is obvious that a group OF strangers
suddenly forced into close relationship
and in building with which they may
be unfamiliar must need, at least, Suf-
ficient illumination to observe what is
happening. However, FCDA has never.
to my knowledge, given any heed to
this most important detail Of an alert
darkness. We, of the Second World
War period may well recall the extin-
guishment of all lights and the cutting
off of all power supply, resulting in
absolute darkness. Such conditions can
result in nothing short of panic-and
FCDA has no remedy for condition
of that sort. For years FCDA has
been importuned to give pause to
emergency lighting, such as has been
thoroughly explored in the New Eng
land States, following the Cocoanut
Grove fire. This form of protection is
general in localities in the North but
FCDA fails to grasp the Importance of
this first aid in power failure posi-
bilities. The one trouble with this fea-
ture is it's small cost; FCDA seems to
be interested only where big sums
can be asked for and spent.
Last of Boys in Blue
The press of the Nation on Novem-
ber 27 carried the sad but inevitable
news that Albert WoolSon of Duluth,
Mimi, is the last survivor of the Union
Army in the Civil War.
This last survivor of that magnificent
army of 2.675.00 men served his coun-
try under the immortal Lincoln and
offered his life, if needed, in the great
cause Of equal justice and freedom for
all our citizens and for the preserva-
ton Of this Republic. He was born
February IL, 1847 and enlisted in 1864
as drummer boy in the First Mime
young age Of II.
This last surviving Union soldier of
this most tragic, though perhaps the
most beneficial in its ultimate results,
of all our wars is now at the venerable
age of 106. Ere long, therefore, this
last hero of that mighty army which
preserved the Union will pass from our
midst and we will suddenly realize as
a Nation, perhaps with tears in our
eyes, that "the last leaf upon the tree"
has fallen to the ground forever.
Therefore, I suggest that upon the
death of Albert Woolson the flag be
flown at half-staff from all Federal
Government buildings, from all our mil
itary bases, posts and reservations. here
and abroad, and from all United States
ships, naval and merchantmen, where
ever they might be, for a period of
time appropriate for such an occasion
of national mourning in reverent honor
and grateful memory of him and the
millions of other young men who so
valiantly served this Republic during
its bloodiest and most bitterly fought
war.

ever attended. l had the honor
of appearing on the national dep

ter ruler, Nettie Carter Jackson,
in her queenly manner delivered
brilliant and touching address.
She recommended that all depu-
ties who have served over ten
years be given vote and voice for
life in the grand temple; that in
cluded your deputy, and as 1
looked around I repeated the
words of the psalmist: 1.-THE Lord
is on my side l shall not fear;
what can man do unto me?"
wish TO state that it is utter
~ false that daughter rulers can
serve only two years. That state
ment is unfounded. The grand
daughter ruler was given a two
year term and after the expira-
ton of two years she can run
again if she so desires.

Johnson Appointed Head for Air Guard

Announcement was made this week by the office of the Adjut- ant General, Alaska National Guard, of the appointment of Colonel Lars L. Johnson as Base Detachment Commander of the Alaska Air National Guard. He will remain acting Adjutant Gen eral pending appointment of his successor.
 Colonel Johnson was a form CT resident of Anchorage and has been a resident of Alaska since 1888.
 The allocation and organiza- tion of the 144th Fighter Bomber Squadron at Anchorage during the past year was almost entire ly due to the efforts put forth by Col. Johnson to obtain an Air National Guard for the Territory. Establishment of this unit, it is felt, will provide Alaska with a well trained, fully equipped tact ical air unit to augment the de- fense forces of the territory.

NEW COAL COKlNG PROCESS DEVELOPED AT UNIVERSITY

A novel process of coking coal involving the use of wood char coal has been developed by Dr. Nalin R. Mukherjee of the School of Mines research staff, Univer- sity of Alaska.
 Samples of coke made to date contain a high percentage of saw dust charcoal as a binder, are hard, and have an excellent ap- pearance. The process appears to produce a better grade of coke from loWgrade coal; however, additional work is underway to investigate all grades of Alaskan coal and charcoal which might prove satisfactory, University of ficials said this week.
 Coal research was begun in an attempt to aid in the development of an Alaskan industry. Earlier in the season Earl H. Beistline, Dean of the School of Mines, Professors Jack Hoskins and Nalin Makher- ice visited the different coal fields in the Matanuska Valley and collected samples from a number of beds. These samples have been and are now being studied in the laboratory by Dr. Mukherjee.
 Tt is hoped by all concerned" says Dean Beistline, that con- .Inued work along this line will soon produce a product that will justify developing a new industry which will be of great impor- -tance to Alaska
 At the present time Dr. Muk- herjee is in consultation with sev- eraJ specialists in the coal re- search laboratories in the North west.
