And if farm income continues
good-that is, if the farmer has the
money to spend, farm families in
the next year are likely again to
spend a good share of it for electrical
appliances.

GIRL SCOUTS AND BROWNIES
CONTRIBUTE TO JULIETTE
Low FRIENDSHIP FUND


The price Of admission for the
Girl Scouts to attend the dance at
the New Central auditorium last
Friday evening was their contribu-
ton to the Juliette Low Friendship
Fund. The Girls gave as many pen
MES as they are years old.
Girls and leaders had a lively
time doing a square dance and the
Virginia Reel, as we'll as modern
dances.
The evening ended all too soon
with refreshments and sandwiches,
cookies and punch.
The Brownies and their leaders
had a picnic lunch on May Day at
the Recreation Park at which time
they brought their contribution of
pennies to the Fund. All had fine
time playing games and eating their
lunch, with all the ice cream cones
they could eat to finish it off.
This fund to which all Girl
Scouts in America are asked to con-
tribute each year was originated as
a memorial to the founder of Girl
Scouting in America, Juliette Low
Because of her great belief in the
international good will that Scout
ing and Guiding would bring to
the girls of the world, the fund
is used for international purposes.
The greater share of this Juliette
Low World Friendship Fund is now
used toward the promotion of Girl
Scouting and Girl Guiding through
out the world, by means of inter-
nationl encampmentS, conferences,
exchange of trainers, and the work
of the World Association.

History Repeats
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Fairbanks News -Miner) The growing tenseness between the East and the West has pushed United Nations to the brink of disaster.
 Diplomatic talks on the Berlin crisis have broken off. The controversy has been thrown into the LIN for solution. News dispatches from Paris warn that Soviet withdrawal from the peace tribunal is strong possibility
 The U.SlSR. doubtless would be followed in any such action by satellite powers. The LIN would be left an empty shell, without powers or influence
 There is in the present situation a grim reminder of the of the 193os which marked the destruc tion of the League Nations and foreshadowed the coming of the Second World War.
 The League came into being January 10, 1920, organized chiefly through the efforts of Woodrow Will son. He insisted at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that the covenant of the League be written into the Treaty of Versailles.
 Main points of the covenant were CD the mainte- nance of peace; @ the peaceful solution of interna- tional disputes by law public debate impartial 1nves tigation and concation and t3) international CO., operation in general The similarity to the LIN charter is striking
 The League consisted originally of AZ member states By 1928 the number was 54, including Ger many Six more nations joined subsequently,, bring ing the total to even 60 compared With 3o states n the United Nations.
 Refusal of the United States to join was the Leagues first serious blow But the organization did not begin fall apart until Japan withdrew refusing to entertain any question regarding its conflict With China.
 Soon after Hitler came to power, Germany with draw Italy withdrew when the League sought to impose sanctions during the on Ethiopia Russia was expelled because of it's on Finland. By the time the gray clad Nazi legons marched into Poland the League had ceased to exist except as name
 Developments of the next few days may resoiVe similarly the fate of the United Nations.
 Diplomats and representatives of the great powers have the center the world stage as they strive to prevent repetition of history Peoples everywhere watching anxiousy, have vital stake in the outcome of their struggle.

LAND WITHDRAWALS AND
 GLACIER BAY

When the question of land withdrawals by the Department of the Interior is under discussion, as far as Juneau is concerned principal interest is att tached to the Glacier Bay National Monument.
 This is what we find about Glacier Bay National Monument in report on the Land Withdrawals and Reserves Affecting the Territory of Alaska:
 "Gacer Bay National Monument reserved by Executive Order No 3983 of April l, 1924, covered 256OOO acres of land By proclamation No 1733 Of February 26 1925 the monument established to embrace ll64 300 acres it having been determined that the scenic area required within these bound aries. however by Proclamation No 2564 Of August 4 1922 the President rereseryed an additional area bringing the total to two million acres
 This additional embraces numerous islands and the shore of Excursion Inlet all of the Ciustavus area the north shore of Icy Passage Bartlett Cove Dundas Bay Taylor Bay, Graves liar Dor. Murphy's Cove Dixon Harbor, Lituya Bay, the north shore of North Passage, north Indian Passage and the north shore of Cross Sound reserving n all over 14O miles of Alaskas coast line for the proper care protection of objects of scient fife interest situated on the lands within said monu ment"
 In view of the fact that the objects of scientific interest in Glacier Bay Monument are glaciers and mountains that have survived some 30.000 years and in view of the fact that the greater portion of the additional reserve lies the opposite side of 1200O- foot mountain range it is difficult to understand how islands bays and ets extending l4o miles along the
