gravel road, not concrete, built for mill

as August, 1943, it was so damaged by
late spring floods that Mr.. Lanks had
to put his jalopy on boat and sail down
the Yukon.
During the December storms, most
people found even the main travelled
roads pretty bad, but they are billiard

highway, which will yet be good, but is

LET'S DO SOME BOASTlNG
ABOUT OUR WINTER CLINE

Of course every Imperial Valley read
er inwardly has said "How glad | am
that it's the folks back east who have to
suffer in billiards and temperatures
away below zero" as they scan the news
pages telling of the most severe winter
in years from the Rocky mountains east
and in the northwest areas And it is
right good feeling, too.
But it should not end with the mere
reflection that it is good to be here in
the valley where the sun shines close to
100 per cent of the winter days. We
should be shouting that snug feeling in
stead of just enjoying the sensation OF
living in the best spot in the country.
There still is time to write back to the
old home about it. There will be next win
ter and a thousand next winters. Let's
start now to see that before the next seas
on rolls around again we make united
effort to place the Valley where it right
fully belongs-at the top as the best place
for fasteners to spend their winters.

tell about it now and forevermore.

TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

To ASK whether the charter of
the United Nations will work is
rather like asking whether a Bog
will fly from San Francisco to
Guam. A Bog can be flown that
far. But whether it will be flown
that far does rot depend on the
engineers who designed it and the
managers and workers who manu-
featured it. Tie machine itself will
Eot fly itself anywhere: it has to be
flown by pilot, navigator, and
a crew, and if they do not know
how to operate it, and if they do
not know how to find their way,
the plane, no matter how well de-
signed and constructed, will not
60 to Guam.
The fair and accurate question
to ask about the charter is not
whether the international institu-
ion will work The question is
around and ask whether it will
work, we are really saying that
we expect ''it." a piece Of paper
with words written on it, 10 be a
kind of automatic robot and big tin
god to keep the world at peace.
But if we ask whether we, the
American people acting through
our government and using our
power and influence wisely, can
make it work, then we are asking
the right question. When our owr
Constitution had been written anc
ratified, the question of whether il
would work was answered by
Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson
Marshall, and the others who were
determined to make it work, anc
knew how.
What warrant have we for think
ing that this charter can be made
to promote and preserve peace:
That it is the charter of unior
or confederation which contains al
the nations now capable of wagine
var; war can occur only if this
W.ion is dissolved. This distinguish
es the new organization radically
from the old one. The Geneva
The Wilmington morning star., 1945-06-29

League never contained all the
powers capable of waging war:
Russia was not invited until long
after the United States had declin-
ed to join. Thus the Geneva
League was never a union of the
powers: this association will be
union of the powers. Germany is
no longer power, or even state,
though it is of course nation, or
perhaps several nations. Japan,
when she is defeated, will cease to
be power Eventually Germans
and Japanese will be admitted to
the union. In the mean time, the
union contains all the actual powers
of the world, all who are capable
of Waging war, all that must be
concerned in making and preserv-
ing peace.
Union, then, is the paramount
principle of the Charter.
1t does not establish system of
collective security if by that
ambiguous phrase we mean a sys-
tenn under which al nations un-
dertake to police all other nations.
Under the new charter there is
no undertaking to police any one
OF the five great powers. In fact,
since every smaller state is in
timately associated with at least
one of the five great powers which
as matter of it's own vital in
terest is bound to protect it, the
police function of the new organi-
cation a n n o t be it's basic

Its basic principle is union, as
is the basic principle of the United

wealth: neither in the United States
nor in the British Commonwealth
does there exist a constitutional
right to coerce state or donin-
ion. But we at least have fought
a war, not to coerce state, but to
preserve a union.
The new organization is, there.

people of America have put their young men into uniform, have said to them, in effect: We regret that you must lose your individuality, must become another number in the millions of serial numbers. v Through their USO the same people have said to each of these men: But you are not just an- other fellow in uniform. Each one of you is-as you shall always be an individual person that amounts to something really important
 It was through necessity, ne cessity forced upon them by the aggressor nations, that the Ameri- can people put their men into uniform. It was out of the decency of their hearts that they estab- lished the USO for those men.

RODENT CONTROL PROGRAM 5TART5
 SOON IN JU NEAU
Health Council to Explain Movement al Meeting
 NextTuesddY Night

Plans for the organization of 6 rodent control program to be car ried on in Juneau during the com ing months will be discussed at g called meeting of the Gastineau Pub lie Health Council to be held ir the Methodist Church Parlors or Tuesday, September II, at D. m The program will be sponsored by the Health Council in cooperation with the Juneau Public Health Gen. ter and the Territorial Department of Health.
 All persons interested in the rod ent problem are urged to attend this meeting, whether they are members of the Health Council or not.
 Tn a survey conducted during the summer of 1944, by a representa- tive of the U. s. Public Health Ser vice, Plague Laboratory, in coop eration with the Territorial Depart ment of Health, Juneau was found to have widespread rat infestation of moderate degree" Dr. c. c. Car ter, City Health Officer stated to- day, and the time has now come for Juneau to actively participate in a community wide program call ing for the reduction of the present rodent population, the improvement or garbage collection and disposal the removal of incidental rat har- borage, and the institution of other measures which will ultimately lead to the elimination of this dangerous and costly pest from our commun- ity."
 Local governmental and health authorities cannot carry out a suc- cessful rodent control program with out the interest and assistance of all the people of Juneau" Dr. Carter declared. Such program has been under way in Ketchikan with great success for the past several months, and similar ones are being started in Fairbanks and Cordova. What other communities have done, Ju- Ineau can do, provided everyone will participate to the fullest"
 For this reason,' Dr. Carter con- tinues, i've urge that you attend the meeting of the Health Council on Tuesday next. We cannot combat our community problems unless we know what they are. and this meet ing will afford an excellent oppor- tunity to learn more about the TO- dent problem in Juneau and what we can do to combat it."

and Douglas, we sense the oppor- tunity of winning the interest not simply of one additional prospect i've Girls Service Organization member but of many of them simultaneously.
 And so, next Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock the USO is dedicat- ing its coffee and waffles hour to the new teachers of the Douglas and Juneau schools, and is invit- ing them to be it's guests. We do hope they all may find it con- venient to come. The Servicemens Council will act as hosts for the occasion.
 We believe that our CTS will make a fine impression on the teachers. We hope that they'll be so favorably impressed that they'll come back frequently in the future as USO hostesses.
 One further point: Although it's the teachers of the female per suasion as to whom our motives are thus slightly dishonorable Cto the extent above indicated), the invitation for Sundays party is in tended to include all the men teachers, as well.
