MANY CHANGES
ARE MADE IN
PUBLIC LIBRARY

Anyone going to the Juneau Pub
lie Library these days will hardly
recognize the place, as it is going
through rejuvenating process
which will eventually double its
facilities. The reading room space
and arrangements are greatly i'm
proved, and there will be twice as
much shelf space. According &c
Ann Colman, chief librarian, a
couple of weeks more should see
the completion of the work to
transform and modernize the IL
brary.
Among the new books recently
received are several pertinent to the
war, and should be read by every
one who wishes to have a thor
ough understanding of current
events, says Miss Colman, and
chose four for special mention
three directly concerned with the
conflict, and the fourth a notable
autobiography.
The first is the recently pub
lished This Time for Keeps" by
John McCormac, correspondent fol-
many years for the New York
Times. 1t is the authors conten-

Additional facts concerning the
life of Mr. Pademeister given out by

istence, and will be of interest to
his many friends and acquain-
tances.
He was born on February 81
1880, at Revel, Estonia, and fol-
lowed the sea all his life, beginning
at the age of seventeen years on
his fathers four masted schooner
After the years of sailing, he went
to navigation school in Russia. AT
twenty-one he became quartermas-
ter of a schooner, and later was
promoted to mate. He made many
trips to all European and Asiatic
countries. Once his ship was wreck
ed off the coast of Haiti when it
struck coral reef. The vessel sank
in four minutes, but all the crew
survived. Mr.. Pademeister was TAX
en- to New York where he set out
again for the Orient.
In 1908, he came to Alaska and
worked for the Jualpa Company
and in 1905 he was married. Again
taking to the sea, he worked as
mate and sometimes captain on the
s. S. Georgia, and in 1909 became
naturalized citizen of the United
States. The last years of his life
were spent in fishing. He was
known as Cap" to his many
friends.
Besides those already mentioned
Mr.. Pademeister is survived by two
grandchildren, Donald Anderson

Arthery,G Golf
Events Take
Place in Bowl

Old man weather gave nearly 100
children a break for the seventh
field day at Evergreen Bowl yes
terday which turned out to be a
fire success.
Mary Tnlpodeau and Billy
Schmitz came out as top winners
of the day, each winning first,
second, and third prizes in the var
ious events that took place.
In the main event, Skinny golf
for boys and girls up to l6 years
of age, Donnie Burford made a
score of 40, Mary Avoain 81, Jerry
Godkins 81, Mary Thibodeau u,
Billy Schmitz 70 and Helen Dapce-
vich 80.
In the last shinney golf tourna-
ment, Carmen Hulse had score of
As, so far no one has made a better
score. For the boys, Tom Hughes
and Donnie Burford tied for first
place with score of 40 points. So it
looks like Donnie Burford is head
man in shinney golf by beating his
last score by one point.
The crowd was very enthusiastic
about the archery long range event
where no age limit was set. The
distance covered is about rs yards.
Many had never pulled a bow
string, but now they have, and for
some, the first time was very
lucky, especially for Heather Holl-
mann who won first for the girls
followed up by Janet Rhodes and
Mary Thibodeau
But for Bill Schmitz it was easy.
He has become fair shot at target
shooting so in this event he came
out on top, a close draw with DON
ME Burtord who came in second.
Much to his surprise, Jerry Shaw
came out third.
The pool has been filled and is
mighty cold but it is hoped it will
be better when it opens Monday
Tournaments for this year espec-
tally the grade school are progress
ing very well, but the tennis tour
naments for the men and women
looks almost hopeless unless the
weather takes a decided change.
Default will be the result of a con-
testant not taking advantage of
the weather conditions.

| ton that our enemies are fighting
for something, while we are fight
ing against something, and that if
we decide that we are struggling to
preserve our way of life, we need
to refresh our knowledge of what
that way means to us and what it
can mean to others. Victory and a
peace that is more than temper
airy truce demand of the United
States rededication to a new and
more universal democracy.
Another timely book is LET the
People Know" by Norman Angel
The final decisions in politics, Mr.
Angel reminds us, are made by the
average busy citizens, by voters who
cannot in the nature of things be
specialists or experts in the matters
they decide. Those matters just now
must include intricate problems of
military and naval strategy, eco
nomic problems of initiation, taxa
ton, etc. Can the average man
possibly make the right decisions?
Mr.. Angel says yes, all that is
needed is straight thinking In this
book are the answers to the ques-
tons that men everywhere are
asking about the war and It h e
peace.
Tokyo Record" is the latest work
of the former Tokyo correspondent
for the New York Times, Otto d.
Tolischus, in which he undertakes
to tell the full tale of how and
why Japan plunged into war. 1t is
a dispassionate account of an
amazing plot for world conquest
older than Hitler's and equally dam
gerous. Tolischus analyses the high
ly complex mysticism and fanati-
cism of the Japanese people who
have undergone no personal growth
since the days of Attila. This is
the dramatic account of the deli
berate manufacture of war.
The fourth volume recommended
by Miss Colman is Dust Tracks
on Road" by Fora Neale Hurston.
This is the dramatic story of the
authors life, of young negro girl
who was to become one of the most
respected anthropologists of her
race, of u girl who grew into a
novelist praised by the leading
critics of the day. Reflections on
negro religion and culture, philoso-
ply, and humor make this book
excellent reading. 1t breathes a
spirit which should give every
reader courage for the future of
America.
Anyone who has not made the
acquaintance of Juneau's Public
Library in the City Hall should
take advantage of the opportunity.
Miss Colman and her assistants
are always ready to help with book
selections and references.

who was DR.. Fleming's wife, had

she was a capable creature. DR..

she whispered to him.
He did not answer. They NOV
ed down the corridor on tiptoe,
and he was standing beside Gym

It was curious to see sadness in
the face of Henry Prentiss.
He took her hand, and touch

other hand. Tell Anne any
thing you want me to do" he

Her pressure on his hand
frightened for moment, and
then relaxed.

touched her forehead again., and
went silently out of the room.

and shook hands when Prentiss
went in, but did not speak. The

job, were packing their equip
ment. The fingerprint people
were dealing with their last
tail-end of duties. The body OF
Colonel Merriwether had not
been moved. He was calm and
precise, even in his final scene.
His hair was still carefully
brushed, and his eyes were clos
ed. His white, delicate hands
reposed on the table, and the left
one was only an inch or two
from the pistol which had killed
him. That weapon had been
worked upon by the fingerprint

as it had been before. 1t was

airy American manufacture.

He leaned forward and picked
up the sheet of paper which

ostentatiously before his victim.
1t was a plain, white rectangle,
and in its center there was neat
tipping:

 The three alternatives are plain. You can curtail drastically. Or you can make lesser reductions and trust that revenues will match approprf- ations. The third alternative would strike out on the path of practical common sense and vision to put our governmental house in order.
 The argument that local. state or territorial government should be practically imperative in wartime. and that We should abdicate to the federal government. is a negation of the very. essence Of democracy.
