GLAD TO BE HOME! I'LL SAY 50, SAYS
 LES TEAGLE TODAY

Everyone in Alaska who is com- blaming about shortages and other disruptions in their normal life ought to make a two-week trip to the Pacific Coast to really appre- ciate how little our lives up here have been changed, SO far, by war conditions" Lester E. Teagle, man. ager of the Catering Department of the Baranof Hotel said today after a six weeks trip to Pacific Coast cities.
 Life is so completely altered in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, in fact in every city and town on the coast that it is like going into different world than we know in Juneau" MT. Teagle said.
 Whether one wants a hotel room service in a restaurant, department store or garage, one is up against the need for standing in line to take ones turn and is frequently unable to obtain anything, whether it is service or an article to pur- chase, he said. One wholesale gro- cer, of San Francisco, told MT. Teagle that in the 45 years he had been in business, he had never seen or dreamed of conditions as they are now. People must make up their minds to take things as they come. Many commodities are not obtainable and merchants must plan to substitute and accept the allotment of merchandise that will be allowed them" the wholesaler declared.
 MT. Teagle visited his family in Seattle and motored from there south to Los Angeles, taking his daughter, Sharon with him on the trip. All motor transportation, in cluding busses and trucks must ob- oSAFS siiC oO-liiiC pCl liOui opCCo limit which makes a long drive any, thing but a pleasure. The dimouts practiced along the coast m e even familiar city look strange and unreal. In fact. life everywhere is completely altered and will re- main so for the duration" he said.
 The trip was made for the pur- chase of needed supplies for the Baranof Coffee Shop and catering department.
 It is surely good to be back in Juneau where life seems to go on more or less normal, so far, MT Teagle said.

JUNEAU PUPILS
 DETERMINED TO
 DO NO DAMAGE
Sign Pledges 10 Avoid and Prevent Destruction
 on HdIoWe en

Practically all Juneau children, through their schools, have pledged themselves to refrain from pulling any harmful pranks this Halloween in support of the nations war ef- fort. Furthermore, they have agreed to do their utmost to prevent any damage.
 The approximate 409 pupils of Juneau Grade School have signed the following pledge which was read this noon by Superintendent A. B. Phillips at the Chamber of Commerce meeting:
 AS a patriotic American citi- zen, I hereby solemnly pledge that during this Halloween season, shall not commit any act of van dalism or do anything that might cause other people unnecessary work or expense"
 High School Pledge
 A like pledge was signed by the 142 Juneau High School students and reads as follows
 We, the undersigned, all being students of Juneau High School, hereby pledge that CD we will not commit any acts which will lead to or cause destruction of property during this Halloween season and (2) we will do our utmost to pre- vent others from doing those acts if it is in our power to do so and (3) we realize that waste and de- struction of goods is contributing to the work of fifth columnists, saboteurs and other enemy agents and (4) we know that destroying any useful thing now gives "aid and comfort to the enemy"
 THEREFORE, we gladly sign and agree to abide by this pledge that we may, perhaps, by so doing assist in saving even one life or shorten this war by even one day"
 The Empire regrets that it doe: not have sufficient space to print the names of all students who signed these pledges.
 Reject Party Offer
 At the same time, MT. Phillips informed members of the Chamber that the students had rejected the Chambers offer to treat them to an ice cream and cake party after Halloween The students decided that they had no desire to be paid for doing something that was their duty A letter of thanks and notice of the rejection was read.
 Bob Helgeson, President Jof the Juneau Student Body, also spoke in connection with this matter, as- surfing the cooperation of the stu- dents.
 The Chamber also moved to send a letter to Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, supporting his protest to the Office of Price Ad- ministration's proposal to apply general rationing to Alaska. R. E. Robertson and Allen Shattuck were appointed to draft the letter.

A foundation of better health

Being AdvOcated In State

investigate and then seek ways to
improve our diets, so that we may
be better nourished. Improvement
of housing conditions, especially III
areas where an influx of defense
workers are causing crowding, is
important, as well as in our tene-
ment sections.
Sensible clothing, planned TO
meet weather conditions, is an
other field which DelawareaEs
would do well to study, in an eff
fort to prevent colds, one of our
most prevalent forms of ill health.
Freedom of action and freedom
of thought have been our funda-
mental principles in America, but
now, in the emergency, we must
put aside personal preferences and
seek to make strong cOordinated
effort to preserve the health and
welfare Of all. Carelessness on the
part of one may mean endangerlng
the health of many others. Should
such actions persist it is entirely
possible that later we will have our
lives ruled for us if we do not
now rule them for the good of all.
Epidemics lead to great disaster
and suffering, and, in wartime,
their occurrence may lead to mar
tial law in the locality in which
they exist.
1, therefore. advise Delaware
citizens to comply with the request
of our Medical Division of the
State Council of Defense and of the
State Board of Health to have the

lection and have it at oncel
