A fellowship pot-luck supper was held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Elliot, Sunday, December IT. Following the supper slides depicting the Nativity scene, a program by the children, and the singing of Christmas Carols, the evening was rounded out by the exchange of gifts.
 The annual school Christmas program was given December 21. The school room was beautl- fully decorated in the Christmas theme. All of the children gave a poem about Christmas and the season. There were two plays on the program. The first was given by the smaller children and was about picking out a Christmas tree. The second play was given by the older children and was an adaptation from an English play and was very good, The rhythm band gave several selections. There was also a tableau of the manager scene and the singing of carols in the background, Santa put in an appearance at the close of the evening and distributed the gifts from under the tree.
 Among the visitors in Moose Pass over the holidays were: Mir. and Mrs, Willard Shelhorn of Anchorage, guests of Mir. and Mrs. Bill Estes; Mrs. King of Palmer, who was guest of MT. and Mrs. Lyle Saxton, and MT. and Mrs. Richard Jones of Anch- orage, guests of MT. and Mrs. Glenn Miller.

The C,adGe 2seGe4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

The Third Judicial Division, and particularly the city of An chorage, has lost a good friend and conscientious law enforce ment officer with the death of U. $. Marshal Paul C. Herring.
 MT. Herring made frequent trips to Seward, but was Withal transformations and unassuminS that few people knew of his visA it's. He never overstepped the authority vested in his deputies, in whom he placed perfect confi- dence, and left them alone to conduct their districts without Interference, unless they asked for his assistance. That one quail ity alone would d have been enough to endear him to his associates.
 His office, being located in the largest Territorial city, kept him occupied much of his time in the city. They will miss him.
 1t is said of him that even knowing that he could not get well, he remained cheerful, in deed, had to cheer up'' his doc tors and nurses.
 After his second operation for cancer that was taking his life was unsuccessful, he is said to have remarked, ''There'll be no taxes for me this year, and they have just raised them too" He quoted Will Rogers who said, T have made a study of history as far back as the beginning of man, and never found single instance where any man left this world alive MT. Herring said that he did not want to go, but that he was ready.
 Friends marvelled at his good spirits.
 MT. Herring was made mar shal of the Third Division May Is, 1949, upon the resignation O1 O ctIliCS I dllCi SOll II oiIl tiietb office. When he arrived in An chorage the police department of that city was undergoing revamping, and the city was mo- torious for it's crime record. He had the reputation of being adamant against any pressure from the underworld, gambling rings, or the granting of special priveleges to any group. Within a year and a half he had coordin- ated the local police, his office and federal law enforcement agencies into a smoothly work ing machine.
 We need more Paul Herrings. It is hoped that his successor will be chosen on his merits, and without the influence of politics. It would be tragic to destroy the good works of the marshal by appointing lesser man to succeed him

government and economics. In the summer of 1880 he attended University of Grenoble, France, and subsequently, the graduate schools of business administra- tion and arts and sciences at Harvard University, receiving AM. degree in 1884.
 After 10 years in the States, he returned to Alaska, in l943 as. president of the now National Bank of Alaska Upon his fath- CTS death in 1949 he became president or the Bank of Wran- gell.
 He is chairman of4he board of trustees of Kings Lake Camp, Inc, secretary-treasurer of the Loussac Foundation, chairman of the Planning Commission ot the City of Anchorage, and mem Der of Alaska Council 11th Re gional Executive Committee of Boy Scouts of America. He IS licensed pilot (priVate) and member of Civil Air Patrol.

House Passes Stripped-Down Control Bill

WASHINGTON, (FD = A strip ped-down economic controls bill, minus most of the added features President Truman wanted, was passed by the House early Sat- urday.
 The measure, extending wage, price and other controls for one year, now goes to a Senate-House conference committee to iron out differences between it and an eight-months extension voted by the Senate. On the whole, the two differed but little on several major points; none on a few.
 As the House bill finally emer- ged, it was patchwork of amend ments which appeared to satisfy neither Democrats nor Republi- cans entirely.
 Economic Stabilizer Eric John ston said the bill does not give consumers "the break they de- served"
 But administration House lead CTS conceded it might have been worse.
 The bill would:
 l. Allow a 20 per cent increase in rents over July, 1947 levels.
 2. Increase the pay-off time for both new and used cars, bought on the, installment plan, from Is to 21 months.
 3. Reduce down payments on household appliances from 25 to Is per cent and lengthen the pay off period from IS to IS months.
 4. Reduce down payments on household furniture and floor cov- erings from Is to 10 per cent, with q instead of Is months to pay.
 5. Allow homes costing up to $1O,000 to be bought with only a ten per cent down payment with 25 years ito pay off the mortgage.

a woman knows and appreciates what kindness that is-but it is not dramatiZed.
 Scenery, frontier life, weather, the sudden development, and military importance of Alaska, are all dramatic, and tend to make people living here consci- ous that the eyes of America are on the Territory. For that reason, if for no other, we really are living on a stage, and the con duct of individuals and groups is under scrutiny at all times. Anchorage receives probably more publicity from Outside pa pers, and persons passing thru, than any other area. In a few months, some of that publicity will effect Seward. Whether it is to be good or adverse, is in the hands of the residents of Sew ard. Right now, it could be noth- ing but good--can we keep 1t that way?

By Mildred Kirkpatrick

I read someplace in a descrip tion of Alaska and AlaSkanS that the country is dramatic, At first it seemed an odd word to use. but on second thought it does appear to be a very apt eXpres- sion.
 We are not too much interest ed in was news or what goes on in other parts of the world, eX- cept as it affects our lives here It all seems so far away. Our own small sphere is all impor- tant.
 For that reason, we are in- clined to dramatiZe the little things. For instance: I met a friend, who is an old time Alas kan, yesterday We said Good morning." than in the same breath, I continued with, Isn't this a beautiful day." At the same time, she said, Isn't this awful weather? Awful, awful"
 The weather is not a little thing-mighty important to us, in fact, but the way different people react to it, is interesting, even though the weather is be- yond control, by decree or wise Providence.
 Another person complained
