| HALLOWEEN pASSES
 OFF QUIETLY WITH LITTLE VANDALISh

Last night was Halloween and in Juneau it was a comparatively quiet evening. The police depart ment reported no extraordinary vandalism beyond the usual pranks of hauling signs, few gates and items of general nondescription from one spot to another
 Grounds of the Juneau High School were liberally decorated with material toted there by the mere ambitious A sign from the Alaska Dock Company approach, pointing the direction to the low CT business district" probably came the furthest. Also on the high school grounds were the five min ute parking signs from the Fed eral Building.
 Most of the vandalism was done by the older group. Small chil- dren worked whole neighborhoodS in groups, costumed and carrying jack-o-lanterns in traditional style. They rang doorbells furiously, and when someone came to the door it was Trick or Treat Store candy was hard to come by but many houses had stocks of home made candy or even cookies pre- pared in advance. And, also as usual, if a householder played hard to get and a treat wasn't forth coming for the youngsters tricks were difficult of suggestion Seems the children hadn't taken that un- der consideration And this much must be added. the youngsters were polite.
 Girl Scouts held little parties during the evening.
 Store windows were marked up. mostly with candles as soap is not plentiful, but not so pronounced as in former years. Window washers were out early this morning on the cleanup campaign.

CHAPLAIN WIRT E TRANSFERRED;
 IS GOING SOUTH
Former Juneau News. hound, Now Clergyman,
 Wants Friends 10 Call

Many Juneauites will remember "Squid" Wirt, former wellknown newspaper man here, who desert- ed the get em news squad" to l become a clergyman. Well, "Squid" went south from Juneau, attended a theological college, became Con- gregational minister. had a pas torate in California, took on wife, transferred to Connecticut and fin ally joined the armed services as Chaplain in the U. s. Army.
 For some time Wirt has been a Chaplain in Alaska, with the rank of-here is his title-Sherwood E. Wirt, Chaplain (Captain) USA, Post Chaplain. His headquarters are at Ft Glenn out on the Aleutian Islands at Umnak.
 Now, Chaplain Wirt is to be transferred to Seattle. and the set up is contained in a letter to Friend of the Empire Staff which explains past, present and future, as follows:
 Greetings from the forgotten tail of Alaska. Will you be good enough to put a note in your paper to the effect that have ac cepted @ position as minister to college students at the University of Washington for University Con- gregational Church, commencing nsxt December?
 T am still chaplain to three Aleutian Islands. shutting back and forth between Dutch Harbor, Um- nak and Cold Bay I will be get ting a discharge in December.
 Ed Radde was through here a couple of months ago on his way to Adak, and I met one youngster- dent recall the name-now in the Army who used to carry a route for the Press Thibodeau was the name. I now recall. after some mental strain!
 Got leave in June and flew to Iowa for a church convention - which. by strange coincidence, my wife was attending. Those tig 54's pass up Juneau like it was a bus stop. My roommate now is Capt. Max Kapelowitz, Signal officer who used to he in Juneau and knows Malcolm Morrison and Ma jor Stevenson. He was only a staff sgt in the old daysD
 So it seems I never have really left Alaska. And in Seattle I hope to see my old friends-including vCurselt-often. Tell the folks to look me up when they come through the big city, out in the University district.

division is a great and all-encom-
passing allegiance to an adequate
deity. Like the heather, we are
worshipping too many little and
local gods.
There is not room in good world
for more than one supreme sover-
eighty; and only an eternal and
infinite being has right to claim
that sway. The utter sovereignty
of the living God is first truth
to be recognized in our days think
ing. Daily we pray, "Hallowed be
Thy Name" Reverence for God
Himself precedes obedience to His
law.
For steady and symmetrical think
Ing upon human relationships we
need sense of supreme authority
The loose assumption that one mans
ideas are as good as another simply
will not work. Over and above all
our vagrant speculations resides the
awful transcendency of the living
God. His will is mans veal. His
law is the last court of appeal.
Loyalty to Him is mans supreme
obligation. When anybody or any
thing is put in the primary place of
obedience and devotion, we are
guilty of idolatry.
We have SO many second rate
Christians because disciples make
Jesus second choice. His claims
must be given first consideration.
The early Christians gladly paid the
price of martyrdom for the sake of
this primary devotion to Him who
was in truth their Master. His love
made for them a new law and a new
manner of life.
And the church today will fulfill
her mission of undergirding a shaky
society with moral purposes when it
puts above all things else the law
OF God, as interpreted by Christ.

COlOring
In Rugs

The color combinations and pat
terms currently found in Oriental
rugs are the result of the selection
and public approval of a color style
council which has been in session
for more than 1000 years. The
members who compose this council
have been representatives from
homes in America, the castles of
Europe and the palaces of the
Orient.
According to the Oriental Rug
Importers Association the pleasing
and delightful color combinations in
Oriental rugs which harmonic with
virtually all possible kinds of home
interiors were not evolved in a day,
a year or a generation. The colors
and designs result from the practi-
cal experience of centuries. The
types of rugs which have survived
are those whose colors and designs
have had lasting appeal Weavers
of inharmonious rugs found few
buyers, and soon discontinued the
weaving of them, seeing as they did
not meet public approval.
Perhaps this long process OF evo-
luton is the reason that Oriental
rugs have enjoyed a permanent and
lasting appeal, charm and value.

Beauty Resolutions

Probably more resolutions go
astray In the beauty department
than In any other category we can
think of. Since beauty is, after all,
pretty much what You make of it,
'twould seem to us that it would
pay off to adhere to such resolves.
You'll find it amazing how much you
can improve your good looks by just
setting your mind to it.
Starting on top first, let's consider
your hair. There's no reason in the
world why a healthy girls noggin
can't be crowned by a gloriously
shining cap-if she just puts some
effort in it. All that's necessary is
daily brushing and a good shampoo
as the occasion demands. To get the
most out of brushing, you'll want
to be sure that your brush is scrupu-
lousy clean. Then, bend over from
the waist, allowing the blood to rush
to your head-and brush like mad.
AS far as we're concerned, there's
no more thankful beauty routine
than brushing your hair daily and
diligently. The effort not only pays
off in a glossy name TRY it; you'll
see results quickly, but If done
properly. the stimulated circulation
will also clarity your skin.
No. 2 beauty resolution should
be to brush your teeth regularly and
thoroughly. Your dentist or fygien-
est will show you the proper way,

luxury to pile up a fortune. They
wear shabby clothes. They skimp
on their food. They hop buses in
stead of having car. They tell you
that they are laying up for a lux
urious old age, but when age comes
there Is nothing they want that
money will buy.
And there are the women who
never get any pleasure out Of their
jewels because they are in a safety
deposit box; who are always two
years behind the styles in their
clothes because they are saving their
new dresses for some great occasion;
who have beautiful houses, beauti-
fully furnished, but they never see
their lovely drawing rooms except
when they dust them, for they live
in a cubbyhole in the back.
But the most pitiful part of the
mistake people make in putting off
being happy is when they apply it,
as they so often do, to the family
relationship. We see so many
mothers who get no fun out of their
babies, whose growing children are
nothing but a burden to them, who
never even try to get acquainted
with their adolescent boys and girls.
They are waiting to enjoy their
children when they are grown, but
when they are grown it is too late.
They have flown the home nest.
And we know so many husbands
and wives who really love each other
and appreciate each other, but who
never show each other any tender
ness or pay each other a comph-
ment. They keep putting of saying
the thing that would have brought
happiness to hungry heart until
they whisper into dead ears.
Happiness passes your way but
once. Grab 1t.

punished as rebellious, cast out as

In my experience with many
children, the deliberately disobedi-
ent and rebellious and mean are few
and far between. The handicapped
are many. All children, all of them
want with all their hearts and with
all their minds to be approved, liked
and loved. There is no exception to
that statement. Every child born
in this world needs to be liked,
needs to feel himself secure in the
affection of those upon whom he
depends for healthy and successful
growth.
When a child fails there are two
causes, either of which, or both of
which, may be at work upon him.

There is one thing in life about
which we should all be grabbers.
We should seize every bit of pleasure
that comes our way and make the
most of it while we can get it. 1t is
a fatal mistake to put off being
happy until tomorrow. because to-
morrow never comes. All that any
OF us ever have is just today, and If
we don't get some joy out of that
we have lost out entirely.
This is such a palpable fact that
1t seems as If the dumbest of us
should recognize it and act upon it
Yet the world is filled with gloomy
Guses who deny themselves every
pleasure and lead hard, dull lives in
the belief that sometime in the fu-
ture they will have a great time
making whoopee. Which is just
about as sensible as it would be for
a starving man to refuse food be-
cause he expected some day to sit
down to banquet.
Yet we all know people like this
Perhaps we belong to the lodge of
the happiness deferrers ourselves.
Certainly we see plenty of illustra-
tons of the folly of putting off hav-
ing our good times for 20 or 80 years
For the irony of the thing is that
If we wait too long to eat our cake
we find we have lost our appetite
for It, BY the time we are able to
buy out a bakery we have shed ou1
sweets tooth and acquired stomach
ulcers and are on a diet.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge that our capacity for enjoy
ment does not increase with age
On the contrary, it slumps with
every syear. The things that we got
whale of a kick out of doing when
we were 20 bore us to tears when we
are 90, so why we kid ourselves into
believing that the longer we defer
indulging ourselves in the things we
want to do and have the more fun
we will get out of them, nobody car
explain.
But the idea brings about situa-
tons which are comic as well as
tragic. 1t gives us, for instance, the
hoarders who pinch and slave and
deny themselves every comfort and
