One of the lessons which the
little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows learn very
early in life is to act instantly in
time of danger. If they didn't do
this few of them would live long
right thing without stopping to
think about it. Now there are two
things which Peter Rabbit may do
in time of sudden danger One is
to sit perfectly still and the other
is to jump and run with all his
might. Sometimes one is the wise
thing to do, and sometimes the
other.
When Peter had first seen that
shadow drifting past his hiding
place in the Green Forest, of which
you already know, he had done the
wise thing; he had sat perfectly
still. He hadn't moved so much as
one of his whiskers. So Hooty the
Owl had flown past without ever
suspecting that Peter was there.
Peter had sat perfectly still for
long, long time, so long that he
felt sure that all was safe, and
finally decided to go on his way
He poked his head out from under
the hemlock branch and looked TINS
way and that way. No danger was
to be seen. Peter started to hop,
and lust at that very instant a
terrible voice rang through the
Green Forest. 1t was the hunting
call of Hooty the Owl, and 1t came
from the top of tall tree close
at hand.
It was so sudden and so unexpect-
ed that Peter. who had already
started to hop, gave a mighty jump
which landed him right out In the
moonlight. It was for just such
purpose as this that Hooty the Owl
had hooted. He knows just how
terrible his voice sounds, and he
knows that it is very apt so to startle
little people in feathers and fur who
NAV be near that they will move
without meaning to. If they do, his
wonderful ears are almost sure to
hear them, and then his wonderful
eyes find them.
If Peter had been still sitting
under that hemlock branch he prob
ably would not have moved, but,
having started out. that sudden ter
rible sound made his jump still
farther. The instant Peter appeared
in the moonlight Hooty the Owl
sailed out from the top of the tall
tree where he had been sitting, his
great claws reaching down to seize
Peter. Peter didn't have to turn his
head to see Hooty coming for him.
You know Peters eyes are so placed
that he can see behind him as he
runs. He didn't hesitate the least
part of a second Just beyond him
was a great pile of brush where in
some great wind several trees had
been blown over and had fallen to-
gether. With great jumps Peter
started straight for this. He was
jumping for his life. Just as the
shadow of Hooty swept over him
he made one last, long jump and
dived underneath that pile of brush.
Hooty's great claws closed on
nothing.

Two humping victories by the Crimson Bears and Juneau Bremen last night gave a crowd of roaring fans an idea of what to expect when the regular Channel League season opens Monday night.
 The Bremen romped off with the opener, trouncing the visiting Eagles from Douglas, 58-23, while the high school quintet took the nightcap from the Elks, 42-18.
 Both victories were won from sheerly outclassed opponents, neith- CT the Elks nor the Eagles having the substitutes and experienced vet erans. Unless player swamps are arranged or Christmas comes early to the weaker teams, last nights games would indicate one-sided hoop season this year.
 Giving flashing evidence of long practice and carefully set plays, the Firemen swept down the floor every time the leather came their way, using quick flat passes that shot right past the peaks of the scrim- maging Eagles. Eagle checking was haphazard and the Bremen didn't have glue on their fingers, either. The zig gag attack had the Eagles on their knees at the half, 34-8 after first quarter in which the Douglas lads sank only one field goal and a foul shot against the Firemen's IT points. The third quarter ended 48-16.
 Elmer Lindstrom racked up l3 points for the Bremen as high man, with Jack McDaniels only two points behind him.
 It was the same old story with the Crimson Bears-plenty of practice and eamwork--while at least one of the Elks didn't know the names of his teammates Johnny Bavard and Bob Shell alternated as the spearhead of the high school attack with Shell totaling 12 points to edge Bavard out of scoring honors by one point. Jack Newmarket, whose foul shot ability put the casaba through the twine three times, proved equal ly agile with his hips and shoulders and found himself elected from the game on personals in the third quar- ter. Referee Dell Krulikoski, Signal Corps operator, laid the whistle on thick and strong to keep the game well paced.
 The box score:

kETCHIkAN, 5ITkA SCHOOLS AWARDED GOVERNMENT GRANT
President Signs Allofments for New. Buildings in
 Two Alaska Cifies

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29-Among PWA allotments for defense areas approved by President Roosevelt yesterday were two tentative financ- ing offers for Alaska school systems.
 One grant, for Ketchikan school facilities, offers $75,585, with ap- plicants for the grant to supply an additional $49.50O to complete contemplated work there.
 Larger was the grant of s128,OO0 for Sitka school facilities, to be supplied through federal con- struction contract.
 Asked regarding the projects, Commissioner of Education James Ryan said here today that both projects are for new school build- ings. In the case of Ketchikan, he said, the project is being sponsored by the city school system and the matching funds must come from the First City.

pitkpoeket Caught;
 Eyes Went Batk

NEW YORK, Nov. 29-Policewo- men Josephine Freer and Mary Graham observed an aged but still dexterous pickpocket lift Wo- mans purse in department store.
 What trapped him was that he had to stop to put on his glasses to inspect the contents.
 Even so, he gave further proof of his agility by dashing down an up" escalator and was caught only after scuffle in which police woman Freers freshly -manicured fingernails were torn to shreds.

ALEXANDRIA GOES GA.GA
 AT PRESENT I
AP FEATURE SERVICE

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Nov. 2t Not since the lush days of World War l has this ancient city-Egypt' $ second capital'-seen such mad spending, such dizzily soarin g prices, such roaring night life.
 The tens of thousands of dol lars that pour daily from the pockets of British seamen off warships based here have swol- len the cash boxes of theartes, restaurants, hotels and night clubs to bursting. Axis bombing Of the battleships in the harbor, the rigidly enforced blackOut and the fact that Alexandria, like all Egypt, is under martial law have failed to curb the speeding spree.
 More westernized than Cairo, Alexandria does most things Amer ican style. Men and women wear American clothes, drink American beer, smoke American and Eng fish cigarets and the movies are almost exclusively American with French subtitles and a special screen alongside flashing titles in Arabic and Greek.
 Local brewerieS couldn't meet the demand of British armed forces for beer so dealers get their beer off ships from New York. It IS the main source of profit for cafe owners.
 Food prices mount almost daily despite government warnings and severe penalties for profiteers. The government has requisitioned all wheat supplies in it's drive against food speculators. The average lunch in an Alexandria restaurant costs 30 piastres or roughly S1.20 as compared with Is piastres a year ago. There have been corresponding rises in break fast and dinner prices. Beefsteak, formerly about GA cents a pound, now costs 92 cents and potatoes that formerly sold for four cents a pound new cost 20 to 3S cents.

fourth-grader does at recess time.
 Secondly, there are a couple of schemes in the offing to cut non- defense personnel without bother ing to go through legislative chan nels. One would be an executive order from the President permitting defense agencies to make personnel raids on non-defense bureaus. At present, the stealing of hired help is a pretty precarious business and needs a lot of finagling, both on the part of the personnel thief and the job-jumper, unless the latter wants to lose face and status with the Civil Service Commission,
 Also under consideration is an- other executive order which would prevent non-defense agencies from filling vacancies without proving that their entire machine would collapse unless the job were taken over by a replacement employe.
 The third major offensive can be found in the surveys the Bureau of the Budget now is making against the next fiscal year ap- propriations. There already are meanings in some sectors that the Budget Bureau is talking tough to non-defense agencies, bureaus, and departments. The rumor now is that Budget is aiming at some thing just short of billion dollars in savings, with the axe scheduled to fall heavily on WPA, the pro- posed combine of CCC and MA. and on some activities in the De- partment of Agriculture.
 All of this talk about stripping the non-defense agencies of all out essentials wouldn't mean much if the present classification of ma tional defense agencies is con- tinued. Today, there are so few "non-defense' agencies that you could hardly find them with a mil croscope. For one reason or an- other, something like 13O bureaus. agencies and whole departments have been classified as defense agencies and allowed the privileges and considerations legislated and ordered by executives from the President down, in an effort to give us all-out defense. For in- stance, practically every thing in agriculture, the postoffice, most of labor, much of commerce, and a lot of interior now are listed under defense"
 Under a re-definition, only the first line defense agencies, such as War, Navy, OEM (office of emergency management, OPM. Price Administrat ton, and one or two others would get this rating. The rest would have to stream line or bust.
 It's more than talk-or at least will be when John Q. gets his first income tax notice next March That's how official Washington has IS sized up, anyway.
