of Chateau-Thierry. m
Other U. S: Third army spear

the broken enemy lines along the

were 80 miles east of Lagny, a
Marine town whose capture was
announced yesterday. ilt
With their breakthrough at
Meaux, which blasted any enemy
hope of a determined stand along
the natural barrier of the upper

Adolf Hitler forced his harsh

All these latest surges on the

Judge Smith previously had
recommended the appointment
of Ferguson to fill the vacancy.
David Sinclair took the floor
at the meeting and told mem

Bill Rhodes, who ran against
Judge Smith in the last cleo
ton (Smith carried II of 10
precincts), stated that he was
indebted to the recorder for
beating him out of the job.
There was some question
among the commissioners as to
whether or not Judge Smith
should be allowed to recon-
mend anyone as deputy re-

held his move, stating that if
Judge Smith was going to
nave the responsibility of the

to select his own man for

Christmas Early For Servicemen


 Save strong string and box material and start to plan shop. ping" Postmaster General Frank c. Walker advises Americans in announcing the rules for mailing of Christmas gifts for Army and Navy personnel overseas.
 This year the Christmas mail ing period for both Army and Navy overseas forces is the same September 15 to October 15. After Oct 15 no gift parcel may be mailed to a soldier with out the presentation of a written request from him
 The great demands upon ship ping and the need for giving pref erence to arms, munitions, medi- cine and food is the prime reason for the early mailing date. More over, gift parcels must travel great distances to reach Army and Navy personnel who are loc- ated at remote points, and fre- quently the transfer of large numbers to new stations necessi- tates forwarding of the packages and additional time is required "The response our people made last year during the overseas mailing period demonstrated that they will cooperate in any meas ure designed for the welfare ol our armed forces personnel, MT. Walker said. Ut is not easy to concentrate on Christmas gifts ln the midst of warm weather here at home but our people recogniz- ed the need, and because tbey want the men and women who are absent from their homes to know that they are not forgotten at Christmas they took pains to assure prompt delivery of Christ mas gifts"
 More care should be taken in wrapping and packing than last year as many presents were dam aged in transit. Last year late mailings, causing concentration of great numbers of packages in the final days threatened to de- feat the early-mailing program.

ROY JACKSON E HERE;
 IS TO PROCESS CASES
 ON WAGE VIOLATIONS

Roy E. Jackson, Chief Enforce ment Attorney, War Labor Board, has arrived in Juneau from Fair banks to process an accumulation of cases involving violations of the wage stabilization regulations by employers in Juneau and vicinity.
 Jackson advised that while at Fairbanks he disposed of thirty cases where employers were operating in violation of the regulations; that these cases were disposed of by settlement of the violations by stip- ulations with each employer. That approximately $90,00000 in pen alties or disallowances for income tax purposes were imposed against employers there; that a number of cases remain to be disposed of and will be considered by the Enforce ment Division at a later date, when investigations have been completed.
 Jackson advised that he would be glad to confer with all employers who have made wage adjustments to employees which have not been approved by the War Labor Board and who are desirous of clearing up their possible violations of the wage stabilization regulations. He can be reached at the War Labor Board office, room 204, Federal Building.

DRAMATIC STORY NOW PORTRAYED
 AS CAPITOL BILL

Lauded as one of the most deep ly expressing motion pictures ever to come from Hollywood, Flesh and Fantasy" co-produced by Charles Boyer and Julien Duvi- yier, is scheduled to open tonight at the Capitol Theatre. The new Uni versal film described as a radical departure in screen entertainment, has a cast of noted stars which include many outstanding cinema players. The stars include Robert Benchley, Betty Field, Robert Cum mings, ward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer and Barbara Stan wyck
 Based on stories by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph, Flesh and Fantasy" is said to blend three dramatic episodes with novel effect. Ernest Pascal, Sam uel Hoffenstein and Ellis St. Jo- seph wrote the screen play which is declared to be a remarkable con- tribution to movie literature. Fact and fancy are mingled in fascinat- ting manner as separate trains of human events overlap through cir cumstances and logical coincidence.

SEPTEMBER WAS DRY MONTH; ALSO
 PLENTY SUNSHINE

The people of Juneau experienced drier weather than is usual for the month of September. Less precipi- tation was recorded that month at both the city and airport offices than during any September on record since 1926 While the air is becoming cooler with the coming of fall weather and picnics are not so prevalent, twice as much sun shine was recorded this year as compared with last year, with one day of 100 per cent sunshine and six days with over 50 per cent being recorded. There were six days during the month on which no precipitation was recorded and one day on which there wasn't a cloud in the sky and five days on which one-half or less of the sky was covered with clouds.
 Maximum wind velocities for a 5-minute period were 25 miles or more per hour on two days and the average velocity for the month was 6.9 miles per hour with pre- vailing direction from the north.

ABOARD A COAST GUARD CUTTER SOMEWHERE IN THE FAR NORTH (SpeciaD Coast Guardsman William H. Dore, sea- man second class, of Douglas, AL aska, is a member of the crew of this cutter which put into sub Arctic port to aid the natives in setting up beacon lights to guide the Eskimo population over the frozen waste land during the long winter nights.
 When the Coast Guard ship ar- rived at the port early in the morning, it was met by natives who padded out in their oomiaks (skin boats) to greet the visiting sailors. The smiling natives told the crew they were the first white men to visit the village in almost a year, and proceeded to give them a welcome to fit the occasion.
 Eskimos dressed in animal skins still smelling faintly of their for mer tenants set up stands where all types of carved ivory were bar tered for candy and chewing gum Shouts of Me like candy. You want trader" echoed throughout the tiny community.
 In the afternoon, the command ing officer of the ship showed an American made motion picture tc the Eskimos.
 AS night fell and the cutter pre- pared to depart, the natives bade goodbye to the Coast Guardsmer in Pidgin English, White man good fellow. Him come again soon."
 Loaded down with ivory, the Coast Guardsmen promised they'd be back with more candy on the next trip.
