The G,adGs Roeee4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

By Mildred klrkpatrIck
 A note of Encouragement, of stalemate was brought into the meeting of the Civil Defense Committee Sunday night by Col. Alexander, Chief of Civil De- fense for the Territory.
 In the States, funds are pro- vided by each state for carrying out the work of preparing and rehabilitating communities in case of attack by an armed ag- gressor. In Alaska, NO FUNDS have been provided, either by the Congress, Territory or any Federal agency. No assistance can be expected from the mili- tary, as all forces would be occu- pied in defending the Territory and the homeland against az gression.
 It remains then, for each indi- vidual community to do what it can for itself. On second thought, that may be best anyhow. Alas ka and Alaskans have always been left to look out for them selves. We are a hardy and re- sourceful people, each feeling entirely capable of taking care of his own. Probably this is no time to let down our guard and admit our weakness by crying for help.
 There is no use kidding our selves. We are faced with the greatest danger that has ever confronted us. We cannot afford to hide behind the security inn piled in the small word eff" IF we are attacked, it will be too late to learn, too late to practice, too late to prepare.
 The ugly truth is that the very name Civil Defense" is erroneous. We cannot defend ourselves. That must be left to the military whose business it is to defend the Territory. All we can do is prepare in some measure to alleviate suf- fering. We must be prepared to take care of the sick and in- jured, to feed ourselves, to fight fires-possibly to accept bare existence until we can once again get back on our feet.
 We are deliberately deceiving ourselves, and blinding one an- other to the ugly possibility of attack by our talk of business as usual, politics as usual. It is too late for politics as usual. Partisan politics must be set aside by the thinking man and only those whose integrity and sound judgment are positive qualities put in office to see us through the coming difficulty.
 We must prepare for the worst in the paradoxical hope that by preparation and condi- tioning the worst will not happen.
 I would not for the world attempt to excite or unduly alarm the people of Seward, but we must not sit behind false barrier of ''IF", assuming that we will never be called upon to resist aggression. We must accept the knowledge of war as a continuing condition and adjust our minds and lives ac- cordingly.
 This is serious matter and deserves your serious attention. When the Defense Committee publishes plans and instructions, if will he after long and detailed

study. Accept their advise, work with them for the safety and happiness of your family. Some of the directions may not meet with the approval of the entire populace, but they will be for the good of the whole, by the possible inconvenience of the few. I do not know what will come out of the deliberations of the Defense Committee, but it is not likely that 2000 people can be satisfied at the same time. Occasionally a seemingly ruthless measure will be enact ed. But we are not faced with the movie type invasion. When it comes to Alaska it will be real and we must face it now in order to endure it then.

BOTH ANNIVERSARY
 OBSERVED BY O. E. s.

Seward Chapter Order of Eastern Star celebrated the 30th anniversary of it's founding Mon- day night at the first fall meet ing of the Order.
 Past Matrons and Past Patrons were honored at the party as we'll as Robert Morris, founder of the Order.
 The chapter room and social hall were we'll filled with mem bers and guests. Because it was thought that most everybody in Alaska at the time of the founding of the Chapter must have arrived in the Territory either by ship or by plane, those were the motif of the decora- tions. Two members, however, objected on the grounds that the planners had left out one mode of travel that applied to them-the stork! Mrs. Sigrid Stearns and Mrs. Vernon Moore were Alaska born.
 Six past matrons were present and nine past patrons. Mrs. ElWyn SWetmann was the oldest past matron in point of service.
 An interesting bit was brought to light when it was discovered that Mrs. Beryl Wagner's grand mother was initiated personally by Robert Morris, founder of Eastern Star, when she was 16.

Squirrel Season
Few Days Away

Squirrel hunters! That time is
almost here again.
In just a few days Buckeye
nimrods will be taking to the
woods for the opening day of the
1850 squirrel hunting season. The
season will begin Sept. Is and ex-
tends through Sept: 80.
The Wildlife division wishes all
Ohio hunters highly successful
season. But in doing SO they also
remind prospective hunters to ex-
ercise courtesy and safety while
in persuit of the sport, in addi-
ton to abiding by the game laws
which prevail.
Safety is a must on the list for
all hunters. Safe and sane hand
ling or shooting of guns will save
many life this season. Each year
many Ohio hunters are killed or
mamimed by the misuse or care
less handling of firearms while
hunting, or preparing to hunt.
This year it is hoped that the
casualty list can be reduced
sharply.
Courtesy is another factor on
which many hunters do not place
the proper importance. Be courte-
Gus to your fellow hunter and
the farmer who has graciously ex-
tended the use of his woods or
field for the hunt.

With just four days to go,
things are beginning to take
shape so far as Marysville Highs
1850 football team is concerned.
Not that the problems facing
Coach Paul Wenzel when prac-
tice started three weeks ago have
been solved; they have been clar-
flied to the point where he knows
just what they are and what to
do about them within the limits
of the material available.
From this approach, Mr.. Wen
eel has pretty well decided what
his starting lineup will be, either
extensively or defensively, and
what boys he can count upon
most.
Little Reserve Strength
Primarily, the Coach's troubles
stem from lack of experience and
lack of reserve material The first
problem viii automatically solve
itself to a certain extent as the
season progresses. The second
will plague Mr., Wenzel and his
team all season long, because,
without enough boys, you just
haven't got enough, period.
What this lack of adequate re-
placements can involve is best
demonstrated with one example.
Suppose that Jimmy DeGood,
who will be No. / quarterback,
goes out of the game. Then
Charles McCracken would have
to be switched from his regular
end position TO replace Degood,
