a quiet night, but now things are little quieter and we don't need it so much. During the autumn blitz we did not have our clothes off or go to bed for weeks, so then we really did call it a red letter day when we could go to bed" (Here Mrs. Joslin notes "see end of let ter'O.
 ' Tt seemed pretty awful at the time,' she continues, but it is wonderful how time deadens the effect. Just now the hours of dark ness are short and even when the long winter nights come again, do not think we can have anything worse than last winter. We do feel that whatever Jerry is doing up there above us, our boys are well and truly after them now, whereas before we felt rather help less.
 Same Old Moon
 T look at the moon sometimes at nights and think it is the same moon over you and wonder what it is like in your part of the world. One of our wardens is a doctors wife and comes from Australia, so we have some interesting talks in the midnight hours.
 My sister-in-law left to join her husband in South Africa, but her boat was torpedoed and she is now back home again. It was a very nasty experience but they were all saved though she lost everything she had. We were only too thank full that she was saved and think her belongings didn't matter much
 T haven't written much about the air raids or damage, because I don't think it would pass the censor and, anyway, you probably hear our news. There is a lot of damage. We've even had fair amount around us and we aren't too badly off, but there is still an amazing amount unharmed. And no matter how bad things are for short time, after heavy blitz things still keep going as nearly normal as possible"
 Ready for Raid
 In her note at the end of the let ter Mrs. Joslin says:
 Frank has just read this let ter and points out that some is very misleading so I will try to explain more clearly. At night in- stead of getting undressed and going to bed during the blitz last winter, we got into different clothes Something old and warm) and lay down on a camp bed down. stairs. One felt more ready to cope with any emergency. There were times when one couldn't sleep but

One County CCC Camp Included
In Those Ordered Closed

One Garrett county CCC camp, the
one located near Homecoming, was one
among the six camps in Maryland or
dered discontinued by the War Depart
ment as of November 1. These camps
are being closed because defense in
dustries are supplying jobs for CCC
enrollees faster than new men are en-
listing in the camps.
Twelve camps will remain open in
the State, including the one at Swal-
low Falls and the one at Meadow
Mountain. The camp near Homecoming
was being closed as it was not consid-
cred workable during the winter sea-
son.
CCC camps are designed to accom-
modate and work with $50 men. The
average enrolment Of the six camps
being abandoned was not more than
100 The total CCC enrolment in
Maryland is now something over 1000.
In 1885, when the CCC program was
at it's height the State enrolment was
nearly 5000, distributed among thir-
ty-three camps.
