.Fleek & Son

FEBRUARY End marked
the 80th anniversary of
F1eek & Son. company, one
of the oldest institutions in
Newark. Behind this rep
utable concern lies eighty
years of service to the re-
tail grocers of this and
neighboring communities.
To pilot any business
through 80 years of panic,
prosperity and depression,
required the utmost in
skill and knowledge of mer-
chandising. In the begin
ming the founders must
have builded upon the rock
of integrity and the teach
ings of the gonden rule
have been the guiding light
throughout the interim.
We join with all their
friends in congratulating
them upon the memorable
occasion and wish F'leek &
Son company and their
associates many more years
in which their firm can be
of service to the retail groc-
cry trade.

The local aspects of the de-
fense problems to be considered
by the group in the near future
are as follows:
/. Do we know what we are
trying to defend?
z. Are we likely to destroy
democracy in the process of de-
Tending it?
What can we do in our COM

tense?
4. What changes are needed
in existing community programs
to meet the present emergency?

attend the conference. In con-
formity with this request Rev.

List of Delinquent Taxes Published On Pages Five an
Lincoln

FEB. IL marked the an
niversary of the birth of
the mystic Lincoln, who
spoke with prophetic vision,
the following words COM
ing to us over the vast eX-
panse of years:
"At what point shall we
expect the approach of dan
ger? BY what means shall
we fortify against it? Shall
we expect some transatlan-
sic. military giant to step
across the ocean and crush
us at one blow? Never.
All the armies of Europe,
Asia and Africa combined,
with all the treasure of the
earth (our own excepted)
in their military chest,
with a Bonaparte for a
commander, could not, by
force, take a drink from the
Ohio, or make a track on
The Blue Ridge, in a trial of
a thousand years if de
struction be our lot, we
must ourselves be its au-
thor and finisher. AS a ma
ton of freemen, we must
live through all time, or die
by suicide"
Thus spoke Lincoln, the
man who belongs to the
ages" when he was but %
wears old.

 The pilots of these unlicensed autos drive in eternal darkness except for their headlights, which burn constantly.

MISS WANDA WOOD
 BECOMES BRIDE OF MR. DELBERT SMITH
Ceremony Takes Place al Portland on January !
 -0ff on Honeymoon

Miss Wanda Wood, daughter of Pastor and Mrs H. L. Wood, of Ju- neau, was married to Delbert Smith at Portland, oregon, on January ', the ceremony taking place at the home of the parents of the groom. Pastor George Seltzer of the Port land Central Seventh Day Adven- tist Church, and lifelong friend of the Wood family, officiated at the ceremony.
 The ceremony was performed in candlelight in front of two huge baskets of white chrysanthmums. The bride wore a beautiful corsage of rose buds, while the brides sister, i Miss Virginia Wood. wore yellow rose buds Mrs. Woods wore a gar denia.
 Cake and ice cream were served to 18 relatives and close friends. ! After a short honeymoon, MT. and Mrs Delbert Smith will locate in Portland. where MT. Smith is the owner of a sawmill.
 Pastor and Mrs. Wood reached Portland on the morning of January 5. On the evening of January 5 the Woods were guests at dinner party given by MT. and Mrs. E. F. Woody and the occasion was taken to an- nounce the engagement of their daughter. Miss Wanda Wood. Pastor Wood left Portland later for the East and was therefore unable to perform the marriage ceremony Of his daughter as planned when he left Juneau
 Immediately after the wedding on January 2, Mrs. Wood left aboard a train for Minneapolis, Minn, where she was to meet the Pastor and they were to visit the latter's sister and brother. then go to Lake Field Minn., where he was to give an | illustrated lecture on Alaska. From , there the Woods were to go to Flint l Michigan, to pick up new Chev- , rolet and proceed to Washington, D l C., where the Pastor is to take ad- l vanced Bible study at the Seventh Day Adventist Seminary

dent and what does he do? Moth g-absolutely nothing but sit around and wait for the President to die.
 If the President doesn't die, this VP. is man without a job and we have wasted a lot of good sal ary. And besides he will be a sort of a walking. reminder to the President that he might kick off any minute now Gentlemen, think we have to find job for the Vice President"
 So they decided to make him President of the Senate, and ever since then the Senators have been saying:
 What's the big idea-the ex- ecutive branch coming up here tC the legislative ranch and hand ing us a presiding officer? They don't treat the House that way Those little two-year men get to elect their own presiding officer Why can't we? Oh, we know it's in the constitution, but that cer- tainly was a slip on somebody's part and don't think we won't ge; even."

INSIGNIFICANT" TO ADAMS
 You beginning to see what I mean?
 After four years of hcldin9 down the job fellow named John Adams said My country has in it's wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination con- ceived."
 A little over a hundred years ago Senator John Rowan re- marked He (the V. p is polit ically embalmed in the chair of the Senate, awaiting the resurrec- tion which the death, political or natural, of the President has been ordained by the constitution to produce"
 That's not very nice way of putting it, but it is about what the job generally has amounted to. As presiding officer, the Presi- dent of the Senate is bound by the rules of the Senate and those rules don't give you much lee way. You can't get very high handed with the Senators in shut ting off debate or stopping dis putes that get too sulphurous. Even in the matter of clearing the galleries, there is some ques- ton of whether you could do it over the demands of Senator
 As for voting in case of tie don't count much on that In the whole 150 years of Congress, there have been fewer than two votes a year by Vice Presidents, and since 1875 fewer than one a year. Your predecessor only had a couple of votes; Curtis, before him, only had three; Dawes two; and Calvin Coolidge none at all.

that the mine exists.

that the mine exists.
 Thirty years ago immense deposits of salt were discovered a thousand to fifteen hundred feet below Detroit's west side. A shaft was sunk by the Inter- national Salt Company, which has been burrowing under De- troit ever since. Distances finally became so great that the automobile idea got into the company's head.
 The difficulty was that no road ran into the mine.
 The only way was by vertical shaft. So the salt company put it's problem up to the Ford Mo- tor Company.
 The next difficulty was that regular closed car wouldn't
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-01-14

fit into the shaft.
 So a couple of convertibles were sent over and the tops re- moved. Then into the depths of the shaft went the topless cars. There was no need to put the tops on again, for no rain or snow ever falls in the city of salt, where the temperature is always 58 degrees.
 One. of the cars was assigned to foreman Edward Yipee, who has worked in the, mine since the shaft was first sunk in 1910.
 The other Ford is equipped as a repair and maintenance car and is used chiefly by the mechanical trouble shooter in keeping the mines far-fung machinery in working order. [
