The publisher of this paper lived
in Minnesota for ten years before
coming to the State of washington.
Year or so ago the big Swedes from
Minnesota came out West to play
football at the University stadium
and the publisher found himself,
somewhat surprisingly, roofing for
the visitors although entirely un-ac-
uuainted with a single player, and
certainly through no feeling against
the local players. Something OF a
back home" feeling.
This week we are printing a story
concerning the loyalty of one OF our
local Jap residents. We're conVinc-
ed that the information regarding
the story is authentic-We believe
that as against the Germans in the
other war that his feeling was all
for this country-that he would
have borne arms and fought for it.
Perhaps he is still loyal to this
country, as he claims to be, but
we can't help but feel that he is
normal enough to root for the team
from "back home" when the two
clash.
Aside from this natural, normal
feeling, we are sure that there are
other conditions in this situation
which would create more than a
shadow of doubt. One of the
strongest of these is the japanese
religious slant; another is the
guild" or 'tong" las the Chinese
term their family organizations)
which involve retaliations on friends
and relatives still within Japan. An
other could be their civil training
and their Unborn feeling Of determ-
nation to become a dominant race
rather than the inferior one under
which they have so long chafed.
Inasmuch as it is impossible under
the above conditions to be able to
completely determine the loyalty Of
these people, we think it best to take
proper precautionary measures be-
fore any of our local Japanese are
put to the test We cannot afford
to take chances at this stage and
we are proud of the attitude the
local Legion post has taken in the
matter. Ill.,.

Several members of Congress who
voted for the bill to allow pensions
for Congressman declared after the
protest reached Washington from
the folks back home that when they
voted for the bill they did not know
what they were voting for. A good
many people have been ready to be-
lieve this of many of the members
of Congress on a number of occa-
sions in the past, and have even
gone so far as to say so, but this is
the first time that the members Of
CONGRESS have admitted it.

MARRIED WOMEN AGAIN

Not so many years ago it was con-
sidered wrong for married women
to work unless absolutely necessary.
Unpleasant remarks we've made
about those teachers who married
and continued to teach. If a man
was hiring an office worker he might
choose a single woman and let the
married ones stay at home and
keep house. That was the normal
course of life. The laws of nature
demanded that the place for a mar
ried woman was in the role of house
wife and mother, the laws of labor
called for married women to give
the single ones chance to fill the
vacancies. OF course there were ar
guments on both sides. ~..-.~
Today the picture has changed.
Those schoolboards that made rul-
ings against employing married
teachers have started to disregard
the laws and see what might be done
to fill vacancies for next year, since
there win be many unmarried wo-
men formerly wanting teaching jobs
working in other fields at higher
wages. This situation holds good in
other labor. There was hue and cry
over a 40 hour week in order to
keep more men employed and spread
the work around Today with the
shortage of labor, in increased de-
Tense production, there is a moving
away from the 40-hour week and al
tering of that rule. SO circumstances
alter the course and what was wise
yesterday may be out of reason to-
day. Keep your mind open and
ready for new suggestions and
changes.

The time is coming when the bess
ter high schools will not graduate
a boy without a fair knowledge OF
some trade. The boy may never fol-
low the trade as a vocation, but ii
will furnish him the ground work
for something to which to turn
when the need arises. Any skill that
trains the hands and mind to work
better together fits the individual
for every other skill. Mind and hand
coordination is alike in all skills. A
good mechanic can soon fit into any
job where mechanical skill isTe-
quired. .1.. ..f~..... ..s -.

TURN TOA FAITH

TURN TO "A FAITH
There is a heap of trouble around
about us and through this whole
world of ours, and since this is so
we are many returning to our
churches for comfort. AS times OF
prosperity find us too busy enjoy
ing our varied benefits, times OF
trouble catch us amiss and we find
the inner self neglected because OF
pleasures that have taken up our
time, business that has absorbed our
interest. We have omitted to use a
bit of our life for catching up with
our better selves and God. We have
failed to keep our faith in religion
intact. The need of sympathy fol
those in distress, of generosity when
others are sorely pressed, of en-.
,couragement when the going is
tough, is all covered by our partic.
ular belief in good and bad. 1t i
nice to know that in this land o!
ours we can choose that church
which we want to attend. There i!
always a period of quiet and medi'
tation when life outside has be.
come so involved and living is 81
full of difficulties that we need tt
retreat within ourselves. We nigh
try going back to our fathers faith
This getting back to religion is thu
idea of National Brotherhood Week
for in order to properly observe tn
occasion it would be necessary TO-
man to be brother to man only thru
understanding, tolerance and re
spect. This is your foundation TO
all faith in that God lis love AM
without love We would be sorrie
world than we are today.

ALASKA'S FISHING INDUSTRY,

Probably recent question has caused so much
anxiety and confusion and brought so many con-
flicting opinions from Government sources as that
of whether fishermen will be allowed this year to
pursue their trade in the waters of Bristol Bay and
the Alaska Peninsula west OF Kodiak Island.
There has been final report to the effect
that these waters will be closed this Neither
has there been any official report that would assure
the five thousand more Alaska residents who
depend on this areas fishing for their incomes that
they will be allowed to fish this year.
Some time ago the Maritime Commission an
nounced that there will not be sufficient shipping
available to take of the 1912 salmon operations
in this region Still later, Representative Henry M.
jackson of Washington said that he believed way
would be found to permit the normal fishing in
these waters Then, report from Fish and Wild
life Service officials last week, issued ON approval
of Secretary the Interior Harold L. Ickes stated:
Service officials in charge of regulating fishery
resources in Alaska expect the Territory to maintain

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

Yesterday was the 2l0th anniversary OF the birth
Of George Washington. the Father of Our Country
and the man who lead Americans in the most sue
cessful revolution the world has known, to establish
rules of living and governing upon which the United
States is founded.
Today has been set aside as a legal holiday in
observance of Washngtons birth. But in many
defense industries and governmental agencies en-
gagged in this countrys efforts, work will go on
as usual For today, the United States is engaged
in another great struggle to keep the principles for
which Washington fought in l776 from disappearing
into the gaping NAV of Axis aggression.
And it is indeed fitting and proper that this
countrys efforts towards ultimate victory should
continue through all holidays. especially Wash
ington's Birthday. Any grammar school pupil can
tell you that George washington led his troops to
one of the greatest victories of the Revolutionary
War when on Christmas in l776 he led his men
across the Delaware to capture thousand men
and some much needed equipment at Trenton
Not only is the United States battling to defend
its own lands but the lands of many other nations
who also adopted forms of government founded on
the principles expressed by the man who was first
in war first in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen."
