in the boundaries and jurisdiction
Of the Territory as directed by
the Governor. The Territorial
Guard is expected, under normal
circumstances, to be used for the
benefit Of the Territory to meet
domestic emergencies such as civil
disturbances and disasters resulting
from war or other cause and to
guard and protect vital industries,
Installations, communications, and
facilities when local police and civil

envy agents such as organized fifth
column groups and parachute troops
and to cooperate with Federal mill
tary authorities in extreme emer-
bencies especially in the evacuation

tiers.
Suggest Programs
The War Department, through
the National Guard Bureau and
Commanding General Alaska De-
fense Command, has circulated to

suggested training programs 10
standardize progressive and bal
anced training. The War Depart

desires every effort be made TO
make the training of the Territor-
ial Guard interesting and practical

should be developed by the use Of
realistic methods of training.
Instructions on this point are
Conditions and situations which
might confront the Territorial
Guard should be simulated as close
ly as possible in problems and ex
9rcises Imagination and ingenuity
should be used to think up and
conduct practical and realistic
problems and alerts."

Labor Social Duty.

Medical and hygienic assistance is
provided for workers and pregnant

But how do you find time"
we marveled, with all the other
things you do?'
We'll, said Mrs. OLeary, Il
can do other things at the same
time-I've knitted so much that
don't have to keep my eyes on
the work and 1 can read and do
accounts while I'm knitting!"
Three days a week Mrs. OLeary
goes to the District Chapter
House and does her job of placing
the nurses aides who already
have been capped and are ready
for duty at one of the local hos
pitfalls. She checks on the corps
and sees that each woman is dis
charging her obligation to the
Red Cross. One day a week Mrs.
OLeary works as an aide herself
at Garfield Hospital and one day
week at Gallinger Hospital. In
between times she attends Execu-
tive Committee meetings where
the problems of the corps are dis
cussed and acted upon. Most of
that remaining sixth day she
spends at the British War Relief.
She and her husband live in an
apartment at the Brighton Hotel
on California street; but it's
housekeeping apartment, because
Mrs. OLeary likes very much to
cook. She makes breakfast every
morning before she and her hus-.
band 60 to work and she cooks
dinner for the two of them when
she gets home in the evening.
She has a collection of cook books
and she's always, she says, on
the lookout for new recipes.
The other occupant of their
small apartment is Max, the
dachshund. When Mrs. OJeary
took us home with her the other
afternoon she warned that we
must be prepared for an on
slaught from Max-but when she
opened the door Max's only idea
was to greet his mistress. which
he did by almost knocking her
down.

Christmas in this Capital is
celebrated in many and varied
ways, with the usual festivity and
gayety centering around the
children of each household.
Members of the diplomatic corps,
those representatives from coun-
tries where the followers of the
Christ Child predominant, usu-
ally gather the members of the
embassy or legation STATS and
their families about them for a
celebration, either Christmas eve
or Christmas Day. Many of them
meet and attend the midnight
service Christmas eve and re-
turn to the embassy or legation
for supper afterward.
A few of the newer diplomatic
missions, such as the Iceland and
New Zealand Legations, are
different in their mode of cele-
bration, but they undoubtedly
will observe the day with their
countrymen in Washington. A
few of the countries make
Christmas a strictly religious fes-
tival and have the exchange OF
gifts on January 6, the feast Of
the Epiphany.
The Argentine Ambassador
and Sonora de Espil will be hosts
