COMMUNITY BUILDING FUND FOR COAST GUARD
 HEADQUARTERS $170,000

Investments in the Community Building Corporations proposed building for the Coast Guard head quarters have reached $170,000, ac- cording to Keith G. Wildes, com mittee member who is soliciting downtown business firms.
 Time is short and it is hoped the corporations total of $300,000 will be reached within the next few days, Wildes said.
 Committee members are pretty happy over passing the halfway mark and are aiming at S200,000 before the week is over.
 Total cost of lot and completed building will be $350,000, but in- vestment in the firm for one year will be confined to $300,000.
 Committee members working on the community project are George A. Parks, J. A. Mclean, N. C.. Banfield, Wallis s. George, J. S. MacKinnon, Harold B. Foss and Wildes.
 Every penny invested in the building which will bring the Coast Guard to Juneau is protection for past and present investments in the town,' Wildes said today. An investment in the community building is an investment in Ju- neau, is the way I feel about it myself"

"PARIS! PARIS! There's no
place in the world like it," Those
words were sung around the globe
after the first World War, and
now those men who saw Paris
during World War II r singing
"Gay Paree" louder than ever.
What makes Paris so fine? Why
are Americans, both white and
black, willing to give up their U.
S. citizenship to live, died, and
rot in France? These r $64
questions, l know. but somewhere
within the city limits Of Paris
these questions can be answered.
In an effort to learn the rea-
sons behind these decisions, I
have talked with many Americans
in France. Most of those I talked
with guarded their answers very
carefully, because they said they
were afraid of being misquoted,
and thereby automatically showed
on the investigation list. How
ever, many did give a little in
formation after I promised not to
use their names.

not specifically, say why 1 gave
