 The vacant wn, ,w oG oi the 2'-~oay-old City nail are looking sadly at Juneau these days ss sal vaging operations are underway by a city crew. Scon the old building will be just a memory when dem- oition is completed to make way for the new Alaska Office Build ing.
 The City Hall building was the outgrowth of a twinkle in the eyes of city library committee on July l, 1913. The twinkle spread to the volunteer firemen who joined for ces for the purpose of erecting a
 building to house the library and the fire department.
 On August 16 of the same year, the City council caught the spirit and decided to build a city hall The next day City Engineer B. D. Blakeslee had crew wrecking the old jail which stood on the corner of Fourth and Main Streets and started excavation while architect Richard Wulzen drew up plans.
 There was no fooling around. Concrete was poured for the foun- dation on September 8 and con- struction started 12 days later. On November 22 the lire department, city offices and library moved in. All work was done under the dir ection of the city engineer.
 Crowded conditions in the schools were as acute in 1913 as in 1851 and part of the Juneau Public School moved into the upstairs of Ithe new hall until a new school building could be built. About 50 pupils, of the 249 in the schools then, pursued their studies in the new building which was rated "one of the finest buildings in the city and cost about S20,000.
 Lester D. Henderson was city superintendent of schools then Crystal Jenne recalled today He later became the first commis- sioner -of education for the Terri tory.

writer is convinced that there is no way out or around or through the impasse. It is the end"
 s' That was in those early post war days when there was nothing g more alarming than the Atomic Bomb. Today, with no secrets to secure us, the dread Hydrogen Bomb knocks at our door. We have accepted its implications with a strange, suppressed fear. No less man than Dr. AL bert Einstein warns us it is entirely possible that the Hy- drogen Bomb can cause the "annihilatiOn of any life on earth" And other scientists and realistic thinkers concur.
 A time to be afraid?
 One who lived nearly two mil lenniums ago, sighting down the corridors of time, saw that in these last days there would be anguish among the nations ...; mems hearts fainting for fear, and for apprehension of what is coming on the world. For the forces which control the heavens will be disordered." Luke 21:25, 26 (Weymouth).
 And what do you make of this: "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." II Peter 3;10.
 A time to be afraid? Yes and no. If your hope is in this earth and in human strength and wis., dom, Yes. If your
