COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TO
 GET FACE LIFT
New Director Jensen Ex-
 plains Purposes for Future Development

A special meeting of Division 2, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary was called the first of the week by e-Commodore Jack Burford and Capt. w. P. Blanton to welcome the new Auxiliary Director, It. (Sg) Bruce H. Jensen. It. Gg) Edward L. Nugent, Executive Officer of the COTP unit introduced the Director.
 The main purpose of his visit, as he explained in his talk, was to ac- quaint the AuXiliarymen of the Cap ital City with the new District pol icy. The organization is having its face lifted, more or lesss. Activity has been rather slack in the 17th, Naval District for the past six or eight months as the need for actual assistance from the Coast Guard Auxiliary has fallen off considerably. Therefore steps have been taken to give the Auxiliary a goal to strive toward; something that would be a definite contribution to the war ef- fort and make everyone feel as if they were engaged in task where they were really needed,
 An expansive training program is being promulgated under competent Coast Guard instructions, both class work and cruises of few days dura- tion to apply knowledge derived from text books. It is designed to make everyone better all around small boat operators, through aware ness of the navigational laws under which they operate as well as a working knowledge of Navigation, Seamanship, Communications, En- gineering, cts,
 All members present agreed that they would like to pitch in and send the Juneau Coast Guard Aux Hilary to act as Guide Ship for the other flotillas of Southeast Alaska in leading the formation toward the goal of a greater and more efficient Coast Guard Auxiliary in the 17th Naval District.

 } SECTIONS
Core of Nazi Resistance Againt Allies Indieat-
 ed, SdysWashington

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz's reported rise Ito leadership of the German Reich focused new attention today on Denmark, Norway and the Baltic Coast area.
 Despite reports of nasty Nazi preparations to quit Denmark, rank ing military men say this Northern sector-rather than ttG so-called national redoubt in the Alps-iS where any last Nazi stand will be made
 Here, from ports in Denmark, Nor way and the Northwest German coast lies the strength of the Ger man U-Boat fleet and Navy, a force even more instilled with Nag ism than the Wehrmacht.
 Around this Naval force, Doenitz is expected to build the core of Nazi resistance against the Allies.
 On the other hand, these same authorities say on the understand ing they will not be quoted by name the German pockets in Southern Germany, Austria and Italy are likely to melt away quickly There may, however, still be bitter German resistance to Russians in Czechoslo- vakia and in Eastern Austria.

GERMANS IN MAD FLIGHT
 T0DENkARk
British Within Nine Miles of Danish Seal -off-von
 Rundstedt Taken

PARIS, May 2.-British troops driving swiftly in a breakthrough north of the Elbe River came with in nine miles today of cutting off Denmark and Schleswig- Holstein.
 German troops fled madly toward Denmark through the shell-raked corridor near Luebeck, trying to escape both the British and the Russians.
 In the south, the Texas (36th) Division of the Seventh Army cap tured Field Marshal von Rund- stedt.
 The Seventh was fighting through the Alpine passes within ten miles of the Austrian Tyrol capital of Innsbruck and a dozen miles of the Brenner Pass. A hundred miles of snowcapped Alps lay between It. Gen. Alexander Patch's army and the Allies driving up from Italy.
 In gains of up to 20 miles, Gen. Patton's Third Army captured a bridge intact across the Inn River eight miles of Breaunau, Hitler's birthplace
 Gen. Patton's Third Army moved within 30 miles of Salsburg and A miles of Berchtesgaden, in the area of Breaunau where Hitter was born. His tanks closed within l6 miles of Linz and less than 40 of the Rus sians at Amstettin.
 The British moved within 40 miles of the Russian armies at Rosen- hagen and 60 miles of the Soviets at Warren.
 All the north German ports were threatened.

PFC GILBERT MONROE BACK IN JUNEAU; SAW
 SERVICE, TWO AREAS

Pfc Gilbert Monroe, son of Mrs
 Minnie Monroe, and Juneau High School graduate, is home again to stay and most happy to be here, after months of service with the Fifteenth Air Force Photographic Squadron, most of which was in Italy.
 Prior to joining the Army Air Forces, Gilbert had been in the Maritime Service for about two years, and spent much of that time in the South Pacific.
 About three months ago he was hospitalized in Italy as the result of tropical fever, and later sent to a hospital in the States, where he received his medical discharge.
 After seeing much of Italy, as well as other parts of the world, Gilbert is convinced there is no place he would rather be than home in Juneau. Its got every thing here" he said happily.
 Commenting on the effect of the war in Italy, he said the condi- ton of the little children was about the hardest to bear. Cold, ragged and hungry, they were dying from starvation at the rate of several day near the place where Gill bert was stationed.
 One suggestion he had to make to those who have relatives in any of the European countries, was that soap is a most welcome article in any package from home. In Italy he said, whenever the GIs took their clothes to be laundered, they always had to furnish the soap, and many times it was impossible to get this, even from the Quar- termaster.

 IN HOLLAND

PARIS, May 2-The Allies today began shipment by air, land and sea of thousands of tons of food into western Holland, to feed 3,500O0O starving Dutch civilians behind the enemy lines.
 Under an agreement which amounted to a virtual truce so far as points of entry for food were concerned, the Germans granted safe conduct to ships entering Rot terdam, and agreed also to make one road available for trucks and to withhold anti-aircraft fire over the zones designated for the dropping of food from the air.

DR. DAWES ENDS
 ACTIVE CAREER;
 RETIRING TODAY
We'll loved Juneau Physi- eian Plans Just to Fish,
 Boat and Loaf

Today marked the beginning of official retirement for one of Juneau's best known and loved phy- sfcians and surgeons, as Dr. L. P. Dawes began packing his books and getting his office ready for his sue ceSsor.
 Dr. Dawes, who was 70 years old on April l, was retired from the United States Public Health Ser vice on account of his age, and will receive a pension from that De- pertinent. He is also retiring from private practice and plans now just to go fishing. boating, or just loaf around and take life easy.
 Dr. Joseph O. Rude, who has been associated with pr. Dawes for the past several years, will succeed him as Senior Surgeon with the U.S.- PH.S.
 Dr. Dawes came to Juneau in 1915, from Wrangell, where for five years he had combined his medical prac- tice with running a drug store, which he says, was not too successful an idea.
 He married Miss Fife Lenore Buzard, from Missouri, in Wrangell just before coming to Juneau.
 Buys General Hospital
 About 1920, Dr. Dawes bought the General Hospital" which was at that time being operated by pr. Wm. Pallister in the building now known as the Home Boarding House. He continued operating the hdspital for about three years, when he closed it and went to St. Ann's Hospital as Senior Surgeon.
 Dr. Dawes has always taken a very active interest in fishing, hunt ing, boating and photography AL ways on the alert to keep abreast of things, he took up aviation and learned to fly at the age of 63, an accomplishment of which he is justifiably proud.
 Has Mining Interests
 Also interested in mining, he ex- poets to be able to devote more time now to mining claims in which he has been interested for many years. Dr. Dawes said he did not expect to go in for any more boats, such as the Prince of Wales, which he had owned before the war started and which was taken over by first the Coast Guard, later by the Navy. The Prince of Wales. it will be remem- kered, burned and sank about a year ago out near Excursion Inlet.
 A fitting climax to his career, Dr. Dawes thinks, came to him just yes- terday in the form of letter from a patient, Mrs. Mae Ragan, whom he had cared for 20 years ago.
 Check Is Climax
 Mrs. Ragan enclosed a check for the amount she had owed Dr. Dawes at that time, thanking him for hav- ing been so kind and helpful at time when she badly needed help and sympathy. and she had taken the first opportunity to repay him when able to do so.
 Mrs Ragan, who lived in Haines at the time, was left with two small boys to take care of, and it meant a great deal to her at the time to have received the help she did from Dr. Dawes.
 She is now living in Rosebud, Ar kansas, and wrote Dr. Dawes that she would like to sell her l40-acre homestead at Haines, which, she says, is right on the highway and would make a very good farm and home for some one.

time to do anything else. Sue cessful men know this and so re- lieve themselves of the respon- sibility for handling any part of their job they can get someone else to do.
 EXPERTS HELP
 So if women really want to be able to hire experts" to come into their homes for a few hours a day to do their routine jobs for them and wouldn't-as many of them claim-have to oversee and direct the worker, the suc- cessful wife and mother may eventually be able to use some of her ability and common sense out side her home.
 Having experts do part of her work is the only way the intelli- gent woman with a husband and family will ever have time enough to work seriously at making her home town. her state, and her country a better place.
 If the intelligent women of the country really mean what some of them say. maybe in another fifty years the running of houses will be worked out as systematic ally as the running of offices, and women will share equally with men the job of running the country.
