MAIL GOES TO FAIRBANKS
 OVER NEW HIGHWAY

EDMONTON - Extension of the mail route from Dawson Creek. British Columbia, to Fairbanks. AL askan, the longest mail route in all the world, was inaugurated this week when U. S. mail trucks started pushing through to the northern terminus of the Alaska military highway.
 Canadian and United States civ ilian mail will use the new route as we'll as the Army, 1t was announc- ed here by the Northwest Service Command of the U. s. Army, whose headquarters are at Whitehorse.
 First class letters and parcels will be carried for the first time to re- mote outposts in northwestern Can ada and Alaska through direct oy- erland mail delivery starting at city
 The first leg of the route to Whitehorse was opened September 23 with Army trucks
 Alaska-bound mail left here for Dawson Creek where trucks, piloted by picked drivers took it up. They were to be relieved at each relay station after beginning their run northbound to Fairbanks The first mail load arrived in Fraibanks on Thursday afternoon, an elapsed time of three days, 19 hours for the 2 2 1O0-mile trip.
 Before the mail route was opened to Whitehorse, letters to civilians and military personnel along the highway went from here to Van couyer or Seattle to be taken by ship to Skagway and by rail to Whitehorse for distribution.

MRS. PERATROVICH ELECTED
 GRAND PRESIDENT OF A. N. S

Mrs. Elizabeth Peratroyich by a unanimous vote, was elected Grand President of the Alaska Native Sis terhood for the ensuing year at the annual session held recently at HoOnah.
 Mrs. Vivian Williams was elected Grand Vice-President; Miss Irene Jackson, Grand Secretary; Mrs Jake Cropley, Grand Treasurer and Mrs. Mable Johnson, Sergeant-at- Arms.
 One of the most important topics of discussion at the session was the proposed summer program for child ren in cannery communities. f- The Grand Convention moved to take initial steps in trying to es- fablish three nursery schools throughout Southeast Alaska.
 The nursery schools will be pat termed after one tried at Klawock last summer. Mrs. Peratrovich as sisted at the Klawock school, so was able to give a firsthand report on the program. Dr. Dale, of the Office of Indian Affairs, helped Mrs. Peratrovich with a series of action pictures he had taken at the Kla- wock school showing the children eating, playing and sleeping. In previous years children of working mothers had to take care of them selves, thus resulting in many trag-

HOW ABOUT SHAKING OUT THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Just 22 days hence and another war time Christmas will be here. That is. unless Hitler and Hirohito throw in the sponge before that date which isn't probable. At any rate. it will be Christmas, which doesn't leave any too much time to be getting that Christmas shopping done.
 Fact is that the next boat south should be taking all the Christmas mail if it is expected to reach it's destination by December 25. Wran- geu mailers responded in fine shape in getting their Christmas mail off 10 the men in the service during the Sept Is to Oct. Is period. They will be smart again not to miss next weeks boat going south with the last of their Christmas mail Tor Outside. We aren't able to tell you when the boat goes south but if we were doing the mailing we'd make q supreme effort to get the mall lh inc Post Office not later than Tues day. Regardless of whether your mail is just going to Seattle, pet Ter not miss that boat, And we mean all classes of mail, not just parcel post

Some of the lads who have been up in the war zone for as much as IS months are overdue for leaVe' and perhaps they'll catch a r1de with Santa Claus when he heads Wrangell way. Our suggestion IS that We start laying few plans ID fhe community for giving those lads 4 real Christmas homecoming pro vidine they get their furloughs. u isn't too early for outlining some reception plans.

 Our first suggestion would be to snsp out of our black out ana brighten up the town. Maybe our soldier lads have had enough ol blackness and gloom in the last 10 months.

Out on Island tx" where the Sea
bees are building the advance and
mobile bases for the armed forces,
nothing is too difficult to accomplish.
They are known by their slogan
"CAN DO".
SO July 4th has been named "CAN
DO" day-not only in commemora-
ton of jobs well done by the Battal-
ions-but as a rallying call for new
recruits.
Now the Navy is seeking 100000
more skilled Observation-Disclosures,
carpenters, machinists, craftsmen,
electricians, Triggers, powdermen, pipe
filters and plumbers, welders, wharf
builders, concrete workers, and many
others. These men will build new
bases on islands and territory yet to
be taken from the enemy, and to re-
place battaiions in the field who are
in need OF q we'll deserved rest.
Naval ratings up to and including
Chief Petty Officer with salaries from
S54 to $126 per month, plus 20 per
cent extra for overseas duty, are of

with experience and ability.
