 "I beached her" Sumption said. after throwing two pyrenes into the holland not having any luck ln putting out the fire. Then l went out on the beach and waited for the tanks to blow up. l had my good suit and $200 in currency in the pilot house but didn't dare take the chance on going aboard to get IL. I'd worked on the engine practically all night trying to get it going but when the fire got beyond control Sunday I just put the cover on the bilge and beached her"
 The boat, valued at about S10.- 900 was partly covered by insur- ance. The fire was plainly visible from Wrangell.
 Sumption paid high tribute to the local Coast Guard unit which went out Sunday to investigate the fire seen in the vicinity of Five Mile Island. They did their best" he said, but the boat was too far gone to save her"

NO SUCH LUCK

NEW YORK - Joseph E. Davies, former ambassador to Germany, in speech yesterday surmised that perhaps Hitler was dead. Davies based his speculation on the ab- senee of the Fuhrer from last Sat nrday's festivities celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Socialist party coming into power and on the recent three day mourning period which was imposed, presumably be- cause of losses on the Russian front on the people of Germany.

It is again time to welcome a
New Year and this time it is the
baby, 1913. And with the New
Year comes the thoughts of New
Years resolutions and l stumbled
across good one written by Ruth
Taylor. She says: Resolved, ITO
live with all my might while do
live" This calls for the best that
each and everyone has to give and
now is the time to give our best
and believing like the sages of old
"the best will come back to you"
Phillip Brooks once wrote, do
not pray for easy lives. Pray to
be stronger men. Do not pray for
tasks equal to your powers. Pray
for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall
be no miracle, but you shall be a
miracle" A good solution for those
who want to be great, or be a
power in the community, Ell? You've
got to give, Give, GIVE and give
Of yourself. The path to greatness
for many lies in criticising. The
nearest / can come to understand
ing those who find no right in any
thing is a false pride justification
they must feel in that they weren't
the ones that made the error. But
jiminee, how can you make a mis-
take if you NEVER DO anything?
But isn't it fun to know people
like Edna Russell who works eight
hours a day and yet finds time to
crowd so many other activities into
her life-Trash Craft, Working
Girls Council, Tap Dancing, House
keeping and cooking and entertain
ing-in fact, it is a little difficult
to learn all the organizations of
which she is an ardent supporter.
Then there is Bertha Turner who
finds time during very busy days
to send card of cheer to the i'll,
shut-ins and bereaved. Peek at
crowded life Of Mae Marshall, every
spare moment is spent in a con-
structive manner FOR OTHERS.
A full program will make these
days of uncertainty little smooth
er. Volunteer workers are sadly
needed in the Minneapolis Civilian
Defense Council. There is n grave
lack of names of our race appear
ing on their workers rolls. There
are so many different phases that
it is quite simple to choose some
thing in which you are interested
