LUTHERAN CHURCH DINNER MEETING
 5 ON THURSDAY

On Thursday evening at 63o o'clock, the members and friends ot the Lutheran Church will meet for a potluck dinner with a congrega- tional meeting immediately follow ing.
 The Ladies Aid is sponsoring and organizing the dinner. Anyone who would like suggestion as to what to take to help supply the meal may phone Mrs. Andrew Hildre, presi- dent of the Aid.
 Besides other matters, two main items of business will be presented to the congregation: the first will be the 1946 church budget and the securing of pledges towards it. The second will be the initial considera- tion of the types of plans that can be used for the development of the new church plant. While erection of the new church is not expected for another two or three years at the earliest, yet it is hoped that all members will avail themselves of this opportunity to become familiar with these preliminary plans.

vETERAkS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

long quotes because you vets are sure to read long quotes with rapt inattention. But I ought to give you a few more things said by General Bradley in a casual, unprepared talk to seven thousand employees of the Washington office of the VA.
 These, I think you'll think, are the words of a genuine and humble person:
 All of us are interested in service to the veterans. This is a service which the veterans have earned by sweat and blood. It is not charity service. Our Government has recog- nized that service by providing cer- tain benefits to which veterans are entitled. You and I are privileged to be able to render them that service.
 Some of you come in personal contact with these veterans; that is particularly true of our people in the field. Some of you never see them: your contact is entirely by papers
 
 and records. In either case, let us make that service a real and person. al one to these deserving men. They have it coming to them.
 T am very new on this job. It is different from any work I have ever done before, although not entirely different since every iob carries cer- tain administrative duties with it. At least 1t involves new set, of laws and a new set of procedures.
 I will probably appear rather ig- norant on details of some of these laws and procedures for some, time. l hope you will bear with me for I am depending on you to help me carry on"

MRS. M. 0. JOHNSON IS NEW PRESIDENT
 OF HEALTH C0UNCg

Perhaps 1t was because of the stormy weather last evening, or it may have been due to conflicting arrangements, but whatever the cause, the attendance at the meet ing of the Gastineau Health Council was very light. A total of cnly 13 representatives of the various organizations which sponsor the Health Council braved the storm to put in an appearance.
 Mrs. M O. Johnson was elected president of the council for the coming year.
 James H. Stone, Senior Sani- tartan with the Department of Health, reported that progress is being made in laying the founda- tion for the campaign to rid the city of rats A committee composed of qualified engineers, sanitation experts and others interested in the general well-being of the city has been held for the purpose of zoning the town, selecting zone leaders who will in turn select block lead CTS, all leading up to complete survey, designed to disclose all possible and probable sources of food for the rodents, as well as their breeding places. At the com pletion of this survey, an effort will be made to eradicate all such places, through general cleanup of all infested areas, regardless of what part of town they are found in. After that will come the ex- termination of the rats, which is effective only so long as the city remains clean of sources of food and nesting places.
 At the close of the meeting, MT Stone showed picture recently received by the Health Depart ment, which was made in England and demonstrated some of the methods followed in the extermi- nation of rats over there, where eradication was definitely real problem, causing untold loss in food spoilage alone

13-YEAR-0LD GIRL I5. ORPHANED; pARENTS DEAD IN TRAGEDY

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. B = A pretty, 13-year-old girl whose exist ence had been that of normal schoolchild in the home of prom irent family faced life today as an orphan after finding the bodies of her father and mother dead in their bedroom yesterday.
 The double tragedy that Deputy Coroner William Unger said appear ed to be murder and suicide took the lives of Dr. Leo E. Link, 45, we'll known San Francisco dentist, and his attractive wife, Dorothy, 43.
 Their deaths were discovered by their daughter, Virginia, when she ran upstairs to ask if they wanted their breakfast in bed.
 Unger said Dr. Link, who had sui fered a nervous breakdown recently apparently shot his wife and then sent bullet into his own brain.

l WASHINGTON-Up to recently, General Omar Bradley who took over direction of the Veterans Ad- ministration in August wisely has Eeen saying little for publication.
 My impression is that, whenever he has to talk, he says he believes in giving disabled veterans all help possible and that he doesn't believe the other eX-service men are going to need much help because they're doggone good men and can take care of themselves.
 That's a good way to fill in until the General gets hold of his job in the VA. One thing you've noticed is he never goes into long commer cial about himself.
 But to show you what kind of man General Bradley is, let me turn to hurried message he sent to employees Of the Veterans Administration the day he took over the VA-the day after Japan said it would quit.
 Here are the words which indicate how the General feels about us vet erans:
 To-day, I have assumed the duties of Administrator. You and I have been engaged by our government to administer laws providing certain benefits and opportunities for our veterans
 These veterans have served their country faithfully; in many cases with severe hardship and pain. They have fought that we might continue to live as free men We must see that they receive every benefit our Government has granted them I expect each of you to do your best every day just as our soldiers, sail ors and marines almost beyond human endurance-to ac- complish the missions assigned them.
 Frankly this work is new to me I will learn the job as quickly as possible. I am greatly concerned with the lot of our veterans. I have personal knowledge of what they have done. I will do everything I can to see they receive promptly every benefit, help and opportunity to which they are entitled I ex- pect you to do the same"
 Those words show a sincere man. He wasn't making speech for pub lication. It was just message to VA employees.

POPE TALKS
 TO WOMEN

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 23-Pope Plus XII urged in a Sunday radio broadcast that Catholic women ac- lively participate in political life to meet a challenge which he said for long time past, has been evolv- ing ill a manner unfavorable to the real welfare of the family and wo- men,"
 The concessions made to women by some political movements, the Pom tiff said, "one can easily see, not respect for her dignity, or her mis- sion, but an attempt to foster econ cmic and military power of the to- talitarian state.
 He particularly exhorted war wi doWs to answer the militant call for their energies resulting from new needs created by the entry of wo- men into civil and political life"
 The Pope foresaw a particularly important position for women in those matters which call for the delicacy of maternal instinct rather than administrative rigidity."

 Bought
 BYWoodley

SANTA MONICA, Oct. g - The pioneer Woodley Airways, operating in Alaska since 1881, has purchased three new Douglas DC-3 transports for it's regular service in the north, it is announced by Donald Douglas and A. G.. Woodley.
 The big new 21-passenger planes would establish new standards of luxurious air travel over 1000 miles of certified airway between the company's headquarters at An chorage to Juneau and Southeast Alaska, and westward to Kodiak and to Bristol Bay.
 Douglas disclosed that Woodley discussed with him the future pur- chase of huge four-engined trans ports for service over projected ex- tensions of the lines present routes now before the Civil Aeronautics Administration.
 The war has advanced the prog ress of aviation in Alaska by 20 years, Woodley said in commenting cn his plans for expansion. Where in 1940 there was not a single first class airport in Alaska, today there are more than 100 of these ports, some of them having 7,000- foot runways and the most modern navigation facilities, radio beams and blind landing equipment.
 Woodley said that his company completed 97 per cent of opera tions scheduled, a report which completely refuted the reputation of bad Alaskan weather

suading the Quartermaster Corps to
double its purchases of chickens.
If the determined Georgian has
his way, the Army's plate is going

PAGES enthusiasm for poultry is
understandable, since he halls from
a belt where focks of fat breeders
are raised, and most of his constit-
uents are farmers.
Although he works hardest on the
Agricultural Committee, Pace oc-
casionally will lift his voice in the
House on international issues, such
as peacetime lend-lease and propos-
ais to grant huge loans to foreign
countries
A firm believer in charity begin
ming at home, he dismisses with i'm
patience all this talk of shipping vast
quantities of foodstuffs across the
ocean.

he asserts stoutly. Listeners de-
clare that from the way he talks he

Born in Terrell County, Ga, So

elected to the House back in 1927,
and grateful constituents have kept
