Russian Village, l942
CNew York Times,

CNew York Times
 Ralph Parker writes to The Times about one of the many regained villages on the Russian front This one has common grave in the park, in which are buried soldier and civilian victims of the Nazi listed the of the dead and the items of dam age done to property--a total of 75,000000 rlbles
 The villages of classic Russian fiction were full of people who got drunk on Saturday night, stole each others wives, and murdered each other. They were sunk in poverty and sloth. This village was organized like factory. When the Germans came the inhabitants evacuated all the cattle and ma chimes they could. Then the able-bodied men took to the woods guerrillas. When the Germans were driven out the people returned and recon structed their lives within the ruins. They did not sit up nights wondering whether life worth while
 party Communist will believe that such mir acles are caused by the doctrines of Marx, Lenln and Stalin The fall of the CZaristic system certain ly gave them a chance to happen But what an ordinary American will is great people awak- ened by contact with Western technology The first Russian tractors and the first Soviet farms broke down, regardless of Marx, Lenn and Stalin Now the tractors the farms the villages the industries and the army are good enough to beat the Germans There had to be desire for freedom and dignity, but the men who invented the electric dynamo, the gasoline engine the flying machine and the reapng combine and the scientists who learned the secrets of chemistry and physics certainly had more to do with creating the Russia than did the economic and social theorists.

SWEDEN WARNED

The Nazis are still trying to convince their own people and the people of other European countries, that the Allied offensive move in North Africa has been strongly contested and resented by the natives both French and otherwise But reports of the invasion" fail to bear this out The only real resistance has been the part of Germany and Italy and Italian resistance has been half hearted
 Recently, Sweden was warned by the German newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter to beware of foreign guests if the country wants to protect itself from the fate of North Africa"
 This warning came after the that direct radio photo service between Sweden and the United States has been established Stockholm papers pub lished pictures of Americans in action Guadal- canal Commenting these, the Nazi newspaper said:
 Such apparatus can probably be used for other things beside innocuous rado-photos Sweden should watch her foreign guests closely to prevent them from causing trouble if the country wants to protect itself against the fate of North Africa"
 The fate of North Africa compared to the fate of France, isn't so bad right now We don't believe Sweden is worrying about her foreign guests"
 Sweden has been making no bones about where she stands Even though there is a Nazi party oper ating in Sweden under the of the Svensk Sociaistisk Samling Its leader, Sven Oof Lndholm, recently nicely slapped in the face by the swed ish newspapers which are printing pictures from Guadalcanal
 Lndhom attempted to capitalize the fact that he was among the many who attended re- cent general audience granted by King Gustaf V.
 At this audience, Lndhom handed the King document explaining his partys political aims, emphasizing it's allegiance to the King of Sweden. The document placed flle.
 Lindholm then rushed to give out the news that he had given the document to the King But the Swedes knew that the event was meant to have any political significance because it is the time

PLAYING POLITICS

Vice President Wallace, wh 0 doesn't get mad easily was so irked at the undercover Iowa poli- tics played by the War Production Board and the Office of Price Ad- ministration appointees that he wrote letters about it to Donald Nelson and Leon Henderson.
 In Iowa, Henderson and Nelson magnanimously accorded Gov George Wilson the appointment of OPA and VILE local officials. Later. Republican Wilson turned round and ran for the Senate against Democratic incumbent Clyde Herring
 During the campaign, OPA and WIPE officials were reported work ing under cover against Herring and for Governor Wilson, the man who appointed them Price Ad- ministration officials, for instance, were reported giving the wink to people who were protesting against gasoline rationing, and saying that the thing to do was clean house in Washington
 Henry Wallace, hearing these re- ports, passed them on in no uncer- tain terms to Nelson and Tender son. #@ fs
 NOTE-One reason why Tender sons name is mud on Capitol Hill is the fact that he permitted Re- publican governors to appoint OPA officials who DID mix in politics. If they had kept out, the kicks would not have reached the pres ent stage where Hendersons future political value isn't worth wood- en nickel

Food for Alaska
tU of Alaska Collegian)

tU of Alaska Coleglan)
 One of the finest things about patriotism, deyo- tion to the welfare of ones country is that 1t can find expression in ones every thought ana acl Right thinking plus right doing gets right results
 There are broad fields on both sides of our great highway of opportunity One is deserving of special consideration because it has to do with food, and in war food is a winning weapon, Every pound ol food that Alaska can produce for home consumption ought to be produced In 1940 over 1,750 tons of white potatoes were shipped into the Third and Fourth Divisions This is just one item. The pro- ducing power of the agricultural industry in Alaska is enormous It extends to beef, mutton, pork ana poultry; to butter eggs milk and cream to barley oats rye and wheat to all the harder vegetables which can be produced by the thousands of tons and to berries in immense quantities.
 Every ton of supplies produced in Alaska foF home consumption means that much more shlppln3 space available for our armed forces in the field. And too it means more available space for necessary supplies that can not be produced in the Territory can be a positive asset agrculturally. To fail to produce in these days of the greatest need IS to be- come resolved into liability The ton of home grown food products in Alaska can mean another ton of bombs to help win the war
 The work being done at our agricultural experiment stations and in cooperative extension service will be extended in every way possible It makes for how best to accomplish the task of de- veloping an industry that is vital to our obligation in helping to win the Patriotism and the blow are nowerful partners.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not cOmpeW
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24

The afternoon of today isiunder benefic aspects which are stimulat- ing and inspiring The morning hours may be conducive to haste and restlessness. if
 HEART AND HOME: This is a day most favorable to the men of the family and seems to presage for them confidence and courage. The date is fortunate for reunions and religious gatherings which should be this year peculiarly memorable. The seers declare that the birth of new order of social and economic con- sciousness is in process. In the fu- ture, evolution which has been long material and physical must be cen- tered in the spiritual development of mankind
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Frantic last minute buying this year will be as general as in the past Merchants will be fortunate in the unusual rate of their profits. Bankers and financiers will deplore American spending which cannot be widely restricted despite Government pleas and safeguards The stars presage increase in systematic buying of war bonds when the new year begins. Tn the next few days events will stir the nation to all-out patriotism. i, NATIONAL ISSUES: The peace on earth, good will to man spirit will have deep meaning as Amer jeans celebrate Christmas. Training of our young men in uniform will have encouraged understanding of true democracy and the holidays i will inspire splendid unity of pur- pose that supplements patriotic zeal, There is a sign read as indicating for this evening a memorable event ! in which a national figure stands out appealipgly. Warning is given of subversive activities in novel guises.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: Mars eliminating in Washington seems to presage serious problem l to be solved this week in the White House. Storms along the Atlantic coast will increase the hazards of our supply ships and other vessels engaged in transportation. Starving thousands in Europe and Asia will receive vast cargoes of food but there will not be any way of pre- venting a rising death rate among war victims Outbreaks of epidemics of typhus and bubonic plague will extend danger of contagion to the United States.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of changes which may include losses but there will be ultimate success and happi- ness.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and persistent in pursuing success They should be keenly intelligent and dependable.

DOUGLAS STARTS ON T..
 CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
 WITH PROGRAM AT SCHOOL

The Douglas School gave it's an- nual Christmas program last eve ming, consisting of a'play, Why the Chimes Rang" and music ap- propriate for Christmas time, open ing the Yuletime celebration in Douglas.
 The program opened with tn e Boys Glee Club giving several se- lections, followed by the Girls Glee Club singing Birthday of a King, "Cantique Noel" Swift Der the Waters" Virgin Island and several of the carols. A group of carolers consisting of girls from the primary and intermediate grades sang several songs.
 The play concerned a small peasant boy who dreams one eve ming while sitting in his humble home with an old woman, that he is in great cathedral. When he goes to offer his Christmas gift at the altar among all the others from rich and poor alike, the chimes begin to ring. It has been many years since they have rung and only a gift of real love and truce sacrifice can cause them to do so s7f
 A few of the important charac- ters are Holgar, the poor peasant boy, played by Dick Mccormick Steen, his younger brother, Benny Havdahl; Bertel, the uncle, Ralph Kibby the old woman, Doris Ba- log; and the priest, Billy Devon. During the tableau section the Boys Choir sang Christmas Night Christmas Legend Song of Shepherds" and "Luthers Cradle Song" The Junior Girls Chorus

the Alaskan Highway were bedded down in long, dorrnitory- like barracks. Outside, the temperature was well below zero. Inside, a Ne gro private had been assigned to keep the fire going all night.
 Brig Gen. James A. O'Connor, commanding the Northwest Serv- ice Command, which constructed the highway, had rolled up in his sleeping bag when the soldier came into the barracks, souvenir pro gram of the ceremonies sticking out of his back pocket
 For several moments he eyed the generals quiet form, then he walked over and gently shook the sleeping bag
 General, suh,' he said, will you put yuh name on my program for me?"
 General O'Connor pushed back the flap of the sleeping bag, blinked his eyes.
 "Whatd you say. young man?"
 The soldier repeated his re- quest
 Sure I will" said the general
 So, climbing out of his sleeping bag in his long underwear, the commanding general put on his spectacles. got his fountain pen from his jacket, and autographed the program.
 Canadian Cabinet Minister Ian Mackenzie and Ed Bartlett. Secre- tary of Alaska, watched the incl dent from their own sleeping bags.
 Said Bartlett:
