ming at 9:15 A. M instead of 8:45 A. M, the usual time In the event that Juneau is undergoing a continuous blackout, all school act ivities will necessarily be discon- tinued.
 An added precaution has been taken by the School Board in in- stalling air raid sirens in the grade and high schools. These alarms have been put to tests and have proven completely satisfactory. The stu dents have been subjected to single drill to acquaint them with the difference between this alarm and the fire alarm also used in the buildings. It is imperative that those in school realize that when the air raid alarm is sounded, they are to proceed to their lockers immediate ly and collect absolutely all of their clothing. In a dire emergency, this clothing may possibly be all the protection they will have against the weather they may be forced to combat ConcluSively, the principle difference between the fire alarm and the air raid alarm is that students must gather their clothing before the buildings at the sound of the air raid alarm while they are to leave the school immediately and without clothing from lockers when the fire alarm is sounded.
 After the single air raid alarm drill carried on today, the students will not again hear the alarm until an emergency exists.
 Mimeographed forms are being sent out to all parents who have children on school busses asking them to give names of friends or relatives in Juneau in whose care the children can be placed in the event it is impossible for the busses to operate. The general public will be asked to volunteer to take care of any children who do not have places in Juneau to stay in case of emergency.

EARLIER REPORT

MANILA, 2:50 pm, Dec. 10. - Japanese parachutist troops were reported to have captured Port Vigan, on northwestern Luzon Is- land, where sea borne troops land ed near northern Port Aparri, the first full fledged landing on Am erican soil since the war of 1872.
 An Army communique said the Japanese first landed at Aparri, and perhaps at other continuous points"
 The Japanese conducted landing operations at Vigan amid bombing by American planes, which result ed in the capsizing of one Japa- nese transport and damage to two of five others.
 While the battle in the north still ragged, two waves of Japanese bombers raided Manila and it's su- burbs shortly after noon, hitting hard at military centers, including Nichols Air Depot, Fort William Mckinley, Nelson Airport and other districts. Port Iva Clark Air field was unofficially reported to have been bombed at the same time.
 It was Philippine constabulary forces which reported the para chutist capture of Vigan, only 200 miles northwest of Manila. Fili- pinos familiar with the region said although there are no large har- bors or many places along the coast favorable to such landings, that for years Japanese fishing boats have been seen along the coast talk ing soundings.
 American and Filipino troops went into action immediately against the invaders.

'EARTHB0UND' IS AT 10TH CENTURY
 FOR TWO NIGHTS
Murdered Man Won't Stay Dead-Baxter Co., o-starred
 with Andrea Leeds

The murdered man in Earth bound won't stay dead. He is Warner Baxter, who is co-starred with Andrea Leeds in 20th Gen. tury-Foxs surprising film which is coming to the goth Century to- night for two-night run. He re- mains on after his death, in the form of ghost-like apparition, through spectacular motion picture magic.
 Baxter passes through iron doors and stone walls because actually he isn't there. The screen audience is able to see him clearly, however, as he tries to establish contact with his widow, who is portrayed by Andrea Leeds. Baxter virtually is haunted by the living in what is claimed to be his strongest and most amazing role to date.
 The supporting cast includes Lynn Bari. Charley Grapewin, Henry Wilcoxon and Elizabeth Patterson. Irving Pichel directed "Earthbound" from a screen play by John Howard Lawson and Sam uel G. Engel, which was based on story by Basil King.

RUSSIAN STRENGTH

assume after a month of war that
the Russian air force has. been

san warplanes are still in action

bombers over the capital and at

One independent estimate as

overall strength as high as. $4,000,

planes and personnel can be re-
placed. Some authorities have
written that the Soviet has Is air

Do Their Best To Annoy
DR.. Gibbs has never fully sub
scribed TO the idea prevalent in
baccalaureate sermons and COM
tmencement addresses that this is
the age of man; he thinks it is a
toss-up whether this will be known
as the age Of man or the age Of
insects. He is inclined to- believe
that the nervous ganglia of the in
sects, although they are not exact
ly brains, are better than brains.
Of course, there is a medical ques-
ton involved, because the insects
are doing everything they can to
interfere with food production for
man; also to convey disease to man
and annoy him in other ways.
Insects Versus Man
In this World War Of insects
versus man, scientists have now
turned from chemical warfare to
bacterial warfare, and on many
fronts it has been found that GER
tain bacteria will kill off invading
insects deleterious to vegetation.
An example Of this is the work
of the Department of Agriculture
with the germ which kills off the
grubs Of the Japanese beetle. The
Japanese beetle was brought from
Japan on a shipment Of ornamen-
tai shrubs in 1916 to found in the
United States, far better field
for its activities than in Japan be-
cause the grub Of the Jap beetle
has to grow in untitled soil and
there is scarcely a square yard of
untitled soil in Japan.
Working To Check Beetles
The United States Agricultural
experts worked on sprays, pow
ders, and quarantine methods to
check the beetles spread, but in
spite of these methods the beetle
has implanted itself all along the
Atlantic seashore from Chesa-
peake Bay to Long Island Sound.
Now, having called in a germ, it is
possible the Jap beetle menace in
the United States will be wiped
out.
Perhaps we will find lethal
germs also for bed-bugs, fleas, lice,
woodticks, mosquitoes and flies,
and others of our enemies, but not
until this war is over. The world
is too busy fighting men to have
time for the battle of insects.
