WELCOME TO HIGHLANDS

The Highlands is now part of Juneau, to enjoy all the protection and advantages of the metropolitan of Gastneau Channel This distinction was won yes terday in the annexation election almost by walk away.
 Year. years ago, down on Puget Sound, there was rivalry between Seattle and Tacoma and the latter used the slogan Watch Tacoma Grow" Now watch Juneau grow and eventually, maybe Juneaus gloWth will extend to various sections along the highway We must remember that Los Angeles keeps growing, pos sihly not by annexation but by claims and the boundaries of that California metropolis are now re- ported to be from Lower California to the California Oregon border.
 Just watch Juneau grow.

BY GRACE 0. MAZERIs

The weather being deep in win ter has halted we of Cannery Row from our work. But newspapers and radio tell of outside workers who are really suffering far more hardships than we of Wrangell.
 The unemployment office was busy Monday with pickers signing up for unemployment pay-all of us regretting, of course, as we would far rather be picking. But thanks be for living in a country that takes care of its workers in times such as these. And our gen eral health is good. I've heard of no cases of pneumonia or the virus flu of which We hear so much out side. Our merchants are tolerant, knowing full well that spring and summer will give Us our full pay checks again.
 A letter from a friend at the University of Washington says. quote Has yours truly begged down? have the sentinel each week and did enjoy those rhap- sodies of yours, viz: Stars, moon, mountains and clouds. What goes on? Has the scenery changed? I'm sure you've not said 1t all. Come on, give. It helps me in my brag- ging about Wrangell to fellows here who have never seen like you and l have those beautiful morn ings." I wrote a short answer thanking for the letter but simply excused myself by two words: "It's winter" Then I thought of the song and added these lines from 1t.

 Goodbye rose,
 Autumn leaves have fallen;
 Winter blows her trumpet from

This week is National Dog Week. According to
bulletin from the National Dog Welfare Guild with head
quarters in New York. the nations organized dog lovers
trying to bring about better understanding be-
tween mankind and his traditional friend the dog :"
The Guilds detectives for the week are: A good
home for every dog; elimination of stray dogs from
the Streets better informed dog owners consideration
for dogs and all animals; emphasis Of the dogs
companion and protector fair laws for dogs and dog
owner; respect for the rights of non-dog owners

founded-is Laurtz Mechoir, the singer, to whom his
Dog Week subordnates refer to'as "The Great Dane.
Betty Schroeder, of Gaithersburg, a great animal
lover reminds Dogs should be schooled in the social
graces and show respect for the rights of humans Pups
like children, be taught to be socially pleasing with
the family or with company. Like many parents, dog
many times indulge and lavish affection on
a pet, ignoring discipline.
No guest feels comfortable with muddy paw wiped
his best suit guest enjoys the most elaborate meal
with dog continually begging every morse carried to
his mouth. Towser is not welcomed by the hostess
when she knows both the dog and the guest will occupy
the guestroom bed
Perhaps the shoe is the other foot Why do
many parents allow a small boy girl to torture pet?
Many times dog bites child after provocation,
only to be condemned to death by rate and unfair
parent.
Mrs Gladys S. Diaz of Pasadena Calf, worldwide
dog authority, gives tips the social education
of your dog:
do not overestmate your dogs ability at his age to
adjust socially AZ dog is not grown up for or years
Until to months experts do not attempt intensive
training. haf-grown dog is "teen-ager," subject
to sudden changes and occasional reversal to childish
tricks. As dogs grow older they become less adjust
able more nervous and demanding. By the time they
reach the rocking chair age you might have to humor
them with the extra-thoughtful courtesy which is the
social due of elders"

The American Indian

day of this week has been set aside in tribute to
the American Indian. OF the thousands of men and
who lived in the virgin forest of North America
only 900 left in the 800 tribes in this country
Americans greatly shocked when comes from
abroad of invader pushing the natives from the land
and burning homes and cities. Our Pilgrim Fathers
who crossed the unchartered Atlantic to make
home and worship as they pleased courageous
However how did they make their peace with God when
they pushed the Indian from his home, gave him fire
water and ammunition with which to fight other white
men?
According to the present day usage of the word
we are native Americans. True our forefathers
signed the Declaration of Independence-but we
native" Americans, the true natives living
reservations provided for them by government?
