the major Jap population in Calif- ornia are being followed here. There are & lot of little hotels to be liqui- dated or operated by the Federal Reserve Bank. For some reason or other great numbers of Japanese went in for hotel operation in the Northwest and there are any num- Der of second class hostelries to be taken care of by the authorities as the Japs retire. And there are the usual farmers and gardeners.
 There was 0 plaintive note in c dispatch from Vancouver published by one of the Seattle newspapers. It said that those who took pride in their flowe1 gardens were pointing out that the quality of the roses produced from now on would un- doubtedly not be us high aS in the past, with the Jap gardeners gone, There would be no one, said the dls- patch, to show the roses the tender and mysterious care given them by the Japs.

r. B. Ferguson about the n W highway to Alaska, and of workers arriving on the scene to start put ting 1t through. Then there are more stories of local disputes as to what route the highway shall fol- low and you realize that Seattle is just as close to tho Japs from Alaska as is Seattle to Alaska.
 It Is q flight of only s Ia or six hours from Seattle to Juneau, and three hours more to Fairbanks by Pan American. There are four flights week, If you should care to 90, but it would be advisable to look to your priority. Flying weather is fine, not only for you, but for Japs who might care to attempt to come that way. Tn other words, Seattle Is right under the gun.
 WARDENS WILL VISIT
 EVERY HOME
 With this realization, and q keen, active community spirit, Seat- tie has been working on It's civilian Defense during the past few months, Under the leadership Of William O, Mckay, the Municipal Defense Council is working closely with the state organization and system of cross entry of oil volunteers has been worked out to the point where almost any dog In Seattle or q watcher on the most remote hill con be contacted within no time at all
 Throughout the state 9B,000 volunteers are enrolled. Tn Seat- tie there are l8Bo0 enrolled air wardens, of whom one-third are trained. There are more than 1000 trained auxiliary flremen and mroe than l3,0o0 in the medi- cal units mostly trained, Three thousand are enrolled as auxiliary police, With more than 1000 trained. There are 5000 more volunt teers In miscellaneous groups, SO that the total volunteer organization for Seattle is more than 10000 or ten percent of the city's normal population.
