Momentous cataclysms in affairs
Of men,
The deepest sorrow ever find
ing peaceful souls,
Or greatest gladness: deepest
mysteries history holds
Superlative degrees Of earthly
things-are small,
Minute, in a universal perspec-

Almost nothing Perhaps the
planets like electrOns, spin
About an atom-the solar system

Our universe, is infinitesimal.
Things are great
Only when there are things min

Infinity defines the greatness of
God, and man
Is as one finite atom in his limit

 Behind all this is one primary theme-the training of the Ecua- dorans and the Oronese to take over and carry on when the Rocke- feller office commission and the other agencies pull out.
 Fl Orc is small indeed compared to the vast areas that will have to be rehabilitated as they are re- captured from the Nazis, but the blueprint, minute as it may be, is there just the same.

Umbrella Drive
 Now Underway
 By Girl Scouts

To help defray expenses incurred from the summer camp at Eagle River, an umbrella drive and con- test between troops is underway by the Juneau and Douglas Girl Scouts.
 The drive was instigated by the B. M. Behrends Store for the pur- pose of obtaining umbrella frames to be turned in to the companies so that new umbrellas may be pro- cured.
 Scouts are to be paid 50 cents by the local store for each good frame and 25 cents for those with broken ribs Only standard adult Sixteen rib frames are acceptable.
 Each Thursday at 2 o'clock, scouts will be given an opportun- ity to turn in their collections at the Methodist Church.
 The girls will make a house-to- house canvass for the umbrella frames during the month of Aug ust and it is requested that per- sons having frames which they wish to turn in, wait until they are called upon by the scouts instead of bringing them direct to the store. A telephone number will be announced shortly to give individu- als having umbrella frames of no further use to them, an oppor- tunity of informing the girls so that they may call for them.
 At the end of the month, the troop having collected the most frames will be given a prize by Behrends Store, as well as the cash award for each umbrella frame turned in by individuals from any troop.
