10TH CENTURY GROCERY ENDS
 CLOSE OUT SALE

E. F. Clements and w. R. Roden- berg, owners of the goth Century Grocery which closed on Saturday night after selling the entire stock, express appreciation for the fine patronage given the store since it was opened three years ago.
 The owners decided to close the store some weeks ago because MT. Clements is planning to enter the armed service in the near future and MT Rodenberg has been in Sitka on the staff of the North land Transportation Company since last March. Since announcing the imminent closing, a sale of stock has been carried out which ended on Saturday.
 Both partners had lived in Ju- neau for number of years be- fore going into the grocery busi- ness three years ago and opened one of the most modern and well stocked stores in Juneau.
 The 20th Century Meat Market, which was entirely separate from the grocery store, is remaining in business as usual in the same To- cation on Front Street.

Now visiting in Juneau while waiting transportation south is the Most Rev. Walter J. Fitzgerald, S.J., D.D., Coadjutor Bishop of the Catholic Church of Alaska, with headquarters in Fairbanks. Bishop Fitzgerald has just re- turned from several weeks visit in the Aleutian Island posts, where he has been visiting Catholic chaplains in the armed forces. He went at far as Umnak, where he stayed for a week, weather bound During his stay at Umnak, Bishop Fitzgerald reports, activi- ties were shrouded in secrecy, but now he can safely say. for the Navy has announced it, that in tensive operations were then being carried on which resulted in the occupation by United States forces of a new base 150 miles from Kiska.
 Morale Is High
 The morale of the men in the Aleutian outposts is high, Bishop Fitzgerald says All of the men are thinking only of ending the war as soon as possible and are doing all in their power to do so.
 During the last few months, Bishop Fitzgerald has visited many of the 24 priests acting as chap lains in the Army throughout the Territory.
 Is Going East
 He is now on his way to Wash ington, DC, to attend a meeting of Bishops, but he hopes to return to the Territory by Christmas. Bishop Fitzgerald is the first man, born in the State of Washington to be consecrated Bishop. He was born in Peola, Wash, in the Spo- kane Diocese and since his conse- cration in 1889, he has travelled all over Alaska by boat, train, air. plane and dog team. He once con- firmed a group of 116 Eskimos at. Tununak, Nelson Island, in one service.
