PUPS ARE PLACED ON SALE, BENEFIT
 SITkA RED GROSS

SITKA. Alaska, Feb. 6. - Com- mander J. R. Tate, who is in charge of the Naval Base on Jap onski Island, placed seven cocker spaniel pups on the auction block, the proceeds of the sale to go to the coffers of the Sitka Red Cross.
 The pups are temporarily quar- tered in the window of the P S. Ganty store in house specially prepared for the occasion One hour after taking up their new abode, the dogs. whose ancestors have been ribbon winners for many years in the States. were bid for by in- terested passers-by. Anna -Hootz' and "Kootznahoo" each brought Sl0 bids, and many juvenile spectators indicated that prospective bids would be entered by parents later in the day.
 Unmindful of chilling wind out side, and the ever-growing crowds at the window, the pups, although separated only few hours from their jealous mother, have been cavorting and barking their way into new hearts and new homes as each bid is posted.

NICE CAMERA, MISTER.


 How the detectives worked may be. demonstrated by repeating an incident that occurred to friend of mine on the Capitol Plaza in front of the Inaugural stand He's a camera fan and was in his seat before II o'clock to be sure that he had his candid camera sights set in plenty of time.
 No one had arrived yet in his row, but he had hardly gotten located before a man slipped into the seat next to him, showed a friendly interest in his camera and discussed photography with him. incidentally making an offhand in- spection of his camera.
 Tt wasn't until after the show started" says his friend that l realized the person sitting next to me wasn't my photographic friend at all and then it dawned on me had been investigated!"
 I told the story later to Colonel Starling He just smiled and said The boys didn't overlook much but that's what it takes"
 And he was off to his reports I'll be working on them for a month or two" he explained There are lot of little kinks we want to work out before l945.

CHAOS OF MISERY
 RESULT OF GREED
Rev. Dr.. John C. Walker Claims Present Day Truly
 One of Judgment

we are reminded In these days that this is truly q day of judg- iNent, for as you survey the inter- national situation, this vast chaos of misery, death and destruction, we recall that the present state of af- fairs has come upon Us. not like q thief In the night, but as the direct and often predicted resulted of Q nH. tural gelfshness, shortsightedness, apathy and greed" stated Rev. pr. John 0. Walker, Second Congrega- tional church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon, When Young People Stop Being Friends With Their Parents
 pr. Walker said in part:
 At the Versailles Peace Confer ence farsighted men pointed out that Q pact based on revenge and q high handed division of the spells would breed new wars in Europe. When armament men and imperial. istic policies wrecked disarmament conferences and prevented the Allies from fulfilling their implied pledge of disarmament 1t was freely pre- dicted that we were in for q new armament race and that war would come as soon as the armaments reached the saturation point on one side or the other. When Japan in- vaded Manchuria the case was more or less pigeonholed by the League of Nations. That was Far Eastern affair and the treaties covering the case could be ignored. When Halle Salassie made his dynamic plea be- fore the League of Nations he was heard in silence and nothing was done. Perhaps you remember the hypocrisy of on-intervenition In Spain the betrayal of Czacho-S -Slo- vakia at Munich. Is 1t any wonder that the Chinese ambassador to London was quoted recently, "The skies are black with chickens com ing home to roost." We understand what he meant and he might be pardoned for speaking with some bitterness. This isn't simply world catastrophe, this is world judgment.
 Our appeal to youth and young people Is that Christianity in its Beginnings were a working faith for band of young men. The dis ciples were young men and their leader was young in years and in spirit. We must refuse to let our faith and our churches grow old There must always be in our midst the dauntless spirit of youth, the zeal, the enthusiasm, the initiative that we associate with youth The future of the church is yours. the fate of the church is yours. Long ago Jesus said, He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad" It is ours to prove that we are with Him and for Him, that We are part of that coming Kingdom of brotherhood and righteousness and that we are determined to have e share in Its coming. You young people are the hope of the Church, its glory, It's promise. it's future. May you be faithful in the fIlflhnent of your trust.
