Wilmington music circles will remember
William C. Marlborough as a promising young
violinist Just before he left for Baltimore to
continue his studies at the Peabody Institute
following graduation at New Hanover High
school, he gave a recital at Thalan Hail.
when it was forecast that with adequate phys-
cal development he would go high in his
chosen profession.
Then came the War-and induction Billie
Marlborough was soon in Uniform. The serv.
ice obviously took care of his physical de-
fieiencies, for We learn by way of broad
cast over station WITH in Baltimore that he
was one of fifty-two soldiers completing a
tour of entertainment for the armed services
with a combined total of 100000 miles
bringing live entertainment to American
forces so far forward that USO shows could
not reach them

DailyPrayer
For q Lift in Living

Life had been dull and monot-
onous and uninspired for most
of US, O Father in Heaven. We
had trudged YEARLY along the low
er levels of mere existence. We
confess that we had not conducted
ourselves as adventures and con-
querors. We had been unresisting
slaves of the commonplace. Then
came this incredible war to shock
us wide awake. Suddenly our hori-
IONS are lifted and widened. We
are becoming aware of a world
outside the one we know. Daily
come to us tidings of titantic
battles; of armies shuttled to and
fro on the earth's vast spaces; of
shining heroism by our own young
men. May this visitation of Thy
providence, o inscrutable Ruler of
eternity, lift our lives to higher
levels. Set us afire with the pur-
pose to match this great hour by
our own manner of life. Enable us
to despise all mean ends, and to
seek the glory of emancipated and
exalted spirits. Teach us how we
may become comrades of the no.
blest, conscious sharers in the des-
tiny Of our day. Quicken us to con.
sistent communion with Thyself,
and to constant search after Thy
will. Amen.-W.T.E

War Memorials

Last year The American City magazine
made country wide survey Of war memorial
plans. At that time, says the current issue
Of the magazine, the movement was vague
and undeveloped. Ideas for memorials were
generally indefinite. A second poll addressed
to secretaries of chambers of commerce fol-
munties.
The substance of these replies is interest
ing 'In 200 of these Places says the maya
zine, ''war memorial ideas are reported as
under discussion, and of these, 12l have ten

Robert Strange playground as great recre-

Editorial Comment
Tar Heelia And Pickles

The state that used to thank God for South
Carolina on account of keeping it off the
bottom of the stack in this and that is now
put in the position of having to do something
about Michigan and Wisconsin for keeping it
from the top of the pile in another record.
Reference is to the fact that North Carolina
was topped last season by only these two
states in the production of cucumbers for pick
ling.
We don't know what picked cucumbers nave
to do with the general welfare of humanltS

mand would not be so great We are edglns

DEVELOPMENT
 AGENCY BILL IS DET0URED
Senators Walker and lyng Recall Old Measure
 in Favor of New


 Not satisfied with their proposal for an Alaska Development Author ity, as set up in Senate Bill No. l9, Senators N. R. Walker and Howard Lyng yesterday withdrew that mea- sure and offered in it's stead Senate Bill No. 43, which would create an Alaska Development Board.
 The substituted measure has one big point in its favor-it's one page shorter.
 Other differences between the two bills have mainly to do with the du- ties and powers of the Development Board. The administrative board in both bills would consist of the Gov ernor and four other members ap- pointed by him with the advice and consent of the Senate. No. l9 did, however, also provide for four alter nate members, which have been eliminated in the later measure.
 Both bills provides for an appro- priation in the same sum, $l20,000 Both empowered the administrative group to employ General Manager at salary to be fixed by the Board
 Tn small degree paralleling the Development Board in functions, is an Alaska Information Agency,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-03-01

which could be established by one of three measures introduced yester- day by Senator Allen Shattuck. Sen- ate Bill No. A creates an agency primarily for the purpose Of gather ing and making available all needed information for prospective investors or settlers in Alaska.
 By provisions of the bill an execu- tive officer would be selected to work under the Territorial Board of Administration. His salary would be fixed by the Board at not more than S7,500 per year. An appropriation of $30,000 would be provided to carry out the provisions of the act, which declares an emergency.
 Senator Shattucks Senate Bill No. 45, provides for a change in the membership of the Territorial Board of Administration, substituting the Commissioner of Labor for the Com missioner of Education as one of the six members of the Board.
 Senate Bill No 46, also by Senator Shattuck, relates to the appointment of Trustees of the Alaska Pioneers Home. The Trustees, as provided by the bill, would consist of the Govern or and two others to be appointed by the Territorial Board of Administra- tion Under the present law the two other Trustees are appointed by the Governor.
 In addition, the bill cuts the salary of the Secretary of the Board of Trustees by $25, from SIS to $50 per month, making the Secretary's rate of pay the same as that of the Treasurer.
 The new Development Agency bill was referred to the Finance Commit tee, which already had put it's OK. on the old measure The new bill must, however, start out fresh.
 No. A was referred to the Finance Committee also, while No. 45 went to Judiciary and No. 46 to Territorial Institutions.

Rev. w. Robert Webb and A. B. Phillips Talk at
 Chamber Lunch

Two speakers initiated the first day of the Annual Red Cross War Fund Drive at the noon meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today; one the Rev. w. Robert Webb, speaking on the subject of the Red Cross in war; and Superintend- ent of Juneau Public Schools A. B. Phillips, talking on the Red Cross in peace and civilian life
 Program Chairman Harry Godson first called on the Rev. Webb who told of the work the 727 Red Cross clubs are doing. But, he said, the Red Cross even went further. To the front-lines of the battlefield. He then mentioned the work the hospital units were doing, saying that a friend of his had received from the Red Cross a specially-made chess board to be used while he was in bed with both legs up in the air" and one arm of not much use.
 Then he told of the war prisoners and how the Red Cross of neutral nation helped them and reported to the United States Government their whereabouts. How they saw to it they received food parcels and spe- cial packages on Christmas and Easter.
 The Rev. Webb passed around a group of enlarged photos showing various activities of Red Cross work CTS.
 A. B. Phillips then took the speak CTS stand and told of what he called the civilian side" of the Red Cross and what disaster relief did in the Nome, Douglas and Hoonah fires, not to mention the Juneau slide.
 Following this he spoke briefly on refugee relief, making of surgical bandages, collection of blood plasma nurses aide training and first-aid. The Rev. Webb, as drive chair man, invited all Chamber members and the public to the rally tomorrow night in the Gold Room. We are not going to ask for funds at this meeting It is for your good time at the expense of the Red Cross, he said.
