Associated Press War Writer

American soldiers and Marines
have completed occupation of
Kwajalein atoll of the Marshalls-
a mid-Pacific Japanese fortress
for a quarte1-century-and Sea-
bees rapidly are smoothing its
bombton airfield runways for as
saults on more distant enemy
lands.
Adm. Chester w. Nimitz in a
communique yesterday said the
occupation is virtually complete,
with 81 named and several
other unnamed; undefended isles
in American hands. There are
30-odd islets in this biggest Of all
atolls.
Already such street signs as
''Times Square" and 'Holly-
wood Boulevard" are springing up
on scared Namur island as sal,
wage and repair work goes for
ward whit rush; and Marines are
exercising their trained dogs on
the SCARED but now quiet beach.
Navy search planes meanwhile
bombed Ujelang atoll-40O miles
west of Kwajalein land only 25C
miles north of the nearest Japa-
nese-held Caroline atoll. It was
the first announcement of any raid
on this target, and might indicate
the Japanese have an airfield
there - potential threat to
American operations in the Mar
shalls.
Ujelang, together with Wolfe
atoll and Taroa island of Malice
lap atoll, was hit Feb. 8. Admiral
Nimitz said.
Army heavy and medium bomb
ers pounded Worje and Maloelap

hit Mill. On Feb. S, carrier planes
again struck EniWetok, most north-
westerly of the Marshalls atolls.

 DISMISSED THIS MONTH
 IN PETERSBURG CASES

JUNEAU A settlement of the pending Treble Damage Actions filed by the Office of Price Ad- mtnistration last August against F. J. Fryer and Robert NJ. Allen marine repair operators. has re- suited in the dismissal of those cases by the Administrator on February 5, 1914.
 These suits were brought on ac-
 count of alleged overcharges to customers of the two marine re- pair establishments contrary to the General Maximum Price Regu- Iation and Maximum Price Regu- lation No. 136. The former regula- tion maintains prices for services in the absence of specific regula- tion at the March 1882 level, and the latter is a specific regulation covering machinery services. It was alleged that the defendants had increased repair rates without petitioning for an adjustment.

In the countryside surrounding
 us there are a great many oppOr-
 mites for greater health and keen
 enjoyment. The youth of Wrangell
 fail to realize what fun it is Co
 take advantage of the great out-ot-
 doors. and do not see the possibil-
 ities of the untiring devotion of Mother Nature. We fail to appre- ciate what she offers us, and look to various paltry sports for our dl- version. In fact, most of us, not all. have come to the point where we "pOoh-pOoh" the suggestion of taking field trips to explore the open book of natural science about us. we scoff at hikes saying that there is no place to go." and We refuse to believe that there is any point to the enjoyment of hobbies such as photography which the physical aspects of our territory afford. And then, when we find nothing satisfying to occupy our minds, we groan and lay the blame upon the shoulders of our parentsI and various civic-minded people a. bout our town.
 I know the greater percentagel of the younger set will pay no at tention whatsoever to his admon- ishing article. I doubt if very many will even read it. But l know that to those who love the out-of-doors as l do, it will hold some meaning. Let it's words sink in. and perhaps it's thoughts will l bear fruit. Fruit of health and | wholesome enjoyment, such as clubs for boating photography, nature hunting, skiing (when there is snow), and hiking; asso- citations for nature study and for gardening; and perhaps an organ ization for furthering conservation of our natural resources, and pro- lection of the various wildlife which is abundant in our forests.
 Therefore, in view of the sug- gestions offered above, I advise all children of school age to take heed and to appreciate the wonderful opportunities for healthful enjoy ment which lie about us.
