HeroiSnl
 Rewarded

HEADQUARTERS. Alaskan De- partment - The War Department announces the award of the Sol- dier's Medal to 2nd It. Leon R. Gowan, Army Air Force whose home address is Elma, Wash, for hero ism in the crash of his Alaskan Division ATC airplane on February l, l945.
 On that date, as pilot of an AT II type aircraft, he departed from the 1468th AAF Base Unit, Alaskan Division, ATC at Galena, Alaska. The aircraft suffered engine failure after booming airborne, and crash cd, almost immediately taking fire.
 It. Gowan, the citation accom- panying the award states, '. though suffering second degree burns on the leg, face and head and a compound fracture of the leg. and with his clothing actually ons fire, extricated himself from the wreck age. Rolling in the snow he extin- guished the fire on his clothing, then crawled back to the aircraft, opened the fuselage door, crawled in and unfastened the safety belt around one of the passengers.
 After dragging the passenger to a place of safety, he returned to the plane and attempted to rescue the remaining two crew members. His heroic act reflects great credit upon himself and the United States Army"

WHERE'S TIE FLAG,
 GOvERNCD'S HOUSE!

Something has been definitely missing on enc reporters daily trips to and from work, and it is begin- ming to bother said reporter.
 The something is the flag which customarily flies from the tlagpole at the Governors House, and has not been there to wave it's cheerful greeting since the Governors de- parture for the States
 Others besides the reporter have remarked about this, and about their disappointment at seeing the flagpole bare these past days. Isn't there someone who can do some thing about this?

 Excerpts from Christian Science lesson n-sermon:
 The Bible-The Acts: Heaven IS my throne, and earth is my foot stool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all these things?
 Ccrrelative passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures," by Mary Baker Eddy: The creative Principla-Life, Truth and Icva-is God. The universe re- fleets God There is but one crea- ter and one creation. This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identies. which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected. These ideas range from the infnitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of Gcd. (p. 502-5o3)
