A TIMELY STEP

The Reindeer ServIce's unit manager of the Boring unit, on Seward Peninsula, Alaska, has announced that Eskimo own CTS of reindeer herds in that unit, desir ing to take over active control of their own herds can do so by complying with certain specific requirements. This seems to us to be timely action. Since acquiring the deer from private interests in 1887 and turning them into conmun- ity property administered by corpora tions under government management for the benefit of the Eskimo:, the total number has dropped to some 67O0O. Such record cannot be defended. None of Us can take pride in it.
 Commenting on the recent action by the Boring unit manager, C. L. Andrews, veteran Alaskan educator and student of the reindeer resources, writing in his publication, The Eskimo, said:
 "This is the best news, the most en- couraging news that has come out of the reindeer country for years. The ESKI- MO believes that Eskimos in general, all over the reindeer country will welcome the change
 "This will make every owner be care full of his own property. He will know that when he kills deer it is his deer that is lost Heretofore it has been a company deer and he had no particular interest. When this is accomplished and the herds are kept together, so that when an animal is lost, it goes into the record, whether it is lost, killed by pred atory animals or birds, or any other way, it will be known and it is charged to the mark of the owner.
 This is long step toward the recov- ary of the reindeer industry. The next thing will be to designate the limits of each range by lease or otherwise, so each herd owner will know the area in which he will be protected in his right to graze his animals"
 MT. Andrews reasoning is theoretical lv sound If the Eskimo has a realiza- tion of the actuality of his ownership and the responsibility it entails, individ- ual ownership and operation ought to re- suit in saving the remnants of Seward Peninsula's once large reindeer herds (Jessen's Weekly)

Col. W. J. Verbeck Given Merit Award

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKAN DEPARTMENT = In recognition of his invaluable service in the expulsion of the enemy from the Aleutian Islands" Colonel William J. Verbeck, General Staff Corps, of Brooklyn and Syracuse, N. Y., has been awarded the Le- zion of Merit by It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., Alaskan De- partment commander.
 Colonel Verbeck was cited for except ionally merjtorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services as assistant intelligence officer and later as intelligence officer of the Alaskan Department during the period from November 25, 1941, to April 29 of this year.
 "As assistant intelligence off cer he served as chief of the Counter Intelligence Subsection and later as chief of the Combat Intelligence Subsection" the ci- tation said.

 "We are the Master Race, "The Ger mans were meant to rule the world, and many other catch phrases were drill ed into the German youth, through the Hitler German Youth Movement.
 The youth of Germany was not to know what had become of the rest of the world until the time when the signal would be given to go forward as a machine among other war machines to crush all before them.
 On October 1, 1888, this signal was given, and the German armies moved into Czechoslovakia
 The Italians, finding the Germans en- larging their holdings by force, and with immunity, decided to gather some terri tory to themselves by annexing Albania in April, 1889.
 The Nazi war machine was itching for more victories, since there was no op position from outsiders, so they invaded Poland September 1, 1889, and in quick succession followed the Jewish purge" , invasion of Belgium, May 10, 194o, spread their destruction through the Netherlands, Luxemburg, and the fol- lowing week, in the lightning war the Germans broke through the Maginot Line, in France, and in less than a month, on June 14, 1940, just four years ago, the Germans entered Paris.
