several local folks haven't quit

more than 100000 for Key

gress would seem to indicate that
somebody in Washington is
keeping this tight little isle in
mind. And since this is the first
time in a .coon's age this has hap
pened, there can't be much ques-
ton about who it is.
''The more one hears of what

seems that Kew West will become

 Greetings CCC

WASHINGTON - The 300,000 enrollees of the Civilian Conser- vation Corps were hailed by President Roosevelt in a mes sage as pioneers in the build ing of new order for American youth and for the conservation of our priceless national resourc- es." Through General G. C. Mar shall the members of the corps re ceived most sincere greetings from theri military compatriots of the Army of the United Stat es." They were reminded by their director, J. J. McEntee, that it's training and health pro grams had turned back into Am erican life more than 100000 young men better fitted. mental ly, manually and physically, to cope with present-day problems.
 President Roosevelt wrote:
 Tt is with sense of deep gratitude that the nation looks back upon the fine results that have Stemmed from the Civilian Conservation Corps program.
 You who are now in the corps and the more than two million others who have lived and work ed in the outdoor camps as en- rollees have been pioneers in the building of a new order for Am erican youth and for the conSer- Vation of our priceless national resources. You have strengthen ed the nation and improved your usefulness to your country and to yourselves"

Alaskan Soldiers Problems
Anchorage Times)

This is sure going to be an Army town"
 That was the remark of a cor ooral yesterday wh-n he read that about 1000 more infantry men are to arrive at Fort Richard son within the next few weeks.
 Yes, 1t is,' we responded, What would be your advice to the town? What should the town do about it?o
 The soldier didn't hesitate.
 T could tell you but you would It believe it. he said. The town should see that more recreation facilities are available. I mean good, wholesome places where a soldier can go without always being in danger of getting into trouble"
 Anchorage takes pride in its position as the most modern city in Alaska, has developed her businesses, recreational and spir- itual facilities to meet her needs over period of more than two decades. Now that the army has selected the city for the site of its most powerful northern de- fense post, the city must be Ire vamped' to meet the new needs.
 It is certain that any legitimate business that is econom:ca ly iound can and will be provided
 re. But the need must be ap- parent before proper develop nent can come. What better way 5 there than to hear the requests

U. S. Is Urged Help Stranded 4 Americans

President Roosev2lt and Sec retary of State Hull were asked to arrange some means by which the l.7O0 Americans still in Eng land could return soon to the United States.
 Lewis Israels, president of the newly formed Committee for stranded Americans in Britain, which held a demonstration re- gently in New York City, said: We have no hatred or complaint but we want the Americans strand d in Britain to be brought home. We want the repatriation of our sons."
 Fr Israels, a public account ant said that the 1,700 Americans could not get passage on the Man haitian when that ship made its last European voyage, although some were students who had stay ed on in Britain to rsceive de- grees from various English and Scottish universities.
 My son is in England and can't get home," Bernard Friedman, a member of the committee, re- marked but journalists, diplo- mats and business men travel around Euurop. as they like. If my son could get to Lisbon he'd be all right"

The Story
 Of The CCC

For several years there has been nerd for book that would give a vivid word picture of the amazing organization known as the CCC, an organization which has accomplished so much in Al aska. Now we have such book, written by the man who knows the subject best, the Director of the Civilian Conservation Corps, James J. McEntee. The book is entitled "Now They Are Men,
 It is both a fascinating and source book of information about the chain of 1,50O camps that dot every State and Territory. It is of equal interest to the youth who thinks he may wish to become a CCC enrolgze, to the business man who may want to employ some youths who have had CCC experience, to the student of pub lie affairs and to the general public.
 An important contribution of the CCC, particularly noteworthy at this time when the attention of the nation is concentrated on national defense, is the improve ment in the health of the more than 100000 men who have served in the Corps. A chapter describes the hardening, the mus cular development and the inn provement in condition of a CCC enrollee during his stay in camp.
 One quarter of all the boys who are enrolled in the CCC," writes McEntee, "are below the minimum acceptable weights for the Army. Nearly three-quarters Of all CCC boys are, at the time they are accepted, below the Standard weights that is, the " lghts which the Army regards as desirable. In a large number of cases this situation is due to prolonged undernourishment. Af ter ,hese youths have spent a year in a CCC camp, 1t is an en- tirely different story. Wh.n they leave the Corps to go home, only four percent of them-only one boy in 25--is below the minimum a eDtable weighs of the Army's S-"Eeon Gen r2l. who looks after the health of CCC boys.
 The book also contains a re- sure of the first days of the CCC, tlc reason for it's organization, de teii- of he Corps administration, life i1 camp, education and train iag of enrollees and interesting chapters on results of the CCC program, and it's future useful Ness.
 S3"iety has developed a num- Der of permanent institutions which hlep to build up its resist ane, against the inroads of war and depression such as the school the church, the welfare organ ization and others. There is now a new institution, only seven years old, which in this brief period of time has earned thu right to be added to this family of permanent American institu- tions which build up the strength and vigor of society. It is the Civilian Conservation Corps.
