GEE WIFI, But THIS
JUNEAU HAS GROWN

Back in Juneau after an absence
of "a years William S. Spearman,
is lost right in this city. He hap
pened to spot Al Zenger on the
street this afternoon and yelled:
al, lead me before l get lost"
Spearman and zenger went to
school here, both in the same class.

to the westward where he was en-
gagged in civil engineer work, then
was transferred elsewhere. He has

Gosh Almighty, how this city has
grown. 1t is astonishing. I can't

along" Cassidy in 3
Men from Texas"

There's double treat in store
for you "Hopalong" Cassidy fans
in that cinema cowboys latest ad-
venture Three Men From Texas,
which opens tonight at the 20tl'
Century Theatre.
For, not only will you find your
self we'll provided with fast action
hard riding and motion as only
"Hopalong' seems to be able to
deliver it--and Harry Sherman 70
produce it-but the action takes
place in what is perhaps one OF
the most exciting periods of Cali
fornia's history. The period is the
time, not so very long ago, when
INSCRIPTIONS land dealers, resort
ing to every trick and device in
the pirates handbook, looked upon
the huge estates of the Spanish
dons who had been settled there
since the Seventeenth Century,
found it good. and calmly set
about to wrest it from their right
full owners.
In Three Men From Texas, "
Cassidy, Texas Ranger, is called
upon by a community in California
to come in and rid the region Of
these land pirates, who are not
above murder and kidnapping. Cas-
sidy, it seems, cannot leave Texas,
but his pal Lucky" goes. Lucky
gets himself into plenty of trouble
in the process, including the losing
of his heart to the beautiful daugh-
ter of a disposessed Spanish land
owner, and it becomes necessary
for 'Hopalong" to ride not only
to his rescue, but to clean up the
land grabbing racket to do SO.
AS usual in the "Hopalong" pic
lures, William Boyd plays the role
of Cassidy, while Russell Hayden
rides at his side as Lucky" The
third man from Texas" is Andy
Clyde, who, incidentally, ceie-
brates his one hundred and first
screen appearance in this film.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor, Juneau, Alaska,
Jan Elm time of war, in fact in
any time of stress, it is difficult
for the peoples of any nation to
keep an even keel but it seems un-
fortunate that we are unable to
lend our utmost support to Home
Defense without the whole struct-
ure of our homes and civic life
being disrupted by panic.
Where would England be today
if she had Gone off the deep end
the way we are going here.
1t is true, that we are making
preparations now which might
freighten many unthinking people
1t is also true that many Or even
all of them might prove to have
been unnecessary and useless. How
ever, the cost in time and effort
is so small compared to the great
cost to us in the event of its need,
that we should give our fullest CO.
operation to all authorities in TAX
ing every precaution for safety re-
CARELESS of our own present opinion
on the matter. One should also
understand that the mere taking
of these precautionary measures
should not be sufficient to upset
people of good balance.
England has undergone months
and months of not only threat but
actual bombing, which is a thing
that in all probability, will never
happen to us-yet she has kept a
sane balance and carried on her
business industries, yes, and even
her farms and gardens through IL
all In that fact lies a big factor
of her stability.
Yet here in Alaska, at the mere
mention Of blackout many people
break up their homes and make a
dash for new misunderstanding
of them less safe than Juneau.

is interested in the welfare of the
town and also as an individual who
is equally or more interested in the
preservation of my own skin and
the lives of my family. For that
reason I've tried to sort out from
the myraid of rumors and the
hysteria which has been caused by
the aforementioned rumors-a few
pertinent facts
First; Juneau is infinitely safer
than most places; inasmuch as we
have no army or navy bases, no
ship building, no airplane factories;
in short, no industries which con-
tribute to warfare. To attack us
would gain nothing for the enemy
Secondly; the evacuation of wo-
men and children from army and
navy bases has been contributing
factor to the general exodus of civil
ians 1t is well-known fact that
this is not to insure their safety
so much as it is to give absolute
freedom of family ties to our fight

Just a Rdindrop,
But Elevator Girl
Gives Her SIS
War Chest Drive
Adds II to $500. 900
From General Motors

A girl named Anne gave SIS
to Detroit's War Chest.
Her contribution is like a rain
drop falling In Lake Erie. It Is
swallowed up in today's total of
$907 ,596, but II Is not lost.
The girl is Anne Lucchi. an
elevator operator in the Majestic
building. On the basis of her sal
airy. that contribution is much
larger than her proper share.
So you have 10 think Of IL as
a very large gift on that basis.
and a very small one compared
to the 5000, 900 from General Mo-
tors. and the SIS, 900 from J. L.
Hudson Company, or the $4,000
or $4,000 given by people with
fortunes.
SO IT'S A RAINDROP
Call Anne's contribution, then,
raindrop.
Call IL a raindrop-but recollect
that 10 is the rain that keeps the
lakes from drying up, as much as
the rivers do. The rivers have
names: the raindrops do not. In
the end. the few rivers and the
countless raindrops lose their iden-
titles and become a single body
of water, making arid land fertile.
Comparing the War Chest and
Community Fund with the lake
requires no great stretch of mag
ination--a lake making the arid
lands of war years more fertile.
Anne Lucchi, running her ele-
vator, said:
20. I wouldn't want anything
written about IT,"
AS SIMPLE AS THAT
II was, simply. that the fund
solicitor, Mrs. Dupont M. New
bro Jr. was in the Majestic build
Ing and was mentioning the War
Chest to every one she met. That
simply that--was the reason
which impelled Anne Lucchi to
pledge her share.
why" said Anne. az don't
think 10 was anything heroic.
Some people told me I was
foolish and that I never could
afford to pay It. But-Fm glad
I did"
AS OF today. the War Chest has
raised 15.6 per cent of its quota
of S5,800.000, after two days of
campaigning. The large gifts al
ways come at the beginning; the
raindrop contributions start more
slowly and end : much more
strongly.
