FIFTY BOYS ARE SIGNED up FOR
 CUB MOVEMENT

With close to 50 boys already signed up in the Cubs, Ray Adams, Cub leader, predicts a good year for the movement on Gastineau Channel.
 Adams said his boys are full of pep and mischief and he feels that, along with the enthusiasm already displayed, this is good indication of a live, active move ment.
 The Cubs, for boys ages nine to 12, is sponsored by the Rotary Club, and the organization provides supervised play program for boys that ais centered on the home, with the mothers taking an active part ] in the activities. The boys home hobbies, Adams stated are used as part of the program. These might include any hobby from stamp collecting and model airplane build ing to just plain whiting.
 Adams said one of the reasons he is interested in the movement 1 is that he and his wife came from town that had great amount of juvenile delinquency. He feels that the Cub movement is a potent force with which to stamp out this evil. He added that the Cubs take care of the boy until he is of Scouting age, and then he may join the Boy Scouts.
 The Rotary Club recently pur- chased manuals for the Cubs, and award badges will be furnished free of charge by the Juneau Boy Scout Headquarters. Uniforms are to be left to the individual boys.
 Adams is to call a Den Mothers meeting sometime within the next month. It is vital to the Cub move ment, he stated, that each small group of boys, called Den, have a den mother or den father. In fact. the movement cannot exist under the regulations, without these advisers.
 The Cub leader urges all mothers of Cubs to think about the coming meeting, saying: "The pride the mother has in her child WI be sufficient to persuade her .d ;,, +l,o C,,l, ,,,0yap,oot

Free Concert By Schools
 Two Nights

The annual Christmas free con- cert, presented by the students of the Juneau Public Schools will be held in the High School Gym nasium on December 20 and 2l. This is the first time that the Christmas concert has been given for two nights. The decision to do this was reached after considering the number of disappointed people turned away from the High School vaudeville.
 This is to be an experiment and it is hoped that there will be a full house on both nights, but that there will not be as large crowd on either night as that which at tended the High School vaudeville.
 School authorities are trusting in the laws of chance that half will attend Wednesday night and the remainder on Thursday night.

Henriot as Portent

The assassination of Philippe
Henriot, Vichy Minister of Propa-
ganda, must send shiver down the
spines of all outstanding French
"collaborationists." It is portent
of what is in store for them when
the Allied invasion has liberated the
soil of the country they have be-
trayed from the grip of the German
conquerors of whom they are the
accomplices.
The account of his death, as given
out by Berlin. is that members of
the patriot underground" dis
guised as Vichy militiamen or gen.
darmes. forced an entrance early
Wednesday morning into the Paris
Office of the Propaganda Ministry
where Henriot and his wife were
living under police guard. went to
his room, and shot him dead in his
wife's presence, escaping afterwards.
This official German version is ac-
cepted with satisfaction by French
underground headquarters in Lon
don, which admits the German
charge that the assassination was
inspired from London, although dis
avowing advance knowledge OF this

specific act. 50 daringly successful
q deed naturally advertises the
power Of the underground, increases
Its prestige, and terrifies its domes-
tic enemies. It thus looks as though
Berlin has correctly reported the
facts. though rumors from the
Spanish border hint at a more SEN
sational explanation to the effect
that Henriot was killed by order Of
some of his vichy colleagues with
whom he Is said to have quarreled.
This version would account for the
seeming ease with which the killing
was done and the successful get
away Of the "executioners."
In any case. Philippe Henriot is
dead, and his violent end climaxes
a hectic career. Long before the
war, he was q stormy petrol of
French politics. Starting life as
school teacher. he taught the most
ardent patriotism and entered poll
tics as an extreme nationalist and
right-wing conservative. At that
time, this involved hostility to Ger
many as the hereditary enemy"
But during the decade of internal
dissension which preceded the war,
Henriot, like 50 many other ultra
conservative nationalists. came to
hate his radical and Communist
fellow-countrymen more than any
thing else, and was predisposed to
look upon Hitler's Third Reich as
the lesser of two evils. After the
fall OF the Third Republic and the
establishment of the Vichy regime
headed by Marshal Petain with
an authoritarian program, Henriot
rapidly evolved from "collaboratio
in the official Vichy sense of the
word to ull-fledged pro-Naziism and
ruthless repression of his patriotic
fellow-countrymen. Henriot's zeal,
cleverness and oratorical ability
earned him the post of Propaganda
Minister and the sinister nickname
of the French Goebbels. These ac-
tivities made him. next to Pierre
Laval, perhaps the most hated man
in France. He thus stood high on
the underground's death list. And
now he Is gone.

The Happy Ending

When the legislation to renew the
price control program for another
year was making it's troubled way
through Congress the air was filled
with dire forecasts of disaster to
come. Pressure groups of all kinds
and descriptions were beating the
drums for their respective selfish
purposes and loudly warning that
unless their demands were granted
ruin would be upon us.
= It has not worked out that way.
Congress, not without difficulty,
passed bill which, while embodying
many compromises, retained the es-
sentials of an effective price control
program. Although expressing some
concern as to possible consequences
of the amendments relaxing the
penalties for non-willful violations,
the President, in signing the bill, has
made 1t clear that it is basically sat-
isfactory to him.
Pointing out that we have been
fighting imitation successfully and
that for a whole year the cost of
living has been held without change,
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had been ad-
vised by the enforcing agencies that
in their opinion, under the new law,
the cost Living line can be held
against inflationary price increases
If they are supported In firm ad-
ministration of the law.
Two other points are worthy of
note. One is the tone Of the Presi-

dents comment with respect to Con-
gress. Where the legislators had
been roundly abused by some Of the
pressure group spokesmen, Mr..
Roosevelt was outspoken and en-
phatic in his commendation of Con-
gress for standing firm against any
departure from the basic principles
which have made it possible for us
to hold the line" The other was hts
expression of deep appreciation OF
the splendid work" by the officials
charged with enforcing the stabili-
zation program, and especially those
workers in the field offices, county
war boards and local price and ra-
tioning boards, many of whom serve
without any compensation and upon
whom the continued success of the
program so largely depends.
After the turmoil and the conflict
of recent weeks, it may be said that
this is indeed happy ending to it

Capital Sidelights
By win P. Kennedy.

Representative Usher L. Burdick Of
North Dakota is q bibliopole, biblio-
grapher and bibliophile-for he not only
loves books, but writes and collects them.
He has just published his 18th volume
of western history, study of the
National Grange, oficially known as
the Order Of Patrons of Husbandry, or
ganized in this Capital City in 1867.
Mr.. Burdick collects books about the
West, history and literature, Indian lore
and Government reports on Indian az
fairs. In his own writings he goes back
to notebooks he filled in his youth, going
among the pioneers and aboriginal In
dians and getting their stories first
hand He has more than 200 such ac-
counts from old timers, which he hopes
to publish some day." His best collec-
ton is of j. Fenimore Cooper's tales
and one rare volume, extremely dincult
TO get and remarkably well preserved,
is The Last Of the Mohicans" of 1757
He has a first edition Of Edgar Allan
Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon
Pym," written in New York in 1888 u98
pages), and first editions also Of Ralph
Waldo Emerson. He has been an as
siduous collector Of the works lboth

torian and prizes his copy of Tn
Through Nature to God," published in
1899. He has the history Of "Old Pike"
the first road in America built at public
expense, and he also has report by
Gen. Burgoyne to the House Of Com
mons on the expedition of the British
from Canada in the Revolutionary
period, with maps.
Representative Burdick's early home
bordered Fort Totten, the Sioux Indian
Reservation, and he learned the Sioux
language His books include "A His
tory OF the Cattle Trade of the Da-
kotas," The Last Battle Of the Sioux"
Tales From Buffalo Land" and THE
Story of Fort Buford." These works
contain data on the West that cannot
be found elsewhere.
In his latest publication THE History
of the Farmers Movement in Politics."
Mr.. Burdick tells how Oliver H. Kelley
of Itaska Park, Mimi, started the first
national organization for the better
ment of farm conditions He was the
great-grandson of Thomas Kelley, who
came to America in 1755. Born and
educated in Boston, he was drug clerk
and newspaper reporter in Illinois, q
telegrapher in Iowa and homesteader
In Minnesota. A pioneer advertiser OF
the last-named State, he wrote articles
for Eastern papers to attract settlers.
Later he became a clerk in the Bureau
of Agriculture and made an ofdcial sur
vey of agricultural conditions in Mime
sofa and through the South-which
trips gave him the incentive for ma
tional cooperative association OF
farmers.
The first officers of the Patrons Of
Husbandry, elected in washington De-
cember 4, 1867, were: william B. Saun-
ders, master; j. r. Thompson, lecturer;
M. w. Ireland, treasurer; Mr.. Kelley,
secretary, and the Rev. A. B. Grosh,
chaplain. The first local was estab-
lished by mail at Fredonia, N. Y, with
A. s. Moses as master; the second ut
Newton, Iowa, by A. Failer.
Seven years after the founding OF
the Grange, 10000 locals had been
formed.

robot bomb" or aerial torpedo has
been hurled in increasing numbers
at Southern England, but it has
effected only indiscriminate damage
OF little or no military consequence.
Given enough time, the Nazis might
be able to increase its range and
perfect its control mechanism, max
ing it truly formidable weapon.
They are not being granted that
opportunity however, and fighter
planes and antiaircraft FIRE are
apparently steadily reducing its
nuisance value.
When 1t first put in its appear
ance, the robot bomb" was de-
scribed by Nazi propagandists in
such exaggerated terms that the
German people must have thought
that it was enough in itself to win
the war for them. Since then the
exaggerations have been drastically
toned down, so that it is now re-
ferred to only as the first in series
of secret" devices yet to be revealed
to us with devastating effect.
Labeled wi" by the Berlin high
command (the w" being an alb
breviation for the German word
meaning reprisal or vengeance
weapon). it is presumably to be i'm
proved upon or perhaps replaced by
other "V''s"V-2," VS." "V-4" and
so on. Thus. the official Voelkischer
Boebachter, Hitler's own newspaper,
seeks to frighten us and cheer up
the Reich home front by declaring
that wi is only our beginning on
the chronological plane. Other
weapons, just as other forms Of
strategy. intervening at the proper
time, will turn the tide"
That any weapon could turn the
tide for Germany at this juncture.
however dreadful the weapon, is in
conceivable. Nevertheless, although
we can be completely confident of
victory. We must expect surprises
from the Nazis before they finally
60 down. For they are both desper-
ate and resourceful. a combination
OF attributes that would make any
enemy dangerous. The indiscrim-
mate, terroristic and basically futile
character OF the robot bomb" is
proof enough that they will try any
thing in an effort to hit back at us.
even though it satisfies only their
blind rage and has no military value,
Hitler, who once said he would
drag half Of Europe down with him
it ever he saw defeat closing in on
him, can be counted upon to try
worse things against us than "V-1."
1t Is perhaps more than a little
significant, in this connection, that
the Goebbels propaganda machine
has just distributed a pamphlet
darkly suggesting. in allegorical
form. that poison gas be used to
combat invasion by North Ameri-
can beetles" The hint, whether
bluff or not. is serviceable: It re-
minds us that our vigilance against
this enemy must be constant until
he is beaten into the dust and put
out OF harms way forever.

at Army posts in the United States
has risen from II permanent chapels
to more than 1900 permanent and
cantonment-type chapels, each suited
to the needs Of members Of Catholic,
Protestant and Jewish faiths. In ad-
dition 40 theater Of operation
chapels and ~ buildings Of the
same type construction for combined
use as chapels and recreation centers

Soldiers overseas in combat areas
and occupied territories often con-
struct temporary or semi-permanent
chapels. Salvage material is often
transformed into places Of worship
in labor of love.
There can be no churches or
chapels on nfeboats or nferafts, but
there can be prayers; and there are
Testaments for Protestant, Catholic
and Jewish faiths. These are pack
aged in waterproof containers of
metal foil and the durability OF the
booklet against possible damage by
water has been increased by the
use of special water resistant stock.
On the eve OF battle the chaplain
gives each man opportunity for spirit
ual ministrations, and innumerable
foxholes have become emergency
chapels for services conducted by chap
lains or by the soldiers for themselves
Today there are empty pews in your
church because Of those who have
left to serve our country. Many
familiar faces will be missing from
their accustomed places Of worship.
There Is decrease in the number
present, but there can be no decrease
OF loyalty to God and country, either
among those on the home front or
on the fighting fronts. We are, and
we must continue to be, united in
singleness Of purpose that out Of our
many prayers shall come the strength
America needs.
During wartime there are so many
battles with fears, griefs and weak
nesses; so many needs for the
strength and comfort we find in
prayer. Today, here in the United
States, there are thousands Of
churches to which the faithful resort
for prayer. However large or small
these churches, let us make the
prayer universal-for America, land
of churches, prospered of God.

Denmark Stirs

Psychologically even more than
materially, the open defiance of
German domination by virtually the
entire Danish people is an event of
profound significance. 1t is en-
phatic proof of crumbling German
authority in Europe's conquered
lands and growing confidence
among the subject populations that
their deliverance is at hand.
Denmark was the first of Europe's
traditional small neutrals to be
treacherously assailed and overrun
by the German war machine in the
spring of 1910. Armed resistance
was impossible for land only half
again as large as Maryland with
less than four million inhabitants
living in pastoral or agricultural
countryside with neither natural
nor artificial defenses of any kind.
So Denmark submitted without
fighting, and in return the con-
querors granted it easy terms. This
forbearance was due, not to mag
nanimity, but to cold calculation.
The Nazi political strategists picked
Denmark as Exhibit A in their
vaunted New Order" 1t was to
serve as model for all who would
choose collaboration" to resistance
and get aboard the Nazi band wagon.
So Denmark was allowed to keep it's
King and its parliamentary institu-
tions, with only indirect pressure
from Nazi authorities that kept dis
creetly in the background.
The Danes, to be sure, never really
"co-operated" in this pretty scheme.
But at first they gave no trouble
and enjoyed the advantages of their
favored situation. Those advan-
tages, however, presently diminished
as German economic necessities
caused Berlin to exploit Denmark
as 1t did other conquered lands.
This aroused Danish popular dis
content and covert opposition,
which in turn brought harsher
treatment from the German mas
ters. Gradually Denmark evolved
the familiar pattern of a militant
underground" with increasing
sabotage and covert violence in re-
taliation for German reprisals. It
is this reciprocal process that has
now eliminated in crisis of major
proportions
The present troubles began when
the German authorities executed
eight Danes for alleged sabotage
and imposed a rigorous curfew ordi-
nance on the entire courtrv. -o
answer was popular defiance of the
curfew regulations, Whereupon -.
German troops of occupation were
ordered to shoot violators on sight.
This in turn provoked a general
strike, which has temporarily par
alyzed Denmark's economic life.
Stores, banks and Offices are closed.
Public utilities have ceased to func-
ton. No factories are running.
Even the bakers have struck. Ger
man troops and police are resorting
to mass terrorism. shooting indis-
criminately into the streets. Riot
ing is reported from Copenhagen
and other cities The entire coun-
try is in incipient upheaval.
Whatever the immediate outcome,
this mass protest by a small and
indefensible people must further
strain Germanys overextended
armed forces and should also
hearten the underground every
where. The hollowness of German
control over conquered Europe has
been revealed as never before.
