 25-16 SCORE

The Crimson Bears Of Juneau High School chalked up their sec ond victory this week with a decisive defeat of the Dolphins last night in the nightcap of doubleheader in the gym, the game ending with a score of 25 to Is.
 The visitors started in a confident mood, running up eight points to the Bears seven in the first quarter, and ending the half with two-point lead, 12 to TO- From then on they lost the initiative and failed to score in the third quarter. By. that time the Bears had the game on ice, and several substitutes went in and fin- ished
 The Dolphins' line was seriously weakened by the loss of Farmer. who has left for parts unknown, and MacMahon, mainstay of last nights lineup twisted his ankle and had to leave the game in the third. The Bears seemed to be back in their stride and the scores were evenly scattered among the team.
 The Signacs took trouncing from the Bankers in the initial game, the final score reading 29 to IS. The game was scrappy, and numerous fouls raised the free throw tally. Lenhart and VanderHoek led the scoring for the Signacs and Powers and Lundeberg, who took lot of pushing around, sparked the win ners.
 Following is the box score:

Every few days an Alaskan -. probably an old friend and regular customer of ours comes to LIS for accommodations. At the time we are unable to tell them whether we can take care of them or not. More than likely we cannot even tell them exactly when the next ship is sailing. And so they have to wait around or call back for some word. Sometimes they have to drop back =. or call us time after time before we are able to give them definite in- formation. The same is likewise frequently true in the matter of freight space.
 This isn't pleasant for them .. neither is it pleasant for us. It's the last way in the world we want to do business. But we are power less to do otherwise. And probably will remain SC for the duration.

IT ISN'T PLEASANT FOR US
 ... either!


 Who travels :. how they travel =. and when they travel are things which are rather definitely pre- scribed for us by wartime authori- ties. This is no doubt as it should be, for, in times like these, there must be some form of control in order that the more vital things get the first attention. And with the Japanese threat to our lives and property constantly towering over us all, none will deny there are plenty of vital things requiring pre- ferred attention these days.
 So, if you are one of those whom we have been forced to disappoint or been unable to serve with our normal speed and consideration, we hope you will understand. We know it isn't pleasant for you -. but it isn't pleasant for us either' It is just one of the many incon- veniences which result from being embroiled in a worldwide war.

BaHIeship's
Silver Service
DISAPPEARS

WEST BEND, WIS, March 4
-R)-Where is the silver serv-
ice from the u. S. S. Wisconsin,
strapped in 1922?
Tradition and taxes being
what they are, the Navy and
Wisconsin want to know. The
Treasures whereabouts is i'm
portant in the scheme of things
for the new battleship Wiscon-
sin, now being built.
Custom demands that men O
war serve visiting dignitaries off
silver. And custom dictates that
it be the gift of states whose
name they bear. So when the
new Wisconsin took shape, the
commonwealth considered its
obligations to etiquette. The
handling of details fell to John
E. Dickinson of West Bend.
Unfamiliar with this silver
service business, Dickinson ask
ed the Navy how much money
was needed, how it was raised,
how the set was purchased.
Came the answer: There prob
ably was no need for new serv-
ice; would the state please re-
turn the one from the old Wis
cousin? v. Dickinson hastily
called Governor Goodland, who
didn't know where it was. Mel
Their did the historical museum,
the historical library, nor the ad-
jutant general. D C k n S n
searched newspaper files.
II found that the old Wiscon-
sins bell went to Wauwatosa,
the brass steering wheel to
GAINESVILLE and the whistle to the
wagon works here" he reported.
But there was nothing about
the silver"
Now he has requested Secre-
tary Knox's assistance.
IF the old set cannot be
found, or is obsolete, we must
purchase a new one, even though
it is war time" Dickinson de-
clared. This is a matter invol-
wing the pride of the state and
its citizens"

LONDON, March 4 - 1t was
raining. Down the straight
French road leading into Douai
streamed a motorcade of olive
brown Numbers preceded by
motorcycle escort. The King OF
England i'm the first year of war
was arriving to inspect his di-
visions of that area.
They swept past 90 howitzers
which lined the road every sixth
poplar tree, until they had
reached a large, pretentious
villa with iron lace gates where
the Union Jack and Tricolor
dropped in the wet.
British generals, most of them
grown old in a service whose
methods were out-of- date, step
ped from cars to be presented;
but there arrived suddenly with
out escort a small man with dark
hair and dark mustache whose
boots shone even in the rain.
Energy radiated from him, and
as he strobe to his place in line
he looked round with trucu-
lent glare, like saying what
the hell's this waste of time
for?"
War correspondents said his
arrival eclipsed everyone.
It was to this 50-year-old Brit
ish General of the Irish Guards,
Sir Harold Alexander, that Lord
Gort later handed the job of
evacuating British forces from
Dunkirk.
He was the last man to leave
the bombed beaches and at the
end, in the half-light, he toured
the desoiate sands to make sure
nobody was left.
A staff officer remarked to
Alexander at this time: 1.-THE po-
sition is catastrophe" Alexan-
der replied: II am sorry, but !
don't understand long words like
that"
During the months in Britain
which followed Dunkirk it was
Alexander, as GOO of the South
ern Command in Englan
charged with the defense against
invasion of southern coastland,
who was largely instrumental in
introducing both battle schools
and the Commando spirit into
the Army.
A tough, aggressive fighter
who three times has been called
upon to wage vital defensive &C.
ton to save British army from
crushing defeat, he is neverthe-
less an advocate Of the offensive.
During Southern Co m m a n d
days, he taught junior officers
they must infiltrate; take advan-
tage of any gaps in the enemy's
defensive system.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-04

a battle that, by all the rules,
should have ended in one. These
men, saved from capture, now
form the nucleus around which
the Anglo American high COM
mand plans to form an army
which will wrest Burma back
from Japan.
Next General Alexander sue
cessfully fulfilled the largest as
signment of his career. AS COM
mander in Chief of Allied troops
in the Middle East, he turned
the retreats of Auchinlek and
other previous Middle East mill
tary chiefs into victory with a
mighty offensive that drove the
foxy Rommel out of Egypt and
Libya and clean into Tunisia.
OF his part in that great
drive, government spokesman
here said. Make no mistake.
That was Alexander's battle. He
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-04

was so modest that, as Middle
East communicates floated across
his desk, he would delete his
name from dispatches to the
world and insert the names of
General Montgomery and other
staff officers"
Today, as Deputy Comman-
der-in-Chief under Americas
General Eisenhower in the final
phase of the African campaign,
Alexander enjoys the full con-
fidence of London and Washing
ton. 1t is felt that the man who
in the last war commanded a
battalion of the Irish Guards at
"a; brigade at AZ; division at
As, and who himself went over
the top in France 80 times, can
impart the boldness and resolu-
ton of his character to British,
American and French troops
alike.

Bean Certificates
Available Here

Imperial Valley farmers wishing
to grow black-eyed beans or peas
may obtain certificates for the pur-
chase of seed from the office of
the local Triple A, Rudolph Miller,
that organ;lantions secretary, said
Tuesday.
Miller explained that unless the
certificates are used, individuals
must surrender a number eight
stamp from their ration books for
each pound of beans or peas pur-
chased.
AS these products are considered
war crops, however, farmers may
buy them for planting purposes
by the use of special certificates
without turning in ration book
stamps.
Already number of growers
have been issued seed purchasing
certificates by the Triple A, Miller
said.
