Fred Gunderson, well known res ident of Wrangell and prominent for many years in the fishing in dustry in Southeast Alaska, will soon be lending his experience to Donald Nelson's War Production Board. The Wrangell man has been asked to serve with WIPE, prObab- ly in connection with fisheries pro auction in Alaska. Well informed on the fishing industry with lie time of Alaska background, Wran- gelPs Gunderson can give valuable assistance to WIPE in the produc- tion end of the war effort. WIPE plan appears to be coordination or labor, transportation and eannery production get up the pack next season under government superYl- sion. Inroads on labor by other war industry and the draft, coupled with boats being requisitioned for the war effort, leaves fishing industry in a bad spot which WIPE hopes to remedy.

GOLD MINING IN ALASKA

The order of the War Production Board Elimination Order L-29S) suspending practically all gold mining in the nationa came as no real surprise 10 those who are fam iliar with the views of the Exec utive authorities concerning gold mining. The order, in effect, re- qures that after it's date. October S, 1942, seven days are given with in which to suspend development work and new operations, and with in sixty days all such mining oper- ations must cease except to the minimum amount of labor and ma terial necessary to maintain build ings. machinery and so forth. How ever, the order does not apply to any lode mine which produced 1900 tons or less of commercial ore in the year 1941, provided the rate of production, after the date of this order, shall not exceed 100 tons per month, nor to any placer mine which treated less than 1000 cubic yards of material in the year 1941, provided that the rate of treatment of such placer mine, after the date of the order, shall not exceed 100 cubic yards per month. Moreover, exception is made of those mines which hold a serial number under Preference Rating Order P-56,
 Provision is made for continued operations of all facilities used in the production of strategic metals.
 In the earlier months of 1922 an official of the War Production Board announced that while oper- ations of gold mines would be per- mitted in 1942, it was probable that no such operations would be continued thereafter for the dura- ton of the war. The Government now holds more than 22 bil- lion dollars worth of gold at cur- rent prices. At the same time, the United States continues to buy at $35 an ounce gold produced in foreign countries. notably South

cause we are worshipers of idols
many of our own idols are crashing
about us and our loss of faith IS
not the loss of Christian God, but
a loss of the things that we substi-
tuted in place of Christianity, even
though we gave our religion Chris
tian Technology. I shall endeavor
to point out some Of these conflicts
in present-day religion and show the
place that pure Christianity must
assume today if we would save our
