Friesland
Drive COMPLETED.

The drive for funds for Red Cross
war relief has been completed in
this township and a total of $8605
has been turned in by the treasurer,
Mrs. A. M. Price.
The soliciting for this sum was done
by Ralph Yocum, Florence Lund-
blade, Mrs. Maurice Moore and Mrs
Ralph Yocum. They did excellent
work and the committee for the next
drive will be appointed at the busi-
ness meeting to be held at the Fries
land schoolhouse Tuesday, February
3, at 2 p. m. At that time the knit
ting and sewing will be given out.
Since the time has been extended
to January 81 for sending in the
funds for Red Cross war relief, no
doubt other contributions will be re-
ceived in that time other than the
list published in this issue. The ad-
ditional names and amounts received
since that time will be published in
next weeks issue.

Fact And Opinion
DISLOYALTY IN MINNESOTA
By e. C.. Stengelsen.

1t appears that certain very patri-
otic gentlemen in the Administration
service in Washington have smelled
something in Minnesota which is an
offenSe to their super-sensitive and
super-patriotic noses. They have dis
covered that in certain sections of
the state, disloyalty is rampant.
1t is not that there have been overt
acts. The traitors have not gone
about their dirty work in any such
clumsy manner. What they have done
is to whisper. Specifically, they have
whispered that we should concen-
trate on licking Japan, turning sole
ly to our own use, for that purpose,
the output of our factories and the
efforts of our fleet. While engaged
in this chore, we'd politely tell Brit
ain to go hang as far as further lend
lease goods or other gratuities were
concerned. But having put Japan into
permanent cold storage, we'd reopen
our Santa Claus sack to Britain and
thereupon proceed to smite Hitler
hip and thigh.
Anybody can of course see with
half an eye that any such suggestion
is ipso facto traitorous For has not
Mr.. Roosevelt said that Hitler and
not Japan continues to be the main
show; that we are not to be dis
tracted from our main purpose, to-
wit: of laying Herr Adolf Schickel-
gruber by the heels. Mr.. Churchill
has agreed with Mr.. Roosevelt on this
point, very heartily. Mr.. Roosevelt
has also allowed that there will be
no Tightening of the drawstring on
the Santa Claus sack for Britain. On
this point as well, Mr.. Churchill has
| agreed-even more heartily
The FBI is keeping its ear to the
ground. We are warned that if there
is any more whispering about tackl-
ing Japan first and Hitler second,
we may expect their operators to
come swooping-or is it "snooping"?
| down upon us.
In fairness toward them, how
ever, let it be said that they have
promised to be tolerant toward us.
If purely personal opinions are ex-
pressed, they will be lenient about
it even if not outright forgiving. But
if a considerable number whisper
about taking on Japan first, it will
be taken as sign that it is the pro-
pagandists and fifth columnists of
the axis powers that are behind the
skullduggery, whereupon the FBI
will act accordingly.
can truthfully say that I am
quite in sympathy with the earnest
gentlemen who are determined to
nip this subversive movement in the
bud. But I can also say that I do
not think it is very original.
The axis powers thought of it be-
fore we did. They were first to
clamp down on those who dared ex-
press opinions different from those
held by their head of state. If, for
example, August Schmaltz, of Ham
burg, hinted that der fuehrer had
erred in not cleaning up the Medi-
terranean mess before tackling Rus
sia, Herr Himmler would probably
have sicked the OGPU at him and had
him chucked into the clink as a
character dangerous to the safety of
the State.
But however lacking in originality
it may be, it is nonetheless sound
precaution. This column hence rec
ommends to the garrulous that if they
feel an urge to express an opinion
concerning the conduct of the war,
and it happens to vary from Mr.
Roosevelt's notions, it might be safest

nave reported a 20 per cent

If the German troops

fought no better for having
had these pills, at least
they probably had more

bullion in Alaska. At the present time. as is well known. they are compelled to ship their gold to the assay office in Seattle or to the Mint in San Francisco. and pay all trans portation and insurance charges. In view of the fact that Alaska is a substantial gold producer and that comparatively little gold is obtain ed from the northwestern part of the United States. there Is much
 more reason for having an assay of flee in Alaska than there is for hay ing one in Seattle Accordingly Del egate DimOnd and Governor Gruen- ing took the matter up with Under Secretary of the Treasury. Daniel " Bell. and urged upon him the adYisabilify Of establishing an as say office in Alaska or. if that were found impracticable, of having one of the national banks in Alaska au- thorized to purchase gold for the Treasury, delivery to be made in Alaska. All the circumstances jus tifying this course were pointed out to Mr. Bell. and at the conclusion of the conference. he suggested that a memorandum on the subject be submitted. and this has been done. Mr Bell said that to the best Of his knowledge during his public life no bank had ever been authorized to purchase and accept gold for the Treasury. and that in case of the purchase of foreign gold. il has al- ways been required that deliveries be made in the United States He further commented, however. thz.

THEY COULD TAKE IT.

The war came home to Wrangell with the arrival of the Port Captain. We've all been doing our bit as best we could and we've been hear ing about regulations here and there in connection with war measures. We've seen a good many of our men going away to join the armed forces. But, heretofore, the war to many of us has been something apart.
 This week it came to town. It came in the form of necessary reg ulations laid down for the opera tion of fishing vessels and boats of all kinds. It came in the permits, licenses and Identification necessary for every person who has business along the waterfront the ship builder, the boat operator, the crew member and etc.
 While we have been hoping for just this thing, it came so suddenly that many of us on finding that 1t took time to get within the war time regulations, as every good Am erican wants to do, became a bit confused and impatient. Being hum an, consequently eager, We wanted to be up and away in pursuit of the fish or whatever other duties were ours. When we didn't get our permits in nothing flat we did what the boys in the Army call 'grous- ing" "grumbling," tbeefing, or whatever you chose to call it, all of which is in the good old American tradition of free speech and which, among other things, we are at this moment fighting to preserve.
 One thing we didn't do. We for got to remember. We forgot that there is only one Port Captain and one assistant to help him. We forgot to read the published regulations. We forgot that this nation is at war and consequently setups such as are now being established here are a problem which requires a great deal of time and effort to work out into a smooth functioning situation.
 Most important, we forgot in our EOHl uD4Ou anu AAA AbeAGACAANC bAAp5Ss great fighting Marines of Wake Is land: those heroes of Bataan; those courageous lads in blue who prowl the seven seas in search of the en- emy; those daring airmen who drop ped their bombs on Tokyo. Their missions were a whole lot tougher than waiting two or three days to get a permit to operate in a war zone Those lads on Bataan, with their food virtually gone, no chance of relief, more than half their num- Der wounded or killed, didn't squawk. They answered their last command to attack until they fell exhausted, wounded or dead. And all we have to do is be patient and do a little boat painting.

ON TIH1E WASHINGTON - FRONT -
E. L. Bartlett
 Acting Governor


WASHINGTON - During the past two weeks a number of con- ferences have been held with rep resentatives Of the War Production Board having charge of alloeations and priorities for mine operations. participated in by Governor Gruen- ing and Delegate Dimond. with a view of securing sufficient supplies and materials to guarantee contin- uous operations on present levels of Alaska mines. Both the Governor and the Delegate urged upon the representatives of the WIPE the high ly important position of gold. and platinum mining in the economy of the Territory and the dependence of the Territory upon the mining industry for a substantial part of the revenues. Through B. D. Stew art, Territorial Commissioner Of Mines, and Glenn Darlington, now in Washington. representing the AL aska Miners Association, and from several of the individual operators. it was possible to present to the representatives of the WIPE prae- tically all the requirements of the Alaska mining industry for 1942. amounting to something less than one thousand tons, exclusive of gas, oil and food supplies. It appears there will be no difficulty in secVr-' ing any of the material required ex- cept copper, nickel, tin, rubber and alloy steel, and even as to that, aska are so small and since the val ues to be produced by the use of those quantities are so large, it is expected that the Alaska industry will be supplied Although no out right promise of supply of Alaska requirements was made, the WIPE authorities said they would do their best to give Alaska what was need ed, especially in view of the fact that not very much was required for the 1942 operations.
 In case of the Alaska Juneau Mine, an arrangement has been made whereby the Company has agreed to concentrate at it's Juneau mill up to five hundred tons of chrome ore per day which is expee- ted to be produced near Kachemak Bay. It would not be practicable to operate the mill for the handling of the chrome ore alone and, there fore, in order to treat this ere,
