SPORTSMEN ASK UNION
 WITH RIFLE CLUB

named chairman of the refresh ment committee for the clubs May meeting.
 At the close of the business meeting Holger Larson of the Anchorage office of the Fish and Wildlife Service addressed the group briefly on conservation. He pointed out that conserva- tion was not a problem of the FWS, but was the responsibility of every interested Alaskan.
 'The game doesn't belong to us, as some of you seem to think, :" he said. Tt belongs to you and it's up to you to help us take care of it. Contrary to what most people think, there is less game in the territory of Alaska than anywhere in the United States. But there's plenty here if it is controlled and managed properly"
 The FWS official called for proper education of younger hunters and of those new to the territory. He said club members could best cooperate with the service by talking with the of fender when minor violations are observed, and attempting to in- terest the law-breaker in proper conservation methods.
 MT. Larsen concluded the evening by showing four reels of wild life movies, one of them dealing with the rare sea otter. This movie, taken in the region of Shemya on the Chain, took IT days to film.

A Few Words To The Wise
Sponsored by the Valley Minis terial Association)
 BY RAY GATHER

As we come to the close of the day with the hours of the night approaching and we sit in an old armchair, relaxed and resting after the toll, let us live again the moments and hours we have just passed through. As we think back, let us ask ourselves this most important question:: Have 1 helped someone today?"
 The hours in the office dragged slowly. The weather outside was so nice-so many fish in the lakes that are yet to be caught, so many games not yet played. People came and went. Business was brief and to the point. Per haps was a bit impatient at times? Have I helped someone today?"
 The businessman's day was busy. Customers were many, sales were large. The cash re- ceipts at the end of the day show a handsome profit. Have I help ed someone today?"
 The teacher in school h a d trials, no doubt. The children were noisy. Some were disobedi- ent, others are behind in their classes. It's Teacher, what's this?' and Teacher, how do you do that?' How much they de- pend on teacher. Have helped someone today?"
 The mothers cares are many. Meals to cook, socks to mend, noses to wipe and floors to scrub. Mamma, what makes the flowers bloom - how do bees make honey?' Such simple questions and yet the answer means so much to the little one. Mother, as you think back, Have I help ed someone today?"
 Even the pastor has trials un- told. His flock must be cared for and new ones brought into the fold. AS he rests at the end of his day, his thoughts retrace: The man he saw in the gutter; the one discouraged; the sick; the needy. How can they be helped?
 What can be done to better civic life? To encourage young people and lead them to God? We need a new organ. The fuel bill is due and we must make repairs to the building, but
 Have 1 helped someone to- day?"

Few Believe Soviets

By Yves Gallagher

BERLIN, July 3.-Are the Rus.
slams willing to risk war in theil
drive to force the Western Allies
from Berlin?
Despite the serious situation ir
this Soviet blockaded city, the virtu.
ally unanimous answer to this ques-
ton is no"
There is every indication the
Soviets would give up their present
effort in the face of a united west
ern opposition that convinced them
force would be necessary to carry
out their aims.
The conviction the Soviets will
not risk a war to achieve their ends
stems from the methods they have
used.
Quick Retreat Possible.
Each move they have made has
left a method for a quick retreat
without loss of face. There have
been no ultimatums in their stran-
SllnS OF Ine Guy.
! In halting the railroads the Soviets
stated this was done because the
line to Berlin needed repairs ano
alternate routes were too busy. The
motor highway to Berlin was closeo
on the pretense it was necessary tc
stop worthless western marks" from
flooding the east zone during cur
rency revision. These emergencies
could be found ended overnight.
The Russians have never stated
the routes were closed forever.

No further retaliatory moves are

manders. They have cut of all
supplies to the Soviet zone from
Western Germany, but these can
not be decisive.
Soviet losses through this retalia-
tory action cannot be compared with
the enormous prestige they would
have by forcing the western powers
to give up their rights in Berlin and
abandon 100000 Germans they
have promised to protect.
Any action to be taken to break
the Soviet blockade must be led by
the United States. Neither France
nor Britain is strong enough to in

ter what they do or say.
Even if the gigantic British
American air effort to supply the
