 CAN YOU HELP!

Some na- lions are lucky in their postwar planning for maintaining before war living, not so with the Finnish people, according to latest reports received from Finland. War-ravag- ed Finland is doing it's best to plck itself up and the people seem to have enough food. such as the food is however the clothing situation is very critical.
 Many Finnish people in Juneau have received word from friends and relatives in Finland telling of the need for warm clothing and have. as @ consequence, banded to- gether forming an organization to find suitable clothing for them. All types of clothing for men, women and children are needed, according to these reports.
 As soon as a committee is organ ized in Juneau, announcements Will be made as to where clothing may be left. however, ill the meantime why not look around the house and see if you can aid in the Finn's re- lief by giving that sweater Junior outgrew or that blanket that shrunk when it was washed or any and all types of clothing.

TAxpAYERS' GIVES ADVICE ON
 RENDERING TAXES

In response to numerous protests made to the Executive Committee of the Juneau Taxpayers Association by disgruntled property owners who this week received their tax state- ments, the committee met this noon and issued the following advice:
 All taxpayers Yho appeared be- fore the City Council meeting as a Board of Equalization and protested their property assessment but now feel, after receiving tax statements that their taxes still are too high should pay taxes on last years as- sessment in full at 20 mills before October 1.
 After this, said the Committee statement, it will be up to the city to sue in court to collect the diff ference if the court holds that the citys claim is just. But the city will be unable to take the matter up until after next March 15, around which time another city election will be coming up.
 The Committee said this advice is based upon a Circuit Court of Ap- peals decision which held that in order to have any standing in court the taxpayer must tender what he thinks is just amount to the city for taxes
 Meanwhile, the Committee said, taxpayers who failed to appear be- fore the Board of Equalization or protest in another way to this body before the deadline have no stand ing in court and must wait until next year to register complaints.

NENANA ICE POOL AWARD
 SPLIT LOW
Anchorage Pair Grow Diz- zy Over Vanishing
 Money

ANCHORAGE Alaska, June T. Tom Ringen and Miss Rita Hard ing of this city received $105,00C from Nenana, representing the prize in Alaska's great ice classic. They were very happy but here's what happened:
 First they split $105,000, so each had $52,500 when they said hello to Uncle Sam's Internal Revenue Collector, who whacked off a total of $6O,642 income tax, leaving them together only $44,358.
 After Ringen added his other in come for the first five months of the year, his personal income tax totalled $31,152, so he came out with only $2l,348. Miss Harding's $ total tax was $29, ,490. She emerged with S23,010.
 Immediately after this official visit with Uncle Sam the two felt hard up. Said Ringen: T don't know if I can afford to go to Nor way after all." Gle had planned to visit his mother there and help to restore property which she lost to the Nazis) Maybe I'd just better send her some money" Rim gen concluded.
 Meanwhile Miss Harding said she could still buy "a few acres for her mother, who resides in Oak land, California.
 To top it all off, Ringen dis covered that the income tax law virtually forbids him from working for the remainder of the year. For he gets SIP daily as laborer, from which the tax would take S9.36, leaving a net wage of only S2.64.
 Said Ringen. This is hardly enough to buy bread to give me energy to do my work to earn the money"

FERRI55 HAS

 WIN5EIGHTH
Sensational Bosox Rookie Yields IA Hits 10 Ath-
 leties-Yanks Stopped
By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer)


 Draft board calls threaten tc 1 cripple the New York Yankees to- day as Cleveland and the St. Louis Browns regain key men and the Boston Red Sox begin to act like pennant contenders.
 Center Fielder Johnny Lindell and Second Baseman George Stirn- weiss of the leading Tanks are due | to take induction physicals to- day along with Pitcher Bill Zuber in New York City.
 Loss of either Lindell or Stirn- | weiss would throw the American League race into wide open scramble and could make the Tanks third or fourth place club. Boston is the real surprise of the month, moving into a virtual three way tie for third place only three and one-half games behind New York, on the strength of Pit cher Dave Ferriss.
 After a doubleheader triumph over Philadelphia yesterday in which Ferriss hung up his eighth successive triumph, Boston was finally above the 800 mark with a 2l 20 record only two and one per centage points behind the Browns and White Sox, respectively. Ferriss was not at his best against the As, yielding IA hits. but he left IA runners stranded in copping number eight by .5-2 margin. The rookie ace helped his cause with double and batted in run. The nightcap was copped by Boston, 3-2.
 Dutch Leonard stopped the Tanks cold with four singles and drove home two scores with per- feet three for-three night at bat to win 40 in a night game at Wash ington.
 Detroit picked up a full game on New York, to trail by one and one-half, as Stubby Overmire won his fourth straight in trimming Cleveland, 8-1.
 Orval Grove shut the door on the St. Louis Browns, 40, although the Chicago Sox got only six hits off Sig Jakucki and Weldon West.
 Pittsburgh now is tied with St. Louis, three and one-half lengths behind the Giants, after lowing to. Cincinnati's Bucky Walters, 80. Boston clubbed the futile Phillies twice, 15-1 behind Mort Cooper, and 7-3 to give Johnny Hutchings his first decision of the year. It was unbeaten Cooper's fourth in row.
 | New York and Brooklyn were not i scheduled, and the Chicago-St 1 Louis night game was postponeda
