A small figurine, apparently of Oriental origin, was picked up on the beach at Long Island a few weeks ago by Stephen Anderson and has created a great deal of local interest and speculation. Anderson is employed at the Po- lar Bear.
 Edward l. Kelthahn, curator and librarian of the Juneau Mu- scum, thinks the 6gurine depicts a Chinese figure but actually carved by the Japanese,
 keithahn has also written to Jimmy Martz, wh, sent the fig ure to him, that it's finding he e supp rts his theory that such ii gu.es have frequently been washed to thsse shores by the current from the orient and that perhaps they provided the origin al idea for Alaskan Indian totem poles

Dry Weather Brings
On Fire Hazard

Range grass and other vegeta-
tion is maturing nearly two
weeks earlier than usual because
of hot, dry weather, and the time
is already here to protect ranges
and feed supplies against fire.
Careless disposal of cigarettes
and other smoking materials,
failure to put out camp and pic
mic fires and promiscuous burning
of weeds and trash can be costly
this year when feed supplies are
none too plentiful.
Counties that have an active
rural fire control organization
that is well equipped and trained
can offer the best insurance in
safeguarding supplies of grass
and hay.
Another effective tool in fire
prevention is the closed season
provision of the state rural fire
control law. Under this provi-
sion a permit must be obtained
from the county commissioners
before any weeds, trash or stub
Bile may be burned. Counties
where this provision was invoked
during the dry period this spring
discovered its value in reducing
the number of fires.

kussie Males
Said TO Wow
American Girls


graduate Of Hunter college in New
York who married a New Zealandel
but has lived in Australia since
1941 says Australian men r bet
ter bets-as bachelors or husbands
than American men.
She is Mrs. Violet Colbert, who
was born at land always moved
back to" New Rochelle, N. Y.
She said American girls go
for Australian men.
Mrs. Colbert wrote "In Defense
of the Australian Male" under the
name of Carol Coleman in the
Melbourne national fortnightly,
Woman's Day.
The wife Of a corset and bras
siere factory manager in Mel
bourne, she said in an interview
that she formed her opinion of the
United States male in four years
spent getting her B.A. degree from
Hunter college.
She met her husband aboard the
Matson liner Monterey coming to
Australia, worked as a dietician in
the Melbourne Alfred hospital for
six months, then married.
Often Surprised"
1.-THE Australian male" S h e
wrote, 'is often surprised, pleased
and flattered by his success abroad.
When he gets back home he is full
of his glory and fond of telling the
lass next door that she doesn't ap-
preciate him the way American
girls did.
why do American girls go
for Australian men? Why does
the local product look so good
away from home? Let me go right
on the record, please, and maintain
that it looks all right on its own
home ground.
"You Australian girls who are
fed on dazzling Hollywood versions
of American womanhood and who
recently were awed and blinded by
American uniforms and wealth,
lend an ear TO one who speaks
straight from the heart. You always
take an Australian male any time
or place, always.
Why? Because he has no line;
because he's not messed up and
hedged in by fraternities. Because
he doesn't suffer from a surfeit of
sophistication.
Every American male is con-
that his line is unique, dew
astating and sure-fire. and that it
effectively DISCUSSES the inner wolf.
Attitude Of Conceit
This bespeaks an attitude of
,onceit in the America male. and
hat is why Australian men are
,etter bets-as bachelors or hus-
lands. The American man expects
o hunt, or to be hunted, while there
