Egan and Wade
 Sworn Into Office Saturday at Juneau

JUNEAU, R - William A. Egan became the first Governor of the newly created 18th state of Alas ka Saturday.
 Egan, A, a Democrat, took the oath of office at a brief ceremony in the capitol building here.
 U. s. District Judge Raymond J. Kelly, Republican and for mer National Commander of the American Legion, administered the oath of office to Egan at 8:18 am.
 Dawn was just beginning to break south of Juneau down the scenic Gastineau Channel, with the clear morning sky visible from the windows of the Governors of flee where the oath was taken.
 Hugh J. Wade, 56, Egan's run ming mate in Alaska's prostate hood election in November, was sworn in two minutes later as Secretary of State. The position corresponds to that of lieutenant governor in other states.
 The two Democrats, who face the task of guiding the formative years of the first state admitted to the nation since 1912, will serve terms ending in December, 1862.
 A constitutional limit in the new state provides that no governor can serve more than two consecu- tive terms. But because Egan's first term will be less than four years, he theoretically is eligible for two additional four year in cumbencies.
 Egan and Wade began their du- ties as heads of the largest state without salary.
 There can be no provision for salaries for the new Governor and Secretary until the first State Legislature fixes the pay rate and appropriates the funds. The new state lawmakers convene Jan- uary 26.
 About 24 persons, including the wives of the two new officials, witnessed the ceremony in the Governors office Saturday.

Oh Mann, Oh Women!

LOS ANGELES, LR - Do people really know what they're talking about when polltakers quiz them?
 To find out, Los Angeles Mirror News columnist Paul Coates called 150 people by telephone and asked this question.
 DO you think the Mann Act de ters or helps the cause of labor, and if you feel it deters, would you vote for it's repeal?"
 Coates found that 38 per cent of those polled want to repeal the Mann Act, which since 1910 has made it illegal to transport a wo- man across state lines for inn moral purposes.
 The eolumnist said only 12 per cent realized the question was rigged.

ST. PETER,S anne


Sunday morning July 10, was
a perfect summer day for the
church goers, and the auditorium
was filled to its capacity, as Rev.
M. L. Simmons delivered a very
inspiring message, on Power Of
the Gospel as his theme, using
Paul and Saul as an example. The
first statement was no man can
fight truth and win. Nothing can
be more hazardous to a soul than
a alf committed soul. God avails
himself to every person that seeks
him.
The speaker stated as cultured
as Paul was he was not aware
that Jesus was the son Of God,
neither did he know that Jesus was
a great Savior. He was Gods ap-
pointed and he cannot be defeated
by mortal man, the person who is
Christ possessed is inevitable.
Rev. Simmons later referred to
Acts 7:5S "And cast him out of
the city, and stoned him: and the
witnesses laid down their clothes at
young mans feet whose name
was Saul" The Pastor pointed out
the truly must have God Within
to have the will to pray for an
enemy. Saul expressed 1t to be good
to be among Christian peoples for
they were always witnesses for
Jesus, they had the inner peace
which contains the nature Of the
Christians Saul saw the light and
was made the Ambassador Of the
Gentle world.
The text was from Romans 1:16
For am not ashamed of the
gospel Of Christ: For 1t is the.
power Of God unto salvation to
everyone that believeth, to the
Jew first, and also to the Greek"
The speaker expressed IT am not
ashamed to affiliate, ] am not
ashamed to be identified. You can
not fool around with God and re-
main the same. I do not like to
hear one say I'm as good as the
person who goes to hhurch for If
you go to church soon there will
be a change in your heart. It's a
comfort to read the words of Paul
Let not your heart be troubled"
this phrase brings more comfort
than a bouquet of flowers. Jesus
has a deep abiding love for human
beings He never brushes, If you are
down He will raise you up"
In conclusion Rev. Simmons
stated there are persons who are
actually ashamed to affiliate with
the church, but the only Savior we
have is Jesus. While the spirit of
God was still upon the Pastor, he
asked the Senior choir to Join
with him in singing that beautiful
hymn The name of Jesus is so
sweet.
God bless our young people that
will be camping in Cassopolis,
Mich. at Camp Baber, July 1851.
