Delaware and most of the DeImarva
Peninsula are in good shape from

from sunrise until dark work in

INGvALD MARTIN, JUNEAU RESIDENT,
 DIES IN SEATTLE

Ingvald Martin, long a Juneau resident, died yesterday in Swedish Hospital in Seattle after having gone south for medical treatment a week ago, although doctors held out little hope for his recovery.
 MT. Martin, who was in his sev- enties, had no relatives here, and it is believed most of his family is still in Norway.
 Although he had been resident of Juneau for many years, he was quiet and seldom spoke of his private life. A carpenter by trade, he slowly accumulated more and more property, building houses on the lots, and renting them.
 It is estimated that he owned the whole of the hillside between Lower Gastineau Avenue and Low CT Franklin Street near the City Dock, and probably owned about 25 or 30 houses there, which he rents.
 He had been a member of the Lutheran Church in Juneau ever since it's organization some Is years ago.
 News of his death was received in telegram to Mrs. Andrew Ros- ness and she was asked to notify his friends here. Nicholas Fleiness, believed to be an uncle, is handling arrangements in Seattle and the funeral was set for October 26 in the Home Undertaking Company there.

 In the first place, the Presi- dents need to get away from the daily routine of wartime in the White House must be apparent to any one who gives a thought to the facts.
 Except for dedication junket into Maryland, a few days at Hyde Park, and an occasional auto ride near the capital, Roose- welt has been his own prisoner of war since before Pearl Harbor. Early and late, day in and day out, he has gone through the daily White House round with never change of scene to aid relaxation.
 Add to this monotony, the great responsibility which falls on any chief executive in wartime and multiply it by the stupendity of this global war
 That is something the President can't escape, no matter how many trains he takes, but by changing the scene, he perhaps has been able to readjust the load he's car rying.
 As for his reason for visiting production plants and training centers, those close to him have even simpler explanation.
 The Presidents interest in pro- duction - whether it be of ma chimes of war or of the trained soldiers and sailors who will man them in battle-is keen. He likes to see the wheels go around and to watch the assembly lines rolling them off
