working for the Volunteers of

carols, that gave them a far-away
look while war almost BACKED out
the Christmas Spirit, make them
smile and drop coins in the CHM

cts fun to have a part in the
happy Christmases of so many
youngsters. Most of those that l see
come downtown with their mothers,
and l try to get a nod of approval
before l make any definite prom
ises - kinda make sure the kids
won't be disappointed.
"Just the same, I can't help
thinking about the kids l never see
who want dolls nd dishes, drums
and sleds, picture books, skates,
trains and boats; what a lot
of helpers Santa needs to see that
all these things get to the right
places at the right timel

Editor, Daily Alaska Empire Juneau, Alaska
 Dear Sir:-I really appreciate the intestinal fortitude you have to pub fish the last article I sent in. Now this bunch of penny ante four flushers Of Juneau that will not take a chance on gold brick from the Denver mint, we will absolutely ignore. But there are still a few people in Juneau that can read and write, so this statement is sent to them for their own good.
 Are we going to let the air traf- fic pass us up altogether just be- cause we haven't the guts to fight? We have everything here in South cast Alaska that they haven't at the Westward. I am personally hacking the town of Juneau, a pioneer of Alaska. having went over the Chilcot Trail when I was II month old in '98.
 But going into my history turth- CT, I served in World War I with the First Marine Aviation Force. My only boy is serving as a crack Navy pilot aboard the Midway to- day.
 Our job is to sell Glacier Bay to the 133 million people out in the U. s. When we have those people coming up here by the thous- ands it will mean prosperity for all the towns of Alaska and ait may mean development of rich mineral property that today lays practically dormant. Are we going to work to- gether or is it going to be every man for himself?

Close tO 3C0 Skagway men, wo- men and children took advantage 7i the opportunity to spend the af- tcrnoon at Lake Bennett last Sun day when the Presbyterian Church chartered @ train from the White Pass Railroad and held the first church sponsored picnic since l94l. There were six coaches filled to cvcrflowing. There were 254 tickets held by adults and children six years and up. and it was estimated that there were close to 40 children under six. One coach was taken by a crowd of 66 persons who cana over from Haines on the Princeton Hall, one coach was taken by the Mission and the other four were filled by Skagway residents and Sanatorium personnel The weather was a bit too cloudy and cool to be considered ideal, but it wasn't bad and a most enjoyable day was spent by everyone. In the after neon there were races, high jumps and bread jumps and a base ball game. The trip over the railroad takes the traveller through unbeliev- ahle country The nominal ices ol Sl.5O for adults and 75 cents for children to 12 were charged One unusual feature of the day was that not a single accident was not ed. One near accident occurred on the way home when J. D. Tru> fireman fell off the engine and the train had to be stopped to pick him up. He was shaking the gratss when the shaker bar pulled out and he lest his balance anC foll off One of the crew saw hin fall and stopped the train. For tunately it was going slowly anC he picked one of the few place. along the track where there was room to fall and not go down some hundreds of feet. He was uniniur- cd.
