OUR BOYS COME BACK MEN

This week we became just a lit tie prouder of being an American. we became just a little more con vineed of early and thorough vic torv. and. we acquired the firm con viction that though the politicians may wait until after election and the bureauerats may mess around with their constant fight for power we have a bunch of lads in uniform who will see the thing through swiftly and effectively.
 This week back to town on fur lough came a couple of our lads who are in Uncle Sans army, typieally representative of the four or five million other American boys who are out there on the firing line so that a lot of the rest of us can stay home in comparative security SIX or eight months ago we knew them as a couple of the local boys, rear ed in this community, of pioneer Alaska stock, typical of million youngsters in the small towns of America.
 This week Lloyd and Hall came home for a visit; Lloyd Benjamin, son of Mrs. Charles Benjamin, and Hall Ferguson, son of MT. and Mrs. Harry Ferguson. But it wasn't just that Lloyd and Hall came home they brought something with them that typifies all of Wrangells other men who are serving in the armed forces as well as every mothers son on the fighting front. There was snap to their walk, military poisa in their bearing; determination written in their faces. As We looked into their eyes we had the feeling we would rather have those eyes looking through pair of sights for our side than be on the receiving end. We pictured in our minds eye squads, companies, battalions. reg iments, many divisions of lads just like them moving forward on a world front to do a job so this old world will be a better place to live in. We somehow acquired right there the firmer conviction that the job would be done, and well.
 There is a zest and a potent force emanating from these young Amer jeans the Army is molding into a fighting machine that grips one with the great striking power oi Americas men in uniform. These boys look the world in the eye,

The part which consumers should play in the enforcement of price control was sharply outlined in a radio address delivered this week by Mildred R. Hermann, Alas ka Director of the Office of Price Administration in Juneau. Calling upon all consumers of commodities and services to be vigilant in the matter of checking on prices, Mrs. Hermann pointed out that the en- foreement of the Price Control Act will be greatly simplified if every consumer does his part toward keep ing prices at an even keel.
 Tn the first place. she said, "be price conscious, study your prices from month to month. Our prices should now be fairfy well stabilized. They should not rise higher save on certain excepted items, and when Congress finishes it's task of passing the Anti-Inflation Bill there should

 Nine-tenths of the foods America produces and consumes were frozen this week under 60-day emergency order issued by the new Board Of Economic Stabilization, headed by James Byrnes, who resigned from the supreme bench to take over the job. Permanent ceiling prices for the duration will follow the emerg- ency order which enjoins all retail CTS. wholesalers, manufacturers and processOrs to charge no more than the highest price charged between September 2S and october 2, 1942. Only important foOdstuffs excepted from the order are fresh fish. most fresh fruit, vegetables and peanuts. which probably will be treated with later on a seasonal basis. This is the first concrete move to carry out the Presidents demand for a cell ing on farm prices. Byrnes. who is sued the Orded, said: We on the home front must unite in Waging an all-out war against any further increase in the cost of living for the American people Some may pro fit, but many will suffer as a re- suit of the new economy. This war must be fought not only on the battlefield but on the home front"

LANSING. June 23.-Col. Leroy
Pierson, quartermaSter general of
Michigan, today asked the state
budget office for a 81, 29l ,408 APP
to keep the Michigan
State Troops in operation during
the next fiscal year.
Pierson said the amount would
cover expenses for about 600 men
and officers on actual duty for
one year and provide for basic
needs of $500 other members OF
the troops. successors to the Mich
igan National Guard.
Itemizing his request, Pierson
estimated il would cost approx
mately 1885, 900 for salary needs OF
officers and men for one year and
approximately S438,000 for their
subsistence and transportation.
Leo Nowicki. state budget direc-
tor, revealed that the increase OF
pay of federal troops has also af-
fected the state and that higher
pay allowances would have TO be
made for both enlisted men and Of
ficers of the state organization.
Although the state established
S5,000.000 war chest by action OF
the legislature just last January
the sum has now dwindled to ST.

troops request would further re-
duce this amount to less than
$500 900, Nowicki said.

U. S. FRENCH AGREEMENTS PAY

The cooperation which the United
States is receiving in North Africa from
French officials in charge of the areas in
volved in our invasion, is a complete answer
to American critics of the attitude of this
country toward the French officials in
volved
1t is very easy for American citizens
to lambast the United Nations for ac-
cepting the cooperation of Admiral Jean
Darlan and his aides but the parents OF
every American participating in the great
venture must now realize that thousands of
American and British lives were saved bv
the agreements which not only prevented
more serious hostilities in the initial stages
of the occupation, but have created a favor
able situation in North Africa, obviating
the necessity of standing guard while our
armies go after the Germans in Tunisia.
There are other advantages that are
readily apparent. We have been given the
assurance that thousands of French soldiers
are ready to join in the fight upon the Ger
mans as soon as they are equipped. More
over, the Allied nations have acquired The
TGse of the important French West African
port'of Dakar and our planes will use the
airfields there as transit point.
In view of the great amount of discus,
sion that has centered around the possibili-
ty that the Axis might seize Dakar and thus
acquire an easy avenue of attack upon
South America, every American should
realize the tremendous strategic import
anee, of the use of this port From its har-
Dor, our patrols can operate against Ger
man submarines and the use of its harbor
facilities will facilitate the handling of our
supplies and material.
