Seattle Continues
As Port Of
Embarkation
<(/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Rep.
Jones (R.-Wash.) said today secre
tary of War Patterson has assured
him the Seattle port of embarka
tion is considered a "high priority
military operation” and will con
tinue to be used for sending troops
to Alaska, Japan and Korea.
Jones said Patterson reported
the army had no plans to close
the port because of its strategic
-value to the Alaskan area, which
he said is becoming increasingly
important from a military view
point.
Jones was accompanied to his
conference with Patterson by
Frank McCrillis, Seattle, repre
senting the Washingtonians, an or
ganization interested in j-etaining
the port of embarkation and Chris
ty Thomas, of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce.
Jones added that Patterson
"told us the army was well aware
that the Seattle port of embarka
tion not only is of great strategic
value but affords economy in serv
icing important military installa
tions and troops assignments to
Alaska, the Aleutians, Japan and
Korea. He said all supplies for
Alaska go through the Seattle port
and much of them for Japan and
Korea.
"The secretary said that the
army picture at present places
greater stress on the polar areas
and a growing number of men, all
airforce, are being assigned to
Alaska.”
Jones said the secretary report
ed that although orders were is
sued Feb. 1 discontinuing handling
troops through Fort Lawton at
Seattle the army has continued to
use it for that purpose and for
handling dependents and casuals
because it has no other suitable
place.

LEAVES FOR JUNEAU

= Example or Substitute?
At the close of a service in Germantown, Pa., some time ago,
a stranger accosted the late Dr. D. M. Stearns as follows: “I
don’t like your preaching. I do not care for the Cross. I think
that instead of preaching the death of Christ on the Cross, it
would be far better to preach Jesus, the teacher and example.”
“Would you then be willing to follow' Him if I preach Christ,
the Example?” replied Dr. Stearns.
“I w'ould,” said the stranger; “I will follow in His steps.”
“Then,” said Dr. Stearns, “let us take the first step. ‘Who
did no sin.’ Can you take this step?”
The stranger looked confused. “No,” he said; “I do sin, and
I acknowledge it.”
“Well, then,” said Dr. Stearns, “your first need of Christ is
not as an Example, but as a Saviour.”
And this is every man’s need, (see Romans 3:23-26).
