promotion to Captain on'January TO-
according to a letter received here.
Rex as he is known by his legion
of friends in Juneau, is with the
infantry and is stationed at Camp
Fanniil, Texas.
Chittick was a soldier years before
the present war but when his en-
hstment expired, came to Juneau
and soon after married Rose Fem

When the Second World War broke
out, Rex, who always liked the army
life, was anxious to get into the
present fight, quit his job with the
Femmer Transfer Company and got
right back into a uniform of Uncle
Sam. He entered the army two
years ago as First Sergeant and
gradually went up in rank and is
now Captain.
Mrs. Chittick has been with her
husband in Texas for the past year.

Population Difficulty
Then there will be the difficult
operation OF shifting some popula-
tons, such as that of East Prussia,
which may have to be moved into
the Reich II Poland takes over the
province. That will be a tremen-
dous undertaking.
But most important OF all, as
see 1t, Is the necessity Of giving
the people OF Germany and Japan
new philosophy Of life--the phil
osophy OF peace and goodwill. That
can only be achieved by a long
process OF education. Hitler
showed us what intensive school
ing can do in the way of instilling
evil thoughts. Now we have to
reverse his training.
