MUSHER

SPR0UT. Ever since she was a
young sprout of six, Natalie Jubin
has disliked being any farther away
from Husky sled dogs than she is on
THIS Weeks cover.
She has trained and bred them, fed
them their daily pound of raw meat,
and raced them over snow trails. She
''mushed" them around her home
town of Lake Placid, N. Y, hauling
passengers to earn her way through
college. When she went away to school
she took one along. He became col
legiate, slept through lectures, resents
being treated like an ordinary dog.
UNIQUE. Now she has hit upon one
of the few jobs in which driving dog
team could play an important part.
As soon as she has developed new
crew of Huskies, she will 60 to Alaska,
where she hopes to become social
worker among the Eskimos.
At present she has only six dogs,
including her veteran lead dog,
Husky" The rest, which at one
time numbered 80, were turned over
to the Army several years ago.
CTS who later drove her dogs
through the SHOWS of Labrador,
Greenland and Baffm Island to res
cue fallen airmen, have praised the
Huskies' skill and training.
Dogs learn by initiating their
mates," she says. IF you have a
good lead dog to pace them, the

The Buffalo Robe
BY HOMER CROY
author of "Wonderful Neighbour

proudly into the Square among the city
people. But we didn't leave the robe in the
sled. No, indeed. My father took it to the
grocery and handed it to the owner of the
store. There was little room in the rear
which he kept locked and there he put
our robe, me standing there to show was
part owner Now and then while my par
ents traded, came in and peeked through
the cracks just to make sure our robe was
still there.
The robe became part of our lives.
One night we took our robe to revival,
tied our team to the hitchracks and went
into the church. When we came out our
robe was gone
My FATHER went among the people at
the hitchracks asking if they knew where
it was No one knew 1t was gone.
We drove home, surely as bitter ride
as ever had. But the next day neighbor
turned in at our gate While he and his
family were at the revival, his child had
had chill, and he had borrowed the robe
to keep her warm as they drove back to
the farm. My heart was happy. Our robe
was home.
Then it became kind of community
property. We shared it with everybody.
If some old grandpa had to be taken to
doctor, he went wrapped in our robe.
Once, when neighbor girl got married,
it went on her honeymoon.
like to think of that robe as a symbol
of Christmas in America. 1t was simple
America that robe came into - generous,
neighborly and at peace.
Now, after four wartime Christmases,
we must not forget the spirit of those SIM
pie American Christmases that went be-
fore. For four years now, service flags
have been in the windows instead of holly
wreaths.
But now the war is over and the wreaths
have returned! This is white Christmas
again. And as we gather once more at our
. trees, we shall find the finest Christmas
present any nation ever had - liberty.
Like the buffalo robe of my youth. it will
be a present for the whole family, the
whole community.
But to possess this priceless gift means
responsibility We must share it gener-
ously with other people - our neighbors,
and sometimes, too, with those across the
sea, in terms of medicine, food and cloth
ing have no doubt Americans will meet
the challenge of this peacetime Christ
mas in the old-fashioned spirit of sharing
- Just as we shared our buffalo robe with
our neighbors on that white Christmas,
years ago.

POLITE. A lady missionary writes
us about her son, who was on guard
duty in Newfoundland during the
war. The local small fry considered
the CTS easy touches and were not
backward about asking for pennies.
One boy approached the son and said.
Il say, sir, how about coin, sir?'
Sorry" he replied gravely. I'm
broke. As matter of fact, was just
going to ask if you could lend me
coin"
'Oh, no, sir - l couldn't do that,
sir" The fiustered lad started to hurry
off. Then he paused. caught on to the
trick. Very politely he added over
his shoulder, GO to ell, Sir"
GUESS WHAT. Since we printed a
couple of collections of 'Matsies"
(Matsies are doodles that don't look
as though they mean anything but
do), we've received stacks of them
from readers. However, here is the
first Double Matsie we've run across:

puppies catch on in hurry. My first
dog, Keno, trained my second leader,
and he trained the rest, including
Husky. Even today, Husky has tricks
of leading that came from Keno"
The dogs may even train their
driver. "A display of temper is disas-
trous in handling dogs" says Natalie.
"Once when I got out of sorts with
misbehaving team, the dogs decided
to put me in4my place. The wise old
leader purposely failed to swing wide
in taking a corner and the sled piled
into a fence post. l went sprawling,
with my wind knocked out"
They got on famously after that.

WINTER NOTE. Americas rail-
roads run on coal, oil, water - and
sand. At least, in slippery weather
they run on sand. You may have
noticed the little pipes set in front of
the driving wheels of locomotives -
those pipes pour sand on the rails
when the going is icy. Last year, one
Eastern railroad used $1,000 tons
of the stuff to keep its trains on
schedule.

cit was the finest present
our family ever received.
To me it remains a symbol
of Christmas in America -
TIME first Christmas present | can re-
Il member wasn't for me alone, but for
the whole family. There it was, all wrapped
in Manila paper, lying on chair by the
basebuner. No red seals or gay-colored
ribbon, then My father took out his knife
and whacked the heavy cord in two and
there it was, the most wonderful Christ
mas gift family ever got-a buffalo robe!
We stood there - all of us - just bub-
bling over from sheer delight. In no time
at all was crawling across the floor on my
hands and knees, with the robe over me,
pretending was buffalo and the Sioux
were closing in on me.
We spread it out and rubbed our hands
over its silky blackness. How beautiful
it seemed! How beautiful it still seems!
All have to do to see it is to close my eyes.
Christmas Day was visiting day in our
farm neighborhood in TIE Middle West.
1t wasn't long before Newt Kennedy and
his wife and children, our nearest neigh
bors, were coming down the road in their
bobsled
lHEY left their overshoes in the kitchen,
me just about bursting to show our Won
derful present No sooner had they seated
themselves around the stove than brought
out the beautiful robe and fourished it
before them. They rubbed it and felt it
and admired it. and it seemed almost like
present for them, too.
No family ever had Christmas tree
at home; at the church, yes, but not at
home. So the robe took its place, became
sort of rallying point for us, the center of
every eye. 1t made no difference where the
talk went, it came back to the robe.
Cookies, molasses candy, popcorn balls
and cider were brought out, and.there we
sat eating, especially me! The grownups
talked of crops, of the sick. Mr.. Knabb
had had sinking spell. Voices grew low;
neighbors would have to do his chores.
But that is what neighbors are for. They
must share things, just as we shared the
Joy of our robe.
At last our neighbors went home -.
and wished Christmas would never end.
But it really didn't end, for there was
our robe 1t would always be; we would
always have it.
In a few days we went to town in our
double-ripper with the robe tucked around
us and soapstones at our feet. We pulled

 There are a lot more than ten who are doing this job and the Lions Club, all of whose members are serving in the city somewhere on this drive, wants to encourage all of them to try for these special awards. No money is being spent by the club toward these awards, since all naturally want all of the money solicited to go into relief and associated work.
 The drive closes next Saturday. All money received should be turned in by that time, and the ten will be chosen on the basis of the work done by Saturday night. Some follow up will naturally have to be done next week, but every person in each soli- oitors district will have been con- tacted by that time. This war has been something none of us wanted. But we have finished the job, now let's clean up the mess says the Lions chairman of the drive. |

 FUND MEN
Solicitors in Present Drive Are Urged to Hustle,
 Speed Up

Everybody in Juneau is being giv- en a good opportunity this week to help the Allied war sufferers as well as continue little longer the splendid services of the USO and USO Camp Shows and other asso- ciated agencies.
 Have you had a chance to con- tribute toward the National War Relief Fund?" is a question that we are apt to hear quite bit this vIek. Our friend, the solicitor, really has a thankless job, and to make it a bit more fun, the Lions Club, sponsoring organization of the drive, has some mighty interesting recognition of service awards plan ned, is the statement today.
 For the ten best solicitors-not those with the largest amounts, but those with the hardest work turned in-the Lions have a date at their noon luncheon, week from next Monday. That date will include ITSt IQIlClitOIlS lOl dli HUI IiOiioi AO tickets to the Twentieth Century Theatre, a free taxi ride to the luncheon in the Yellow Cab and the Royal Blue Cab (5 in each cab) {, free fresh fruit from Nielsen's Pig gly Wiggly to reinforce the Baranof lunch, and the nsome extra special tiles.
 Among these, Dr. J. O. Rude has promised to deliver a baby for the solicitor most interested-right there on the spot. Dr. John H. Geyer and Dr. A. w. Stewart will extract any teeth that may have been damaged in the Drive, and the Lion ministers, Soboleff, Lorenzen and Treat will handle any weddings that may have come up as a result of the friend ly soliciting.
 Frank Hermann, most likely can- didate for the clerical help, will in turn give free prescriptions of as- pirin to any-in fact all-solicitors who may be in need as result of the neighborly questioning.

 COMPETITIVE AIR
 LINES IN ALASKA
Transportation Is Topic of Delegate 10 Congress
 Talk al {. (. Meetinq

Delegate to Congress E. L. Bart- Juneau Chamber of Commerce today at their regular weekly meeting held in the Baranof Hotel, that he is in favor of competitive airline trans portation, not only because it es- tablishes' more business in Alaska but brings more money to the Terri tory.
 He also quoted figures from an executive report for the CAB which proved the shortest route to the Orient is through Alaska. He spoke at great length on this report which would bring passengers bound for the Orient through Alaska with stopover at Anchorage and travel through the Aleutian Islands which are definitely usable for air trans portation, due to perfected air fields and weather conditions as only few days out of the year are unsuitable for flying.
 He commended Pan American World AirWays for their service to the Territory but expressed his sat- isfaction in having an Alaskan air line named for the through route from Anchorage to Seattle.
 The Delegate dwelt at some length on the other methods of transporta- ton, the Alaska Steamship Com pany, Alaska Railroad and the high ways, all of which will be improved immensely and which will help to develop Alaska further
 In answer to communication from the Governor relative to the extension of the Jones Act waiver and the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce, policy is adopted which calls for a continuation of the SuS pension of the Jones Act until such time as the War Shipping Board turns back American line ships to American carriers.
 In answer to another communi- cation from the Governor with re- gard to the request of the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce asking that he appoint committee throughout the Territory to study the problem of Statehood for Alas

Atom Bombed Hiroshima a Is Safe
No Grounds Found for Jap Reports of After-Ef-
 feefs Injuries
By MURLIN SPENCER

Associated Press Correspondent
 TOKYO, Sept. 13.-It now could be safe to live in the center Of atom bombed Hiroshima. There is no evidence that anyone who en- tered the area after the bombing died from radioactivity, Brig. Gen. T. F. Farrell reported today.
 Taking cognizance of Japanese stories that relief parties entering the area to assist in evacuation were injured seriously, Farrell stated that those personnel already were in the area and were caught there by the blast.
 Reporting on destructiveneSs Of the atomic bomb, which was set to explode above ground, Farrell said that for a radius of one and quarter miles from the point of de- donation the area, including Japa- nese military headquarters, was de- molished. To radius Of two miles, everything was blasted with some structures set afire. Between two and three miles, damage generally was slightly There was roof dam age up to five miles and glass was broken up to 12 miles.
 About 20 well-built structures of masonry and steel remain standing in the central portion of the city, but all windows are out and the in- teriors are gutted.
 Farrell said he was unable to comment on Japanese reports of co., coo to 100000 killed and 75,000 to 200, 800 wounded. He said it was probable the conservative figures

 two man committee to study the
 question and to confer with the
