BEHRENDS' BUYER BACK FROM COAST
 WITH NEW STYLES

MT. and Mrs. Thomas Hutchlngs returned yesterday via Pan Am erican from Seattle, where they have been vacationing, following a buying trip made by Mrs. Hutch ings for B. M Behrends Depart ment Store.
 T want to emphasize one thing, she said, and that is that nowhere between Seattle and Los Angeles did I see anyone wearing excessive y long skirts.
 She said that for street wear the ladies have rebelled against the more extravagant aspects of the New Look" and that designers have compromised to a certain ex- tent, with skirts fer daytime wear measuring about l4 inches from the floor.
 Tt is my pe4=onai opinion, she said. that the so-called new look was introduced too drast!cally. l noticed that in Los Angeles they are wearing light stockings as well as black, and that only in the eve ming are women going in Q big way for the new styles.
 Tcenagers are going all out for w.de full skirts, with tight fitted sweaters tucked in at the waist, geld belts galore, and flat gold sandals, she said They are adopt ing the long skirts most enthusias- ticany. and are also sporting lots of plaids.
 Mrs. Hutchings has been gone over a month, during which time she was fortunate in securing good supply of spring merchanoise in spite of curtailments.
 She expects that manufacturers will be selling by allotments II the near future, due to shortages of materials, particularly silks ano gabardines.
 In all clothing lines, prices are uniformly higher, she said. Ever the moderately priced Rosenblun and Koret lines which she has op- tained are more expensive than for merly.
 According to Mrs. Hutchings prints are being featured in big way in the states. and large sup nIv has been ordered for Behrend': with a showing to be held after tht first Of the year.
 Among other items which she ha selected are plenty of skirts, blous es, and other apparel suitable 10 tesnagers and business girls.

MAY KEEP HAYNES
 CUTOFF OPEN FOR
 WINTER TRUCKING
Private Operators VoIun- feer 10 Pay Mdinfe-
 nance Expenses

Hopes that the Haines Cutoff will be kept open this winter were raised today by Mayor Leonard King of Haines who said that at tempts are now being made by private citizens to undertake main- tenance of the highway during the winter months. He told George Sundtorg. Executive Assistant 10 the Governor. that seven Canadian truckers left Haines yesterday, hauling oil for Whitehorse, who are going to attempt to reopen the road which has been closed for the past ten days.
 The seven men, said King. have acquired limited amount of equipment but need more which they are trying to lease from the Alaska Road Commission. The ARC is maintaining the American side of the road and will continue to do so all winter. In Juneau today. the ARC explained that, while anxious to assist, it hesitates to send equipment into Canada without clearing with officials in Washington, D. C.
 The Governors office wired the Interior Department today urging that arrangements be made so that the highway may be kept open.
 The Canadian government offi- cially closed their portion of the highway on Nov. l by removing their crews. There is no snow vet on the American side of the boundary.
 King reported to Sundborg that the seven Canadian truckers are willing to keep the road open at their own expense, but that they have requested additional financial aid from Fairbanks trucking com panies.

CHANUKAH AND CHRISTMAS
MATTER OF SELF RESPECT
By Alfred SegaI

With no d S p a g m e n O.
Christmas which is a very good
holiday, too, l should like to point
out the merits of Chanukah.
Christmas has been impinging all
around us almost for a month al
ready and only a most impervlous
and protected Jewish child can
remain unaffected by its gentle
implication. Christmas in all the
shop windows! Christmasy pieces
in the newspapers! If had con-
troll over my grandchildren-and
what grandfather has much II
anything to say in the manage
ment of his grandchildren? - l
wouldn't warn them against the
influence of Christmas or other
wise try to sequester them from
this annual folkway.
After all, it's good for all chill
dren to know one of the social de-
cencies, even if it comes only once
a year and even if it is special to
one. of the religions. And it's good
toward the brotherhoods for chill
dren to know something of the re-
ligion of their neighbors. l, myself,
am not unaffected by the Signlfi-
canoe of the season With not the
least effort of religious conscience
l exchange the appropriate greet
ing and, in fact, wish my neigh
bors a good Christmas all the year
'round-from Dec 25 to Dec. %,
that is. By that l subtly imply my
hope that they will keep every
day in the year the charitable i'm
pulses that move them at this sea-
son.
Yet I feel griped to hear of Jew
ish families that make much of
Christmas and nothing at all of
Chanukah. It's all right to share
with the neighbors their celebra-
ton of good will on earth and the
hope of peace, but there's some
thing lacking of self-respect in
those who do not appreciate their
own spiritual treasures.
A few years ago l discovered
one of these poor. I was attending
a party at which Jewish lady
of means and considerable local
prominence also was a guest. She
addressed herself to certain gen.
tleman (not Jewish) with historic
family connection.
"How I envy you, Mr." she
exclaimed.
What for?"
"Your background, Mr.! Your
history! Your family's prominence
in big affairs through so many
years! There's so much in having
background"
The embarrassed G n e m r
gave her a devastating reply
Mrs" he replied, ''may I tel
you how much I envy you you1
own deep, immense background
Your great history! The courage
of your peoples religious convic-
tions that has kept them alive fol
1000 years! Your prophets! Your
Old Testament! Mrs., you have
much deeper background thar
mine"
(In case some people have tc
be reminded, it should be said thai
