pedEPolices Chief Beanie Sumer- lin on the street.
 His story was this: The last port they had left was San Francisco and when they got to Kodiak they were told it was Alaska. He came down town and after looking at the green hills, colorful patches of wild flowers, soaking in the hot sun, and watching one of our sum- mer dust storms his skepticism grew He doubted that this was Alaska so he stopped Beanie to ask him if it really was.
 This week Beanie got letter from him somewhere on Oahu:
 Dear Chief:
 Remember me? Pm the sold fer that promised you a pair of pickled Jap ears from the island of Kiska. That was way back in July of AS. Remember our talk on the Pribilofs? Well, I'd kind of like to take a look at them after this war.
 I'm sorry that I couldn't oblige you with those ears be- cause there weren't any on Kis- ka when we got there They evidently preferred to keep those so they vamoosed. I hope you like the ten yen note Pm sending you. 1 picked that up on Kwajelein in the Marshalls.

April Fool is still April Fool, as witness the antics that day in front of the Island Fountain. Manager James Martz fastened one silver dollar to the sidewalk in front of the place and every. one who tried to pick it up was stymied.
 All except Frank Kempton. He borrowed a screw driver from neighbor Ray Martin and pried the silver dollar loose.
 It wasn't clear profit, how ever. Ray charged twenty-five cents for the use of the screw driver.

A release of the Alaskan De- partment, we note, contains the information that many soldiers in the Aleutlans and other parts of Alaska are signing up for many courses provided in the educational program of the Arm ed Forces Institute.
 In the language field, it says, number one in popularity IS Russian. This, it explains, is in part due to the proximity of Alaska to Russia.
 Personally we don't thlnk the propinquity has anything to do with 1t.
 The interest in the Russian language would naturally stem from the presence of Russian speaking descendants of Alaska's early settlers and the remainders of Russian mores and culture that are scattered in these parts,
 Japanese, the release says, al so ranks high.
 That can't be anything else

Sixteen million feet of lumber, enough for all essential civilian needs in Alaska, have been re- leased for purchase in 1914, ac- cording to the WIPE at Juneau
 The lumber is Alaskan-cut and is on hand at Sitka and Ketch- ikan, which leaves the problem of transportation the only one to be solved. Restrictions on the number of homes that may be built remain in effect and applic- ations Tn excess of the quota will not be granted.

tropics has been quite a change for me. It's nice down here after you get used to it, especially so since the rainy season is at it's end now. You on the other hand must have some pretty tough weather to battle against. How cold did it get up there this year? (Ed. note: Six below = third time in 25 years that Kodiak has had sub-zero wealth er.) Did you have a lot of snow, that is any more than normal? (Ed. note: No ) Needless to say you must have done lots of hunting and fishing since l saw you last and you can just bet your last pair of boots that l envy you 8 heap.
 Now don't forget that I'll be expecting an answer from you as soon as Uncle Sam's mail planes can make the round trip.

A. II. S. - | am 20 years old
and married. | love my husband
but he seems to think that | am
very bad girl. At times he calls
me all kinds of indecent names.
Usually, he calls me one of those
girls of the street This isn't true.
My husband has lived with me
three years but he doesn't seem
to know what I will do or what
kind of lady | am. He files off
the handle if I have company
and calls them bad names but yet
he never has any company or any
friends over. My husband doesn't
seem to think there are any nice
ladies in the world, Please give
me some advice.
Ans: Evidently your husband
experienced some deep deception
in his youth which left a per-
manent stigma of distrust on his
subconscious mind. To help your
husband to overcome this COM
pick it will be necessary for you
to assume that this was the case.
To convince him that he is wrong
n his assumption you must live
in a quiet dignified manner of
which he approves leaving
behind you the frivilous ways of
a girl your age. Gradually lead
him nto church and civic work
and choose your friends from
these groups. And in this way

FEAR OF THE WHITE MAN SEEN AS BASIC CAUSE

there signs already that the white getting tired
of fighting the Negroes battles 1t that he is real
izing that he's having all he do to himself and

Lack of interest and lack of understanding is to be
blamed for the black mans failure to join with the white
of liberal leanings in about battle to settle the
issue and for ALL In addition there is also present
the fear of physical violence which is dscouragng not only
to the whites who want to help but also to the militant Ne
leaders, in the darkest depths of the South who
have the courage to strike back The whites who want to
join with the Negro in winning better world for all

MUST BEGIN WITH INDIVIDUAL

The fight for Negro freedom everywhere must begin
in the ndvdu The ageod fear of violence and reprsal
from the cracker must give place to the knowledge that
God created all men free and equal The fear ITSELF of the
white man must be rubbed out of the thinking every
Negro before he think of complete freedom That
OF the fundamentals that the white has master

peoples. That is why Hitler hoered so loud when the
French set the Senegaese against the Germans just be-
fore Dunkrk IN the early days of the He squawked

Negro naturally imbdes greediy at the trough of fear

these evils have been into the warp and wool of

Theories of this and that sound WE'LL but unless the
Negro learns to think for himself being good if not
better than anyone else he will always waow in gnor-

TAX FILING
DATE EXPLAINED

Joseph d. Nunan, Jr., Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, re-
minds individual income taxpayers
that Congress has changed from
December Is, 1914, to January Is,
1945, the final date for filing
Declarations of Estimated Income
Tax, either originate as in the case
of farmers), or amended, and pay
ing of installments of estimated
tax for the calendar year 1914.
Among the taxpayers affected
by this change in date are: farmers
who exercised their right to defer
filing declarations last April Is;
others who have really filed 1944
declarations but desire to change,
their estimates by filing amended
declarations; all persons who owe
the final installment of 1914 esti-
mated tax.
If a taxpayer who would other
wise be required to file an original
or amended Declaration Of Estima-
ted Tax by January Is, 1945, files
his annual income tax return for
1914 ION Form 1040) and pays all
tax due by January Is, his return
will serve as both return and dec
laration and he need not file the
1914 declaration.
Also, il taxpayer files his final
1914 return ton Form 104O) and
gays the tax due on 1t by January
Al. bs5aeed not pay the final in
stallmert which otherwise woald BE-
ssSf ostsnis estimated tax.
A bill fre,0 the Collector for the
final installmept of 1914 estimated
tax may be ignored by ataxpayer
who files his annual return tor
Form 1O40l and pays the tax due
on it by January Is.
These changes will enable. tax
payer, if he desires to do SO, to
wind up all of his 1914 income tax
obligations by January 10, but it
does not affect the filing Of his
1915 declaration which will be due
March Is. Also, taxpayers who do
not file their final 1914 returns by
January Is must do so by Marcn
