Kodiak Couple
 Wed In Nevada

Carson City, Nevada Spec laD-Pernecia M. Foster and Cecil B. Helsel, both of Kodiak, were married here today (De- cember 18).
 MT. and Mrs. Helsel are both very we'll known in Kodiak and their marriage came as no sur prise to friends as they had written recently that the event was to take place soon.
 Mrs. Helsel worked at the Victory Cafe this year before leaving for the States after a trip to the Interior.
 Mir. Helsel first came to Kodi- ak in the early days of construc- tioD of the naval base, where he was employed as a lineman. He left Kodiak early this fall for the States and after his depart ure sold the Helsel Photo con- pany, in which he has been in terested since February, 194l, to Charles Rutkowski and Jeff Norman.

Stain Brands Japs Aggression

The japanese high command is probably engaged at this
revision of its defense strategy Staff dis
may include such matters the reinforcement Of
troops in Manchura the status of aeds there IN Hokkado
and southern Sakhan and the disposition of fleet units In
the Sea of Japan For Stain in his first public and explicit
denuncaton of Tokyo has deliberately branded the Jap
aggressos In almost the breath he has called
for international organization to Illustrate aggression by
force
This is short of Russian threat of against Japan
Nor the first time that Moscow has condemned Japan
indeed the broken warshps in Pearl Harbor still Smok
ing when Pravda denounced the reahery of that act But
it the first time that the Russian chief of state has called
publicly for the suppression of the eastern aggressor His
testimony the essential unity of the United nations, fol-
lowing closely the similar expressions of Prime Minister
Churchill dim Japan's hopes for negotiated peace
So Tokyo today there will be sober study of the posi-
bilty of another major foe.
Whether Russia will become active bellgerent against
Japan before defeat of Hitler after is still undiscosed
although may be shrewdy guessed that the Soviet role
settled Teheran Stain describes the defeat of Ger
many as the last final mission of the Red army suggesting
that Russa contribution to the crushing of japan will be
nonmtar But he has given his pledge to join in the pun
ishnent of aggression and he has named Japan as an
aggreSsor.

CORRESPONDENTS
WORK LIKE SLAVES

That statement may lay me open
to wisecracks, but however it may
seem to you, writing is an exhaust
ing and tearing thing. Most of the
correspondents work like slaves.
I'm sure they turn in as much
toll in week as any newspaperman
at home does in two weeks. We
travel continuously, move camp
every few days, eat out, sleep out.
The result is that all of us who
have been with the thing for more
than year have finally grown be-
logged. We are grimy, mentally as
well as physically. We've drained
our emotions until they cringe from
being called out from hiding We
look at bravery and death and bat
tlefield waste and new countries
almost as blind men, seeing only
family and not really wanting to
see at all

Bennett Cerf's TRY and Stop Me"
is a collection of anecdotes and
stories Of stage and screen celeb
rites, writers, and just plain anon
ymous people.
Here's one about New York Citys
renowned Mayor LaGuardia. Occa-
sionally he presides in Police Court,
and one bitter cold day a trembling
old man was brought before him,
charged with stealing a loaf of
bread. His family, he said, was
starving. "The law makes no ex-
ception," declared the Mayor. IT
must sentence you to a fine of ten
dollars" But the Little Flower was

where a man has to steal bread
in order TO eat" The hat was passed
and an incredulous old man, with a
light Of heaven in his eyes, left the
courtroom with a stake of forty
seven dollars and fifty cents!
Jane Adams, the social worker,

train one afternoon, and greeted her
cordially though she couldn't re-
member her name. The converse
ton will give me a clue" she
thought, but for a half-hour she

from others until you see see their
men set off in a frame, as it were,
in some strange faraway place like
this.
The men of Oklahoma are drawl-
ing and soft-Spoken. They are not
smart-alecks. Something of the pur-
ity of the soil seems to be in them.
Even their cuSsing is simpler and
more profound than the torrential
obscenities of Eastern city men. An
Oklahoman of the plains is straight
and direct. He is slow to criticize
and hard to anger, but once he is
convinced of the wrong of some
thing, brother, watch out.
These wounded men of Oklahoma
have got madden about the war
than anybody I have seen on this
side of the ocean. They weren't so
mad before they got into action,
but now to them the Germans
across the hill are all devils.
1t was these men from the farms,
ranches and small towns of Okla
homa who poured through my tent
with their wounds. / lay there and
listened for what each one would
say first.
One fellow, seeing friend, called
out, II think I'm gonna make her"
Meaning he was going to pull
through.
Another said, "Have they got beds
In the hospital? Lord how I want to
go to bed"
Another said, I'm hungry, but I
can't eat anything. keep getting
sick at my stomach"
Another said, as he WINGED from
their probing for deeply buried
piece of shrapnel in his leg, go
ahead, you're the doc. I can stand
it."
Another said, "Ill have 10 write
the old lady tonight and tell her
she missed out on that $4,000
again."
Another, who was put down
beside me, said, Hi, Pop, how
you getting along? call you
Pop because you're gray-headed.
You don't mind, do you?"
told him I didn't care what
he called me. He was friendly,
but you can tell from his for
ward attitude that he was not
from Oklahoma. It turned out
he was from New Jersey.
One big blond Oklahoman had
slight flesh wounds in the face and
the back of his neck. He had a
patch on his upper lip which pre-
vented his moving it, and made him
talk in grave, straight-faced man
ner that was comical. I've never
seen anybody so mad In my Life.
He went from one doctor to an
other trying to get somebody to
sign his card returning him to duty.
The doctors explained patiently
that If he returned to the front his
wounds would get infected and he
would be q burden on his company.
They tried to entice him by telling
him there would be nurses back in
the hospital But he said. ITO hell
with the nurses, I want to get back
to fightin'."

Notes from

By Helen M. Boothe

During the many years that 1
have been intimately associated Win
books I have become Increasingly
aware of the people who write those
books-so much so that frequently
the authors, themselves, hold a
greater interest for me than their
books. Writers, are in the fnal
ANALYSIS, just people like you ana
me 1t is true that they often seem
to have more unusual and exciting
experiences.
I have frequently wondered wnlch
was cause and which was effect. 10
their unusual experiences stimulate
them 10 writing? Or, do the same
qualities. interests and abilities
which stimulate them to write, also
thrust them into a whirlpool OF

Probably both questions can be an

was probably predeStined both TO
tragedy and to writing. Undoubted-
" many of the present day writer's
however. have been hurtled into
their careers by the mad world III
which we live today.
However that may be, you Will
probably find that most great books
are written by men and women VINO
have, themselves, drunk deeply
from the emotions and tragedies OF
life. If a book really intrigues you,
probably the person who wrote 1t
would also interest you. Here are
some of the vivid facts you would
discover If you looked back OF a
few of the current books:
Konrad Heiden, whose DER
FUEHRER has been called by cri-
tics "The finest book Of historical
fact ever to be written by a con-
temporary of his own time" is, him
self, a German-an eXiled German,
obviously. A newspaper correspon-
dent so popular in Germany that
Hitler several times refused to start
a meeting until Heiden made his
appearance, he became known as
1.-The man who kept Hitler waiting.
He fled from Germany in 1888 when
he knew that he could neither sup
port nor tolerate the principles and
practices Of Hitler's party.
"Heiden may be credited with in
venting the term 'Nazi'. Hitler's
henchmen were originally known as
the Nasos (the normal Authorization
of National Socialists). In the early
192O's Heiden derisively began to
refer to them as the Nazis, slang
term for pumpkin or simpleton in
the Bavarian villages. The nickname
gained such currency that it was
finally adopted officially by the
party"
Hans Habe, Hungarian born SOL
dier-author, wrote A THOUSAND
SHALL FALL from the bitterness
