TURCICH WALKS WITH CHIN UP
When the medals are being passed around there ought
to be at least a small one for Turcich of Chicago.
Turcich, out of work and in need, applied for relief in
1933. He didn’t like being dependent upon relief. Few
persons do. Turcich, however, managed to do something
about it. He found some sort of job at small wage and re
sumed the support of his own family of four. One day this
week he reappeared in the relief office and laid down upon
a counter $55.94—repayment in full of the amount he had re
ceived two years ago.
The money came hard, saved a nickel at a time, a penny
at a time from slender earnings. It did not have to be repaid,
for the relief funds never have been represented to the needy
as a loan Only a rarely independent man would attempt
repayment. For such a one, for a John Turcich, the $55.94
slapped down upon the relief office desk brought something
that will be valued all the rest of his life. A medal for Tur
cich? On second thought it is superfluous. He already has
his reward in a proud and independent spirit.—Decatur Her.
ALASKA AIRWAYS
The establishment of a fast air service from Juneau to
Nome and to interior points in Alaska has a deeper signifi
cance than the passing of the slower methods of travel. It
is the forerunner of the time when the Northern Territory
will be defended by an adequate military force and by nav
al stations and aviation bases.
For many years the principal means of reaching the in
trior points was by dog sled. Instead of traveling by dog
team or by slow river boat, Alaskans can go from the Lynn
Canal to Bering Sea in seven hours. In shorter journeys to
the creeks, trips that took a week can be made in one hour
of flying.
General MacArthur, as Chief of Staff of the Army, has
recommended the establishment of military defenses for Al
aska. Congress should act at once.
In the meantime the development of planes suitable to
Arctic flying, the creation of a corps of experienced fliers and
the construction of improved airports will be extraordinarily
helpful.
Alaska, a vast treasure house, is a tempting bait for an
aggressive and militaristic nation. Its adequate defense
would be an added assurance of peace.—Seattle P. I.

I-Cent Tax Costs
Citizen 6 Cents
MACON, Ga. — Paying his feder
al income tax of 1 cent cost a Georg
ia resident 6 cents.
Paul E. Bryant, deputy collector,
said the taxpayer made out his re
turn at the federal building and
found it totaled 1 cent. Given a
money order blank to send the mon
cv to the collector, he had to pay 7
cent—1 for taxes, 6 for the money
order.
**< M<l<*st Corn" a Fake
Whether an object at the Smith
sonian Institution has been reduced
or elevated depends upon the com
parative valuations of an ancient
relic or ancient work of art suffic
iently realistic to deceive the coun
trys lending scientists for a period
of 20 years. In 1914 officials of the
institution purchased in Cuzco. Pe
ru, what they thought to be an ear
of corn grown in that country sev
eral thousand years ago. It was
brought to Washington and until re
cently exhibited as petrified corn.
When an intensive study to learn
more about the history of corn led
to the bisection of the curio it was
found that instead of being a repre
sentative of an ancient crop it was
a hand-made clay rattle. A hollow
center contained three small pellets
which when the object was shaken,
produced the desired sound. So per
feet was the reproduction that nev
er once during the entire period was
any suspicion aroused. Instead of
being a black mark against the
scientists this mistake should be a
tribute to the ancient modeler.

Supply Of. Shoes
Soon Exhausted
MIDHURST. England — A small
card in the window of the vicarage
of this Sussex town proved once
more that good news travels fast.
The notice read: “Tramps whose
shoes are done for, can obtain a new
pair here." Within a fortnight ho
boes from all parts of England were
streaming to the “shrine for free
soles.”
The vicar, Rev. F. Tatchel who
had to call on the police for help in
examining the claims of the “Weary
Willies” who sought the shoes and
two pairs of socks that went with
them. The vicar finally decided to
close the offer, especially as the
chief constable became alarmed at
the influx of not always desirable
transients.
