SAM BEEKS
CLUB

Sam Beeks 1947 South High June
graduate was the first recipient of the
Woodson Center High School Clut
Scholarship. The idea of a scholarship
arose out of a need to develop inter.
est and assist those members of theil
own club in making the most of theil
scholarship abilities.
The $500 raised by the high schooI
club members among themselves wa:
matched by a like amount from Mr.
George Vana a Woodson Center
Board member. Sam received the
scholarship award when he visited the
high school club during his Thanks
giving vacation.
Following the preliminary remarks
OF Mrs. Beatrice Robinson Mosley who
fostered and encouraged the idea, Lois
Cildon former president Of the Mad
emoiselle Club handed the check to
her former high school associate. Sam
was president of Esquire boys high
school club at Woodson Center. Other
former high school youth present
were: Alfonso Sampson, U. S. Navy,
and Frankie Stearnes, recently dis
charged from the U. S. Amy.

senting West Side School at one of the

The light shineth in darkness and
the darkness comprehendeth it not"
so says the Gospel of St. John in the
first chapter.
Many things are not comprehended
because there is no desire on the part
of he that comprehendeth not, to com
prehend, to understand to receive.
But as many as received him. to
them gave he the power to become
the sons Of God, even to them that
BELIEVE on his name" That in
cludes everybody. Therefore we, in
his name, invite EVERYBODY to
come with us to worship, serve, sing
praises to honor and bow down to this
God, our God, who is able, ready and
willing to give eternal life to as many
as believe on his name"
Maybe, there are those who do not
comprehend how or why these things
are possible, and thus reject them. But
there are many things we enjoy that
are not entirely comprehensive to us.
The wind, for instance, bloweth where
it listeth. We hear The sound there
of, but cannot tell from whence it
cometh nor whittier it goeth" any
more than Nicodemus did.
Who, and what man is there that
seeks to understand all about the pow
ers and forces that he employs when
he plants a seed, before he plants it,
or rather, that he believes and hopes,
will be employed and are employed,
when the personalities and mysteries
of a seed are unlocked, unfolded, de-
veloped, and made to bear fruit by a
much more mysterious something
which we call nature?
We do not have to understand Cod
to serve Him, and to enjoy His bless
ings. Only believe.
1t is amazing what Cod does and
! will do for us and requires so little.

IL NATIONS HAVE MONEY
FOR REHABILITATION

Senator Hugh Butler (R.-Nebr.), re-
vealed today that the seventeen West
en European countries asking aid
from the United tSateS under the
Marshall Plan have practically enough
gold dollar holdings and foreign-held
assets here to pay the entire cost of
European rehabilitation, on the basis
of data furnished by the Treasury De
partment.
The official figures furnished to the
Senate in response to a Senate Reso-
luton introduced by Senator Butler
last spring at the time the Marshall
Plan first came under discussion, re-
vealed that Western Europe had $751;
$4,000, 900 in gold and other assets
here as late as last June. Since the
report Of the Presidents Committee on
Foreign Aid estimates that the total
expenses for the program would
amount to between II and IL billion
dollars over the entire four-year pc
Rod, it is obvious that Europe already
has the means to finance its own needs,
Senator Butler declared.
In addition, there is no doubt that
wealthy Europeans have vast sums
hidden in this country which are not
included in the official report" the
Senator pointed out. Such hidden
capitol would no doubt return to Eu-
rope to be invested in rehabilitation
if those countries would reestabliSh
sound c~urrencies and conditions favor
able to private enterprise"
Certainly there is no reason why
Uncle Sam should continue to hand
out tremendous sums for European
assistance as long as the Europeans re-
fuse to use their own to
meet their problems. Any loans that
we make from now on other than for
the relief of the starving should be
negotiated only on a sound business
basis" Senator Butler concluded.

THE LONGSHORE DISPUTE

How any agreement deliberately designed to eyade the punitive provisions of the labor act could be valid under the law something that attorney can understand Yet the fact remains that Juneau long shoremen attempt to enforce such an agreement, have kept this port tied up for almost three weeks now
 It was suggested at yesterdays Chamber of Com merce meeting that the U. S. District Attorney file against the members of the union charge of criminal conspiracy to violate Federal law The particular section the law which the union seeks to avoid has been in effect since June 23 and we see no reason why the U S. Attorney cannot fit to take such steps on behalf of the general public which is suffering from this work stoppage. At any rate the matter deserves serious consideration immediately.
 Certainly should the steamship operators sign such an agreement they would be engaging in conspiracy to destroy the much needed safeguards that the law has erected for the benefit of industry well as the public at large.
 The Juneau longshoremens attitude all along has been public be damned" attitude and they deserve sympathy. Even though other locals have taken the attitude that boats loaded in Seattle before the strike should be unloaded in Alaska the Juneau still refuses to take freight off the Lucidor which arrived in Juneau before the strike started and the Alaska, loaded before the strike started,
