For Johnny GO-Fast

Silver-jointed tricycles and little

the frames are stuck together with
silver. Silver brazing alloys have
been called hard soldiers" Melted
at relatively low temperatures, they
flow almost like water Capillary ac-
tion pulls the binding fluid in be-
tween the most closely matched
surfaces and into the slightest ca
witty. And this kind Of solder is so
strong that a film Of a thousandth
Of an inch or less is enough to bind
joints which have a strength Sec
ond only to welding.

In loving memory of my dear

Five years have slowly passed

Her firm true heart is still.
The hand that always gave me

Now lies in deaths cold chill.
Her life was a life of service,
So patient, humble and kind.
You shall never be forgotten
Never shall your memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts will always

Around the grave where you are
laid.
Sadly missed by her husband,

 Rep. Frank Angerman, Fairbanks machinist and Democrat, said he opposed confirmation because the Governor influenced Legislators im- properly. Senator Malone, Nevada Republican, asked Angerman if he was unaware the. President writes a program for Congress and insists on passage Senators smiled when Angerman replied.

GOVERNOR PRAISES 18TH LEGISLATURE
 FOR ACHIEVEMENT

Governor Ernest Gruening, in message released today, declared the 18th Territorial Legislature to be the best in the Territory's history.
 "I believe that the verdict of history will support my conten- tion here and now that this has been the best Legislature that Alaska has ever had" the Cover nor said For it's accomplish ment has been tremendous and it's work of a high order of excellence. By its actions it has written the first page in a new chapter in Alaska's forward march"
 The Governor said his conten- tion was supported by Senator Andrew Nedland, whom he de- scribed as "the senior statesman of Alaska" He quoted Senator Nerland as saying, This session did what eighteen previous ses- sions had been unable to do." Neriand served 12 sessions in the Legislature, with only occasional intermissions since 1917.
 Governor Gruening lauded the Legislature for its passage of the basic tax program which he has
 long advocated-net income tax, property tax and uniform business license tax. He said the lawmakers had balanced the Territorial bud get which has been out of bal ance for two years. He said the estimated income under the new tax program would be $18,555,OO0,
 sufficient to balance the budget and to meet appropriations total ling s17,279,079."
 "The 18th Legislature has set the Territorial house in order, said the Chief Executive" and has demonstrated that the people of Alaska are fit and ready for statehood. He described its ac- tions as a victory for democracy; a clear-eut demonstration of gov ernment by consent of the govern ed. which will endure as long as men who are free are determined to remain free"
