WASHINGTON, May 2G -"Y % = hoo Skinnay-school's out" used to be the June cry of American youth, but it won't be this year
 Commissioner John w. Stude- bakers Office of Education has issued this pronouncement: This summer comes not as a time for vacation but as an opportunity for (the schools) pointing up their services toward certain basic ob- jectives highlighted by the needs of the armed forces and of war production"
 As President oosevelt once pointed out, the educators just have to say 1t the hard way.
 All that means is that any school that doesn't keep open this sum- mer and contribute it's plant and personnel in some way to the war effort is skipping it's opportunity to be of important use to the com and the nation
 Just so those opportunities won't Ike overlooked, the Office of Edu- wartime commission has

NICHOLS PAINTS ROSY FUTURE FOR
 AIR TRANSp0RT
Congressman Spe aks fo Members of Juneau
 Rotary Club

Representative Jack Nichols, of Oklahoma, now in Juneau on his way from the Interior on an in- spection trip of commercial airlines under contract to the army, told members of Juneau Rotary Club today that they would be amazed to see what the planes on the boards" of American aircraft fac tories will be able to do in the future and that he believed that air transport is going to do big job for Alaska in the future.
 Nichols said that he is visiting Alaska to see what sort of a job the commercial airlines are doing in Alaska in contracts with the military in carrying soldiers and supplies by plane Also guests at the luncheon meeting in Percys Cafe were William Stern, of North Dakota, Northwest Airlines director, and Francis Butler, VIVA legal counsel. Stern also is a Republi- can National Committeeman for North Dakota.
 Big Future Here
 Nichols said that Alaska will grow more and more dependent up- on air transportation after the war, that the country which is ready to penetrate foreign markets with huge, fast cargo planes when the war is over will be the first to come back"
 Right now, he said, commercial airlines form a vital part in the nations defense and in the war effort. Some, he said. are under contract to the military, and oth- CTS are devoting their organizations to the war effort without being un- der contract.
 The Congressman spoke of big planes to come that will dwarf the largest now available. He said that "a California plant is working on ---------------

The W ashlngton
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = w AAC, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, is too new to have many hard and fast rules, but here is one: Mem bers cannot have baby.
 Genevieve Forbes Herrick, able executive assistant and press rela- tions chief to General Oveta Culp Hobby, firmly declared that "acts Of God" will not be recognized and pregnancy will automatically result in discharge from the Corps.
 WAAC is receiving hundreds of letters, telegrams and telephone calls from women desiring to en- list. but Mrs. Herrick emphasized that no recruits will be enlisted un- iii 450 officers have been trained probably in three months.
 Officers will be selected in the various Army Corps areas. Any woman between the ages of 2l and 45 may apply to an Army recruit ing station. The Army will select the officers.
 Most applicants so far are from the higher income groups-Junior League, OAR, etc, but WAAC hopes to draw it's personnel, both offi- cers and enlistees, from a wide so- cial and economic range.

BYRDLIKE ECONOMY

For two days last week Senator Harry F. Byrd led slashing Sen ate attack to halve all funds for the Farm Security Administration, which aids tenants and little farm CTS. The bitter attack got nowhere. The Senate slapped Byrd down by the overwhelming vote of 48 to 16.
 This was no new experience for the millionaire Virginia apple grower. Although frequently re- buffed, Byrd continues to be the No. l Clamorer for Economy-ex- .cept when it comes to certain per- sonal matters.
 For at the very. time he was raising a great economy hulla-

81 Days Adrift on a Raft
Gene Nearly Loses a Finger
Testing Water for Drift

When the brief rain was over we
again disrobed and wrung our
clothes. To us this was almost like
having a bath. The refreshment
braced us mentally and we chatted
fsirly merrily for perhaps an hour
until the heavy night began to press
again and stilled us.

Genes second watch came around.

he said as he settled on the forward

I was wishing for a bunk.
Gene Tests Water.
Gene wet his finger and held it
up to test the wind.
"Ain't hardly no breeze at ALL"
he said.
He leaned over the side and dipped
his hand in the water to see if he
could feel any drift.
His fingers had no sooner got into
the water than he let out an ago.

Gene was holding his wrist by the

asked.

Tony was up now.
"Jeez, is it bleeding7" he asked,
deeply concerned.
"Yes," Gene said.
It was obvious that Gene was
badly frightened, as indeed we all
were.
In the darkness we could not see
how badly he was bleeding. OF
course, under the circumstances
Gene believed his injury was worse
than it actually was-and it was bad
enough, indeed, to cause concern.
Fortunately, I had a handkerchief.
We bound his fingers, and the bleed
ing soon subsidized.
It was plain that Gene had been
badly bitten by something. We
agreed that it must have been

arrived, we saw that the wound had
bled surprisingly little, considering
the severity of the cuts.
The hand was badly lacerated.
Tooth marks showed plainly on the
fingers. The shark-if shark it was
had raked down his index finger,
cutting almost completely through
the nail in two places. The root of
the nail was so thoroughly mangled
that 1t was plain he would lose the
entire nail eventually.
I began to realize how badly we
needed some sort of medical kit.
