LEGION MEETS

The regular weekly meeting of the American Legion, Post 13, was held Tuesday evening August Il at the Castle. Charlie Whittimore presided. Plans for the coming convention were completed and the skids were greased up-to make the convention one that will long be remembered by those visiting delegates.
 Speaking of this convention brings up the point of entertaining the service men in the Sitka area-the Legion quarters are NOT large enough to handle the crowds that are coming over to the regular Wednesday evening "open house" parties sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary and held at the Castle in the Legion Club Rooms. For in- stance, look at the list of the women present at the party Aug. 5. The following Sitka women were there:
 Misses Elaine Doolittle, Marjorie Moore, Helen Moore, Kay Herman, Marie Treschield, Althea Bands, Margaret Bands, Barbara Bands, Betty Cleaves, Marian Hussey, Mary Fox, Lois Peterson. Dorothy Loy Miss Dobley, Ollene Elvigion, Laura

BOND SALES

Russ Clithero, President of oul Buy a Bond a Week" Club, and general manager of the Sitka Ho- tel. reports that the housing prob- lem for the coming Legion Con- vention is well in hand and that we will be able to find quarters tor all those good people that are ex- pected to come from other parts to participate in the doings of the things Legion-come September 5 6, '.
 One of these fine sunny days we are going to publish the NAMES of ALL the members of the BUY A BOND A WEEK CLUB includ- ing the officers of the armed forces. So far this list is held in the strictest confidence, but VIC are just about to the point where we are willing to let the "cat out of the bag" Anyway, we have been selling WHALE of a lot of bonds through this medium.
 MT. Clithero reports the sale oi Bonds for the past month have been disappointing. We are going to have to get in there and pitch if we are going to reach our Aug ust quota.

Jean Clithero, Sophie Harris and Mesdames Astrid Saddler, Bob flag . den, Vern McGraw, Patricia Berg, Irene Reynolds. Add to this about hundred service men and you will get some idea of the crowded condition of the place. However we do have a place in town that is suitable for this event-the high school gym. This is an ideal place and with the cooperation of the local school board we can offer the boys a place to go that they will enjoy. The gym is large enough to accommodate the crowds that are beginning to attend these affairs, and it seems to us the least we can do to help win the war, after all if we had son in the service we woud want him to have some entertainment. Are we going to do anything about it NOW-or wait till election time?

MOOSE MEETS

The regular meeting of the Moose, August 3, was well attended, and there were 56 new members in the class. Owing to the fact that there is considerable remod- cling to the building to be done, the next initiation was set for some time in early November.

SON

A YEAR HAS PASSED,
AT SEA ARE THE SHIPS
A YEAR AGO illness confined me
to a hotel room, through the win
dows of which looked out on the
waters of the broad Pacific.
watched the constantly moving
panorama on rainbow pier-the
procession Of cars and pedestrians,
the platforms filed with dancers or
with religious revivalists or, at
times, with both. There was evil
dence only Of the amusement or
occupations of a peaceful people.
But beyond that pier was a more
interesting and impressive sight.
There, swaying at anchor or NOV
ing in from, or out to sea, was
magnificent battle feet, the pride OF
America. There were the great bat
tie wagons, the aircraft carriers,
the cruisers and the always-restless
destroyers, with an occasional sub,
with its strange shape and devilish
purpose, to add to the interest. :.
I knew the name Of no single one
of those fighting, ships. ! did not
know which battle wagon was named
for which state, which cruiser was
named for which city, or the name
of what shero was carried by any
destroyer. But each one had an
individuality and though each OF
its class looked much like all 9TH
ers Of that class, soon learned to
distinguish one from another.
They seemed always on the alert.
Always there was smoke from their
escape valves. Their crews were
moving to and from shore, and Off
GERS gigs passed from one ship to
another.
That fleet was an inspiring sight.
It was something more than great
masses Of steel. It was steel, plus
men, and the men made it the soul
of America. The ships and the crews
were the guardians of the peace
and pleasures of those people on the
pier, and of the people all up and
down the nation. 1t represented the
might and the pride Of a great ma
tommy nation.
As I watched any one of them
weigh anchor and sail out to sea,
to disappear beyond the horizon, /
could imagine it going to meet an
enemy-my enemy-seeking to de-
stroy the peace and liberties of
nation-my nation. When, after
hours or days, that ship returned,
/ could imagine its purpose OF de-
struction accomplishment enemy
destroyed.
I am again writing within stones
throw of the Pacific. There is the
same panorama to be seen on the
rainbow pier, the same line OF cars
and pedestrians, the same groups Of
dancers and religious enthusiasts,
but the ships are gone.
This time I do not have to mag
inc. know they have gone to meet
an enemy-my enemy and our enc
my-on the far side of the broad
Pacific. It is because they are gone
that I have no fear of that enemy
reaching me on the American shore
of that ocean. It is because they
are gone that the cars and pedestri.
ans, the dancers and religious ex.
horters are still found on rainbow
pier.
The might and pride of America
is in the Far East to destroy that
enemy who so treacherously at.
tackled a peace-desiring nation.
