ODD FELLOWS HALL BURNS TO GROUND

the fire department was called to a fire at the Odd Fellows Hall. The fire was of unknown origin.
 Mrs. David Joe, going home from work, saw the smoke pour ing from beneath the building and ran home to tell her husband, who turned in the alarm, just as Jack Henderson rushed into the fire station to report the same fire.
 When the department arrived at the fire, smoke was so thick the fire could not be seen sui ficiently to fight it. The caretaker. Robert Ledgerwood, 88, was sleep ing in a room on the second floor of the building. and was awaken ed by coughing due to the excess smoke. He arose and rushed downstairs and succeeded in get ting to the main floor, where he was discovered by George Mad sen, who took him to the Mad sen residence across the street.
 At first the fire was confined to space beneath the building directly below the boiler room, but later 1t spread through the floor and walls to other parts of the building, which being old and very dry, took fire immediately.
 The building was so entirely fill ed with thick smoke. that noth- ing could be saved, all equipment, furniture and fixtures and lodge regalia being lost.
 Except for the lodge rooms on the second floor. the building was unused until recently, when the R. J. Sommers Construction Com pany leased it and began repairs and renovating for a place for their employees.
 When it was learned the build ing could not be saved tn eWater was used to protect nearby homes and buildings from the terrific heat of the flames which leaped, at times, at least 500 feet into the air.
 The volunteer fire department and the citizens of Nome who went to the fire, worked for more than four hours to keep the fire from spreading beyond the limits of the building, finally getting the flames under control, and allowed the rubble to burn itself out.
 At the time of going to press to- day, 36 hours later, the charred timbers are still smoking.
 The passing of the Odd Eel lows Hall from among the few remaining landmarks of Old Nome. causes a distinct handi- cap in the fraternal life of Nome, as many lodges and orders used the hall for their meetings.
 The building was constructed in 1903, and was dedicated as the Nome High School and public school and was used as such un- til 1885 when the present Terri torial school building was con- structed and dedicated, leaving the old school building vacant.
 The Odd Fellows purchased the building from the city and re- modelled it into lodge hall with facilities for holding parties and dances. The Odd Fellows were to meet in the hall Friday night as usual, but in view of the fact they have no meeting place, the Ma sons, through their worshipful Master, Luther Dunbar, have of fered their temple for use of the Odd Fellows for the regular meet ing tonight Friday at 500 p. m. All Odd Fellows are requested to attend this meeting.

INVASION
 PARTIES ARE ENCOUNTERED

N'S' H1iiA, iiiSica, Apl H. (AP)-Japanese invasion parties have been encountered in the Vii cinity of Bishenpore-Silcher jun gle track southwest of Imphal, further threatening isolation to both the Manipur plain, and the advanced allied bases at Assam, the communique from Lord Mounbatten said today.
 A Domei broadcast from Tokyo said: "We have closed the last escape gap. out of the Imphal ba- sin"
 British Indian Fourth Army Corps were cut off by a flying Japanese column. which took the height on the Imphal- -Whaoching highway, 20 miles northwest of Imphal. Elsewhere on the Assam front however, the Jap invasion forces made no progress.
 To the north around Koh:ma. the communique said allied oper- ations were clearing the road be- tween Imphal and Dimapur on the Bengal-Assam railway, the life line to the progressing Japanese who were previously rpeorted penetrating west of the road, both north and south of Imphal; but have not been encountered be- fore on the road leading to Sil- char, 70 miles west of Imphal and terminus of spur Inc from the Bengal Assam railway.
 Lord Mountbatten himself, paid a visit to the Imphal front to get first-hand information on the confused situation, where the British are fighting infiltration tactics of the enemy
 Meanwhile, there was a new outbreak on the Arakan front in !; which the Japs suffered TOO killed in week of fighting around aButhedaung and made slight penetrations but were counter attacked with allied success.
 Steady, but slow progress was made by Gen. StilIwell's Chinese Americans in North Burma. with Brig. Gen. Merrills marauders plunging south and capturing an important sector in the mountains east of the Mogaung Valley, about 34 miles north on the Mandalay- Myitkyina railway, against bitter ly resisting Japanese.
 In New Delhi the British-own- ed Bombay Times declared, "It appears that the publicity side of the Japanese offensive against Imphal has not been happily handled" and urged the allied military leaders to give the pub lie realistic picture of the enemy invasion of India
 The paper add:
 ''It is true that one southeast Asia communique described it as a major offensive, but since then the tendency has been to treat the attack as an irresponsible opera ton.
 $ The new Moslem organ "Dawn" published a somewhat similar edi- torial comment, declaring, "The enemy advances in Assam are confession of weakness so that the Japanese must offer further token of invasion"

were a little while back about having
the state do too many things.
There are some who look back
longingly to the Gompers slogan of
"pure and simple" trade unionism,
when you didn't have to have bat
terry of lawyers to work out a wage
contract, nor get permission from the
government to do it.
Gompers fought lifetime for vol
untary institutions, meaning mainly
voluntary organizations of labor,
with which the state should have
nothing to do. A great many wish
that condition could return.
In politics Gompers went out to "re-
ward friends and punish enemies" and
it was that principle that started the
knockout for the reactionary and
grating politicians of the days of
Uncle Joe Cannon.
The policies of the unions in the
Gompers days were simple and easily
understood. The philosophy was deep
and great many accepted it without
understanding it especially well.
Gompers stood SO firmly that many
took his word for things and followed
without question.
But things happened. After he died
there came the great depression and
then came Franklin D. Roosevelt. The

Hamilton Issues Call For More
Volunteers to Sell War Bonds

A call for additional volunteer bond
statesmen for the fourth War Loan
drive, January 18 to February Is, was
issued by j. HI. Warndorf, general
chairman. He said approximately 500
more statesmen are needed
Butler County's quota is $8,623 900
of which $4,251 900 must be sold to
individuals. Emphasis will be placed
on Series E bonds which the bonda-
diers will sell house-to-house. Bank
participation in the Forthcoming drive
will be limited, Warndorf stated.
The Series E goal for Butler County

Once book was written about the
life of great man. 1t was called
Seventy Years of Life and Labor"
Folks are talking about it again, after
about twenty years, because it has
been re-issued in a one-volume edi-
tion. Originally it was in two big
books, so big that number of persons
said they had read it, but hadn't.
Like a great many books, it wasn't
written entirely in the language of the
man whose life it chronicled, but it did
contain lot of his philosophy and a
great deal of history. 1t made some
big points.
The reason there is new talk about
this book is that today we are again
at some sort of cross roads, where
we face the issue of how much the
state is going to control and how
much is going to be left to non-state
control.

years Of life and labor were devoted
to getting people to do things for
themselves, is being re-quoted by

Report Your Social
Security Number

You may lose money if your en-
ployer does not have a record of your
social security account number, Will
liam ]. McCauley, manager of the
Hamilton, Ohio, field office of the So
cial Security Board, warned
He said failure of workers to report
their account numbers to employers
is all to prevalent in some sections,
especially in such industries as truck
mines, sawmills, timbering and the
like, and in small establishments.
Without your social security num-
Der the Board cannot keep record of
your earnings. Benefits paid under So
cial security depend on the wages
which are on record. Many persons
may later lose part of the money due
them, or their families, because they
failed to report their number to every
person for whom they worked, and
therefore cannot receive proper credit
/ for their earnings.
All persons should protect them
selves and their families by making
sure they ge tcredit for what they
pay for. Nobody would want to pay
money on insurance unless he made
sure they get credit for what they
a correct record or it. social security
is just like insurance.
1t is just as important to report
your number to small employers as
though you worked in large factory,
