CALVES WILL BE
AUCTIONED AT 4-H
FAIR ON SATURDAY
Saturday night, a lot of calve.'
are apt to be bawling and not foi
their mothers, either. That’s when
the calves go on the auction block
at the 4-H Club Fair in the Na
tional Guard Armory sponsored
by the American Legion.
That’s right! There will be sev
eral calves sold via the auction
block as tfte final event of the
fair. If they don’t bring in enough
money when auctioneer Bob Drux
man raps his gavel, the former
owners of the calves will probably
start bawling, too.
The calves are all expected to
be in top marketing condition after
several months of careful grooming j
on the part of members of thf :
Mendenhall 4-H Club. The boys ^
promise many meals of good veal;
from their former pets.
In addition to the calves, the ^
various 4-H Club members will be j
selling many other products during
the course of the fair. Cakes, cook
ies, preserves and poultry will be
sold across the counter at the
4- H Club booths.
American Legion Fair Co-Chair
man Harold Zenger and I. J. Mont
gomery said today that arrange
ments are progressing very well.
They declared that it will be a good j
fair with plenty of entertainment;
for everyone.
BOOKLET WRITTEN BY
LOCAL FORESTER IS
REVISEDJEISSUED
"The r-ocKCt Guide to Alaska
Trees," first published in 1929 by
Ray Taylor, forester in charge at
the Forest Research Center, has
recently been revised and reissued
by th United States Forest Serv
ice.
The booklet written in conjunc
tion with E. L. Little, Jr., Forest
Service dendrologist, Washington,
D. C„ adds five species and one
variety to the 28 species in the
first edition. It gives the common
and scientific names and describes
the trees, their habitats, economic
importance in non-technieal lan
guage and a map of the forest
regions in Alaska.
The request lor another prim ins |
provided the opportunity tor re
vision and enlargement this year
to include a few addiUons, more
detailed data on ranges, and other
notes resulting from various stud- '
ies during the 21 year interval,'
when interest in Alaska has greatly j
increased,
“Identification of the trees of Al- 1
aska is not difficult, because rela- j
tively few kinds of trees grow in
far northern lands toward their |
limits. Nearly every state in the
United States contains within. its
boundaries at least twice as many i
native tree species as does Alaska,” ;
states the preface to the booklet.
“Nearly all the commercial timber !
of Alaska is produced by these j
nine species: white spruce, Sitka j
spruce, western hemlock, mountain
hemlock, western redcedar, Alaska
cedar, balsam poplar, black cotton
wood and paper birch. Twelve re
lated shrubbery species are briefly
described, in order to mention all
Alaska representatives of the tree
genera except willows and to list
shrubs which became small trees
elsewhere.”
A limited number of the book- j
lets are available for free distrib- ;
ution at the local Forest Service
office. Copies may also be or
dered for 25 cents each from the
Superintendent of Documents,
Washing* on, D, C.

TOM DYER TELLS
BPW CLUB MEMBERS
OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE
There was no doubt among mem
bers of the Business and Profes
sional Women's Club that we are
at war. and that Juneau's Civilian
Defense organization is preparing
for war emergencies after Tom
Dyer, first vice director of the
leer! Civilian Defense organization
addressed the club at its meeting
in thi Baranof T-'-’-acc room Mon
day.
“We rre at war, a rough war,
master-i rinded by our 'friend' Joe
Stalin,” Dyer told the group of
women. "Stalin is pushing the
button and as soon as we have won
the Korean action—and we will win
—I believe that Mr. S'aiin will
push another button as part of his
plan to subjugate the world to
Communism.
"Complacency is what we have
to fear more than anything else.
We have allowed the insidious in
filtration of Communism into our
top government, in some labor
unions and in education.* Some of
cur best educated and most intel
ligent people have fallen lor this
Communistic line of bunk,' the
CD head said.
Civilian Defense, Dyer explained
is set up to combat the emergen
cies which we may expect in case
of war.
The local group, set up to co
operate with the Territorial Civil
ian Defense organization, of which
Col. J. D. Alexander is director
and Frank Metcalf assistant direc
tor, is composed of U. E. Robertson,
chairman, Dyer, C. E. Holland,
Charles Burdick. George A. Parks,
A. B. Phillips, Walter Hellan, Joe
Williams and the Rev. Willis Booth.
With these men in charge of civ
jl.an defense planning, the local
ea has been divided into 32 dis
. :cts, each with a captain and a
minimum of six assistants.
"Selecting assistanb-: lias required
care and thought. We must choose
men who will keep their feet on
the ground in case of emergency.
• In our planning, we must a.s
ume that the worst might happen
'o Juneau in case ol war. uo.e
j is the possibility of incendiary
bombs, attack by surface or under
sea craft.
"Our problem is to figure out
ahead of .time what we can do to
best protect our citizens. Our work
;3 coordinated with the fire de
| partment. We must consider sabo
i tears. We must train men for
j maintenance of our public util
Jities."
' As to the part women can have
! in civilian defense, Dyer told the
1 BPW members that training of
nurses, first aid groups, home nurs
t ing. will provide women with a
I definite place in civilian defense,
, plans.
‘ Every district will have a casual
I ty and first aid station. First a) 3
kits have been prepared throur t
j the assistance of high school stj
■ dents.
1 “We are working for you, a r,d
ycur protection. We are form rig
a workable organization, one 11 at
Will avoid any mob action in a ny
eventuality," Dyer concluded.
Plan for The BPW Minfield 'Pag
Day, when Teen Age Club members

The meeting, presided over by

POLICE FOR
GERMANY IS
AGREEMENT
Mobile Formations to Deal
with Subversive Ac
tivities Planned
NEW YORK, Sept. 19—The
United States. Britain and France
announced today they had agreed
to permit the western German gov
ernment to organize "mobile police
formations” to deal witn possible
subversive activities of the Com
munists.
In a final communique, Secretary
of State Acheson and Foreign Min
isters Robert Schuman and Ernest
Bevin officially informed the Ger
man government that the Western
Powers are considering the problem
of "German participation in an in
tegrated force for the defense of
European freedom.”
The Big Three laid down half a
dozen major decisions on German
occupation policy, all designed to
give the Western Germans greater
control over their own affairs and
prepare the way for them to take
a greater part in the Western com
munity of nations.
In a communique apart from their
report on German decisions, the Big
Three also announced they had
agreed "that the efforts of the
United Nations to resist threats to
the peace and to achieve peaceful
settlements will receive their firmest
support." In other words, they are
going into the new session* of the
General Assembly with a common
front against Soviet Russia on
l major peace problems.
Principal points of the agreement
on Germany include:
1. With an obvious warning to the
Soviet Union, the three announced
that "they will treat any attack
against the Federal Republic (West
Germany) or Berlin from any quar
ter as an attack upon themselves.”
2. All three will take the steps
necessary In their domestic legisla
tion to end the state of war with
Germany, and thus “create a
firmer foundation” for friendly re
lations between Germany and other
countries and remove handicaps to
which German nationals abroad are
subject.
