VA ADS ELEVEN TO OALASkASTAFF;
 ARE IN JUNEAU

Eleven new members have been added to the staff of the Veterans Administration in Alaska during the past few days, Ernest Lincoln acting manager for the VA in the Territory said today. The rapid in crease in applications by veterans for the rights and benefits to which they may be entitled was given as the cause for the additions to the personnel.
 Nine of those arriving here yes terday and today were added tc the vocational rehabilitation and education division of the VA of which George V. Beck is chief This division, Lincoln said, has charge of all education and on-the- job training provisions of the G. l Bill. Many veterans are taking ad- vantage of their rights under this provision, he pointed out, and at present more than 880 applications are on fife for either education or training.
 Seven Come By Plane
 Seven of those assigned to this division arrived yesterday aboard the Pan American plane for Seattle where they have been undergoing in- tenSive courses of instruction. After a week here they will be assigned to various stations throughout Alaska. Those coming in by Pan American yesterday and the places to which they have been assigned are: c. A. Watson, acting chief of the training and education sub division assigned to Juneau; G. $ Millice, training officer, Ketchikan K. A. Lauritzen, training officer Fairbanks; R. T. Parrish, vocational adviser, Fairbanks; c. V. Hultine vocational adviser, Anchorage; J E. Paul, training facilities officer Anchorage, and F E. Kerby, train ing officer, Anchorage.
 AITlNlllB Oll blle fllilCSSo 6OuioS today will be Neil Friedman, act ing chief of the advisement and guidance sub division, and G. M Ferguson, acting chief of the sub division of training facilities. Both will be stationed at the refgional of flee here.
 Also here for several days of orientation before assignment to stations at Ketchikan and Anchor age respectively, are A. H. Murphy and H. E. Kenny Murphy and Kenny have been undergoing an in- tensive course of instruction at the branch office in the duties of con- tact representative. A contact rep resentative, Lincoln pointed out is a miniature cross section of the Vet erans Administration being required to have complete foundation in all laws of the rights and benefits to which the veterans. of all wars may be entitled under laws enacted by Congress.

Caramba! They're Off!
A True Story by PHILIP HARKINS

A NYTHING can happen in Central
AAmerica. Twice that can hap
pen in the little Republic of Panama.
Multiply by three if you are con-
sidering visit to Panama's race
track, Juan Franco. At Juan Franco
the fans periodically rise in riot;
once they set fire to the grandstand.
It's tdntdstieo.
On certain hot, heavy Sunday
found myself standing in line to
buy two admission tickets to the
track.
A few days earlier l had sworn
off Juan Franco as we'll as five sys-
TENS guaranteed to win me fortune
out of the whimsical horses of Cen
trail America. But on Saturday night
there had been a gay gathering.
While experimenting with a pink
rum l had caught sight of the Pro-
fessor playing with slide rule and
had gone over to sit beside him.
That was my first mistake.
HE Professor was small, slim
man with quick, thin fingers who
peered at people through thick
glasses. He came from Nicaragua
and was part Spanish, part English.
part African, part Indian and part
professor. He was on his way to
South America to lecture, presume
on ethnology. When l made an
idle remark about the slide rule he
launched lecture: II am probably
the first man," he said, Ito apply
the slide rule to the world of horse
flesh.
II take the weight of the horse,
the square root of the weight Of the
jockey, the length of the race, the
velocity of the wind, the percentage
of moisture in the air and a lot of
other things, component parts of my
secret formula" He smiled and
gave me what might have been a
hypnotic stare if his glasses hadn't
been so thick.
Il am an extremist" he con-
tinued. Il am fascinated by the
most predictable and the most un-
predictable. 1t is my modest aim
to make the unpredictable the
predictable by making use of a
mathematical formula which l have
carefully worked out with my slide
rule"
you should try it at Juan
Franco" l said without thinking.
My second mistake.
Conc back to this foolish CONVEX
sation, l cursed under my breath
as we pushed our way through a
redolent, perspiring crowd to rickety
chairs on the second floor of the
grandstand.
The second floor at Juan Franco
is just as informal and ramshackle
as the rest of the racetrack. To the
rear are the betting windows, with
signs in English and Spanish - you
can lose in either language. Up
front, placed haphazardly. are dusty
chairs and tables. Fifty feet away
from this veranda and 20 feet
below lies the famous race track,
which is either dry and thick with
dust or wet and heavy with mud.

whose bed was too short and
covering too narrow. Mrs Bail
ey, wife of our pastor and
founder of the Ladies' Aid Club
presented your reporter with
some interesting news last Sun
day. A fine testimonial was held
! recently in honor of Mrs. Coral
Yancey Alexander, the Shiloh
Church organist for the past
ten years, who has temporarily
retired to resume domestic du-
ties as a young housewife. One
of the most gifted musicians in
the entire city, Mrs. Alexander
has served most faithfully, es-
pecially through the dark war
years, and many glowing trib-
utes were paid by speakers, led
by Pastor Bailey who echoed
the hopes of many that Mrs.
Alexander will continue in the
church and concert field in the
not distant future. Among
those on the testimonial pro-
gram were the Shiloh Junior
Choir, Mrs. Ellestine Broad
max, soprano and teacher Of
music; Mrs. Georgia Bailey, So
prano and director ofthe
church choir, and Mrs. Elmer
Lewis, dramatic reader. Shiloh
is fortunate in acquiring good
organists. Prior to Mrs. Alex
ander we had Mrs. Charlotte
Parham Swan, another fine
worker among others. Now the
organ keyboard is supervised by
Miss Maybelle Fenton of Rox-

Speaking with Club Athletic
Director Walter Isaacs this
week I find he is busy planning
to enter his Ramblers in the
coming City Basketball League
for boys which will be good
news to many, Whether there
will be a division for the Senior
Ramblers who won the Senior
title many years in a row, is
not known as yet. If so there
will be a Senior and Junior
Rambler team for the first
time in city league history and
there certainly is room for
both. Walter and I also talked
over prospects of a local girls
basketball team, probably a
senior and junior team, proyid-
ed enough young ladies are in
terested. If all the planning
materializes, this will be a red
hot basketball center during
the coming indoor season.
More tennis Is being played
here also, thanks to the initia-
tive of our local tennis captain,
Cleedy Rhone. The local tennis
courts are far from the worst,
in fact are among the best in
the city park system. Every
resident here, young or old,
should enjoy a game of singles
or doubles, if able. The local
park does need a field house
and home attendant, especially
with more games of all types
being played here. We must al
so have football goal posts this
fall since we have sadly been
without them in the past. The
field house would provide
showers for the athletes at
home and visiting players. A
paid city attendant would keep
the place as well as the park
in good condition. We antici-
pate many fine football games
next fall with a PA broadcast
of some by Doug Schenck .
Thanks to all who contributed
news this week. And, as every
body knows, the Church Picnic
at Salem was a great success.
