 The other day ran across statement from the National Fire Protection Association that during the first three months of the year there were 20 fires in the United States that did more than S125,O00 damage. There were only eight during the same period last year and 42 during the whole year 1941.
 The same day I found a statement by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI. He said: There have been sev- eral acts of wiIful damage, but dur ing the first three months of Amer ica's participation in the war there have been no indications Of any foreign-directed sabotage"
 This seemed to me to bespeak a dangerous situation, so I called on Dr. David J Price of the Depart ment of Agriculture's Bureau of Az ricultural Chemistry and Engineer ing. Dr Price is a Vice president of the Fire Protection Association and has been called on to investigate several disastrous fires and explo- sions, among them the New London Texas school explosion in 1887.

TlHIlR@UGH TE1E POLITICAL
 PEIRISGOPE
Q

Alaska cast last Tuesday in it's primary election what probably will turn out to be one of the smallest votes in many years in the Territory.
 The larger centers showed a pitt ful interest in the election and the smaller precincts probably won't help the total showing a great deal. To the world, unfortunately, it will tend to show that Alaska hasn much of a voting population, but actually a primary is never wholly indicative Many voters hesitate to declare their party choice which is necessary at the primary. They pre- fer not to be on record as affili- ated with any party, which is one of the bugaboos of the direct primary. This doesn't, however, explain away the light vote in Tuesdays primary. The real reasons, probably, are the war and lack of outstanding con tests without a paramount issue at stake. War-minded voters just didn't bother about the election. There wasn't a contest for any of flee in which any vital problems concerning the Territory were an issue. It was just a matter of per sonal preference. Result is a pitt ful showing of voting strength in Alaska.
 Best indication that Alaska vo- ters are alive to the national pie ture was the fine complimentary vote given Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond. Though he had no opposition and was automatically elected, as al- so was Treasurer Oscar G. Olson, the big comparative vote cast for the Delegate reveals that not only are Alaskans appreeiative of the fine work he has been doing but they want to keep him on the job in this national crisis when ability, cour- age and experience are vital.
 The mail reveals that Democratic

 The outcome of this bill is doubt ful in view of an adverse report by Interior Secretary Ickes Dimond be- lieves that it will pass Congress. Whether it will receive the appro- val of the President Is somewhat more doubtful.

 Two mining bills of interest to Alaska mining men are having an airing before Congress. One appar- entity will pass. and the other just maybe.
 The first bill. HR. 6295. was re- ported without amendment and re- lates to the suspension of annual assessment work as 10 all valid min ing claims in the United States. in cluding Alaska which are situated within the exterior limits of any area withdrawn by executive order for purposes of national defense. This suspension. if the bill is passed and approved. will remain in force and effect until the end of the as sessment year during which the ex- eeutiYe order of withdrawal is va cated by the President or by Act of Congress. This measure has the ap- proval Of the Secretary of the In terior on the grounds that it would be dangerous for the claimants to perform annual labor on the claims during the period of the emergency as it is probable that continuous military activity will be in effect in the areas withdrawn by executive order If is anticipated that + R. 6295 will be passed and approved without objection.
 The second bill. H. R. 6604. Providing for the suspension of annual assessment work on mining claims held by location in the Un- ted States. the application of which concerns the Territory to a greater degree than does H. R. 6295, was amended in the Committee report made by Delegate Dimond, to in elude the Territory and reads as follows:
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representative of the Un- ited States of America in Congress assembled, That the provision of section 1924 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which requires on each mining claim located, and until a patent has been issued there for, for not less than $100 worth of labor to be performed or improve ments aggregating such amount to be made each year, be, and the same is hereby, suspended as to all mining claims in the United States, including the Territory of Alaska, during the years beginning at 12I o'clock meridian July 1, 1941, and ending at 12 o'clock meridian July 1, 1943: Provided, That every claimant of any such mining claim, in order to obtain the benefits of this Act, shall file, or cause to be filed, in the office where the loca- tion notice or certificate is record ed, on or before 12 o'clock meridian July 1, 1942, and July 1, 1943, al notice of his desire to hold said mining claim under this Act: Pro- vided further, That such suspension of assessment work shall not apply to more than six-lode mining claims held by the same person, nor to moreI than twelve lode-mining claims held by the same partnership, associa-

final $4,000 payment on Kent Coun-

which was passed at special cleo

Tax payments, since that time,
have been hard but the general opin-

The issue built most of the nine foot

who remember these muddy roads
can appreciate the value of the issue.

FROM OUR

TWO MILFORD BOYS
MEET IN FAR EAST

Mrs. George Manloye, wife Of for
mer State Representative George
Manlove. of South Walnut street, Mil
ford. received a letter last week from
her son, Ted Manlove, who is serving
with the u. S. Armed Forces in the
Far East. Enclosed with the letter
which Mrs. Manlove kindly allowed
the Milford Chronicle to reproduce,
was a picture of Ted and another
Milford youth now serving with the
colors. Paynter Sharp, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Garfield Sharp, of near Mil
ford.
BOYS in the Army from a small
citv like Milford do not meet every
day, especially when they are $4,000
miles from home, so the Milford
paper reproduced the photo of these
two Milford boys, who are fighting
for YOU and me and thousands Of
miles away.
The letter follows:

Dear Mother:

and also the DUPONT paper, ms
surprised " see M picture 10 II
have not received any letters fur
quite some time. Ny mail has fallen
off for some reason.
Well, 1 finally met Paynter Sharp
in town the other day. He hasn't
changed in any way, same old Payn-
ter, full of fun. He sure is a grand
guy. We did more talking than any
thing else. l guess I met him lit
tie late, as he tells me that he will
soon be on the move again. was
sorry to hear it, as 1 enjoyed myself
more than any time since | left the
East Coast and that covers plenty of
time.
Paynter suggested that we have
our picture taken together and
thought it would be nice if you had it
put in the Chronicle-how two home
town boys met somewhere in the Pa
cific War Front.

a short letter, but as you know !

count of being censored. l will sign

Well, Nom, you and Dad take care
of yourselves, bye-bye.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LESSON-SERMON FOR
 SERVICES ON SUNDAY

At the Church of Christ, Scien- tist, on Sunday the subject is Truth"
 The following excerpts from the Lesson Sermon are taken from the Bible: For this is the. covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; will put my laws into their mind. and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (Hebrews, III John).
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: It is essential to un- derstand. instead of believe, what relates most nearly to the happi- ness of being. To seek Truth through belief in a human doctrine is not to understand the infinite. We must not seek the immutable, and immortal through the finite, mutable, and mortal, for this $ fatal to a knowledge of Science The understanding of Truth gives full faith in Truth. and spiritual understanding is better than all burnt offerings.
