GIRL SCOUTS ARE
 URGED TO ATTEND
 CHURCH SUNDAY

All Girl Scouts in Juneau and Douglas are urged to attend Church tomorrow, Oct. 27, which formally begins Girl Scout Week. The girls may wear uniforms to church Girl Scout Week is next week.
 The following statement of re- ligious policy has been approved by the Girl Scout Board of Direct orS for inclusion in the Constitu- tion. On it are based all relation ships of the organization with churches, synagogues and other re- ligious groups.
 The G. s. organization is an agency open to girls of all faiths. The force behind Girl Scouting is a spiritual one.
 Girl Scouting affirms that a basic necessity for the develop ment of good character and sound citizenship is the recognition of God. This belief is expressed in the Girl Scout promises. Through it's program and activities Girl Scouting helps girls to become bet ter members of their religious groups, but recognizes that re- ligious instruction is the responsi- bility of parents and religious au- thorities."

with the addition of postwar equipment.
 Even with the shortage of ma terials, plans to expand and inn prove our Alaskan service have gone ahead with admirable speed and efficiency" he said,
 MT. Stretton told of new plants to be constructed along the Yukon River which will provide bulk stor- age at several points, thus provid- ing better service.
 Standard Oil Company brings in processed materials to the Terri tory. MT. Stetton pointed out, and therefore is a service company for Alaska rather than a producer. All operations are being united in an effort to give maximum service, and improvements under the l946 million-dollar program have been eeared toward better transporta- tion. storage and delivery.
 In this respect, the District Man ager mentioned the tankers, pump ing apparatus and storage tanks. The best equipment possible to ob- tain at this time is being used in the Alaskan plants, he said.
 Although the Standard Oil Com pany of California has undertaken several drilling projects in the past, none of these proved successful
 Standard Oil established it's first plant in Alaska at Nome shortly before the turn of the century and since that time has added to it's plants and personnel until it is today one of the largest service in dustries in the Territory.

tute rather a monopoly of the air travel outside the U. s.
 Other members Of the Council overrode this objection with th' opinion that the more competition for routes the better the service to Alaska. And, it was added, CAA has recently begun reversing some of it's decisions in cases similar to Alas ka Airline's application for pas senger authorization to Seattle and if Alaska AirlineS applies again in the future, and asks for endorse ment, it will be forthcoming.
 The endorsement was agreed up on without vote, and the meeting was adjourned.

at some length. H. L. Faulkner, attorney for AEL&P, explained the company's position to the Council, stating that the company loses money in taking the deposits; not because of the percent interest which is paid on them, but because of the extra bookkeeping which is entailed in caring for the system.
 It was brought out that any say ings by AEL&P would be passed on to the City in lower rates the next time a cost survey was made.
 After considerable weighing of the question, agreement seemed to have been reached and there was call for the question. Stan Grum- melt proposed a counter motion to table Nielson's motion already be- fore the Council until the next meeting. There was no second, so the tabling effort failed and the roll was called for the original mo- tion made by Nielsen to strike out the offending paragraph.
 Motion Carries
 All were in favor with the eX- cepticn of Grummett. He wanted time to think the matter over, and stated it only right that the people be allowed to voice their opinion on the matter at the next regular ses- sion of the Council
 PAAs Request
 One other item of business was brought up by Mayor Waino Hen drickson. He had received a notice from the Civil AerCnautics Auth ority informing him that Pan Am erican Airways was making a bid for authorization to compete in domestic airline service within the borders of the United States. PAA desires this authorization, and a hearing has been granted by CAA, because Of the fact that while other airlines are now being auth orized to carry passengers outside of the U. S., yet PAA's service can not come within the borders Of the United States.
 The Mayor then said that he had been approached by PAA executives who were visiting in Juneau re- gently, asking il the Council would give an endorsement to the airline's application similar to that given recently by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce The Mayor explained that endorsement by other Alaskan towns was also being asked by PAA. It was pointed out that Pan Am erican pioneered the commercial airliner routes in the territory, and undoubtedly sank a considerable amount of money into the efforts to develop the new air routes.
 Endorsed
 The council agreed to the, en- dorsement with the objection of Nelson He raised the qualification that Alaska Airlines, for instance, has just recently been refused the authorization to carry passengers to Seattle. If an endorsement were given to PAA, it might work against the interests of Alaska Airlines and for the PAA interests, which have been heavily government sub sidized during the war, and consti-

Report to the Housewife

Press stains between clean white
blotters with a warm iron, moving
blotters as they take up wax. Sponge
with grease solvent or wash IN hot
soapy water. -. The first war food
order required bakers all over the
United States to enrich their white
bread with iron and the B vitannins,
now the order has been Cancelled and
passes into history. 1t seems a shame
that this order is no more. Food
economists of the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics re-
port that American civilians got
more iron and B vitanins in their
food during the war years than at
any previous time in the 37-year
period. Now enrichment OF the
-four is on voluntary basis. So far,
19 states and Puerto Rico and Haw-
ali have passed their own laws pro-
viding for the enrichment OF white
bread and white -four sold within
their states. Mrs. Housewife will
need to read labels closely to know
whether the flour she buys is en-
riched. Milk bottle roundup
is on. Even though the war is over,
dairies cannot get all the bottles
they want, so to get better service
either from your delivery man or
from the grocery don't forget to re-
turn those milk bottles regularly and
often!

their kitchen is old and wrinkled
but stepped In the art OF Creole
cookery to her last gray hair. She
served us sweetbreads with mush-
room sauce for lunch-a neyer-to-
be-forgotton dish. My hostess wrote
out the recipe for me before I left
and here it is:
Soak three pairs of sweetbreads in
ice water as soon as they come
from the market. Wash them well.
wash again in clear cold water, and
then parboil them for 10 minutes.
Drain them well and put on a clean
cloth on q table, weighted down
with some fat, heavy object 10
datten them.
When they are cold clean them
with a sharp pointed knife, remov-
ing all the outside nerves, veins ana
fibers. Don't cut the sweetbread
itself.
Cut some salt pork into matchlike
strips and use a larding needle to
insert eight of them in each sweet
bread.
Slice up an onion and carrot
fine and mince a couple of bay
leaves. Cover the bottom of pan
with very thin strips of fatty bacon.
Put the sweetbreads on top and
sprinkle with the carrot, onion and
bay leaves. Salt and pepper, and
top with few more strips of bacon.
Cover the works with buttered
brown paper and bake in an oven
(slow) for 20 minutes. You should
baste the sweetbreads occasionally.
While the sweetbreads are baking
make this sauce:
To pint of canned strong bollil-
lon add a tablespoon of butter,
Drowned with a tablespoon of flour.
Stir well to smooth out Jumps. To
this add half can of mushrooms
and let all simmer for few min
utes, then cook fast for 10 minutes.
Take the sweetbreadS out of the
pan when they are done, lay them
in the sauce and cook together for
10 minutes longer. Serve them good
and hot, with the sauce poured over
them.

AFRICAN vIoLETs.
From Miss v. M. j, Washington. J
The African violet news recently
rampant in your column has inter-
ested me greatly, and hope the dis
cussions will continue at full
strength. am in search Of several
varieties of African violet, and also
have some information that may
be of interest.
: First, would like to get In touch
with an actual owner of true
yellow-flowered African violet, II
such exists. am also looking for
the following named varieties:
Topay, Lavender pink Dupont
(round, small scalloped leaves, Anne
thyst (pale orchid, very dark leaves) I,
Blushing Lady, also called Dawn
(creamy pink off white), Sky Blue
(bluish off white, very dark leaves)
7 would like to obtain leaves OF the
above varieties in exchange for leaves
of two species and Is varieties
which now have as listed below:
Species: Saintpaulia ionantha dav-
ender- -blue). Saintpaulia (very small,
pale, non-hairy leaves). Varieties:
Blue Boy, Blue Girl (patented) I,
Sailor Boy, Norseman, Blue Dupont,
Admiral (or viking), Neptune, Com
modore, Redland (RedheadD Orchid
Bicolor Lavender Lady. Trilby)
Plum, Pink Beauty tpatented) ,
White tpatented), Myrtle, a medium
reddish violet, name not known.
I can offer no plants, and only a
limited number of leaves of each
variety, as I have space to keep only
one stock plant of each in the south
window Of my office.
Leaves root best in coarse, clean
sand, kept very wet. Leaves are less

stronger and. the young plants come
more rapidly. Reporting in soil Is
done when the young plants start
to appear above the sand. Be care
full not to disturb the roots, and do
not remove the old leaf until it
starts to droop-it will sometimes
continue to develop new plants.
Ordinary root-rot, caused probably
lby defective drainage or too-rich
organic matter, is a condition COM
mon among older plants. The chief
symptom is continuous dropping, be-
ginning with the outer leaves, even
when the plant is well watered. Ex-
animation of the bottom OF the thick
main root will usually reveal a brown
rot. The root should be sliced of
with a sharp knife, starting from
/ the bottom, until all the rotted part
has been removed; frequently some
Iof the outer leaves must be removed
also. The plant should be then
placed in clean, coarse sand and
treated exactly like leaf cutting.
The plant viii develop new healthy
roots in two to four weeks and can
then be repotted in soil.

AUTOMATIC WASHER.
From M. E. T., Potomac Electric
Po,Der Co.
In reply to Mrs. p. p, OF Airing
ton, regarding an electric washer:
The automatic washer fills itself
with water of the temperature you
select, washes the clothes for a Sc
lected time, thoroughly rinses and
spins them damp, dry; all this with
out attention from you. You never
put your hands into water and
there is no lifting of heavy wet
clothes, no broken buttons or fas.-
eners, no hard-to-iron wrinkles.
When the work is finished, the
washer cleans and drains itself and
cuts off.
Since there are no tubs to drain
and no floor mopping necessary.
