The gaily enameled unit insignia

his regimental shield displayed in
the center of the eagle on his reg
mental flag. It's part of U. S.
Army tradition. Traditional, too,
is the Army mans preference for
Camel cigarettes. (Based on actual
sales records from service mems
own stores.) It's a gift from the
folks back home, that always

A little starch added to the wa
ter with which mirrors are washed
will remove soil and give a polish
to the glass.
Save cOlOred bottles that bever-
ages come in and use them for
holding trailing vines, sprays or
other greenery. They add a note
of color to glass shelves in win

When washing cut glass or
pressed glass articles, apply the
sudsy water with a small hand
brush. 1t gets the soapy water
into the crevices and removes
dust which dulls the brilliancy of

SYDNEY SMITH, pAA TRAFFIC
 MANAGER, HERE

Sydney A. Smith, traffic manag- CT for the Alaska Division of the Pan American Airways, is in Ju- neau, renewing old acquaintances and trying hard to find some fam iliar landmarks. He arrived yester- day by plane from Seattle, and while here will confer with local PA representatives.
 His first visit of any consequence to Juneau, in over 20 years, Smith today recalls the days when as a youngster he attended the Ju- neau Grade School His father, Sydney L. Smith, was at that time a mining engineer at the Jualin Alaska mines, having founded the town of Jualin on Lynn Canal. when he was sent from northern Ontario to have charge of the prop erty and open the mine. He built the first wireless station at that point, the word radio being un- known in those days in Alaska.
 The PAA official first came to the Territory on the old Humboldt with the going pretty rocky, re- turning almost two decades later, this time soaring by plan with the trip as smooth as velvet.
 Smith expects to return to AL aska at various and innumerable times in the future. He was just recently made traffic manager for this division, the position having formerly been held by R. O. Bull winkel, who is now with Northwest AirlineS.
