COMPLICATIONS
 IN STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-(AP) New complications were added to the railroad crisis as leaders of fifteen incorporating railroad un- ions numbering more than mil lion workers, set December 30, at 500 a. m., for a nationwide strike.
 Operation brotherhoods repre- senting 350,000 already called a strike for the same date, and to- day they rejected the overtime pay plan advanced by President Roosevelt as a basis of settlement in the wage dispute.
 The incorporating union chiefs said 98 percent of the member ship voted in favor of striking for wage demands more than Q month ago.
 The heads of the unions (clerks, shopmen, etc.) Tuesday granted permission to the em. ployees to carry out the decision

They are both attached to the same con- pany and squadron and both have advanced from private to sergeants in one year and both were advanced at the same time. They spoke of meeting lots of former Nomeites Seattle, among whom were, Emma Kin ny, the Chas. Lewis, Charlotte Paterson, Earl Modine and wife and their uncle, Faxa C. Lewis, Louis NashenWing, Duncan Me Lean, Albert Chagnon, Ralf Reat and wife and numerous others. They also mentioned meeting Chas. Griffin, vice president of Trick & Murray, who is well known in Nome. They left Se- attle on December 10th on their trip to their base at Douglas.

SHOULD HOLD RECORD

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DEFENSE COMTAAND-1stSgt. James Kay, 4l, should hold some sort of a record for overseas service.
 Sergeant Kay who, incidental ly, IS in Company TX" of an In- fantry unit, has been with the Army in Alaska for eight and One-half years, except for eight months he spent al Fort George Wright, Spokane, Wash, in 1e38- g.
 Soft-spoken, Sergeant K a y conforms in no way 10 the gen. eral idea most people have of the tough regular army topkick. He is from Adams, Mass, about 60 miles from Springfield, and is single.
 The sergeant arrived al Chil- koot Barracks on April 8, 1895, when that was the largest, if not the only, army garrison in Alas ka. There were two companies of the 7th Infantry there al the time, or about 250 men.
 Army life in Alaska is differ ent now than ,it was in those days of spare time, the soldiers at Chilkoot Barracks devoted much attention to bunk fatigue, fishing and hunting. That's the order in which Sergeant Kay put them.
 The sergeant is a great one for fishing, but looks on it from the standpoint of a culinary ex- pert rather than a sportsman. But that's not so strange, since Sergeant Kay was for many years mess sergeant.
 Although he used to get the linnit-40 fish it was in those days-nearly every time he went out, il was not the big trout he talked about.
 He used 10 fish for the little ones," he said About four inches is the best size. You clean 'ern. cook 'em in grease, eat 'em like peanuts. Boy, are they good!"
 Food is the one subject upon

 Two of these officers, leaders of the flight of medium bmbers, are listed as missing in action.
 "The attack necessitated long over water flight in land -based planes against well fortified en- emy positions" their citations noted. "Despite the fact that the formation was intercepted by many enemy fighters. the at tack WIS pressed home with marked degree of success and severe losses inflicted on Jap anese shipping. The courage and aggressive spirit of these officers are in keeping with the finest combat traditions of the Army Air Forces" They are:
 Capt. Gilbert IN. Rheese, dep uty flight commander, (Rt. No. 4) Ogden, Utah.
 1st It. Albert w. Berecz, flight leader, now missing in action. His mother, Mrs. John Berecz, lives at 480 East Wood rod Ave. Columbus, O.
 lst It. Quinton D. Standiford, flight leader, now missing in ac- tion. His mother, Mrs. Edith Standiford, lives at 811 West 24th St., Vancouver, Wash.

LEWIS SONS VISIT IN SEATTLE

Word was received hv Mir. and Mrs. Norvin Lewis on the last mail from their twin sons, Ser eeant Charles F. and Sergeant Harry A. Lewis stating that they were spending their furlough in Seattle and that they were en- toying themselves. Both Charles and Harry enlisted in the United States Army Air Corp at Los

which Sergeant Kay will wax eloquent. They had a plentiful supply of fresh foods in those days, with boats coming from the States about once a week. We had the best eating outfit anywhere on the West Coast, he smiled, land not bragging either"
 Sergeant Kay served as mess sergeant for an Alaskan Recruit Training Detachment for a while. Asked how the Eskimoes in the Detachment liked the chow he dished out, he said: Well, they went for pork chops in big way, but they missed that good nome cooked seal oil"
 He explained that most of the Eskimoes have made white mans food part of their diet for many years now and, although they still are partial to some native dishes, they are well acquainted with most items of army fare.
 Comparing his recent army ex- periences with those of the Chil- koot era, Sergeant Kay decided that the. old days in Alaska could not be termed rough" in any sense of the word. They had steam heated barracks as we'll as good food and plenty of leisure. The coldest weather he has ex- perienced in Alaska was only last winter when the mercury dipped 10 35 degrees below zero.
 Unlike some regular army men, Sergeant Kay holds the citizen soldier in high regard. They make just as good sol diers," he said. There's no diff ference between the selectee and the regular army man."
 With the exception of the Aleutian Islands, the sergeant has seen most of Alaska. He was stationed at Sitka for five mon- ths, and has been in the Richard son area for about two years. He has had several furloughs, all of them spent in Alaska.
 He and another soldier once took two-month trip up the Yukon river in a canvas canoe, going all the way to Circle, northeast of Fairbanks.
 Although he has been in the Army Is years, Sergeant Kay plans to be a civilian after the war is over, and will live in AL aska.
 Alaska is good phase to live, as civilian" he said. Asked how he liked his one trip back to the States in the past eight years, he said q was glad to get back to Alaska" q
 Sergeant Kay hasn't decided where he will live in Alaska after the war, but it will be somewhere in the southeastern part. "Tll fish a little, hunt, and live off the land" he said.

average worker of Dayton does
not take enough interest in his
community, by failing to register

small taxpayers of Dayton are not
full conscious of their obligations
as citizens of Dayton, and should
take a more active interest in the
affairs of their community, and
should make ever effort on their
part in making Dayton a better
