Some drivers actually believe
that skidding is an excuse against
responsibility for accidents. But
any one who deliberately ventures
onto slippery snow or ice without

ALGIERS- They forded the icy stream in darkness, and slogged forward in the treacherous sucking mud of the uncharted minefields. As their own supporting artillery fire died. the enemy's resistance be- came desperate, and intense orange tracers licked out like serpents' tongues. Mortars blew the mud into geysers.
 When daylight came, the United States Fourth division had driven nearly half mile.
 Do you remember how last win ter every half-mile seemed poten- tially decisive in opening up the mountain route to Rome?
 Some of the wounded of the lead ing battalion could walk. Others came on stretchers. blood soaking through the canvas and dripping like a leaky faucet. Mud-smeared medics set them down gently on the stone floor of the stable with sag ging roof.

Everett Petticrew, local fisher man made a decided faux pas" one day last week when he caught an lS-foot shark off WrangeIl, took out the valuable liver and tossed the skin of the denizen of the deep overheard.
 Petticrew was fishing for halibut when he hooked the shark.
 When he landed at the dock he found he had liver worth over $70.
 My wife wanted me to bring in the skin" he said, ''but I threw it overheard. They're no good are they?" he asked.
 "Only about s6O or $7O dollars. !" the fish buyer said. from a shark that size.
 All of Which shows that wives and their munitions come in handy somatimes-if husbands would only appreciate 1t.

What Your Bonds Mean
 At The Front

The chest cases made dry gasping noises. The others were silent-eyes closed. or staring frantically at the busy surgeon.
 A boy with his khaki blanket pulled up to his chin spoke without a tremor when the surgeon drew it aside. How is it, Doc?"
 The face of Captain Leon Fill of Detroit was as impasslve as marble. "OK." he said, as his surgical scis- sors shipped off two tattered strings of flesh which had been the bey2s left foot Fragments of a German mine had ripped both legs to the hip. The groin was mass of torn flesh crusted with blood.
 I had Is mine-wounded in four hours," the surgeon said later. God, they were men destroyed-all but their spirit. I can't stand to see many more just now. Why is it that those who suffer most complain the least? How can you describe their sacrifice?"

Child Care
 Center Planned In WrangeIl

<Sa Plans for the establishment of a Chfd Care Center in Wrangell dur @hg"the cannery season to permit ,GoC6ers time to work in cannertes are being formulated and question =najres. are now out Jo the residents of the community in an effort to determine the number of mothers who wish to work. The question naires should be returned as soon as possible to the City Clerk and persons desiring to work also are requested to get in touch with Charles SadIer, Secretary of the Cannery Workers Auxiliary Union. so they may be registered for em- ployment.
 Mayor F. G. Hanford, on his re- cent trip to Juenau, conferred with officials there in connection with the plan which. has been worked out in other Alaska communities. Financial aid is given where the need is found necessary under the Lanham Act which has matching Luuu AoA 6uCu pu4 pOSSo'
 Details of the plan follow:
 A building suitable for housing from 25 to 5O children is needed. A matron-cook should be in charge. A teacher or nurse might also be used to direct and look after the health of the children. If a nurse is avail able to take the responsibility Of the Center and act as supervisor, it would be helpful.
 Last year Cordova had such Child Care Center. They met in the school building from s to 5 daily. There were 27 children of the ages from to 10. Each child paid 25 cents per day for the days it was in attendance. A teacher was in charge and a matron-cook helped. These two. were on a salary. Two assistants were volunteers.
 A stove and cooking utensils will be needed. as well as tables and behches. If assistance is secured un- deR the Lanham Act, cots, blankets, slIqes and ether play equipment will DS,s S,sp1ofAuSu' d AuASS UT m1tiOA WAAA see that the children observe rest periods, as well as supervise their play periods. A large hall like the ANB halt,would be especially adapt able for there would be room for gaines during play periods when the weather was such that outdoor play ing would be inadvisable.
 
 Eaundry service will be provided. Paper plates, cups and napkins cot1d be used to cut down the dish washing and laundry. The Lanham Ack matches funds for this Child Care. Center with those provided by the City. the canneries, and any do natisns, of. services made by volun-

 South Pacific
 May 22, 1944 Dear Andy:
 Have thought of writing you many times, but somehow never did. The news. what little that's allowed, isn't exactly nice. Every thing is going much better here, and I guess on all fronts. The Japs are back peddling about as fast as they at first starter. Haven't seen or had any air raids for a long time. Have been in quite a few raids and some artillery smelling. They both sure make you hunt foxhOle, and scare the daylights out of me anyway. Although the Japs
 
 long enough to make more than nuisance raids or send over a few artillery shells before our guns and planes put them out of action. Our guns can put up a barrage that's really something. Duck season on the Stikine flats wouldn't sound like much in comparison - though I'd rather be there.
 Often think of the duck dinners We had from the ducks you gave us, and tn moose and deer meat and all the sea foods we enjoyed there. Those shrimp salads and cocktails keep haunting me. Don't suppose the meat rationing effected Alaska much.
 Heard Campbell Bros. sold the grocery business to Curtis and that they only handle hardware and fishing gear. There must be a lot of changes and new people there now. From what papers I get. see many new names, even in the lodge there are strange names to me. The SPCS 40AAAo eA4 dy6 4ulEIc6L I16 ana the lunches and dances remind me of happier days when I could sit at the council fires and the lunches and choice stories and spend a plea sant winter evening. Was very sorry and surprised to hear that brother Williamson had passed away. He always seemed so well and full of pep.
 How is the building there now? Can you get materials to work with other than from the local mill?
 Andy, I'd sure like to hear from you. Mail is certainly a big thing to us over here. Does Arnold still work in Seattle? Give them and Mrs. Prusi my best regards, and all the brothers of the lodge.
 AS ever yours,
 Carl -V-
