Matthew's Lutheran Church, York.
During his passionate, the con-
firmed membership of the church has
grown from 500 to 1917, to more
than 1900 at the present time. In
that period, the Sunday School Aud
itorium was constructed, a new par
sonage purchased, the church re-
modelled, and a ur-manual organ
installed.
DR.. Harms has held office as pres
ident of the Maryland Synod and has
served on various boards of the
United Lutheran Church and of its

cation of a new, hand-carved, black
walnut pulpit and lectern and of
new chancel chairs. The pulpit and
lectern are a memorial to Matthias
Peter Moller, who was loyal mem
Der of St. Johns and who took a
prominent part in the general work
Of the United Lutheran Church. The
memorial is to the glory of God and
in memory of Mr.. Moller by Mrs. M.
P. Moller, ST., and children. The
chancel chairs are given as me-
mortal to Miss Birdie v. Little, also
faithful and devoted member of
the church, who served in its various
local activities. The Sewing Guild
of st Johns has also presented new
white paraments in honor of the
occasion.
DR.. Greever is a graduate of Roam
oke College and of the Lutheran

er has been residing at Columbia,

Ran into Warren Shlrey on Mon
day and was glad to hear that he is
making such a fine recovery from a
long seige of illness. Here's hop

AS was expected the special meet
ing of the Mayor and Council last
Wednesday night, called to discuss
the much debated changes in the
City Charter, ended in stalemate.
It was the consensus of opinion
that there was no general demand for
any drastic change in the city's form
of government and that, when any
change was seriously contemplated,
the matter should take the form of a
referendum.
Here's hoping that the matter rests
there for the present and that no
attempts are made to slip by any
legislation on the quiet.
And talking about legislation, I
understand that the County Dele
CATION held a meeting on Sunday
concerning bill to make possible a
substantial increase in the amounts
to be granted by the City and Coun-
ty to one of the county's organiza-
tions.
1 have no doubt that the bill was
prepared and presented to the Del
egation in perfect good faith, but l
suggest that before tor any other
bill concerning the taxpayers-is pre-
scented to the Legislature, the tax
payers be given full information,
How about it gentlemen?

There was some plain, down to
earth speaking at the meeting held
in the Woodland Way auditorium last
Wednesday night, to consider the
juvenile problem in the community,
a meeting that was arranged by the
Juvenile Committee of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
In my opinion, the best suggestion
came from Captain Churchill, of the
Salvation Army, who proposed that
the question be further studied by a
committee consisting of representa-
tives from the various youth organ
izations in the community. Captain
Churchill pointed out that those
actually working with the young peo-
pie were in the best position = to
know their needs and to prevent
overlapping, and that council made
up of representatives of these groups
was badly needed.
Let's get such a Council started
right now.

TOMORROW, OCTOBER IS, IS ALASKA DAY

Tomorrow is Alaska Day, and the 80th anniversary of the trans fer of the Territory from the Rus sian government to the United States of America. On October IS, 1867, military ceremonies were held at Sitka, then the capital, and the Stars and Stripes were raised for the first time.
 Alaska is no longer the mysteri- ous frozen ice-box of 80 years ago, but one of the most strategic and important spots in our world. It appears that Russia thinks so too, and would be interested in raising the Hammer and Sickle over the Territory.
 Alaska is having serious grow ing pains this year with curtailed income, but it is still only eighty years young and can overcome the

Sharp Quake
 Shock Centered Near Fairbanks

An earthquake, so sharp it knocked the needle from the uni versity of Washington seismo- graph, rocked large area of south central Alaska late Wednes- day, breaking windows and knocking goods from store shelves.
 No casualties were reported.
 Apparently centering in the re- zion of Fairbanks, the quake sent residents hurrying into the streets. It was the city's 18th such tremor in the last nine days and was de- scribed by residents as the sharp est in the last 10 years. Vibrations continued for almost half an hour after the initial shock.
 Seismographs at the university of Washington and at Mount St MichaeIs observatory in Spokane recorded the trembler at 6:15 pm (PST) with the latter placing the peak at 6:20 pm. The Dominion meteorological bureau at Edmon- ton said moderate" earthquake was felt in Tanacross, Alaska, at 6:11 pm. and a minute later at Northway, Alaska.
 The university of California $ Ferndale seismograph registered the quake at 6:l7 pm. with con- tinuing tremors for more than an hour.
 The shock also was felt in An chorage, where residents describ- ed it as one of the longest in their memory, and in Galena, near Fairbanks.
 Another strong shock, heaviest since the first one nine days ago, was recorded on the university of Alaska seismograph at 9:35 am. Wednesday. Its origin was placed at the Salcha river fault, 50 miles southeast of Fairbanks.

Trunan's Talk COnfuses Both
 Dens And COP

WASHINGTON, (Py-President Truman appeared today to have left his own party divided on the issue of government price controls while projecting the high cost of living squarely into the l948 cam paign.
 Politicians generally said MT. Truman'S statement that he has some interesting figures on price rises indicates he will give the na- ton his version of how and why living costs have scared when he feels the proper time has arrived.
 But he left both Democrats and Republicans somewhat confused when he said at his news confer ence yesterday that rationing and government controls, which he said includes rent controls, are the methods employed by police state.
 The President emphasized that he was trying to get a free enter prise nation to accomplish volun- tarily in the conservation of food what police states do by force.
 Senator Pepper D.-FlaD, who has said that MT. Truman undoub- tedly will be re-nominated by the Democrats, told a reporter he can not agree with the President that these would be anything smacking of a police state in the return to rationing and price controls the Florida Senator has been urging.

Govt. Discusses Housing Program For Alaska
(By Charles D. Watkins)

C(4) Special Washington SerVice)
 WASHINGTON, CP)-A co-or- dinated government program re- signed to insure a basic economy, permanent population and impreg- nable defenses for Alaska is being prepared
 William E. Warne, assistant sec retary of the interior, told a re- porter today discussions have not gone far enough for announce ment of any details but it is hoped a master plan will be ready for submission to Congress next year with a request for immediate ac- ton.
 One item under discussion is a five-year housing program for the Territory.
 Warne heads an interdepart- mental group which includes rep reSentatives of the army, navy, air | force, agriculture and commerce departments, maritime commits sion, public works agency, federal ! housing agency, federal security agency and reconstruction finance corporation.
 Warne recently spent a month in the Territory. He said it is necessary to speed the housing program because the situation is desperate and worse than any other place in the nation.
 We hope for immediate action on the program when it is formu- lated," Warne said, "and believe it will have to extend over a five year period"
 Just how it will be worked out we cant say yet. We are going to investigate to find out which areas will need additional legislative and budgetary attention and make our recommendations to Congress. The whole program will have to be kept within appropriations"
 The Territory is just a big em- pity store house, with less than 100000 population" he continued.
