 Knowing that many crowded ex- perienceS may be lost in memory, Miss Andrews is keeping a detailed diary of the trip and the little things" that cant be written about to her family now, but will mean so much when the adventure is over.
 So that her mother would not worry too much, Miss Andrews let her think she was just going to the Northwest and mailed a letter explaining her plans to come to Alaska just as she left the States Il told her that by the. time she received it, would be at my des- tination. That way she won't have the trip itself to fret about" she said.

SNOW FALLS,
 FAIR DEPTH


 The first heavy snow blanketed Juneau this morning. On the hill thoroughfsres, untouched by the wind, the depth of snow was from four to six inches. The snow was wet, not hard to sweep from side walks or other passage ways, but if packed, shovels had to be used.
 Early last evening there was a slight hail, then snow This packed and made it slippery on streets and sidewalks The snow continued to fall all night and at intervals dur ing the forenoon hours There was a trace of rain mixed in with the snow this forenoon.
 Autos and trucks without chains found going a problem during the night and this morning.
 Youngsters and others, with youthful instincts, resorted to snow balling, the snow packing easily.
 Oldtimers predicted the fall of snow will, for the most part, be gone tonight--maybe, I

Alliance of Axis-vithy
 Is Expetied
New Dictator Powers of Laval May Give French
 Fleet to Germany

LONDON, Nov. 19. - Fighting French sources today forecast a full military alliance between Germany and Vichy France. granting the Axis the use of the GA ships in the French fleet at Torllon, will be one possible outcome of Pierre Lavals new dic- tatorial powers.
 Such an alliance, if it develops, will probably follow a peace treaty between Germany and France.
 The treaty, it is thought, will de- mand the releasing of more than a million French prisoners, likely to be recalled to the French armed services.
 The Fighting French sources sug- gested that backed by German bay onets, Laval holds the power of life and death of the people of unhappy France.
 Marshal Henri Petain, at a Cab- inet meeting on Tuesday, it was dis closed, designated Laval as his heir in the job of Chief of State and gave him full powers to write his own laws and decrees.

 To Present Shows

 We have some scripts with us and others will be available at the different camps. A large part of our work will consist in getting up both musicals and dramatic pro- auctions in which the men will take part.

20 APPLICANTS
 SEEK FIRE JOB
Burgesses May Hold Spe- cial Meeting Within
 Two Weeks

Naugatuck, Aug. 7.-There is a probability that special meeting of the board of warden and bur gesses to take action on appointment of paid firemen may be held with in two weeks.
 It is reported there are close to 20 applicants for the position and a merry scramble is expected. In all probability the race may marrow down to five or six candidates before the board meets.
 Provision in the budget for an other paid fireman was made in the budget for the past fiscal year. How. ever, this was inserted because il was thought one would be needed when the new fire engine arrived The arrival of the bumper was de. layed a year by the war and priori. ties and as a consequence the ap. pointment has not yet been made However, there is provision for it ir the budget of this fiscal year.
 Now that the new piece of equip ment has arrived, 1t is felt irnpera- tive that the appointment be made soon. AS appointment virtually as' sures the appointee life job it Is considered 8 choice plum.
 It is probably no exaggeration to say that the burgesses have been harassed by the many applicants thus far.
