Skagway Plays Fast

But thele was no holding the Skagway boys. And Juneau could- mt find the basket. The Panthers harried the local marksmen every time they shot. then froze the ball in floor to slow town the pace and take off any edge the Bears had left.
 It was keen floorwork and the experience of five-man squad used to working together that beat Juneau; the invaders from Lynr Canal just knew too much about basketball for the younger Juneal team.

| Local boards throughout the Territory of Alaska are preparing for the Selective Service registra- ton on February 16, Acting Gov ernor E. L. Bartlett announced to- day. On that date will be regis tered all male persons residing within the Territory of Alaska who have attained their twentieth birth day on or about December 31, 1941, and who have not attained their forty-fifth birthday on February Is. 1922, and who have not hereto fore registered.
 Registration must be made at the registration place of the local board area in which the regis trant resides or happens to be be- tween the hours of ? am. and g pm. This registration place may te local board office or other pub lie place or office designated by the local board of the area in which the registrant resides or happens to be on registration day.
 Any registrant at the forthcom- ing registration who has more than one place of residence may choose which one he wants re- corded as his place of residence to designate. the local board that will always have jurisdiction over him, MT. Bartlett stated.
 It was emphasized, however, that no transient address may be re- corded and that Selective Service Regulations prohibit any interfer- ence or dictation by registrar when a registrant who has more than one place of residence is mak- ing his choice as to which he de- sires recorded as his home address.
 Tt is the intent of the law and the purpose of Selective Service Regulations" MT. Bartlett assert ed, that each man be registered at his home address and be sub- ject to call to fill quotas from that local board. That is a basic prin- ciple of democratic procedure and I expect every Selective Service registrar in the Territory of Alaska to adhere to it strictly"
 Registration cards to be used February Is will contain spaces for the registrant to list both his place of residence and his mail address. This may be the same as his place of residence or it may be another address where the registrant will receive his mail more readily
 The mailing address can be changed when necessary and To- cal boards will send their notices to the mailing address without re- gard to place of residence. While the mailing address is subject .o change whenever the registrant moves, MT. Bartlett pointed out, registrars are instructed to warn the registrant that once he desig- mates his place of residence he ir- revocably designates the local board which will have continuous juriS- diction over him.

THE STORY so FAR: Con Cameron
Is arrested as a robber and murderer
when he rides alone into the town of
Tivan. Someone had seen him on the
trail with three fugitives, Lee Welsh and
the two Raniers. They were just casual
acquaintance Con picked up in From
teras, but circumstantial evidence is
against him. The marshal, Nevil Lowe,
apparently does not know that Con is the
cowboy who saved his life a few days
before in Wild Horse, when Lowe was
nearly killed in a quarrel with Asa Brock,
Dynamite Downes, marshal of Wild
Horse, and a deputy called GEL Mu-
chacho." Now Jailed as a suspect, Con
tells Lowe to wire Wild Horse and have
his old trail boss, Buzz Upperman, or
his pal, Caramba Wear, identify him.
Lowe does so, but neither Upperman
nor Wear can be located. So Con and
another prisoner, JEFF AIlmon, know their
only chance is to escape. They have just
succeeded in dropping to the ground
from window in the supply room.

lied, and if / decide to marry Jay
it may embitter him for life.
ga hundred times he has said to
me, oh, why, why, why, does il
have to be this way? Why you, of all
women?' Of course that is what my
own heart echoes. But twice lately,
Robert has used the expression, If
you feel you must pay the debt Will
you tell me what you think and
help one more distracted woman to
peace?"
Judging from your letter, Vera,
l would say that life with Robert
might be a rather rigid affair. It
seems plain that this self-controlled
conscientious man is having the sort
OF battle between the spirit and the
flesh that comes only to religious
persons. He is in love with you, and
1t is his first love, and so overwhelm-
ing and painful.
Robert undoubtedly thinks that
Jay has claim upon you, that you
pledged him wifehood when you
yielded to him in that early affair.
And that nagging conviction will
grow stronger after marriage, when
the first wild glamour dies and he
discovers that you are human, and
can make mistakes and be trouble
some and disappointing like any 9TH
er wife.
So l wouldn't marry Robert if
were you. If !, the more easy-going,
cheerful Jay is sympathetic to you,
and you can imagine yourself as
making a good mother to his child
and working out happy normal life
for yourself as his wife, then why
not tell Robert once and for all that
you see the justice of his attitude
and that you have determined to
make the only reparation in your
power for your youthful mistake.
This will make him feel heroic and
that you both are committed to the
dutiful and self-sacrifcing course.
Success Rests With Vera.
But if your decision meets with
violent opposition from Robert, and
he implores you to forget the past
and go on with him into a more
honorable future, then of course you
might relent and accept the more
distinguished destiny. A faultless
husband is fearful and wonderful
thing, so be sure that you are re-
luctantly talked over, if you decide
to be talked over. 1t might be that
in the future you will be glad to re-
mind him that your decision was
made to marry Jay, when Robert
persuaded you otherwise.
With either man, the success or
failure of the marriage rests with
you. With Jay you probably would
have cheerful companionship, more
laughter, more of the unexpected
than with Robert. But with Robert
you would have wealth, position, the
power young wife with both can
WELD, and the knowledge - very
much to your credit-that you did
not conceal anything from him and
that he contracted this marriage
with his eyes open to your early
history.
think you are safer with Jay, for
I distrust wealthy and important
gentlemen of SO who have never
looked at woman with love and
longing. That phrase paying the
debt" rather chills me. It is not for
any one of us to say.
Robert could never had said that
If he did not feel in his heart that it
was your duty to pay this debt. Since
Jay, being the partner of your early
indiscretion, can hardly reproach
you with it, and since you can do Jay
and his small girl great service in
making happy home for them, I'm
inclined to vote in favor of Jay.

Continued from Page D the top place on the ticket would so to Congressman Joseph E. Tal- bot of Naugatuck, whose victory in the special election in the Fifth District January % gave 8 new impetus to the Republican state campaign.
 Behind the start of the Bren- nan-for- Governor is a combination of circumstances that is reminis- cent of the Democratic party situ- ation of 1940. Tn that year ex- Governor Wilbur l.. Gross delayed announcement of his candidacy for so long that 8 drive to win the nomination for Robert A. Hurley had gained irresistible momentum before he declared himself can didate. This year, some sources argue, MT. Baldwin has done the same thing. Ordinarily the with drawal of Mir. Baldwin would mean clear path for Congressman Tal- bot, but in recent days state Re- publican circles have seethed with reports that the new congressman would prefer to run for a full term in the House at Washington, per- haps to be a candidate for U. s. senator in 1924.
 Popular COP Leader
 Commissioner Brennan, whose name has been before the public in recent months in connection with reports of his pending resigation to become "cZar" of the wholesale liquor idustry in the state, is one of the most popular Republican leaders in the state. He has not been afraid to buck the "organiza- tion", and his political courage has won him many friends.
 Cited in his favor by his SUD- porters is the argument that the Republicans will have little chance to carry the state this fall unless they have an Irish Catholic candi- date, who has the support of both liberal and conservative clements.
 MT. Brennan, after serving in both branches of the General Assem- bly,, was appointed chairman of the Liquor Control Commission in 1889. While in the Senate he was voted by state political reporters as the 'best state ticket tin1ber".

When that fails = an ODT spokesman inti- mated that it was expected to wall - actual rationing will begin.
 Under tentative proposals now be- ing discussed, here is how travel rationing would work:
 Need to travel - before tickets would be sold, person would have to demonstrate that his travel was necessary for either the war effort or for vital civilian activities.
 Administration - preliminary dis- cussions favor using the carriers themselves as the administrative agencies rather than local rationing boards.
 Short trips - an attempt will be made to eliminate these from the overall program. 4 neighborhood area probably would be set up in which there would be no restrictions. Such an area might vary from rela- lively few miles in the crowded east to several hundred miles in less populated areas. One official said, however, that in areas where trans portation pressure is greatest 1t might be necessary to eliminate all non essential travel.

 Sails Into Suarez Bay

word had been received from Mada- gascar since last night when dis- patches reported the situation of French forces as critical.
 The last word from the island said French and Madagascar troops were fighting tenaciously in the in- ner defenses of the Diego Suarez area against a British land. sea and air attack of overwhelming force.
 Twenty three British warships and transports, i've large, 12 aver. age and six small, were now in Courier Bay on the west side of the Ambre Peninsula, in support of the picked troops who attacked Diego Suarez and AntSirane by the back door, thus neutralizing the Vichy coastal guns.
 Violent bombardments by British planes and warships continued throughout yesterday, dispatches said, as the British sought to over- whelm the Vichy garrison and stop their own mounting losses.
 It was indicated that the British had penetrated the outer defenses of Diego Suarez and fought their way across the wooded, park-like promontory to the inner fortifca- tions of the town which according to reports the Vichy forces still held.
 Can't Hold Out
 Admittedly it was unlikely that the Vichy forces could hold out long against a determined attack, be- cause they had but small supply of munitions.
 Messages from Governor General Armand Leon Annet promised that the garrison, under Gen. Alfred Paul Guillemet and Col. Edward Claerecout, commanding the Diego Suarez Notifications, would fight to the last.
 A communique last night had re- ported & French counter-attack, launched by 8 landing party from the navy sloop D'Entrecasteaux, had driven the British from several of their positions and that the French had shot down three British planes, destroyed seven tanks and taken prisoners including four officers.
 But it was indicated that the Vichy forces, outnumbered and out- gunned, hoped only to slow the British advance and, if Diego Suarez and Antsirane were lost, to retire into the mountains at the base of the peninsula.
