ises spiritual prosperity to the
obedient, the Bible is yet the book
of the underdog. It's voice is raised
from first to last, in behalf of the
poor, the afflicted. the oppressed, the
widow, the orphan and the stranger
In its pages the high and haughtily
are brought low; the rich suffer the
fate of Dives and the oppressed come
to the reward of Lazarus.
Yet it is no textbook of classism
1t cites instances of the godly rich
and of the wicked poor.
Widows and orphans figure largely
and sympathetically in the Bible
To care for them is defined as one
evidence of religion pure and un-
deflled. Jesus Himself had wild
owed mother, and while expiring on
the cross He provided for her well
fare. Modern legislation is catching
up with Bible in its care for these
two needy groups
In striking fashion, that deserves
much pondering, Jesus lifts all serv-
ices of the needy up to a high level.
For he Identifies Himself with every
recipient. Good deeds are done unto
Him. Spiritually minded persons
find the loftiest motive for ministry
in this amazing truth that Jesus
Himself is served by every good deed.

GREW ESCAPES AS FISHpACKER RIBkC
 EXpL0DE5, SINKS

STEVESTON, B. C., Nov. ? - Five crew members of the 72-1oot fishpacker Ribac narrowly escaped death late last night when the 90- ton vessel exploded while fueling at this Fraser River port and sank within five minutes.
 The crew, under command of Capt. Paul Bastion, jumped to safety, but one member who was in the engine room almost was trapped when the packer caught fire and settled quickly. He es- capped over the side just a minute before the packer went down in 20 feet of water.
 Witnesses said the explosion could be heard over a wide area and shock small frame houses along the river bank.
 A salvage ship reached the scene and salvage operations will begin today. It was believed the hull was split
 Cause of the explosion was not immediately known.

Several hundred letters have been sent out to school patrons announc- ing a "Back-to-S School" night as set for the night following Armistice Day. November l2 A. B. Phillips, Super eiintendent, with appreciation of the members of the Juneau City Band. is now mailing out the follow ing lctice:
 Due to conflicting dates it has become necessary for us to change our date for Back to- School night from November l2 to November 13. The City Band is having a concert at the 20th Century Theatre on ,he 18th and we do not wish to interfere with it's success. So this letter is sent you to do two things: CD urge you to attend the City Band concert on the 18th and t2) visit the schools on the 18th from 730 to 1:30 during our ack-to-School night
 Tt is regrettable that We had a conflict in our dates. but it was unavoidable and it is easier for Us to change ours than it would be Ter the band to change theirs.

Denies, However, His Statements Disagree
 with Those of StaIin

NEW YORK, Nov. Vyacheslav M. Molotov, Soviet Russian Foreign Minister, says the opinion expressed by some Americans that his address to the United Nations Assembly disagrees with Prime Minister Stal- in's statement on Russian foreign policy Monday does not correspond to the facts
 In a two paragraph statement written for the Associated Press, " Molotov said that it is not difficult to see this after careful study of the texts in question"
 Furthermore, Molotov declined to answer six detailed questions sub mitted on what to some American minds appeared to be disagreements between the two policy statements. one made by Stalin to a newsman in Lcndon by cable from Moscow and other made by Molotov to q closely listening LIN Assembly here at Flushing Meadows
 Melctov said these questions were related to matters before the as- sembly and it's committees and that he and ether Soviet representatives would discuss them there.

RUSSIA, CHINA
 COMPARING ON
 DAlREN CONTROL
China May Take Over Rus sian Occupied Port
 Within 15DdYs

HAWKING, Nov. Chinese and Russian authorities today were reported negotiating for China to take over administration of Dalren, Russian occupied open port city toward which Government troops are driving against Chinese Com munists.
 The Ranking newspaper, Hsln Min Pao, reported in a Mukden dispatch that representatives of the two governments are conferring in Dairen.
 It said satisfactory progress has been made and there is a possl- bility Chinese officials will be per mitted to assume control of Dairen within 15 days.
 There was no official confirma- tion here. Chinese government of ficials were sent to Manchuria some months ago in anticipation oi resuming administration of the city.
 Russians have occupied Dairen since the end of the Pacific war.
 Dairen was declared an open pert, to be jointly administered by the two countries, in the 14-month old Sino-Soviet Treaty. However, the Chinese Government for months was busy seizing vast areas of Manchuria from Chinese Com munists and only recently an- nounced it was ready to move into Dairen
