Troy. This would be no rough
cut mill, but would not be larger
than a 10 million feet per year cut.
The first thing these young men
wish to know is the attitude the
people of Troy might have toward
them and their enterprise.
1t is known that there has been
some sentiment against the Drury
operators and while the Drury's
hope to retain some interest in the
firm they will not interfere in the
workings in any way, but neither
they nor the other investors can
recoup in any way what they have
put into the business yet it is their
wish to discharge their obligation to
the community and make whatever
deal is best for the town.
Secondly they want to know the
attitude of the Forest Service. On
other occasions Judge Erickson said
prospective purchasers had been
told by the Forest Service that
there was nothing in Troy for the
small operator except larch, lodge
pole, and those inferior woods; that
it was no place for the small OPP
orator and that within a short per.
iod there would be no small mills
within the area. This was the story
both here and in Missoula. Most
of the audience was familiar with
the proposed sustained yield pro-
gram in this area but the judge
reviewed it briefly. The j. Neils
Lumber company to get all the
timber allowed to be cut except
6 million feet reserved for the little
operator and 10 million feet to be
processed in full in the Troy area.
Judge Erickson thought it appar-
ent from what he could learn the
Troy area in the community stabili-
cation program of the Forest Ser
vice was being Disseminated a
gainst. The amount of land in this
Federal Unit owned by the govern
ment was so far in excess of the
estimated amount owned by the J.
Neils Lumber Company that it was
like using bait ten times as large
as the prospective fish to be caught, |
when the government attempted to
establish this unit Despite this the
Forest Service personnel assured
nm Troy was being taken care Of
but by much questioning he could |
not ascertain how.
But we are up against a Federal |
Agency and a large efficient com
0any when we protest. If this sus-
aimed yield program goes through |
t will create a go year monopoly
IN our forests, and every young
nan will work for one company or
cave Lincoln county. The schools
will suffer by low appraisals and
We do not want this.
The meeting was left open for
discussion and it was decided to
end the Burns Bros, letter telling
hem what the sentiment of the as
ociation was for them. A further
discussion on Sustained Yield fol-
owed.

y from Troy, the Forest Service,

Marlene is probably the most

and the most efficient. She is the

was of continental glamour
girl and practical hausfrau.
Her cooking is sumptuous. So is
her figure. Her smile has the Sec

Movie stars used to hide
their children. Marlene
Dietrich has always loved
showing off her family
1T WAS the pleasant task of a
Il friend of mine to attend Mar
lene Dietrich on her recent visit to
West Point, where an imposing
array of Army brass was waiting
to pin the Medal of Freedom on
her for her fine work overseas.
Miss Dietrich outshone all the
brass. With her skirts swirling
around those magnificent limbs,
she was a more stirring spectacle,
my friend maintained, than the
famed parade of cadets.
Into the Soapsuds
LATER on my friend was even
more impressed. Miss Dietrich
displayed an unseemly haste to be
done with the ceremony. A linn
CUISINE sped her back to New York
City, stopped at an unimpressive
walk-up apartment on Third Ave
nue.. A few minutes later she had
rolled up her sleeves and was
elbow deep in soapsuds.
The apartment belonged to her
daughter. Maria, who was then

solicitude over1nuch. Don't worry
about me-" she told them with
mild irritation. Il am a horse"
Not all of her conduct, however,
has been admired by all people.
She is unconventional and most
defiant about it. 81 detest medi-
ocrity and mildness," she says.
81 either love or 1 hate"
She acts out these convictions,
too. If you disagree with her she
recoils from you with horror. If
something you say pleases her, she
positively coos and draws nearer.
And since any sensible man would
prefer to have her draw nearer,
Marlene is not often contradicted.
Hsz Friends Are Loyal
Nor an easy person to get along
with probably, but she commands
extraordinary loyalty from her
friends. The late Josef Won Stern
berg, who discovered her, took
the rap for her bad pictures. And
he released her from her contract
50 that she might appear in more
varied and suitable roles. This
sort of action had no precedent
in Hollywood.
No one has ever understood the
relationship between Miss Die
trich and Rudolf Sieber, a film
director to whom she has remained
married for a quarter century al
though she sees little of him.
Reporters used to poster
Miss Dietrich with: *'When are
you divorcing your husband?"
Finally, she turned on one inter-
viewer. you have been asking
me that question for eight years.
Aren't you tired of it YETI" Even
tually the reporters got tired of it.
Miss Dietrich's record as a
mother is less open to conjecture.
She is ferociously adoring. She
constantly appeared in public with
her daughter when Maria was in
her teens and it was the fashion
for movie stars to hide, if not deny,
their offspring.
Incidentally, Miss Dietrich
makes no bones about being a
grandma. To be sure, she does
not need to. Her face and figure
have changed very little in her
more than two decades in pictures.
Frozen Out
Her career has been less uni
form. She started as a promising
rival to Greta Carlo but dropped
out of the running after a series of
languorous and boring roles. Ex-
hibitors termed her "box-office
poison" and froze her out for two
years. She came back strong in.
of all things, a Western comedy.
And then the war came and took
a four-year bite out of her career.
The war over, Marlene Dietrich
is currently hotter than ever. 1t
is a pleasure to report that she is

 General J. Lawton Collins, Army Deputy Chief of Staff made several pertinent observations and dis closures during weekend inspection of Ladd Air Force base.
 Chief among them the first official word that the peaceme draft law is expected to pro- vide ground troops in large numbers for the Alaskan defenses A portion of the young drafted in the United States for 21 months service will be sent to Alaska for training and tours of duty.
 It has already been announced that men inducted in the Territory will be trained here and assigned to regular units in the Alaska command
 The result will be military manpower in Alaska such as has not been since the end of the

 Both officials mnimized the possibilities of im mediate danger to Alaska in the present strained rela tions between the United States and Soviet Russia. they agreed the Territory will position of vast strategic importance in the event of hosilities while becoming vulnerable defensively
 They said Congressional approval of the nations second peacetme conscription law and the appro- priaton of funds for Army Air Force and Navy hous ing in Alaska are the two prime factors which will enable the Temitory's defenses to be strengthened.
 Even had troops been available in sufficient num- bers to Alaskan defenses in the past, Gen. Collins noted there shelter to accommodate them.
 There is still doubt that the construction program be resumed in time to make substantial progress the waning weeks of Alaskas brief building season Much will depend upon how swiftly the contractua agreements can be completed
 These circumstances being the case, it becomes in- creasingy difficult to understand why the two meas ures-the draft and the military building appropra tion-were among the last of the major bills acted upon by Congress.

FOSTER FATHER WANTS HELP

Attorney General Tom Clark is looking for 300 part-time fathers to help take care of his wayward boys. |.
 No ordinary job of baby slttlng, Clark's idea is to give each Kid at the Federal Reformatory spon- sor, thus help to guide the boys back on the straight-and-narroW.
 Clark has some $50 kids under his wing-all convicted of Federal offenses and serving time at Wash ington's National Training School for boys. He has taken per sonal interest in their cases, but can't give individual attention to each although he will listen to anyone complaining of a bum rap
 For a closer, heart to- heart ap- proach, Clark is trying to recruit individual sponsors. Since he work ed out the idea two months ago, he has already rounded up TO foster fathers through civic organ izations. Each is responsible for one boy, must visit the boy at least twice a month and take him on an outing once month. It is up to the sponsor to bring his charge back into society, first. by teaching; then by working for his parole; and finally, by finding him job in a proper environment. The Attorney General also has appealed to several exclusive boys schools to take in boys from the reiormatory on scholarships. The plan is to withhold their identity, but give them the same break as boys who came from more forum ate environments The first young ster to enter such school under this plan is now receiving private tutorship at the reformatory, and will be quietly admitted to the school this autumn
 Note: Largely because of inn proper training at reformatories, three-fourths of Americas crimin- als started out as juvenile delin- quents and stuck to crime.

It takes a visitor to things in Alaska ana once in a while visitor gives out some very interesting information regarding this Territory and shows how others Us
 For instance Walter E. Mitchell Vice President and Manager of the Alaska Department of the Ma tional Bank of Commerce in Seattle, has returned south from an extensive two-month tour through the Territory and he reports prospects for sound and increasingly rapid development of Alaska appears brighter now than before He travelled more than 5000 miles and visited major settlements in all sections of this Territory.
 Current projects and proposed government ex- nenditures that seem certain" said Mitchell, should provide the foundation for healthy stabilized eco- nomv for Alaska All this will open new fields for settlement business and tourist trade.
 He cautioned however that no one should plan to move to Alaska now unless he knows what he IS going to and has job and place to stay
 Mitchell was impressed by the proposed develop ments of civilian as well military activities Some of the non military work already is under way, with many sizeable contracts expected to be let soon for improvement of Alaska Railroad highways civilian air fields public and government facilities and com muicaton services Funds for of these activities were provided by Congress in June
 The proposed private development of large pulp mills has aroused much enthusiasm in Southeast Alaska said Mitchell Timber resources for making pulp are sufficient for many years of large scale operations there growing population is encouraging for de- velopment the west and in the interior he concluded
