City Fathers To Be Hosts At Giant Bonfire Today

City officials have ordered the burning of the city hall where it now stands, instead of moving iJ 0 the schoolgrounds as was planned earlier in the week. (See story page p.
 The building is an old log structure with the walls put up first and the floor laid after wards. and theie is no support for the walls necessary in trder to move the building.
 The building will be burned today with every precaution ta- ken in order to preveOt spread ing of the fire The fire depart me t W Il stand by and burn the structure by sections.
 City officials learned yester- day that it would be cheaper to destroy the building by fine than to rage it and burn the rotten lumber A bid by Ralph Shupp to purchase the hall and move 1t for $5 was turned down by the council last week and Pat Lynch was hired to move it, on g. labor material cost basis His bill Is al ready more than $2U0 City off, cials hope that by Ealvaging windows doors, and plumbing. part of the cost will be made up.
 The city hall is an old Kodiak landmark having stood there for more than half century and perhaps longer.
 An old log building, the hall was many years prlVate resi- dehce Later, around the turn of century, it was 8 jail, from which the prisoners could watch the activities of the entire town.
 When the old Baptist Mission on Woody Island burned, head quarters were moved to the building, which until recently bore an old slgn, painted over, which clearly read Baptist Church..
 It has been the city ball for the past few years, since the city became incorporated.

LiQuOr Ordinance Will Be Tested

The owner of a local liquor dispensary was arrested this week on a charge of serving h. quor to a married woman under 2l yeals old, and the City Coun cil at a special meeting Monday night will attempt to cla fly the policy regarding the legal status of such a person in dispenaly
 The Territorial laws and the city ordinance forbid serving a person under 2l years old, but there are other laws to the effect that when a minor female mar ries she attalns her majority.
 The case will be heard some- time next week by the city ma gistrate. but first, the Council must determine a policy to guide the city magistrate, a city official said yesterday
 Ralph Rivers. attorney gener al of the te. ritory, at the request of the city for clarification of DO icy, has written that my O. pinion IS that the law prohibits purveyine liquor to any person under 2l without exception tor married persons under 2l Min ors can't be in dispen' pre- mis- unless with parent or guardian.
 MT Rivers adds that my view IS that by specifying 2l years of age as the dividing line bet ween these entitled to pa- tronIze il dispensary and those who are barred, without any particular reference to age of majority, the legislature has fix- ed 2l years in all cases Enforce ment policy in particular divis. Ions is established by the U. s Attorney and Marshal of the division"
 Raymond Hummer, Third Division U. s. Attorney, has ex- pressed the opinion that when a minor female is married, accord ing to la v she attains her major ity which is 2l years for all pur- poses, but MT. Rivers has stated previously to 8 local inquirer that 1t would be "better to stick to my interpretation pending decision by the District Court when 8 test case comes before it. or bending 8 clarifying act by the next legislature"
 The city must enforce territor- al laws in order to obtain re funds on liquor license taxes. Another need for clarifying the question k that many local dis pensaries house eating establish ments in the same premises.

Letters TO the Editor
MRS. WHITE WEEPS OVER
CONDITIONS OF OUR COUNTRY
Dear Editor of The Sun:

Dear Editor of The Sun:
While lying in my sick bed lis
tening to commentator Howard
Pyle speak on Army Day and how
and why our boys, white, black,
red and yellow, who fought so
bravely and valiantly, yes, and how
millions and millions of them lost
their lives on battle fields from
Bunker Hill to Okinawa. was
made to weep-yeS, I shed tears
to think how after the black and
some of the Mexican, Jews and
Indian boys, are treated after re-
turning from those foreign battle
fields. How some of them have
been lynched in the south and how
one is being held now, to be elec-
trocuted because he dared to do
what any other boy would have
done under the circumstances. If
the Ingrams are electrocuted in
the face of evidence, I can't see
how our Government could expect
Negro youth to help defend it in
the time of war.
I think it is high time the gov
ernment began practicing democ-
racy, instead of trying to compel
other nations to practice it. It is
too foolish for words to be so busy
cleaning up another's house, when
our own houses are dirty.
o God, help our nation which is
hanging by a spiders web, is my
prayer.
MRS. SARAH M. WHITE,
Rt. 2, Box 982, Tempe, Ariz.

PERSPECTIVE
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

Emerson said that anything is
beautiful if viewed in the right
perspective.
Much difference of opinion is due
to the fact that people view a GER
tain thing from different moral
distances.
The difference, for instance, be-
tween young mans opinion of his
marriage and his grandfather's
opinion of it is that the young man
is very close to it, and the grand
father forty years off.
You will find that two people
rarely agree upon the apparent
size of the moon. One will compare
it to saucer, another to a dinner
plate, and another to barrel head.
These diversions of judgment lie
not so much in the eye as in the
mind. They cannot unmix their
fancies, notions and preconceptions
of how the moon ought to look
from the picture of how the moon
actually does look.
We make the same sort of error
in judging ourselves. DR.. Holmes,
for instance, said that there are
many Johns; There are the John
that John thinks he is, the John
that John thinks others think he is,
the John others think he is, and so
on. And who shall say what John
really is?
When you are close to me you
are five feet high; when you are
some hundred feet away, you are
but one foot high; and at a very
great distance you are but speck;
which is your real size? Why should
you claim that your size close up
is more actual than your size a
mile away?
AS a matter of fact, we are often
more deceived in the relative i'm
portance of things by being too
close than by being too far. When
you look through a microscope at
beauty's cheek it is far from hand
some. Even a lovely girl, which is
undoubtedly the loveliest object in
creation, must be considered from
just the right distance and angle.
The so-called evidence of our
senses" must be criticized, It is not
the final evidence. For our brain
concept is made up not only of the
actual image brought to the brain
by the eye, but our imagination
mixes into it and also our precon-
ceived notions of how the thing
ought to look. And besides this,
much depends upon the distance
from it.
A very practical use of the law
of mental perspective may be made
in the instance of tragic occur
renceS. We think that such and
such a thing that has befallen US
is of tremendous import. 1t seems
to crush all our hopes. Perhaps it
may appear to render life not
worth living.
But if we are able to retire to
our chamber and close the door
and think it over, and get ourselves
into a state of mind where we will
see the event as it is going to ap-
pear to us ten years from now, 1T
may not loom so threateningly.
There is a homely saying that
has much philosophy concealed in
it: "It will make no difference a
hundred years from now"

terians, 4 Lutheran, 2 Congrega-
tional, 1 Christian, 1 Latter Day
Saints, Roman Catholic and 1

Letter.
The average Minister today is
trying to carry far more of load
than he can ever hope to succeed
in carrying alone; even though he
serves a Church of only moderate
size, he is attempting to do num-
ber of important things. All Min
listers need trained and conse-
Grated group of Lay Workers to
share with them, the pastoral load
of Church management, religious
education, and evangelism. But the
real help must come from mothers
and fathers, who are consecrated
to making their own family life
Christian; without this cooperation
no church nor pastor can serve the
people efficiently. We can never
have in Arizona, Christian COM
munities, if our home lives are
neglected. Bring back the family
devotional life, the regular habit
of family prayer for the enrich
ment of home and church.
The Women's Society of Chris
tian service will give it's annual
