SKI CLUB MEMBERS
 TO HIKE TO CABIN
 SUNDAY; CUT WOOD

That first good snowfall in the hills brought out Juneau skiers, not to ski, as yet, but to reactivate the Juneau Ski Club.
 At meeting held last night at I8 o'clock in the City Council Chambers, colored movies taken on the Douglas Ski Run were shown by Trevor Davis.
 Following the pictures, officers for the coming year were elected ]: Bill Hixson, President; Ernie Par sons, president, and Joe Wer- ner, Secretary treasurer.
 Plans were then formulated for a woodchoppers brigade to go to the upper cabin Sunday to stock it with wood for the coming season. The women in the party are to clean the cabin. The brigade is to assemble in the Baranof Hotel at 8 o'clock Sunday morning for a no-host breakfast before hitting the trail.
 Curtis Shattuck, energetic retir- ing president, explained it was necessary for the club to cut it's own fire wood this year, as the Forest Service did not have suffi- cient manpoWer to do it, as they have in previouS years
 The following visiting members from other ski clubs were intro duced to the group: Capt. w. G. Carr, Tacoma Ski Club; M. l. Perry. Benton Ski Club, and Ott Smithberg, Bellingham, Washing ton.

Morris, Margot Bailey, Estelle Casler, Edith Dan ielson, Eric Sunderstrom, Art Kassner, Linore Smithberg.

Fresh pro- sress was made in the area near ttfcf ', border. The Third Division joined the other three divisions and attack ed south of the city yesterday on a 25-mile front. They gained up to three miles, and at least 16 villages were captured in the combined ad- vance of the Third and Seventh Arr mics with two-thirds of the Army Corps of the Twelfth and Twentieth Armies in action.
 Attack Spreads
 South of Metz the attack spread all the way from Cheminot, 10 miles south of Metz and four miles east of the Moselle River, to the Chateau Salins area, where the doughboys
 
 hammered mile-deep wedge north of the Rhlne- -Marne canal at point 20 miles east of Nancy and an equal distance west of Saarebourg.

The w ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt Col Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-UncenSored dip- lomatic advices reaching Washing ton from Moscow reveal that lot more happened behind the scenes of the Stalin- Churchill conferences to mend United Nations harmony than was generally reported.
 No. on the list from the purely Russian viewpoint was the frank agreement with the British that the Soviet Union has every right to guarantee it's borders, make cer- tain that it is never again sub jected to surprise attack
 Stalin was very blunt on this point. He emphasized to Churchill that the best guarantee of a peace full Russia was group of friendly and strong Soviet neighbors on all Russian borders Stalin also saiC that while he was willing to make many concessions for the sake ot peace, he was also prepared to be tough if the British attempted any finagling.
 Despite these blunt remarks, how ever, best evidence of the success of the conferences was the warm spirit in which Stalin and Churchill concluded their talks.
 Stalin was glowing in his tributes to the United States and Great Britain, pointed out there were some areas of disagreement, ex- pressed confidence they would be smoothed out.
 Churchill was equally enthusi- aStic.
 We want you to know that al the world realizes it was the Rec Army that clawed the guts out ol the filthy Nazi war machine" saic

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-PreSident Roosevelt's fourth term victory, sweeping in the electral vote, was won by the smallest popular vote margin since 1916
 Nearly complete returns indi- cated that with 44,353,855 votes reported, the Presidents edge over Dewey is only about 3,000,000 votes. Roosevelt has received 23,610,587 votes and Dewey 20,743,268.
 The President, however, is lead ing in electoral votes with AS, and the Dewey states only gave him 1l8, but where Michigan's 19 votes eventually will wind up, is still in doubt, although Dewey holds a slight lead.
 Four years ago, the President won the popular vote of over B. 000.000 over Willkie and beat Landon by more than 10,000,00O and Hoover by more than 100000.
