wood, of 600 board feet, annually. This amount could produce 8OO,- 900 tons of sulphate pulp a year, or more than 100000 tons of newsprint.
 In 1914, the forest service desig- mated about one-tenth of the Ton gaSs forest, in the Ketchikan area. for inspection by pulp producers interested in a 50-year lease ar rangement.
 The block contains l4,0OO,OOO cords-7,50O ,OOO, ,OOO board feet, or about l,350,000,OOO cubic feet-of hemlock and spruce. This is suf- ficient to supply a sulphate plant, with daily capacity of 150 tons for 10 years, and an enlarged ca pacity of 525 tons a day for the 40 additional years.
 Establishment of such a plant, which would employ l,050 per sons, would cost an estimated $2O,- 000,000. The forest service says there is enough timber in south eastern Alaska to maintain at least four such plants in perpetuity.

Twelve learned men who lived

Twelve learned men who lived in Far Eastern land appointe | themselves to watch for the star of beautitude which they believed would announce the birth of the Saviour. Each year, after the crops were harvested, the patriarchs as cended to a caVernous retreat up- on the plateau of a high mountain to praise God in silence for three days while they watched for the star
 This went on for generations, when one of the patriarchS died, his son or kinsman would take his place.
 Finally the star appeared, de- scending upon the mountain and having within itself the form of a cross.
 The Sign spoke to them and commanded them to go to Judea. The journey to Bethlehem is said to have necessitated two years of pressing travel and, though in their haste they provided no food for themselves, neither food nor drink failed in their vessels.

Santa Claus Is
 Bearer Of Gifts In Many Lands

Mothers of America are over Whelmingly agreed that parents should teach their children to be- lieve in Santa Claus.
 At least that is the conclusion drawn from a recent opinion poll by a leading Woman's magazine.
 One of the women boiled made an answer typical of many: Be lief in Santa Claus is one of the beautiful wonders of childhood. It gives us a period in which dreams come true and anything is pos sible."
 Christmas is like heaven on earth for the very young, the mag azine points out. But as America moves from war to peace, there is an inevitable emphasis on reality and truth. No one wants to fool or be fooled. Therefore, should even happy myths be promoted?
 Should children still be taught to believe in Santa Claus? Should they enjoy all the magic of child hood while they can, including the traditional myths, or should they be told the truth in preparation for the adult world they must one day

Wise Men Came
 From The East

Church tradition, presumably considering the Biblical mention of three specific gifts as presented to the Infant Jesus by the Wise Men has identified the Mag as Casper, Melchior, and Balthasar.
 There could have been more than three; legend reports that there were l2 Wise Men and that their journey to Bethlehem had been anticipated for generations.

Considering these questions, the opinion poll asked a group of wo- men representing a croSs-section of millions of American homes. Do you think parents should teach their children to believe in Santa Claus?"
 The response was decisively af- firmative. More than 87 per cent of the women voted yes"
 If child thinks of Santa as a man there will be eventful disillu- sionment," commented one wo- man. But Santa portrayed as the spirit of giving remains a beauti- full idea" Another woman pointed out: Santa is as real as Uncle Sam"

LEGION POPPY DAY
is SET SATURDAY

Aiding to carry on the great
task of caring for the World Wars
disabled who still are to be found
by the thousands in government
hospitals, and of whom other
thousands are still struggling to
regain a place in civil life, is one
of the first endeavorS of the Leg
ion Auxiliary.
The making of the memorial
poppy by hoSpitalized veterans
with its attendant therapeutic
value, plus the distribution of the
poppy by volunteer Auxiliary work
erS to raise funds for the final
accomplishment of caring for the
World Wars disabled, places a
great responsibility and import
ance upon the poppy program. The
war will not be over for thous-
andS of former fighting men who
are in hospitals, nor will it be o.
yer for the wife and little child
rem who need assistance as the re-
suit of the inability of some man
to care for them.
Huge boxes of these vivid red
poppies are being sent to the
thousands of Units, and in a short
time, on May Is, over the hearts
of Americans in every city and
hamlet will bloom a veteran-made
poppy, Americas silent tribute to
her heroes which will honor the
dead and serve the living.
The American Legion Auxiliary
will have its quoto and if, in this
season of Memorial Day, the pop
py can make the public remember
the sacrifices which have been
made for it by the men who gave
their lives that our country might
be saved, then, indeed, the great
est mission of Poppy Day has been
fulfilled.
