One Mans Answer
Cincinnati Enquirer)

There are many answers to the question that
has become SO popular since last December 7: What
can do?" And one of the most unique answers to
the query has been made by w. L. Hand sales
and winter resident of Lantana, Fla.
Mr. Hand decided that his most effective con-
tribution would be the application of his ability as
salesman to the national defense bond and stamp
sales drive. SO, without further ado. he began a
house to- house of the town. He called at
every house-and by the time he was finished Lam
tana the first incorporated town in the United
States that has 100 percent record for the pur-
chase of defense bonds and stamps.
To be sure, the municipality is small The total
population of Lantana is 264 persons but Mr.. Hand
ing two of the $1,000 denomination The other "a
residents already had been getting stamps bonds
at the local post office.
AS one-man accomplishment the record of
81 900 in bonds and more than $500 in stamps sold
by MI Hand in small community is well worthy
of notice But not only is it an instance of indi-
vidual patriotism; it is excellent example which
could be repeated in every community of the nation
with tremendous benefit to the national war effort
Perhaps every community cannot be sold 10C
percent 1t is certain however that digent house
toulouse canvass by capable statesmen and sales
women anywhere will lead to a great increase in
bond and stamp sales. In Mr. Hands words: Sell
ing national defense products like stamps and bonds
is easy. I have been selling goods all my life and
this is the easiest yet. When I started out some
persons said I wouldn't sell 500 worth. but it's
orisng how the people cooperated. 1t OF
the most interesting things I have attempted
and not single person tried to evade me. I fount

NEED FOR GOVERNMENT

Capable business often tell me they won't
become candidates for public office because they
can't afford to get mixed up in politics. It's not
politics. it's government and you can't afford not
to get mixed up in it. tell them"
Such is the remark of a man who has been
closely associated with territorial affairs for
Der of years.
His talk predicated, of course on the fact
that only a week and day remain for candidates
to file legislative and three territorial positions
before the filing closes. We thought his discussion
was timely and his argument well taken

In these days of war, we believe, the people of
Alaska and of the nation a whole have a more
complete realization of the Importance of eectng

things hang in the baance-matters of national and
territorial defense and the necessity of keeping Alas

SATURDAY, JANUARY "a


Under this days aspects average
men and women will benefit
through planning for future ext
gencies. The aspects encourage
mental effort. Ill omens of war may
be depressing.
HEART AND HOME: Heads of
households should insist upon the
maintenance of cheerfulness. Dis
cussion of the world crisis should
be avoided unless it leads to prac-
teal work toward the general good.
The true meaning of the democratic
form of government should be in
stilled in the young. This means
that emphasis should be placed
upon religious teaching, since re-
ligfon is the cornerstone of the ma
ton. Today is promising for rec
reation that touches music and the
arts. Severe weather in many parts
of the country may interfere with

BUSINESS AFFAIRS. In certain
lines of retail trade the usual slump
may be apparent, but indications
for next week are very encouraging.
