Meigs

1t seems that friends who read
our column discuss questions in our
hearing which we feel should be
discussed more fully-or perhaps by
a wider circle of thinking folks.
The question in mind at present
"When doctors examine patients
and find they are suffering from a
dangerous illness, should the doctor
tell them" Then there is another
question regarding folks who nave
money and think they are sick.
Readers will please go on from
here. Then there is the question
of the preacher, who some folks call
sport. Then we are asked, have
you noticed what preacher conducts
the most funerals? Since we learn
ed our friend Dick Roberts was
called and asked question. OF
course he answered correctly and
was told they were sending him So.
The Evans sale was fairly we'll
attended. 1t was one of those sales

pathy of folks who know how hard
to make a show with so many un-
desirable articles.

In talking with S. e. Bone we
learned that more than one good
man was born in the house we spoke
of in last weeks paper (Muchmore).
Sammy started his pilgrimage there.
While he was never ordained, his
life has been a sermon well preach
ed. We are glad we know the his
tory of one of the two. Perhaps we
will be the center of attraction and
Sammy will be present. SO we will
say at this time that to write of him
while he is with us is pleasure
whereas were he dead there would
be much of good to say, we would
say, or write, it with sorrow.

While we feel quiet and reserved
we got more or less excited one day

that it was Dub Haines.
The funeral of Corporal John w.
Hale, which was held as noted in
last weeks Democrat, Was attend
ed by more than the usual number
of folks attending service at flu
neral parlor, in spite of the fact
that the service was supposed to be
private. AS we stood beside the
grave our mind went back to the
day we spent with Johns grand
mother, Mrs. Frances Hale, follow
ing her return from her trip to
France and her visit to the grave Of
her son, Charles. We recalled the
following statement of Mrs. Hale:
LAS we left the ship the French
women dressed in deep black lined
up and shook hands with us; shed
tears as we went to our train say
ing 'let us mingle our tears together
as our sons and husbands mingled
their blood together AS we plac-
ed all that was mortal of John in
the tomb, we recalled how his
grandmother loved him-and how
all go out to the mother, grand
father, and other relatives in their
bereavement in the sacrifice in CIV
ing their loved one as Morgan
countys first son in defense of his
home-his nation.
While we have been giving our
readers pencil pictures of Meigs for

advertising, we are still wondering.

 Davis was the last American of ficial to leave Warsaw in September of 1939. Ambassador Riddle left on September 5, but Davis, who was Consul General, remained through 16 more days of bombardment from aircraft and field artillery, and fin ally got out of Poland through the German lines.
 Today, Davis sits in an obscure State Department office, wearing a green eye-shade, studying his new assignment. For the recent State Department "handout" listed him as Chief of the Office of Philippine Affairs = long, long way from Poland.

CrOss-Channel Smelling

 The range of the German big guns that have been smelling the Dover area in England from em- placements across the Channel has been ex- tended that their shells fall some 12 miles farther inland. The German hope is believed to be even- tualy to drop shells London. Indeed Italian circles have proclaimed this to be the ultimate goal It is probably feasible Big Bertha" of the last war shelled Paris from the Hindenburg Line 60 miles away and later extended the range to 70 miles when the line was withdrawn. By airline to London from the nearest point the French coast is only abou' ten miles more
 How much aid such shelling would be to Ger man invasion is another matter. The bombardment Of Paris in 1918 did no military damage and the material damage was more by chance than calcula- ticn, although there were German observers in Paris who by crcuitous routes reported results for the purpose of correcting the aim. What happened was that the Germans firing at angle close to verti- cal sent shells of comparatively light caliber-only 75 kilograms-into the stratosphere hoping theJ would come down in a closely built Some times they did; oftener they dropped in parks or other vacant places.

Pedestal and gun carriage weighed $50 tons After firing the gun quivered like fish ing rod. After 75 rounds it became worn out and had to be replaced six replacements were kept ready for action. The complete gun cost approximately S3000G00 and to fire each round about s7500 To hide its location from the French sound detectors three heavy German batteries near by opened fire every time it discharged thus adding to the cost The Kaiser was greatly impressed when ne inspected the contraption. But its value the man ause came pretty close to nothing.

HIGHWAYS FOR ALASKA

The Territorial Legislature has just passed memorial asking Congress to extend the Federal Highway Act to Alaska. That the Territory in l94l should have petition the national government to make effective here law to whose benefits we should always have been entitled is a symptom of what was until just few years ago profound national lack oi interest in Alaska We have abun- dant signs that the nation has changed it's mind about and have to hope that our plea for a Federal Highway Act program will at last be considered sympathetcaly in Washington
 The Territories Of Hawaii and Puerto Rico have enjoyed the privileges Of the act for many years There is, as Territorial Highway Engineer William A. Hesse points out no legitimate why Alaska should not be included but many why it should ht
 Our Board of Road Commissioners was created with the anticipation of making the Territory eligible for participation in the benefits of the Federal Highway Act Extension Of the act to Alaska would not involve any greater expenditure by the Federal Government than at present it would have profound effect upon the orderly development of the Territory
 Under the provisions Of the act, funds are allot- ted in each State and Territory except of course Aaska) on the basis that States area in relation the national total population in relation to the national total and mileage Of rural and star routes n relation to the national total According to this formula Alaska would have received in the 1940 fiscal year s5619903 from the total national appro- pfiaticn of sl0o0O0000
 This as Eesse points out in a letter to Rep Allen Shatfack author Of the memorial asking ex- tension of the act to Alaska, is man9esy in excess of immediate needs and out of all proportion to what should share. The act provides that Federal aid upon approved projects shall not exceed 50 percent of the estimated cost. except where appropriated public lands in the State Territory total than five percent of the of all lands in the State, in which the Federal contribution may be increased by percentage equal to one-half the percentage of such unappropriaed public lands. As unapproprated public lands in Alaska total about 99 percent of it's area this would that Fed

eral aid each project under the act would amount to 50 percent plus 491a percent, making 99a percent in all We do not of course, expect any such gift
 But do expect and entitled to receive a great deal more than have been getting. Hesse suggests that Alaska could well about two mill
 lion dollars a year for highway maintenance and much needed new construction. Maintenance on present 2385 miles of vehcular roads he figures at $500 per mile per year. Under his plan of an orderly expansion program maintenance would cost about SS00000 per year due to constantly increasing mileage. He suggests 12-year program, with new work each year to amount to about twice the cost of maintenance. Such program would give us almost $200O0.000 worth of highways in the 12 years and would maintain roads all at a cost of about $2,l50000 per year Toward this Alaska would contribute Is percent, $322500 per year. This appears fair based 1t is, both upon Aaskas legitimate needs in highways and the Territory's ability to pay
 Road construction is the outstanding need of Alaska without which it never grow prosper, ' Hesse says, adding that i've never hope to have large permanent popuation until we have more highways can we hope for expanding n- dustria development
 There is why the benefits of the Federal Highway Act, intended for all the States and Ter ritories should be withheld for Alaska. Let's have it for the North, and soon.
