Effects of Perfumes

Are watches sensitive to smells,
particularly perfumes? Swiss
watchmakers think they are, and
are now studying the problem,
It has been established in incom-
plete laboratory tests that some
perfumes increase friction of a
balance wheel as much as so per
cent. The scent of a fresh rose,
faint to human nostrils, is partic-
ularly strong in influencing
watches. So don't pick that rose

 That the entire project was accomplished with a No. shovel, ordinary miners pick, few sticks of dynamite and Ann's hands is notable in this day of budozers, steamshovels, draglines and dump trucks And much of the wark was done before and after Ann's hours of duty City Librarian
 None of this in anyway indicates the love which all who know her feel for Ann Coleman
 Her modest acceptance of her award from the Soroptimists could be expected Her surprise when chosen as the in Juneau who had done most for the community genuine What she had done the little private good things well the larger accompishments-had all been incidental to her wish to be just good citizen"

FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE

The Soroptimsts Award to Juneau woman for Mertorous Service to the Community made last week to Miss Ann Coleman cannot be allowed to pass with out further comment from the press
 Ann Coeman's contributions to Juneau have been many during the 37 years she has lived in the north
 Perhaps the most notable-at least the one with which Juneauites are most famar-was her garden in the Scatter tract.
 This she started in the autumn of 1914 She had been living in hotel and longed for gardens and beauty which Juneau with parks, did not afford. She wanted to do something herself to the of defacement Juneau's natural beauty. Trees had been cut down and mining operations scared the hill sides.
 Ann's dream of garden first showed signs of maeralizing when she able to acquire acreage in the Scatter tract far of town, those days, rocky inaccessible mountain side.
 The first year her dream came true with three foot by five-oot plot In that small space she had lawn and flower bed. As years progressed her hill side garden became showplace, and its size grew from the small 3x5-foot space to beautifully planned garden of lawns and flowers, shrubs and evergreens

"Driyer of the Year"

Lloyd Reisner, 37-year-old truck driver of Indianapolis, was as cool and collected as you would expect the Driver of the Year" to be when he was congratulated by President Truman for his highway safety feats.
 Truman himself seemed to get bigger thrill than the truck driver as Reisner told of saving little girls life on a highway near Louis vile, Ky
 Our highways are becoming safer every year" remarked Truman, and we have men like you to thank for it."
 Before departing, Reisner got a prized Presidential autograph for a nine-year-old Indianapolis neigh bor, John Truman Harmon-no re- lation to the President.
 You're making a lifelong Dem ocrat out of this boy" grinned Reisner as Truman inscribed a personal card for the youngster. With a second name like that, he ought to be- quipped the Pres ident.

ROugh-and- Tumble Weep


 You can't beat Alben Barkley when it comes to rough-and- -tum- ble debate or after dinner speeches. The other day in Chicago, Bark ley pulled near-miracle. The occasion was the big Democratic rally honoring Thomas Jefferson just before President Truman ar rived from the West. The dinner was poorly handled. The toast master forgot to introduce Post master General Donaldson and Secretary of the Navy Matthews. Jack Arvey staged a show of dan cling girls from Chez Paris, while in contrast motherly Congress- woman Mary Norton of New Jersey droned out a 30-minute speech.
 By this time it was nearly mid night, the honor-guest table was almost empty, and the audience was ready to go home. But Bark ley was still to be heard from.
 Most speakers would have been too discouraged to start. But the Vice President got to the point of what other speakers had ig- nored-the real story of Thomas Jefferson. He described the details of his life, his influence on the nation, and did it in such a way that the tired and milling audience actually listened.

THE SAME OLD CROWD

Back in 1946, Senator Burton K Wheeler ran for reelection to the United States Senate from the state of Montana. Nobody doubted that he would be reelected. Sen ator Wheeler had had an out standing career. He had served in the Senate 24 years, He was known as liberal; had even been close to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had wanted him to run with him as Vice. President.
 It soon developed that it was not going to be so easy for Senator Wheeler. Something nasty had come into the state of Montana A filthy biography about Senator Wheeler came upon the scene something so disgusting that it was unbelievable. He was smeared all over the state. Vast sums of money were hurled at him.
 Senator Wheeler's crime was that ms pOSlllOI OH WOIlu war II was not the one that a New York group of internationafists favored The fact that, in 1850, it is pos sible to say that the preponder- ance of evidence shows that much that Senator Wheeler had said about what the war would do to the United States and to the world has turned out to be correct, of course did not matter in that campaign Wheeler was defeated.

Absent Congressman

This column, leaning backward to Congressman Thurmond Chat ham of North Carolina, recently explained his prolonged absence record from Congress by the fact that his wife had passed away 10 months ago and he had not been able to concentrate on his work.
 That explanation may have been overly generous. Since then, it has been learned that Congressman Chatham's absence has been partly due to House parties at his Curri- tuck Sound cottage.
 Two weeks ago, furthermore, he brought Mrs John T. Barnes, Jr wife of Reynolds tobacco official to the Baptist Hospital at Winston Salem at 2:30 am, May g, with a severe gash at the base of hel skull. Mrs. Barnes, 35 years old and prominent socialite, was suffering from loss of blood. MT Barnes arrived at the hospital at 5 am.
 Hospital authorities, nurses anc internes flatly refused to discuss the incident, but Congressman Chatham, when queried, said that Mrs. Barnes had been dining, witt others, on his terrace, had caught her dress in a chair and fallen hitting her head against a marble wall.
 We are delighted to accept the Congressman's story, but it should also be noted that his prolonged

Back in Juneau after an absence of 10 years, Mrs. Kenneth K. Kyler, the former Edith Messerschmidt- Bavard, arrived on the Princess Louise Tuesday and will spend about two months visiting her friends and relatives here.
 She will be joined soon by her husband who stopped in Ketchikan on his way north. The KylerS are bringing their car and will drive through Alaska to Anchorage be- fore going south over the Alcan Highway.
 Since they left Juneau twelve years ago, MT. and Mrs. Kyler have been living in Santa Monica, Cali fornia, where MT. Kyler is a real estate broker.
 Mrs. Kyler, tanned from Califor- nia's sun, looks well and is pleased to be in Juneau again. She is vis- iting at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Shaw.

chairman; Westmore Wilcox, Jr.
 Treasurer; Arthur J. Goldsmith
 secretary.
 This committee has issued a cir
 cular which states:
 Tn 1946 we played major part
 in defeating Senator Wheeler of
 Montana, leader of the extreme
 isolationist bloc, and in 1948 we
 were mainly instrumental in de- feating Senator Revercomb of West Virginia, leader of the ex-
 treme reactionary group
 None of these gentlemen is a citizen of Montana, so far as 1 can learn. They are not citizens ] of West Virginia, which Senator Revercomb represented. They head a committe which consists princi- pally of New Workers. They raise money to influence elections out side of New York state. In this same circular, they in- dicate that they plan to invade Nevada to effect the defeat of Senator Pat McCaran. It says: Tn Nevada Senator McCaran is seeking re-election-he was primar- lilly responsible for obstructing equi- table legislation for the admission of Displaced Persons"
 also want to quote the end of the circular:
 Alone. you can do little; witn others of like views, you can do much. Through the Committee on National Affairs you can help ef- fectively to determine the charac- ter of the next Senate.
 We need your support so that we can help elect the kind of Senator that you want-please send us a contribution today" Of course, these people can do as they please, but their operation is antagonistic to every theory of American government.
 The United States Senate con- sists of two representatives from each state. The senators used to be elected by the legislators of each state. By adoption of the l7th Amendment to the Constitution in 1913, senators are to be elected directly by the people of each state. Senators are not elected nation ally but in each state. Citizens of ! New York obviously cannot vote
 in Montana or.sWest .Wrttaia or
 Nevada. It is not intended that they should have any infIuepce ln those states. It is intended that i the people of each state should be
 completely unhanpered i1 their own choice.
 However, if huge sums of money,
 directly or indirectly, are poured
 into states from New York to in- fluence every election, it could
 come to pass that unless can
 didate satisfied this committee ol some other committee in New York
 all members of the Senate would be representatives, not of their states but of New York or any other pressure groups.
 Of course, this is an extreme
 statement of the case, for none o1 these committees are as important
 as they were during the war anc
 immediately after. The public i.
 growing bit weary of all this
 meddling in other peoples business
 and contributions are not as plenti.
 full as they used to be.
 Nevertheless, the theory ought te
 be restated that each state in tht i United States is, by the Constitu'
 tion, sovereign and that the people of each state have the right tt select their own representative
 without the consent of the Com mittee on National Affairs" 0 New York City.

Why Not Whip Them?
CPrince Rupert Daily News


 Large numbers of Doukhobors have already been sentenced to prison following the recent outbreaks of incendiarism and nudism by the Sons of Freedom in the West Kootenay colonies The jas already full of them and will have to be incarcerated And still the outrages go with the latest incident the serious matter of the blowing up of railway bridge So the vexed problem is still unsolved with Jail1ng the perpetrators obviously not the answer.
 Hope had been expressed that some means of de- portaton might rid the province of these incorrgibe people who have lost all public sympathy. But where to send them is the question. It is hard to imagine any country that would welcome them-not even their native Russia where of course their gongs-on would be given short shrift, if liquidation were the recourse
 Harsher punishment than jailing is evidently re- quired Maybe some sort of corporal punishment may be the answer. We have been patient long enough. If an ordinary thug blew up a railway bridge he would not get off with mere two or three years imprisonment. There is on reason why a Sons Of Freedom should be treated better than any one else. It is difficult by what of reasoning they should rate any further toeration or patience.

heCIoy Tells Germans
TO Act on Defense
By The A,soeio,ed Pres,

HAMBURG. Germany. Nov. 25.
American High Commissioner
John J. McCloy told the German
people today "there is no longer
time for equiyocation or inde-
cision" on the question of a Ger
man contribution to the defense
of Europe.
Mr.. McCloy declared. however,
that the United States will not
try to buy or coerce German help.
The German people must decide
for themselves If they will par
ticipate in Europes defense. he
said in an address prepared for a
meeting of labor leaders and trade
union members.
The high commissioners re-
marks were apparently in answer
to Socialist attempts to set a high
price for German participation in
the projected North Atlantic de-
fense force.
His address underscored Amer
ican concern over the mounting
campaign in Western Germany
against. German rearmament to
help the West.
Political forces oposing German
rearmament were strengthened
this week by election victories OF
the anti-rearmament Socialists ir
two American zone states. The
Socialists also have carried theil
fight against rearmament into Ba-
varia, which elects . new state
parliament tomorrow.

United States Embassy announced
today that Ambassador Henry F.
Grady is being recalled to Wash
ington for routine consultations
and will take a plane tomorrow
Informed sources said the real
purpose is to give Mr.. Grady a
chance to make a firsthand report
to the State Department on the
decline Of American prestige and
the rise Of pro-Soviet sentiment
in Iran. Mr.. Grady will spend
about three weeks in Washington.
He is expected to press for
speedy action to complete $25
on-Export- Import bank loan
to Iran, on which negotiations
have been dragging since July.
One Of the biggest reasons for
criticism Of the United States in
the Iranian press and Parliament
has been the delay in extending
American aid.
