 Persistent German attacks from the Saar to the Rhine, however, forced Americans from holdings in the German Palatinate, east of the Wissembourg gap, and from all except the Saarlautern bridgehead in the Saarland.

MUSEUM VISITORS
 WILL NOT BELIEVE
 ICE WORM DISPLAY

Visitors to the Territorial Mu- scum in Juneau invariably laugh at the display of ice worms, Ed ward Keithahn. Curator, reports. Although the evidence is indisput- able, it is impossible to convince some that it is not joke, thanks to E. J. White.
 White, known to thousands as Stroller" perpetrated one of the greatest hoaxes in history when he announced the discovery of ice worms in 1899 while a reporter on the Klondike Daily Nugget.
 During early newspaper days in the Territory, telegraphic news ser vice was thing of the future and local excitement a prime necessity to a thriving paper.
 White, when ordered one day to "get a story" produced a tale out of his own fertile imagination that rocked a nation. He wrote of the breeding of worms in glacial ice during the time of the blue snow falls. He described their love call, care of their young and their daily habits.
 When White began receiving letters from all over the world, ask ing for more information on the new discovery, he immediately re- vealed that it was merely a fig ment of imagination. Many, how ever, refused to believe that it was not true, and for many years the story reverberated throughout the nation. White received member ship in the Ananias Club, which annually selects the teller of the years biggest lie to join it's ranks,
 The public had finally accepted the fact that the ice-worm was a creature of dreams, when the dis covery of authentic glacial worms was announced Scientific data de- scribed the worm as being about three quarters of an inch in length, a deep brown in color and as thick as a commend horse-hair. Under the microscope it resembled a starved earthworm.
 It was explained that the reason the tiny creature seldom made an appearance was it's sensitivity to light, causing it to adventure into the world only after sundown. There are 60 species of the worm, all belonging to the genus Mesen- chytraeus, most of which are found in Alaska, although several are located in the Olympic Mountains of the State of Washington.
 It was further stated that genu- inc specimens were found on the Muir Glacier as early as 1887. and it was from the Cushing Plateau Glacier that the worms now on display in the museum here were collected by the American Geogra- phical Society Expedition, on Aug ust Is, 1941.
 The general public, having once been duped, now refuses to accept the scientific facts, MT. Keithahn states, with the result that the ice-worm is still joke throughout the world

TAX REVISION E NOT WAIVED BY
 U. S. TREASURY

WASHINGTON, Jan. flax law revisions proposed by James Byrnes are promptly disclaimed, though not criticized, by the Treasury.
 Byrnes' report to the President and Congress suggested immediate changes, designed to stimulate pri- vate enterprise when Germany is beaten.
 At the same time he declared any general relief from the record war time tax burdens were impossible until Japan was also knocked out
 A Treasury spokesman said: Secretary Morgenthau was not consulted and knew nothing about it."
 Byrnes foresaw no immediate prospect of softening the burden for individual income taxpayers.

The first regular pack meeting of t the Juneau cub scouts will be held next Monday evening. January 8, and Ray Adams pack leader, asks that all boys try to be present, He also asks the Boy Scouts, assigned as der chiefs to be present too.
 Here is a list of the boys who have enrolled in the clubbing program and have attended the meetings almost 100 percent from the very first: Bobby Dapcevich, Raymond Hegstad, Pete Talaga moved to Minnie Fields f.cme), Elroy Ninnis, Thomas Mor- gan, Steve Johnson, Vicey Johnson, George Messerschmidt, Dale Hiller- man.

 Adams says, Some of the boys are already nearing the age of ten oerfoot scouts. These boys we want m particular, to hold and to try to interest them into going on into scouting. Boys who complete their cub work and then drop out and co not go on into scouting are pass ing up the finest opportunity of their lives to be led in clean, in structive work and play that will Lenefit them in later life. | SuJDiiiB ID lllUIt JIldll Dldy DlO- eram for boys.

237 now offer aviation courses of some kind, and PIP said they hoped to continue and expand their courses after the war Of the 40 not teach ing aviation now, 95 already have plans for introducing them a soon as the war situation will permit.
 All of this, understand, has nothing to do with private flying schools, thousands of which are ready to take off as soon as they can purchase surplus Army and Navy training planes and get the gasoline to fly them.
 The idea catching on now and be- ing gunned like all get-out by the sirplane industry is to make aviation education as readily available to Johnny Jones as his opportunity for avoiding illiteracy.

Eyes Have It

Last week we did it again. We profled Pfc. Dotty Lowell in People We'd Like You to Meet" and mentioned that she has brown eyes when all the time we knew they are very large and very blue. AS a matter of fact, the shade of blue that poets and composers are want to write words and music about. Also, Dotty wants it known that she can still do a back somersault even if she gave up her professional dancing career when she entered the WAC. Any, one wishing to check on the. color of Dotty's eyes may do so by visit ing her at Base Security Section but their proof of her back somer- sault ability will have to remain in faith for her spoken word.
