Reservists ■
Start Training
Army reservists began their
weekly training program again
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
at the Army Reserve Training cen
ter at 520 Illinois street.
On Tuesdays the 309th Engineer
detachment will meet, and Com
pany B of .the 180th Engineer bat
talion will meet on Wednesdays.
No training has been held for the
past three months in order that re
servists could work on outside jobs
and jobs not in the Fairbanks area.
This has been the policy of the
Fairbanks Army Reserve Training
center for the past two years.
The center has been expanded to
twice its former size so that the
reservists will have ample training
room as well as recreational space.
The expansion was necessary due
to the new draft law and reserve
bill that was put into effect in
August of last year requiring all
young men who were drafted or
enlisted to return to the reserve and
complete further weekly training.

Sig Wold Granted
W aiver To Build
By City Council
The city council granted a waiver
to Sig Wold Monday evening to
erect a building for dead storage of
automobiles on 15th avenue which
would be in conflict with the zoning
of the area.
Councilmen Anderson, Downes,
Greuel, and Sullivan favored the
construction. Cuuncilman Ben Pot
ter opposed.
The Planning and Zoning Com
mission had favored the non-con
forming use in a report to the
council. Potter opposed any attempt
to further business in the residential
area, saying. "Those big vans are
just about swamping us under out
there.”
It was pointed out that Wold's
proposed building would not in
crease or decrease the number of
vans in the area, but would merely
provide storage for much of the
material that makes the area un
sightly.
Wold plans to complete the first
floor of the 100 by 40 foot building
soon, but intends to put apartments
upstairs later on. He stated to the
council, which had formerly tabled
the proposition, that he had already
spent considerable time and money
on the structure, and that it was

not adaptable to any other purpose.
The council clearly showed its
objection to a blanket statement in
the Planning and Zoning Commis
sion's report on the matter, to the
effect that the commission could
not refuse to grant the non-con
forming use since the city ordinance
does not call for the systematic
elemination of all non-conforming
uses. The council saw this as an
open invitation for other non-con
forming uses to enter the area.
The Family That Prays Together,
Stays Together!
Guest EdiYrial by
the Late Hon. J. M. Uhrich, Lieut. Gov of Sask.
Under this slogan, emblazoned on banners and streamers,
echoed and re-echoed on the radio, in the press and platform, a
new and unique campaign or Crusade was launched in Fairbanks
three weeks ago.
Though initiated by the Roman Catholic Church and directed
primarily to its own members its appeal has equal validity for all,
irrespective of Creed.
It is an expression of solicitude for the welfare and stability
of the family, and it seeks the remedy for domestic ills and dangers
in a universal and spontaneous dedication of every family to
united family prayers. It envisages the transformation of the fam
ily hearth into a little church or miniature sanctuary.
The family has ever been the smallest, but the most stable
of human organizations. The family is conceived as the unit,
or the individual brick, from the multitude of which are budded
all nations. The family is a natural society, wherein man's innate
thirst for happiness, for his perpetuation, and for social security
is quenched. The family is sacred, for it is the cradle, not only
of children, but also of the nation its force and its glory.
Truly sublime, therefore, is the purpose and mission of the
family. And to attain fully its lofty destiny, the family must be
religious. Religion inspires parents to be models of virtue to their
children and implants in the children, not alone love of God, but
also those social and moral virtues which create a happy domestic,
as well as civil society. Religion makes the family a fortress of
loyalty to God. It is a religion which generates in children's
hearts a sense of responsibility, of duty, of honor, of courtesy,
of obedience, of self-discipline and above all, of love of God and
neighbor—all virtues which constitute a reaction compatible with
domestic unity and harmony, as well as with individual happiness.
Religion therefore, is the animating, stabilizing and unifying
principle of the family. But, the voice of religion is Prayer. Prayer
raises man above and beyond himself. Through it, he communes
with God. It units minds and hearts in a concerted hymn of praise
to God; it offers atonement for the frailties and faults of men; it
acknowledges man's inaptitude and helplessness.
Family Prayer does all this and more. It binds father and
mother together in a hallowed union, wherein the crosses and
vicissitudes of life become more bearable. Through it. the chil
dren's love and respect for parents is increased. The most cher
ished and consoling memories which a dutiful son retains of his
deceased parents is that of the hallowed moments when the weary
father or the ailing mother knelt in profound recollection with
the family in Prayer. What father or mother, crushed by the bur
den of life, when hearing their children's plea to God, echoing
their own, would not be encouraged to continue the struggle and
to bear their burdens a little further.
We are living in a calamitous age. It is an age when oppres
sion and slavery are being revived, when injustice and violence
stalk society, when false ideologies and godlessness are proclaimed
while the true God is being dethroned. W'hen a variety of the
basest vices, such as drunkenness and impurity are made light
of, when an increasing divorce rate is promoting shattered homes, i
juvenile delinquents and domestic misery, when war and rumors
of war fill our newspapers every day.
These evils are not newr to history. It was ever a revival of
religion and renewal of piety and prayer which brought a solution
to the problems and crises of the past. So today, a solution of
the world's ills is not beyond the power of family prayer.
