Wards had never objected to such
an election and stood ready, as pre-

DRAFT:
3O-37 Spared

Confident of meeting the services
demands for manpower out of the
pool of younger men unless I'M
expectedly high battle casualties are
suffered, draft officials gave a new
lease on civilian life to men from
30 to 81 years of age by indefinitely
deferring them If engaged in es-
sential occupations.
At the same time, it was ruled that
men in the rs to 20 year age group
were to be eligible for six-month
deferments If found to be necessary
and regularly employed in an essen
tial occupation. Deferments in the IS
to rs year age group will continue
to be confined to strictly key-men.
In indefinitely deferring men in
the 80 to 81 group in essential work,
local boards were advised not only
to go by the War Manpower COM
missions list Of necessary jobs, but
to make determinations of their own.

SCIENCE:
Spoiled CantaIoupe

The u. S. department of agricul-
lures research laboratory at Peoria,
ILL.,, continues as one of the centers
Of penicillin development, with the
latest discovery that spoiled cante-
loupe produces a mold efficient in
making the wonder drug.
Although it is little known, British
Doctors Heatley and Florey made
the Peoria lab their workshop in de-
veloping methods of increasing peni-
cillin production after they had been
bombed out of London in 1871.
The discovery of the spoiled cam
teloupe mold came only after the
laboratory's scientists had studied
growths on cheese, fruits and other
foods as part of a search for mold
from which much Of the penicillin
would not be lost during separation
of the drug from the liquid in which
it develops.

EUROPE:
First BIov

Taking the first crack at Hitler's
Fortress Europe in the expected
three-headed offensive from the
west, south and east, the u. S. and
British armies in Italy launched

In the west, Allied bombers

over which anti-invasion Comdr.
Erwin Rommel must shuttle troops

STA, the Reds repeatedly moved
troops up in line for big offensive
to coincide with western operations.
Under command Of Britain's Gen.
Harold Alexander, the Allied push
in Italy up the broad valleys lead

thunderous artillery bombardment,
while the Nazis tried to neutralize
other Allied forces massed on the

SIGN OF THE TIMES:
Helicopter Field on Roof

The roof of huge industrial build
ing being planned for New York
city will be designed as landing
field for helicopter airplanes. Com
muters will be able to fly in from
country estates In nearby New Jer-
sey and Connecticut as well as Long
Island and upstate New York, land
ing within a few blocks from the
center Of business.
Helicopters have passed the ex-
perimental stage but commercial
development has been held up by
the war.
The enormous building will cover
about four city blocks and be IL
stories high. The great floor space
provided is intended for assembly
line industries, according to the
architects plans.
Construction, which will take
about a year, and furnish employ
ment for 1000 workmen, will cost
approximately $4,000, 900. financed

OIL:
Big Strike

Mississippi's little village of Hell
delberg in the southeast corner of
the state, became the mecca for the
nations sharpest oil men with the
development of two high producing
wells in the region and giddy antici-
pations that it might blossom into
another East Texas field, which has
given up almost two billion barrels
in Is years.
AS oil men rushed to be in on the
kill, the regions poor, struggling
farmers who have eked the barest
living from the stingy soil. suddenly
visioned mamma from heaven. Be-
sides receiving fancy sums for leas-
ing their land, they would get a
royalty of one-eighth on production.
Already, a Negro feportedly OBJ
tanned $17.500 in royalties alone.
First probed by the Gulf Refining
company in 1910, the Heidelberg
field has two heavy producing wells,
both repeatedly capable Of produc-
ing $4,000 barrels daily.

ASIA:
Chinese Set Back

Gallant China's defenders took one
more step back in the eastern belt
of their country as 10000 Japanese
supported by strong reinforcements
drove beyond the Peiping -HankoW
railroad, upon which they frightened
their hold.
AS the Chinese fell back, Lieut.
Gen. Joseph Stilwells mixed U. S.
and Chinese troops hacked their way
forward in north Burma, far to the
southwest of the main Chinese bat
tleground. Purpose of General Still
wells offensive was to clear the
Ledo road, over which supplies could
be trucked into sorely pressed China
from the southwestern corner of the
country.
BY grasping the Peiping- Hankow
railroad, the Japs consolidated their
positions in eastern China, which ex-
tend inland from the sea coast. It
is in this rich region that the cagey
enemy has established heavy indus

CIVILIAN GOODS:
More Coming

To take advantage Of the increas-
ing supply Of surplus materials and
relieve local employment problems.
the War Production board ordered
the resumption Of manufacture Of
civilian goods wherever it would not
interfere with the arms program.
One result of the order was ex-
pected to be a relaxation of re-
straints on production Of simple
farm machinery, like hay leaders
and barn equipment, although WPB
declared that there would be no in
crease in quotas for binders, trac-
tors and mowers, etc.
Regions outside Of the centers Of
heavy war output primarily will
benefit from the WIPES new order,
while companies inside these CEN
tiers will only go into civilian work
with the permission Of the local ur-
gency production boards.

EASTER SUNDAY, 1944

AS this war of savage butchery of millions of people and the literal laying waste of whole cities enters upon the season that presumably will involve slaughter and chaos beyond anything yet seen, Easter Sunday looms significant as never before within the experience of men now living.
 Can any person protesting what ever religious faith or claiming to profess to none, face the coming of this Easter except in a spirit of ut ter humility and with either a pro- found faith in its full significance or at least frankly avowed hope in the truth of the eternal triumph of Life over Death?
 This is not the place to preach on the subject. But we simply cannot bring this column to a close with out reminding all servicemen read ing it that this coming Sunday is Easter, and that all the churches of Juneau will have their doors open wide that day in cordial welcome. We remind them also that at 9:30 that night Easter will be observed in the USO at service which is to be led by Capt. T. J. Dyck of the Salvation Army and which they are invited to attend.

NEW BANDSMEN

The people of Juneau and Doug
 las are helpful to the USO in SC many different ways that it seems impossible to keep up to date in thanks for services rendered. But occasionally few individuals are outstanding in their helpfulness in some special way, and ill any such case, it is a MUST to single them out for citation.
 We used to call it "The Service mems Band" Now, to be accurate, it might well be designated The Servicemen's-High School Band" The three young civilians (not ye. old enough for the Army) whom you have seen playing in recent weeks whenever the orchestra has are Bob Dittman, on the saxaphone; Doug Gregg, on the guitar; and John Lowell, on the trumpet Each of these fellows is still in High School. Everybody who heard the band at the USO Formal Dance last Saturday agreed that they did a fine job. In no small the credit for keeping up the high musical standard is shared by Bob, John, and Doug.

spy DRAMA TO
 END TONIGHT,
 CAPITOL SHOW

Columbias Appointment in Ber- lin," the new and exciting spy drama which ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre brings to the screen an entirely different and unusually dramatic version of the machina- tions of the shrewd and adventur- ous members of modern spy rings. Here we have a highly respected young RAF Commander throwing himself into an orgy of drinking and gambling so that he may be in disgrace" in his own country and thus gain the confidence of a powerful Nazi group.
 This leads to the exciting se- quences where, having established himself as a feature on the Berlin radio, he sends coded messages through the air to the British h. telligence, the while he is hurling words of abuse at his own country.
