This Changing World
Treaty Shows Finland Is More Useful
To Russia AS Window to the West

divided into two parts: one east of
the Oder. controlled by Russia In
the expectation that 1t might some
day become another Soviet republic;
and the other area west of the
Oder. which soon may be reunited
politically and economically.
Moscow is mindful of the fact
that If this should happen Western
Germany may be included In the
five-power defensive military pact
signed at Brussels last month. This
pact includes Britain, France, Bel
gium, Holland and Luxembourg.
Strategically. if defense require
ments provide that the Rhine shall
be designated as the main line Of
defense against an eventual Red
onslaught, Western Germany must
be added to the five other nations
This necessarily would make the
western powers allies Of Germany
Military Satellite.
Hence, the wording of the treaty
while permitting Finland to remain
on the defensive for the time being
converts that country into a mill
tary satellite Of Russia, just as hap
pened when Germany pushed her
way into Finland for defensive
strategic purposes" and sent troops
to protect her lines Of communica-
ton with Norway.
The Helsinki government Is aware
Of the implications of the new pact,
but was not able to help itself. The
Finnish people, who have under
gone the ordeal of two wars in the
past nine years, have learned that
they cannot count on any kind of
assistance from the west.
The Firms received a great volume
of applause, congratulations and
chocolate bars when they first defied
Russia in 1899 and 1910, but
neither the United States nor the
western European powers went to
their rescue with practical aid when
they stood alone against the over
whelming mass Of Red forces.
When Hitler was finally defeated
Finland paid the price and was
allowed to bargain directly the best
1t could with Moscow. 1t lost vital
territory and paid tremendously
heavy indemnity for nation of less
than 100000 people.
Moscow could have incorporated
Finland into the Soviet state, as it
did Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
But for practical reasons 1t decided
to permit that country degree Of
independence greater than was al
lowed the other satellites.
Finland is more useful to Russia
as window to the west. 1t would
be OF less value If the iron curtain
had fallen on her.

SOAP BOX FILMS
 WILL BE SKOWN
 WEDNESDAY, NIGHT

You may not be the local soap box derby winner, and you may not make the trip to Akron, but every boy in Juneau can make the trip on film by attending the Akron Derby pictures which will be shown in the grade school auditorim Wednes- day night, May l2. at 7:30 o'clock.
 The films, in color and sound, start with the idea of building q car and finish with the Akron win ner taking his bows. Designing and building the cars are graphically illustrated in the film, with a pur- pose to assist every boy entering the race. Not being confined to the technicalities of design and con- struction, the film shows many scenes from national and local races, covers in detail the pre-race activities and fun of boys visiting Akron, portrays trial runs and the final race, and concludes with shots taken at the Champions Banquet, when the championship trophies and prizes are awarded.
 Don Skuse, local soap box chair man, urges all boys to be at the auditorium Wednesday night to en- joy the complete motion picture record of the entire colorful Derby weekend in Akron.
 All boys who have not yet com pleted entry blanks but are inter- ested in building a car, are asked to attend the meeting.

maybe some of the ladies here might

them. There is nothing like infor-
nation from women who have actu-

Here are some of the questions I
have thought Of:
How does the over all living cost
compare with that in Washington?
What type Of things will they
find most difficult to obtain there?
Clothes7 Dress materials?
They are supposed to live IN
Government housing. How comfort
able is 1t?
Should they take their furniture7
(Moving costs will be paid by Gov
ernment). They have quite good
solid mahogany living room, dining
room and bedroom furniture. How
about china? Glassware?
They have a 2-year-old electric
range. Should they take it? Should
they buy an electric refrigerator
to take with them?
Should they take their car?
How adequate is the medical care
available? Dental?
What types of clothes will my

II Is always fun when . column
stimulates personal comments from
readers. Not long ago wrote about
hobbies because it seems to me that
. hobby Is one way In which the
woman In the home can keep indi-
vidual tastes alive and the business
woman can ind relaxation and
change Of pace from the work she
does In an ofnce.
After writing about hobbies I
usually receive an interesting mail.
One woman has . beautiful glass
collection Of small objects. Many Of
these are animals but there are
many other exquisite and tiny OBJ
jects. One woman writer has the
hobby of collecting beautiful and
picturesque costumes. This would
be rather expensive but 1t certainly
would give outlet to artistic ability.
Research could be done on a cos
tune and then 1t could probably be
made ut . sm al cost. Another
woman has q wonderful collection
OF buttons and jewelry and orna-
ments. These are really beautiful
and unbelievably varied. Still an
other collects dolls from different
countries.
Flower arrangement Is one hobby
which Is extremely satisfying to
most women. This can be a COM
bination Of growing the flowers and
learning about their most attractive
arrangements and combinations or
1t can simply be arrangements of
flowers you buy There are several
fine books on this subject.
Whether your hobby goes into the
collecting field, the study field, the
sports field or the creative field, If it
Is to be truly interesting you should
learn all you can about 1t. The
libraries are chock-full of informa-
ton about practically everything on

books as What to Do Before the
Doctor Comes" were, in their own
way. the best sellers of their times.
Today the thrifty housewife, the
bachelor girl, the school teacher or
the female Government worker does
not accept unchallenged the hoary
tradition that an automobile is a
mysterious mechanical monster
which surrenders only to the we'll
paid ministrations of the stronger
sex. Miss Toiler may not be
able to define a rocker-arm as
sembly of an engine with overhead
values, but she knows, unmistak-
ably, when the car has cracked

She can't check the valve tappet
clearance with a feeler gauge, but
she can drain and flush a radiator
once she has been told how and
once she knows that she saves time
and money by doing the simple odd
job herself. Women. according to
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, are just as good drivers as
men, and they should be able to
check the gas supply. water level in
the radiator, and tell whether the
engine is properly supplied with oil.
Many a young and vigorous high
school or college girl, with arms
strengthened by tennis, soft ball and
swimming - and sometimes golf -
can do superb job of changing a
spark plug or two, and has already
learned to detect if one is cracked
or missing fire. Yet she wouldn't

ing the heavy traffic days of sum-
mer, make your purchase in advance
if you are sure you know the brand
your car calls for and the correct
size.
You merely loosen the hold-down
screw on the top Of the oil filter,
raise the metal lid and lift out the
old and dirty cartridge. Insert
new one, close the lid and fasten
the hold-down screw tightly again.
That's all there is to it, yet it is
something which should be done
every nine or 10000 miles. This re-
moves the sludge and impurities
which are collected in the filter and
allows for smoother operation of the
car.
If you're young enough, you can
take off some pounds of excess flesh
by doing your own car cleaning and
polishing. Work, yes, but you may
save money you feel you can Ill
afford to spend, young lady. What
you'd pay out for that cleaning and
polishing job might buy you a fine
pair Of imported French gloves, The
same rule would apply to vacuum
cleaning the interior of the car,
and measuring the floor space for a
mat to replace the worn rubber mat
one you might buy at cut-rate
store or at chain store.
There are many things which the
thrifty young lady-particularly one
with no husband upon whom to
rely-can do. Testing the pressure
IN your tires couple of times a
week with an accurate tire gauge
will repay many times what you
spent for the gauge. You will not
then want to drive with tires over

know that both tire and tube will
soon wear out. Recapping. was a
must" during World War II; 1t is
still good business to have it done
for those tires whose carcasses are
not broken nor torn.
One more thought - don't be a
speed maniac if you're trying to
save money. The thrifty young
lady will proceed at a steady, mod
crate driving pace and save gasoline
and oil. If you travel 300 miles a
day on your vacation trip, your gas
oline is costing you at the very least
S. a day. That is, assuming you
are not speeding. You can 60 al
most twice as far on the gasoline
allowance you have If you don't
burn 1t up speeding.
That saving, Milady, might pay
