FUN ZONE ATTRACTS
CHILDREN, OTHERS
I
Over 0.000 rides were enjoyed by
I:lie kiddie, in the fun zone at the
subport during the past two days,
according to Harold Zenger who was
in charge.
The subport took on all the color,
noise and music of a midway with
rames, hot dogs, hamburger, pop
and popcorn. The crowds were good,
holding up until the closing hour
last night. A Rotary club photo
booth was popular as was a Sorop
timist dart game.
Weary VFW cooks wondered where
all the hamburgers and hotdogs
went. The Ski club snowball booth
ran out of snow and the baseball
throwing games had big crowds.
The three honored Juneau girls
and King Carter made their appear
ances at all the various events held
yesterday beginning with the morn
ing parade and ending with the au
tomobile awarding at midnight.
They were three girls having a good
time, all gracious and charming
despite their weariness at the close
of an exciting two days.
POLICE WARNING ON
PUTTING AMMUNITION
IN CITY GARBAGE
Juneau residents are warned not
to put any live ammunition in the
garbage, Police Chief Bernard E.
Hulk, said today. Either bury it six
feet under or dump it at sea, he
said.
Last Tuesday Emil Lang was burn
ing garbage at the city dump when
some live ammunition exploded,
broke his glasses and singed him.
It could have killed him if it had
been aimed right, Hulk said.
Defense is your job, too!
Here is a group of strong, healthy young
American soldiers enjoying an after-chow
gab session while they polish up for tomorrow’s
inspection. They are a part of the best-fed,
best-equipped, best-cared-for Army in the
world the United States Army. And they are
just like the boys from your home town, from
your own block, who are training now to do a
job of defending your country—and you.
Defense is your job, too:
And one of the best ways for you to do that
job is to buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For your
Defense Bonds help maintain America’s eco
nomic strength just as these boys help maintain
her military strength. Go to the Pay Office
where you work and sign up for the Payroll
Savings Plan, or join the Bond-A-Month Plan
where you bank. But do it today I v
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building a personal reserve of
cash savings. Money that will some day buy
you a house or educate your children, or sup
port you when you retire. Remember, too,
that if you don’t save regularly, you generally
don’t save at all. So go to your company a
pay office—now—and sign up to buy Defense
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better
buy than ever. Because now every Series E
Bond you own automatically goes on earning
interest every year for 20 years from date of
purchase instead of 10 as before! This means
that the bond you bought for $18.75 can re
turn you not $25—but as much as $33.33—
if you just hold it the extra ten years! A
$37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your
security, and your country’s, too, buy U. S.
Defense Bonds now!
*U. S. Savings Bonds are Defense Bonds-Buy themjTe^rarfy!

Alva Blackerby, forester, with the
U. S .Forest Service today issued a
warning to campers, picnickers,

building a fire in the woods or for
burning refuse, clear a spot down

Before leaving a fire, care should
