He is likewise thankful to the

as damage would have been catas-
trophic had the full force of the
wind swept across the valley at the
ground level.
Path of the wind seemed to indi-
cate that two storm centers, one
from the north, the other from the
northwest converged in Mesquite
Lake district where seven power
poles were snapped off as though
they had been sheared with a cythe.
Wind at this velocity, Hewes said,
would have laid waste the main
district shops if it had struck them
full force.
The storm from INLAND, Calipatria
and Alimorio met the one that
clustered through Imperial and
swept southeast, swapping off one
power pole at Drop 3.
Worst feature of the repair work
was the lack of communications,
HeWes said. Pacific telephone lines
were down and headquarters could
not reach the men in the field to
direct the repairs until a late hour
Tuesday when communications were

Maritime Day Set On May r

JUNEAU, May 6 Acting Gov ernor E. L. Bartlett has proclaim ed May 9 as Maritime Day. His statement follows:
 Again this year, as has been the custom since 1883, May p has been officially designated by President Roosevelt as National Maritime Day in commemoration of the sailing of the first success ful ocean steamship Savannah on May g, 1919. The Presidential Proclamation will be issued short y from the White House. In addition to celebrating the anni- versary of the Savannah's sailing the day has been dedicated by the marine. industry to the off, oers and men who are serving our merchant marine in the pre- sent war.
 Tn view of the tremendous tasks being accomplished by the officers and men of Americas $ maritime fleet in the war - in- cluding citizens from every state the observance of National Mari time Day is a fitting tribute to them, similar to the tribute to our armed forces on Army Day and Navy Day.

promises to reinstat Brazil as one of the rubber centers of the world.
 Rio de Janiero, the capital, is a city of more than million in- habitants. But there is no conges- tion even here. Famed as one of the most beautiful capitals of the world, city of marble, palms and broad avenues, Rio" is also center of commercial, so- cial and cultural development; seat of government that has given education high place in its activities.
 The Brazilian constitution di- vides power between national and state authorities. The Presi- dent is the supreme authority, charged with directing the pol icies and maintaining the wei fare of the state. He initiates legislation, may nominate one candidate in elections to choose his successor but by two thirds vote of a two-house parlia ment, can be overridden in his veto of legislation.
 As in other countries new or old, Brazils form of government represents peoples evolution. Unlike that of many of the young nations of the New World, however, from discovery and first colonization by the Portu- guese Alvares Cabral at the turn into the Sixteenth Century, down through the rule of Mar quis of Pombal, "the great mar qis," though independence and constitutional monarchy in the reins of the Dom Pedros, father and son, to the coup d'etat of November IS, 1889, out of which came the federal republic, the romance of Brazil tells of change after change without violence or bloodshed.
 The nation has been growth, not an eruption. Its natural wealth has hardly been touched; it's native genius hardly reveal ed. Its potentialities are far be- yond present reckoning.

Rudyard klpllng, seasoned
 traveller, wrote of it as "A world in itself" The proportions of
 he country are gigantic. The consequent variations in life, eli
 mate, topography, resources and
 products are in keeping. BraziPs frontiers are so far flung that they meet with those of seven of her nine sister republics in South America, and embrace a l country larger than our contin- ental United States; larger than all of Europe, excluding Russia. Nearly half the population of South America makes home of Brazil. From the equatorial jun gles of the basin of the majestic Amazon in the north, Brazilian territory, with an Atlantic coast line of 4300 miles, sweeps thru pleasant and productive uplands far into the south temperate zone.
 These central and southern up lands are the heart of the Brazil of today. Here are the most fer tile lands; the best grazing areas. From here comes the famous coffee, base of about three-fifths of the total value of the nations exports. From here come the cot ton, fruit and livestock, hides, wax, tobacco and other items which, with rubber and nuts from the Amazon country, Bra gil offers in exchange for her needs in machinery, tools, fuel, wheat, chemicals, automobiles and iron and steel products. Here too, in a region of half million square miles, less than fifth of the country's area, lives sixty per cent of population of A millions, seventy of every hun dred at work in agriculture or stockraising.

Half Million Set Alaska Bond Pur- chases After July

Alaska War Bond purchases during the month of April ex- reeded the quota set by the War Savir gs Staff of the U. s. Trea- sury for the current month. Fred w. Aver, Deputy Administrator of War Savings, announced to- day
 Sales of Series E Bonds las. n-onth, on the basis of reports from eighteen communities, to- tallsd $352, ,759. This compared with $355,9S0.75 in January; $3o5,PilP. 25 in February, and $432 72075 in March. The quota for the current month of May is $350 900.
 The Territory has been fairly consistent in its support of the War Savings program" MT. Aver said, but while the April sales exceeded slightly the quota set for May, the June quota will mere nearly approximate the sales during March, when the Spirit of Alaska bomber cam paign, coupled with the highly successful Defense Sports Festi- val at Fairbanks, sent sales to their highest peak.
 "In the month of July, Alaska is asked to attain the half mil ' lion dollar mark in bond pur- chases, and from that point on ward for the duration of the war. will be expected to main- tain that figure as minimum monthly average. The Treasury Department cannot put too much stress on the ab-olute necessity for the setting of these quotas Time is short and the ever-in- creasing demands of our war machine create an urgency that we cannot escape or evade. Tc ra.se the billions which we need to win this war, and to do all ir our power to check imitation, we must raise our sights. Alaska not only must meet the quotas which have been set; it must exceed them.'
