getting their records down in print
and in colors while the facts are
fresh in mind, even as many await
revised orders incident to the GO
render of Japan.
History in these cases is being
written by the men who helped to
make it. Their booklets, pictures
and charts serve both to refresh
the memory of the veterans and
to fill in the homefolks on details
the censors could not pass.
Perhaps typical of this work are
productions of the Seventh Armor
ed Division, whose public relations
staff has been headed by Maj
Charles w. New of Houston, Tex
They called the division the Lucky
Seventh in training but it had its
share of bad breaks as well as
good in the time between its land
ings in Normandy Aug. 1914. 1914,
and Germany's collapse.
The overall record is summed
up in a slack paper color chart
dubbed THE Box Score which
outlines the tank mems 2,260-mile
route and accomplishments from
the Utah and Omaha beaches OF
Northwestern France to the Baltic
Sea. A companion piece is CO.

Injustice To Australia

Australia very properly objects to the minor
role assigned her in the japanese armistice
program. dispatch from Canberra says:
'In common with New Zealand, Australia
has an intimate concern in coming events In
Japan, for they are certain to affect the mill
tary and economic future Of these two domln.
ions more fully than those of other countries
of the British Commonwealth. The issue as
seen here is not whather Australia has been
sufficiently closely consulted but whether she
is getting an opportunity Of active partlclpa'
ton in the armistice negotiations commensu'
rate not only with the dimensions OF her war
effort, which in the Southwest Pacific has beer
second only to that OF the United States, but
also with her status as a Pacific power SO
freely recognized at the San Francisco confer
ence and with the special knowledge OF and
fresh viewpoints on Pacific affairs and prob.
lens that she can bring to consultations both
within the british Commonwealth and among
the Allies.
Australia wants distinctive force under an
Allies Supreme Commander as her contribu
ton to the occupation Of Japan.
Because Australia has had repeated assur-
ances from London that she would be treated
as principal, not subsidiary participant in
armistice and post-armistice arrangements,
and pow finds she has been left waiting at the
church, so to speak, the Canberra government
feels deep misgivings that earlier pledges are
not to be made good. If they are not, grave
injustice viii be done her.

SKI RACES TO BE
 ON PUBLIC VIEW
 SUNDAY AT BOWL

Pegged to climax G asti n u Channel ski competition for l945, is a slate of five races set for next Sunday at the Ski Bowl, at the head of the Douglas Island Ski Trail. Exciting events are prom ised-especially if present good weather indications continue-and there is plenty of room for a large throng of spectators.
 The public is cordially invited to witness the races by the Juneau Ski Club, which. is sponsoring the days sport. It is recommended that all who can ski up the trail do so-but, there is a good surface f, to the trail and making the climb on foot should present no great difficulties.
 Coffee will be served by the club, but spectators and visitors alike must furnish their own lunches. It is planned to conn., mence the race program fairly early in the afternoon, so it is urged that an early start be made by those planning to make their way up the trail.
 Not only thrilling competition, but an exhilerating time in the outdoors awaits those who may be attracted up the trail Any local residents who have not viewed the Ski Bowl in it's present snow mantled state will be well-rewarded for their efforts by truly ma- jestic scene.
 Events scheduled for Sunday are Junior Boys Downhill Race, Junior Girls Downhill Race, Junior Boys Slalom, Women's Slalom and Glass; B Mems Downhill.
 Eric Sundsten will forsake the instructing chores that have occu- pied him most of the season to assume the chairmanship of the days activities. He has promised to set courses that will make the most of the terrain Control gates will be set for the downhill events to make them a true test of skiing ability More strenuous sections of the courses will be modified when it comes time for feminine par ticipants to take their turns.
 A considerable number of very promising competitors has been developed in the Junior ranks and it is expected that the events for younger racers will highlight the day The Ski Bowl offers excep- tional opportunities for spectators, as nearly every yard of the ski terrain from the enveloping ridges down to the floor of the Bowl can be held in view from almost any chosen spot.
