DREDGING COMPANY
CHANGES OWNERS
The Fox Bar Dredging Company
was purchased last week by an
Anchorage syndicate, headed by
Percy J. Cutting, for the amount of
$130,000. The dredge was owned
by the Reigel Bros., of Spokane,
Washington, who began the oper
ations in 1934. During the war the
equipment was idle, because of
the government order closing all
mining operations.
During the years 1934-1942 the
company operated with an annual
average net income of $41,720.00.
The new company plans to pre-,
pare for operation as soon as pos
1 sible.
“ . . . . unsearchable riches of
Christ. Ephesians 3:8.
My master has riches beyond the count of arithemetic.
ihe measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the
eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! A mine whose
‘ easu.es can never be fully searched out. You may look, and
study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you
think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My
Lord is more ready to pardon than you are to sin, more able
to forgive than you are to transgress. My Master is more will
ing to supply your wants than you are to confess them.
Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put
the crown on His head you will only crown Him with silver
when He deserves gold. My Master has riches of happiness
to bestow upon you now. He can make you to lie down in
green pastures, and lead you beside still waters. Lord, teach
us more and more of Jesus, and we will tell out the good news
to others.

STOVE EXPLODES AT

VALUE OF WOMEN
(By Mrs. Walter Ferguson)
Uncle Sam is pictured by car
1 toonists as a masculine figure, au
daciously independent of feminine
influence or aid.
Just the same, our old Uncle
j would have a hard time getting
along without the women. In
Washington women outnumber
men by a considerable figure.
While the politicians put their
heads together in committee rooms
or traipse about the country, their
offices are in charge of women sec
retaries. Even when Congress sits
the girls behind the scenes do a
great deal of the real work of the
government—perhaps more than
the senators and congressmen.
Take his secretary away from
him and your average representa
tive would be as helpless as a
duck in a desert. Behind every door
in the Senate and Office buildings
which cover blocks, sit girls and
women working at the details of
legislative business.
Probably it would become a
mess if they were to disappear
suddenly. Other department activ
ities depend upon their efficiency
and faithfulness.
These women seldom get into
print. Nobody takes the time to
praise them or to point out how
vital they are to the welfare of the
country.
Really, men don’t run much of
i anything. In the shadow of every
one stands not only his wife, but
all the women who help to make
his life pleasanter and easier.

[ Sugar Appeal
Not So Sweet
WASHINGTON, (>P)—The U. S.
court of appeals today upheld a
district court decision which OPA
officials say may upset the entire
sugar rationing program.
The appeals court’s decision was
1 given on OPA’s appeal from a rul
ing Jan. 28 by district Judge F.
Dickinson Letts. In that, Letts
held invalid the agency’s “histori
cal use” system of allocating sugar
I to producers of bulk sweetened
condensed milk.
Letts’ ruling was issued in a
suit brought by the Moberly Milk
Co. of Moberly, Mo., which con
tended that the OPA allocation
formula—based on the amount of
sugar used by a company in pre
vious years—is illegal under the
war mobilization and reconversion
act of 1944.
Attorneys for the milk company
argued this act permitted “dis
crimination” against small busi
nesses in the allocating of materi
als for peacetime use. They assert
ed that after the formula was put
into effect last Nov. 1 for con
densed milk producers, the Mobar
ly company had been unable to
obtain sufficient sugar to meet i4s
needs.
OPA moved late today to carry
its embattled sugar rationing pro
gram to the Supreme court.
