To Be Liquidafed,
Customers Learn

Grosner's of 1925 F street, g.
year-old mems wear store, will
be liquidated.
This was disclosed in a COM
pany letter inviting certain Gus

terests of the Grosner family,
refused to discuss liquidation
plans but said statements in the
letter to customers were true.
Decision to close the store fol-
lows what is described as a poor
sales year in 1858. The average
decline in 1853 mems apparel
sales from the previous year in
this area was estimated by the
Census Bureau as only 5 per cent
but some individual firms showed
much larger decreases.
Gerald D. Grosner retired as
president of the store in 1852
when Mr.. Libby acquired control
Mr.. GroSner, a past president of
the National Association of Re-
tail Clothiers and Furnishers
and a leader in the Better Bust
ness Bureau, served for 33 years

Mr.. Libby also owned stores in

Boy Scout Troop 625. Ko- diak Troop, spent nine very enjoyable days at the Navy Base encampment which was just concluded on August 8th. Thirteen Scouts and seven leaders from the city attended the encapment.
 The scouts participating were Roger Malutin, Michael |Swensen, James Minstrel, Stan ley Aust erman, Nick Popoff, Louis Kilgore, Alan Austerman Dennis Gillian, Richard Frost, Ronald Short, Leanord Heit- man and Stephen Foster.
 The Leaders were: Clarence IDizney, Clarence King, Nor man Sutliff, Paul Slower, Max LaLande, Ed Naughton and Irwin Bowman the Sponsor Representative.
 The daily program for the Scouts during the encampment consisted of daily craft in struction from 9 till noon. Elm phasis was placed on second and first class pioneering and cooking with fundamentals of camping playing large part in the program:The afternoons fenud the 2 outs at Lake Lou ise getting instructions in swimming. boating and water saftey. The evenings were de- voted to campfire programs. games and Order of the Arrow ceremonies. Part of the pro- gram forced theScouts to sleep under a structure made by themselves which was to be constructed ofnaturalmaterials which were at hand. Some fashioned lean to's some a tee pee form oflodging while some utilized sleeping bags and the milky way for a cover. They also did their own cooking as part of the program, it being accomplished on a patrol basis. Each Scout was givena chance at the cooking chore for his patrol which is eight boys.
 During the nine day en- campment each Scout advanc- ed in grade Jim Minstrel was selected as the outstanding camper and by so doing was initiated into the Order of the Arrow, a coveted prize for all Scouts.

Headquarters for the SelectlVe Service System and repeated by John l.. Mccormick, Direct tor of Seleltive Service for the Territory of Alaska, to a young man whohas not yetcompleted his high-school education has always been and continue to be for him to stay in schoolun- til he completes hishigh-schocl education. Such was the inten- of Congress when provision
 was made for a statutory de- ferment for a registrant to be deferred until he graduates, attains the age of 20, or ceases to satisfactorily pursue his. courses.
 At this particular time Of the year, nanyhigh-scho oelstudents. are caught in the'cross current of conflicting advice. Some students will abandon their high-school education for one, of the following reasons:
 CD Jobs are relatively plenti full and wagesare lucrative, (2) Dislike of school, (3) Desire to start living, (4) To go back and complete education at a later date, (5)' A desire to en- list in the service, (6) Neces- sity.
 The fallacy of the first four arguments above are easily discernible. Now in regard to No 5, the Department of the Army and the Department of the Air Force haverecently re- leasee publications advising a young man to remain in school until he completes his high school education. The Army pamphlet is called Straight Talk About Staying in School" and the Air Force publication is called Straight From the Shoulder. In both publications it is pointed out that the ser vices desire that a young man complete his high-school edu- cation. With a diploma, fields of promotion will beincreased. Without a high-school edlca- tion, the man'svalueto service Is considerably limited. To bel 8 leader, a high-schocl educa. tior is g minimumrequirement It is pointed out that modern warfare demands weapons and technics of an increasingly complex nature. Specialized and technical training is neces say and t e services need men with education an ability to ab sorb specialized and technical training. The traditional herit- age of American youth to sec ure a high-school education is an opportunity that should dcer- tainly not be overlooked.
