Maritime Strike Talks Nearing Break Of
Registration of Drah-Age
 Men Is Underway in Nation
By JACK RUTLEDGE

WhSnlN1 lON, huS. ou.TW'-- This is R-Day--Registration Day.
 It's the first step in Americas s plan to build up it's armed forces with a peacetime draft.
 Beginning today and continuing drought Sept. IS, nine and "a half million men l8 through 25 years old will go to registration centers and fill cNt postcard sized forms.
 Registration doesn't mean these men will be drafted. Actually it's just a sort of official census of drait-age men.
 Only fraction of the millions who register will be drafted into
 the armed forces for 2l-month stretch during the next two years. Maybe one out of every 42. For example, all l8-year-o odds
 and veterans will register. but Lthose under 19 and most of the
 veterans are exempt And millions of others will be deferred for var ious reasons. But they must regis
 ter, anyway.
 Most of those eventually induct- ed will be under g. And almost all of them will serve in the Army. The Navy, Marines and Air Force hope to ill their ranks with vol unteers.
 Employing the same frame Of mind as when contemplating a trip to the dentists chair, the yulner- able males of Juneau (those born after Aug. 30, l922) seem to be postponing their trips to the local Selective Service offices as long as possible. Both offices, located in the Kline and Federal Buildings reported today's registration as nov ling very slowly, with only small number of prospective generals hay ing stopped in to pay their regards by. o'clock this afternoon. It was further announced that 10th Juneau offices will be oper land eager during the noon hours.

Bulgarian Red Party
To Open 5th Congress
In Sofia Saturday
BY the Assoeioted Press

III ~ WV NssSStetSA two
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Dec. 16.-The
Bulgarian Workers Party Com
munist) will open its fifth congress
here Saturday.
Beyond the bare statement of the
agenda, little can be foretold of
what will take place. Sofia is being
decorated with pictures, banners,
slogans and placards in true Com
munist style.
The agenda includes general dis
cuSsion of the five-year plan and an
educational Marxist-Leninist pro-
gram, election of leaders, adoption
of new program, and a review and
appraisal of past activities.
Prominent guests are expected
from abroad. Preparations are be-
ing made for an immense celebra-
ton and publicity for it is being
drummed up in every town and
hamlet in Bulgaria.
Dimitrov Plays Leading Role.
Premier Georgi Dimitrov, 66, Sec
retary general of the Bulgarian
Communist Party and a leader of
the old Third International, of
course, will have the leading part in
the congress. People close to him
say he is in comparatively good
health. He is energetic, has an iron
will and is glutton for detail.
His right-hand man is Traycho
Kostov, 81, deputy premier, head of
the economic committee and men,
ber of the Politburo of the Com
munist aPrty. When remier Dimi-
trov is away, Mr.. Kostov Is acting
premier.
vassil Kolarov, II, is one of
Premier Dimitrov's closest aides and
like Mr.. Kostov will have an active
!. part in the congress. He Is a men,
ber of the Politburo, foreign min
lister and vice chairman of the
cabinet.
All three have been Communists
most Of their adult lives. Premier
Dimitrov, Mr. Kostov and many of
their close associates have been SEN
fenced to death one or more times.
Square Opened in Sofia.
Premier Dimitrov and his council
of ministers direct Bulgarian affairs
from the former palace in the CEN
ter Of Sofia. It's surrounding fence
and thickets of trees have been cut
away and opened into a broad and
beautiful square.
Bulgaria has to cover within one
or two decades the ground covered
by other nations in centuries"
Premier Dimitrov says, stressing
that hard work is the essential of
Bulgarian life today.
During the current year 250,000
Bulgarian boys and girls contrib
uted an average of so days of
voluntary labor working on dams,
rail lines, roads, electric power
plants, telephone and telegraph

w OuQl collapsed In the Onl-
cago Stadium ring two months
ago, never again to regain con-
seriousness, Chicago's boxing
world was appalled,. Feelings
even ran higher when Baroudi's
manager, Mike Spinelli, tried to
leave town with the purse, leav-
ing his helpless fighter to face
death alone.
Ezzard Charles, the other man
in the ring that night, talked of
quitting after fighting a benefit
for Baroudi's family. The pro-
motors, Jake Schoenwald and
Jack Begun, announced that
Charles would fight a suitable
opponent in the 'House of
Sports" on Madison street in the
near future for the benefit of
Baroudi's family.
On the night of May 7, Ezzard
Charles and Elmer "Violent" Ray
will battle in the West side
Arena before a house that will
probably gross close to 100000.
This is, we assume, the afore-
mentioned benefit for Baroudi's
family. From the 100000 gate,
the bereaved family will receive
$4,000, $4,000 from Charles and
$4,000 from the gracious promot-
ers.
There has been talk of ca
pacity crowd to watch these two
capable fighters slug it out to
ten-round decision. One thing
is sure, every spectator present
at this fight who was unfortu-
nate enough to be presen: in the

a stifled feeling that Sam Bar

The Territory of Alaska has purchased the heroic sized statue of the Alaska Prospector" created by the late sculptor Alonzo Victor Lewis. It is to be cast in bronze and then placed in front of the Pioneer Home at Sitka.
 The Alaska Prospector" will be the first statue of it's size in All aska It is twelve feet high and three tons of clay were used to sculp it into the finished form. It will weigh approximately $500 pounds when finished in bronze.
 Mir. Lewis created this statue af ter four years of steady work. It has been acclaimed by all who have seen it, especially the Art critics, who say it is one of the finest works of art in the United States.
 Several models posed for the Alaska Prospector," but the face resembles that of the late Skag- way Bill Fonda who posed for MT. Lewis.
 The Board of Trustees of the Pioneers Home, consisting of Hen ry Roden of Juneau, J. J. Conway of Sitka, and Charles Carter of Juneau, negotiated with Mrs. Zal- main Gross to purchase from her fathers estate this statue in it's present form. Half of the money was taken from the Territory's Sourdough Memorial Fund and the other half was raised for the pur- pose of the statue for the Pion- eer's Home by w. D. Gross, who, along with the late Filler Hansen, Superintendent of the home until his death, Earl Knight, publisher of the Alaska Weewly, the late John Troy, and a few others whose names we do not know, worked diligently over a period of years, trying to find means to give to our Alaskan pioneers this ever lasting tribute.
 MT. Gross started this fund in 1940 in conjunction with his yearly Pioneers Christmas Fund and has never given up hope that one day this shrine would be unveiled.
 Everyone in Southeastern Alas ka and other parts of Alaska who has reached unflinchingly into his or her pocket each year, so the old boys might have a happier Christmas, may know that no mat ter how small or how large their contribution, small portion of this helped to make the erection of this statue possible.
 Alonzo Lewis's fame as an art ist rests on such works as his 13- ton World War Memorial on the Capital ground in Olympia. Six years of effort and Is tons of clay went into its creation. It is the largest similar group in the world and is acclaimed as a masterpiece of sculptural art. His celebrated "Doughboy" statue stands in front of the Civic Auditorium in Seat tie. His Lincoln statues in Tacoma and Spokane The Soldiers Mem orial in Centralia. His Ezra Meek CT Pioneer Monument at Puyallup, and others too numerous to men, ton.

Gelf-giving for the sake of others.
 By the brevity of the earthly Life and its measureless possibil- tiles, may we be unceasingly chal lenged to live for objectives that are of supreme importance, and not for tawdTy things that perish with the passing day. May we Ateadfastly refuse to allow any room in our lives for petty and ignoble ambitions; for secret vim dictiveness and blind prejudice; for narrow bigotry and unreasoned intolerance; for shams and insin- cerities; for pesSimism, uncharit- ablenesS and all sharp-thorned dis content, remembering wisely that all such maladies of mind and heart discolor and disfigure the whole landscape of life. May we always be given the poise and power of fair-mindedness; a dom inant sense of the supremacy and eternity of righteousness.
 If we must sometimes be called to travel some lonely road far h. to the sullen night; if we must feel the dull ache of some hurt of yesterday, or must walk in the hush of some trying ordeal, today or tomorrow; if we must some times be misunderstood, and eat the bread of sorrow, and dwell in the House of Pain - may We be given Faith that can triumphantly go alone in the dark, the Love that suffereth long and is kind, and Hope that grows brighter an d stronger unto the Perfect Day. If we have relaxed our hold on the higher things, may We at once re- solve, with help Divin, henceforth to walk in the Better Way, until the Sunset Lights shall close the earthly day. And then, may we be given an abundant entrance into the Glad Homeland" not far a. way where none are sick, or poor, or lone, the place where we shall find our own - the Eternal Home prepared by Him Who brought Life and Immortality to Light through His Gospel, and Who has given His own guarantee of the eternal blessedness of all who are willing to be His friends.
 As the Wise Men of old follow ed the Star to Him Who came at the first Christmas, so may we follow Him whom they sought, wherever He shall lead. May we turn from all broken cisterns wherein there is no water, to Him Who is the Living Water, and within the sanctuary of Whose Heart there is ever an adequate shelter for all baffled minds and burdened hearts.
 Our best love for our dear church and our best wishes for everyone in Wrangell for Christ mas and beyond. always.

WorldAdhtnks now as it did then that what it needs is an advisor, an orator, a scholar a general, a scientist, philanthropist, an In- dustrialist. But what the world needs more than any of these is Q Savior for sin is here, and some times the night is dark and there are no stars-no star, that is, eX- cept the Christmas Star of Beth lehem, Jesus. This is the most joy ous message of the ages - and al- ways will be, this message that was sung that night. Glory to God in the highest" - Merry Christmas"
 Glory to God in the highest!" Glory to God in the highest to the Father for the gift of His Son to lead us, to save us. Glory to God in the highest to the Son for the generosity of His self-bestowal - withholding nothing, suffering all things, embracing what we dread most poverty, obscurity, death. Glory to God in the highest to the Holy Spirit who conceived In tneI Holy Virgin the human nature of the Holy Child, guided His boy hood, fulfilled His manhood in HisI life and His work and the work of His disciples and in Us.

 Therefore, in union with the saints let us pray that this Christ mastide we may love Jesus as His mother loved Him in life, in death. in resurrection; serve Him as S. Joseph served Him, worship Him as the shephrds worshipped Him. adore Him as the Wise-men adored Him, and praise Him as the holy angels praised Him. Let us pray for humility, for the grace of sim plicity of life, or fervent devotion to the Fathers will which will ell able Us to become Christ-like. For then as good Christian men We may rejoice,

 Dear Wrangell people, Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost, and to finish the work of Him that sent Him. To do this He went to the cross, gave up His life in the flesh, that we might have life.
 Greater love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his friends Remember, dear people, we were not His friends when He came. We were His enemies So, my dear WraRgell people, I pray as l try to write these few lines, that all that may read this, who are not saved, will ask yourselves this question: Where am l going to spend eternity? As this is for ever. Remember, dear people, standing somewhere in the shad-
