"OW can you and - average. individual

problems, the new and heavy sacrifice,
the severe tests of another major national
emergency?
A cynic might answer, What choice do
we have?"
A man of faith would reply, Patriotism

Patriotism? But that word has been so
abused, so coated with sticky molasses, so
filled with hot air. Does it have any real
meaning at all, and, if so, what?
The orators, with their exhortations,
always turn patriotism into things we ought
10 do, or ,oe'd better do, for somebody else.
Let's see what patriotism does for US -
what it has to give us, what source of inner
strength it is, how it girds us for~the job
ahead forti6es us with happier heart.

The Love Of Country
HE scientists who study people tell us
that patriotism, which they define as love
of country, is an innate thing. We are born
with it, as we are born with eyes and appe-
tites This is not love of a political party or
regime, but the basic, virtually instructive
love of soil, earth, home, native land. Psy-

WHAT far cry it is from this Deep UNI

born into all of us. to the sophisticated sur
face of our conscious behavior
We've become so sophisticated, we're
afraid to be patriotic" Irving Berlin re-

embarrassing word. We have to apologize
when we say something nice about America,
for fear someone will say we're mushy."

compared our reticence in openly, warmly
and spontaneously expressing love for our
country to the very same reticence in ex-
pressing love for our friends.
Only II our friends are very SICK IN the

Then we say mushy, sentimental things"
said Berlin. He himself waited 20 years
after writing God Bless America" before
daring to publish it. He was afraid it was
too sticky and sentimental for the public -
until America, like hospitalized friend. was
running the incipient fevers of World War II.
In an age of wisecracks, when there is
certain social risk in being sincere or ideal
istic, it is natural that love of country should
be hidden under bushel, just as love of God
is often concealed.

One of his first jobs around Juneau was the en- Fgineering on the Wioughby Avenue fill and another monument to the young engineer is the Douglas bridge He was resident engineer in charge of the Gastineau Channel span when it built in 1884 and 1935-and he was only 25 years old.
 Since then, he has built most of the steel high way bridges in Aaska-a of the bridges built by the Alaska Road Commission before the army took over highway construction in the Territory.
 If he had not been exceptional engineer in his own right, Ike Taylor, for many years head of the Alaska Road Commission, would have made him one Most of his professional training under MT Taylor. who resigned in 1850 after more than 30 years with the ARC; and there could have been no better teacher Mir Taylor, all who know and can judge his work agree, without peer. And young Ghiglione was an exceptional pupil.
 He was in charge of surveying the Glenn Highway when World War II started and he was called into the navy That meant transferring from engineering for the Road Commission to the U s. Naval Reserve Engineer Corps As officer in charge of cost-plus- fixedfee contracts work aggregatng s1OOOoOOoO under his supervision As contract superintendent for the 18th Naval District he received navy commenda- ton for services on construction of the Naval Station in the Smith Cove area of Seattle. His rank was commander at wars end He is now commanding officer of the Juneau Naval Reserve Unit
 One can size up MT Ghigliones character by the bridges he has built He is man of stature and integrity as sturdy the structures he has engineered
 He has been a member of the Alaska Territorial Board of Architects and Engineers Examiners since 1e3e He is chairman of the American Society of Engineers joint committee on snow ice and perma- frost and is a member of the Arctic Institute of America. &e@ G5
 His profession has had most of his attention but he has taken time for activities in civic affairs He is a member of Rotary, the Juneau Chamber of Commerce Toastmasters-and an honorary member of the Chamber of Commerce in Anchorage where the Ghiglione family lived for several years
 His father the late Dr. A. J. Ghiglone, was one of Seattles foremost physicians and surgeons until his death few years ago and at one time Italian consul in Seattle.
 The younger Ghglione, like his father before him. is a student, and know that Dr. Ghigione would be proud of his sons promotion.
 The Empire congratuates MT. Ghiglone - and the Alaska Road Commission
 We hope he will continue to build bridges in Alaska for long, long time.

ing Secretary Mathews and the late Admiral Forrest Sherman may go to pot.
 Both Matthews and Sherman played ball with the Army and Air Force, and the two rival ser vices hope it will be the same un- der Kimball.
 However, they can't help but remember how Cedric Worth, op- erating under the protection of
 Kimballs office two years ago
 tried to cut the heart outnof the Army and Air Force.
 Worth was revealed as the spreader of a poison propaganda memo claiming that Secretary of Air Sympington ordered the B-36 bomber because of personal or monetary gain. This vicious myth was completely exploded.
 Meanwhile, a deluge of other propaganda, aimed chiefly at the Air Force, emanated from right under the. nose of Dan Kimball, then nder-Secretary of the Navy. Chief master-mind of this cam paign was Admiral Arthur Rad ford, now reported under consid- eration by Kimball to be chief of Naval operations.
 One incident indicating Rad- lords feeling toward the other armed services was his hiring of It. Sam Ingram, a naval reservist who wrote the Admiral a letter castigating the Air Force. Ingram immediately got a call from Rad- lord, who asked him to- drop in for a personal visit. The visit lasted two hours, and ended with Iigram's being placed on perm tanent duty to turn out charts and cartoons against the Air Force His salary for that year of snip ing at another branch of; the ser vice was paid for by the taxpayers So, now, you really can't blame the Air Force and Army for rais- ing their eyebrows at reports that the new Secretary of the Navy l wants to appoint Admiral Radforo to the top post in the Navy.

 Finally, the Tribune justified - its proposed tax benefits by sta ting that each day it carries a large number of classified help wanted ads, and, by so doing, il is, in effect, maintaining an active labor market in its columns, thus lfhelping the defense effort.
 What Col. Mccormick appar- ently forgot, however. was first his two long editorials warning newspapers not to become obliga- ted to the government.
 Second, he apparently forgot about the Chicago Tribune's rec ord in printing the entire secret mobilization plan of the U. s. Ar my one day before Pearl Harbor and later printing information about the battle of Midway which according to the Navy, tipped off % the Japanese that we were break ing their secret code. A special grand jury was called to prose- cute the Tribune, but the action was later abandoned.
