 Rutherford has been running the mill since 1919 He completed work on the main mill building in 1926.
 At peak run the mill could pro- duce almost 100000 board feet a day, and practically all of the lum- Der went for military purposes.
 Repairs To Be Made
 Rutherford said that if repairs can be made and equipment secur- ed, he wants to resume operations as soon as possible. He said that workmen will continue to go ahead with repairs on undamaged sections of the mill, that the main building will be put back in shape if mater ial and men are available.
 During normal operations the mill has payroll of approximately $20,000 a month, exclusive of log ging and towing operations.
 In addition to the material dam- age, the loss of business while re- pairs are being made will run into thousands of dollars.

PROCLAMATION
 ISSUED FOR RED
 CROSS CAMpAI

Gov. Ernest Gruening has issued the following proclamation relative to the American Red Cross fund drive which starts today and con- tinues for several weeks:
 "Once again you are called upon to join in the war fund drive of the American Red Cross which has set aside the month of March for it's annual appeal to the nation.
 The American Red Cross de- sires to raise s95, 400 in Alaska to meet the wartime needs of the national organization and the local chapters This year more than eighty-seven percent of the funds will be devoted to Red Cross ser- vices to the armed forces.
 Tt is scarcely necessary to tell the people of Alaska about the in- valuable service of the American Red Cross. Its activities have long teen notable throughout the world, and the Territory has played it's part both in giving support and in receiving benefits from this organi- zation.
 Tt is. therefore, my pleasure and duty to issue this proclamation urg- ing Alaskans to contribute more generously than ever before to this American institution which partic- ularly serves our Army and Navy, including the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps, and likewise comes to the aid of civilian communities in distress"

Conserve American Oil

able trend of the war, ii is high time
for them to be carrying the bulk of
the burden-for the duration of the
war, and for an indeterminate period
after the war in order to enable the
American sources to profit from the
processes of conservation and dis
covery.
Nobody knows, of course. what
the total supply of oil may be in the
United States or III the world at
large.
The visible supply, however is
we'll known and is alarmingly small
1t could very well be exhausted in
the next quarter century.
What future discoveries may be
is something for the future to
disclose.
IN THE meantime, the only sound
policy is to conserve the visible
supply.
That certainly should be our
American policy.
Hence, the Persian Gulf-to-
Mediterranean Sea pipe line project
is a good thing.
1t is a necessary and equitable
thing for America, because we have
expended our vital resources lavishly
in a war upon which the fates of
many other nations depend as much
as our own.
II is an advantageous and profit
able enterprise for the countries
directly involved, because it will
develop and exploit their resources
and thus enrich them.
The objections to it. in this coun-
try at least, are largely speculative.
THE main objection is that it is
capable of being the forerunner
of government ownership-and thus
Of bureaucratic control-of the entire
oil industry and ultimately of all
industry.
The present American govern
ment is undoubtedly and unfortu-
nately inclined in that direction.
But the answer is obvious.
The American people can have
any kind of government they desire.
If they want a government that
can be depended upon to respect and
preserve the traditional and benefi-
cJal system of American free enter
prise, let them ELECT that kind of
a government.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-02-18

THE projected American-built oil
pipe line linking the Persian
Gulf fields and the Mediterranean
Sea is wholly logical and perfectly
feasible
1t is logical because there has
been an excessive drain on American
sources of oil by the war and all of
the United Nations, especially Great
Britain, have benefited; and there
fore the United States is entitled to
access to foreign supplies in order to
Teplenish and conserve American
supplies.
1t is feasible because there are no
serious engineering or scientific OBJ
structions TO the proposed 1,2O0-mile
pipe line, there is no reasonable basis
for objection by the countries to be
traversed, and the maximum esti-
mated cost of $3.50 100000 is not pro
hibltive.
A S PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
a has said in relation to this mat
ter;t depletion Of American oil has
become SO serious that the United
States can no longer depend on
domestic sources alone either in war
or in peace and must necessarily and
inevitably find additional sources
elsewhere
The diminishing American oil
supply is very real problem, and a
grave problem.
Even in normal times. the Ameii-
can consumption of oil amounted to
about two-thirds of all the oil con
sumed in the world.
In the present war, and especially
in the early phases of the conflict,
American oil has supplied not only
our own vastly expanded civilian and
military needs but the needs of most
of our Allies as well.
The latter fact was true because
the principal foreign sources Of oil
upon which our Allies depended
those in the Persian Gulf area and
the Middle East-were virtually IN
accessible.

A Nd Jesus said.
"A 'WhosoeVer heareth these
sayings of Mine, and doeth them, |
will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon rock. And
the rains descended. and the floods
came, and the winds blew and beat
upon that house; and II fell not for
it was founded upon a rock"
For about $50 years we lived in
a house on A rock. II wasn't a very
pretentious house, quite simple in de-
sign. Early American architecture, il
had rough, hand-hewn beams in the
ceilings, broad. thick boards in the
floors, great wide fireplaces made of
native stone.
But II was commodious and COM
Portable; snug and warm in the win
ter, cool and fresh in the summer.
1t was big enough for us all.
People from the far corners of the
earth settled down in this house and
lived tremendously and happily to-
gether.
Safe and secure we lived in this
house because it was built upon
rock.
The rock7 the Constitution Of
the United States, the most sub
stantiai rock eUer given to a
nation, the rock Which for the
first time in the history of the
World guaranteed to the indiUid-
uol man, the security Of his per-
son, his family, his possessions,
and the opportunity to express
and liUe his freedom.
DUT as time passed we gradually
II took our rock for granted. it was
so solid, so secure.
We knew vaguely that upon this
rock, - little, scattered colonies had
grown into a powerful nation of IS
states and that in our house we be-
came the richest most powerful peo-
pie in the world.
We forgot that our house was
built in travail and suffering. that
blood was shed before we climbed to
the top of the rock. But our fore
fathers knew and when they built this
house they were determined that it
should endure.
Therefore our Constitution is not
something handed down from gener-
alton TO generation by word of mouth.
Il is not based alone upon usage, Gus
tom or precedence.
They took a piece of paper and
THEY WROTE IT DOWN. Because
they understood the nature of a man
so well.
They knew that a man in power
does not change his nature and unless
he were bound down by the prohibit
tons of written constitution, the
chosen head of our house would always
be dangerous to the safety of our
government and to the rights and lib
critics of our people.
JEFFERSON stated it exactly:
IN QUESTIONS OF POWER,
THEN. LET NO MORE BE HEARD
OF CONFIDENCE IN MAN, But
BIND HIM DOWN FROM MISCHIEF
By THE CHAINS OF THE CONSTI-
TUITION"
But the reason that our house was
so safe upon the rock was because 1t
was anchored to it by 10 long pillars
of forged steel. Deep holes were
drilled in the rock and these pillars
set far down in the finest cement.
Inc cement was new. IL was COM
pounded Of the RIGHTS OF THE
COMMON MAN. THE DIGNITY OF
THE INDIVIDUAL-every man as
good as every other man.
Nowhere else in the world will
you find it.
It's an American product and
