Time ever marches on, and with it's marching the with the changes joys and sorrows to our friends and those that we love. Such a change to all real Alaskans the other day in the passing of one who for many many years has been indeed true son of the great North beloved and respected by all both old and young John Troy carved for himself name for honesty and square dealing that will long be remembered in this great Northland of ours
 Dean Rice made no mistake when he said at the services, We here to mourn the loss of one of the best and most beloved Governors the Territory ever had" But we whose privilege it has been to know him these many years could go further than that and say that he was ard had been for years Alaskas chief and most public spirited citizen the friend of all-rich poor-ever the champion of the oppressed and ready to do everything within his pow CT to a wrong lighted.
 He had been travelling down the sunset trail for some time before he finally slipped around the last bend from which of Us may return. May that trail be an easy one, and may he find the rainbow for which all hope at its end.
 And so John-old frend-so long, and if in your passing there be ray of sunshine for those who are still here it is that you will be there to help many odtime sourdough the last summit just you have helped them the rough spots here.
 And to you dear friend, say-we touch our hearts the Fasteners do May the peace of Allah abide with you. Now and always.

 The late John w Troy was of the very few Governors of Alaska who had learned to know the Territory appreciate it's needs and possibilities by actual residence of many years Because of this and the attributes of fine character and good judg- ment, his sx-year tenure, terminated by illness in l939 will be recorded in history about the most intelligent administration Alaska has ever had
 The powers of local government in Alaska have always been limited. and today. From the time of acquisition in l867 when Prince Maksoutoff last of the Russian Governors retired the area was un- der American military rule for IT years In 1884 Alaska was given territorial government and it's first American Governor John H. Kinkead, was sent in from Nevada.
 Thereafter every Governor "sent in" from somewhere, with, as we remember only two excep- tions The governorship was generally booted about as bit of political patronage of the party in power An appontee usually took the first steamer out as soon as successor had been named.

 The remedy prescribed by Drs Ross and Rehner is very simple also very similar to that prescribed by the Navy-chiefly eye-exercise plus plenty of carrot juice.
 The exercise includes moving the eyes sidewise, then up and down then diagonally for fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen min utes at night After this, the Navy prescribes massaging the closed eyes with large sewing thimblt for five minutes.
 Drs. Ross and Rehner also ad- wise using the eyes outdoors to look around as much as possible without turning the head What the eyes need, they say, is plenty of muscu- lar exercise, for eyes are like lel muscles, arms or anything else.
 The two doctors paid tribute tc the eagerness of hundreds of young men to get into the service, ano so these scientists are working nights to do their part to heir them.

Though he had been in failing health for several years, the death last Saturday in Juneau of former Governor John w Troy at the age of 73 brought universal sadness to Alaskans, because he was one of them: of the first. The largest funeral pro- cesson recorded in Alaska which attended the last rites Wednesday in the Capital City token of the high esteem in which he was held by his countless friends throughout the north.
 Troy became Governor with the first Roosevelt term and served until two years ago when ill health forced him to retire. He probably of the best informed in Alaska affairs to sit in the Governors chair To bis office trekked the rich and the poor, the hale and the lame It was said of him, and sound premise, that he always had his hand in his pocket to help somebody out No old timer, particularly left the Governors office without having his troubles at least eased; often solved.

 John w Troy had not been actively engaged in editing the Daily Alaska Empire at Juneau since his appointment Governor of Alaska back in 1933 Nevertheless he was properly known the dean of Alaskan newspapermen. His imprint on the Empire and on the Democratic Party of Alaska import factors in the growth and development of Juneau and the Territory
 Up to the time when failing health curbed his activities MT. Troy was a real force in Alaska
 In his many years as a newspaperman, MT. Troy fought progressively for betterment of the Territory. Many of the things he advocated have come to pass
 In his last years, it must have been source of satisfaction to him that Alaska was at last getting some of the recognition that he so long had urged it entitled to-

ing that Association officials were

"The Association does not and
never has gone into state cleo
tions," it was stated at the New

have $4,000 to send anywhere,
much less to- send to a state like
South Carolina to try to control
an election. Judge Blease is
obviously confused, and probably
had in mind the aggressive action
of the Columbia, s. c. NAACP
which has raised $4,000 to promote
it's fight against the exclusion Of
Negroes from participation in the
Democratic primary elections in
