FIVE YEARS OLD, GOING ON SIX
A significant ctlebration takes place tonight as
the local Teen Age Club marks its fifth anniversary
with a birthday party.. Actually, the club’s anniversary
occurred in June. but so many of the members were
out of town” working or on vacation, that the cele
bration was .postponed until tonight. .
The Emjjlre joins the rest of the community in
congratulating the boys and girls on this important
occasion. tVhen the organization was started, the
young people' set up seven objectives as a club pro
gram. Thcrtrweie: “To provide a place for supervised
recreation lor teen agers; to work cooperatively with
adults in joifit enterprises leading to community bet
terment; to enable teen agers to accomplish various
charitable projects; to reduce to a minimum the
causes of juvenile delinquency; to help young people
and adults to better understand each other; to give
expression.'through the Club, to the teen agers’ many
talents for useful living and to establish the club
house as a ’second home’ for each of its members.”
That these objectives are being realized is appar
ent. Not long ago, published statistics on juvenile
delinquency showed a marked decrease in Juneau’s
delinquency incidence. Much of the credit for this
showing may be given the Teen Age Club.
The Club has a board of adult advisers repre
senting the various lodges, service clubs, women’s or
ganizations and other civic groups. To these adults,
congratulations are in order today.
The combined efforts of teen agers and their
adult advisers have made the Club unusually suc
cessful. This, surely, is a fine example of the
youngsters working cooperatively with grownups in
joint enterprises leading to community betterment.
Taxpayers’ Capacity
(Seattle Times)
Clark Squire, collector of internal-revenue in this
area, says that income tax collections in Washington
and Alaska this year have passed well beyond the
half-billion mark. They exceed $600,000,TOO, approxi
mately equalling collections for the entire nation
in 1916.
Much has happened in the intervening years to
produce so {narked a change, and not all that has
happened has been good. But no one can hold that
this corner of the country has not flourished through
it all, as its present capacity to help support a fabu
lously costly government clearly indicates.

NOTES AND COMMENT *
Three things kill human beings: hurry, worry and
grease.
• * * •
Money talks and it usually is talking about taking
care of itself.
* • • •
It is very difficult to persuade a smoker that
smoking is bad for his health.
• * • •
It is surprising how much work our friends think
we can, and should do.
* * • *
Democracy may be governed by those who believe
what anybody tells them.
• * * *
A genuine publicity hound cannot understand
vhy some people cling to the old-fashioned idea that
'.hey do not desire publicity.
« • • *
Vacations will not be enjoyed this summer by
the men in the armed services, regardless of how
necessary a rest may be to the people at home.
* » • •
To get rich, amuse the people; to stand alone,
know something; to be feared, be above reproach.
» » • •
Could it be that the failure of some officials to
maintain a high standard of ethics is due to an
ignorance of ethics?
The safety, security and welfare of the U. S.
depends upon the safety, security and welfare of its
people.
Every generation, if wise, learns from those who
follow as well as those who went ahead.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
those involved in this affair, while
openly admitting their violatiqn of
the cadet code of honor, are not
fundamentally men of bad morals
or character.
Reasons for Leniency
“They have, however, fallen into
evil ways. They have not, in the
words of the cadet prdyer, prefer
ted the harder right instead of the
easier wrong,' and in their failure
have brought sorrow upon them
selves and upon the military ac
ademy.
“Many of your group,” General
Collins continued, “have made par
tial amends for this past offense by
the straight forward way in which
you have assisted the authorities in
investigating -this matter and in
putting the situation to rights.
“I sincerely hope that you will
all leave the academy determined
to redeem this early fault by the
character of the lives which you
lead hereafter.”
Note: Though past violators of
the honor code received dishonor
able discharges, Collins showed spe
cial leniency to the 88. He explained
to them: “I did not feel that the
conduct of the cadets warranted
the usual discharge presently given
in honor cases; that is to say, one
which indicated discharge under
conditions other than honorable.
However, in justice to cadets who
have received this type of discharge
for hunor offenses in the past, one
cannot justify an honorable dis
charge in the present case. Instead,
it ha:: been decided to allow the
cadets to resign and to receive a
simple administrative discharge
without specification as to circum
stances.”
Eisenhower Reports
General Elsenhower is well sat
isfied with the progress of western
Europe's defense program, he told a
congressional group in Paris recent
ly. Then he added: “But the job
I’d like to see accomplished isn’t
half done.”
Eisenhower figures it will take
another year, “probably by the end
of 191)2,” to get our Atlantic pact
allies in top shape, militarily and
economically.
He explained that he was think
ing in terms of "total defense”
against possible Soviet aggression
anywhere this side of the Iron Cur
tain. This didn’t mean, he said, that
A.tlantic pact armies under him
aren’t already prepared to give a
good account of themselves if call
ed to action in the meantime.
Ike added some pointed provisos
to the Capitol Hill delegation, led
by Republican Sen. Homer Fergu
son of Michigan, one of which was
that the people of the United States
and Congre: must not “let down '
in their support of the Atlantic pact
program.
“I know that most Americans re
alize that we cannot afford to let
that happen, with the world in its j
present state,” Eisenhower empha
sized. “Too much is at stake.”
ft
Other provisos Ike mentioned were
the continuance of some economic
aid to our European allies as well as
efforts to sell America behind the
Iron Curtain. While he didn’t men
tion specifically propaganda ball
oons, he made it clear that we can
not afford to overlook any device to
get the truth of our sincere peace
efforts to Russian satellites.
He also strongly endorsed a pro
posal by Rep. Harold Cooley of
North Carolina, chairman of the
House Agriculture committee, that
advanced American farming tech
niques be put to work in western
Europe to conserve the soil and in
crease food production.
Eisenhower said he wasn't too
much concerned about Communist
activity and anti-U.S. propaganda
this side of the Iron Curtain. But
he is seriously concerned about an
other Israeli-Arab outbreak, which
Russia might parlay into a third
world war.
None of Eisenhower's callers had
the nerve to ask him about the top
political question on this side of
the Atlantic—whether he will run
for president. One or two looked at
each other hopefully, thinking the
other would pop the question. But
when they filed out, not one extra
ray of light had been shed on this
subject.
Senate Dialects
Everyone likes handsome Sen.
Burnett Maybank of South Carolina,
but his colleagues sometimes have
difficulty understanding him. May
bank comes from the "lo(^ country”
around Charleston, where both ne
groes and whites speak a dialect of
their own.
As a result, Senators sitting right
next to Maybank sometimes have
no idea what he is saying.
At a recent Senate Banking Com
mittee meeting, for instance, May
bank rattled off an explanation of
a new bill. Senator Flanders, Ver
mont Republican, listened careful
ly. Then in his New England drawl
he remarked: "To paraphrase Vol
tiare, I don’t understand a word you
say, but I’ll defend your right to
say it.”
Washington Pipeline
Though she stands aces with new
Secretary of Defense Lovett, dyn
amic assistant secretary Anna Ros
enberg may resign. She was brought
in by George Marshall to cut the
waste out of armed services’ man
power and has nearly accomplished
her mission. . . . Tn a swift, week
end operation, Michigan's Sen. Blair
Moody and Walter Reuther, of the
Auto Workers, talked defense mobil- i
izer Charley Wilson out of $800,000 i
in contracts to keep 40,000 Detroit
workers from walking the streets. . .
Writer Frieda Utley, a violent Chi
ang Kai-Shek partisan and ally of
the Chinese Embassy, is coaching
Sen. Pat McCarran’s probe of al
leged Communists in the State De
partment. . . Conscientious Sen.:
Paul Douglas of Illinois is one of j
the most sensitive men ever to enter ;
politics. When a Senate Banking
Committee toured the miserable
slums of Washington, the gentle,
quaker-taught Douglas wept just a
little.
Price Regulations
Are Issued by OPS
Copies of the amended ceiling
price regulation 9, Alaska’s retail
sales regulation, are now being mail
ed to business men, the Territorial
Office of Price Stabilization said
this week.
Over 1,500 businesses are affected
by the regulation, Fred G. Hanford,
territorial director, said.
Major changes in the price regu
lation will allow merchants to use
percentages _ in determining their
selling prices rather than the former
dollar-and-cent method, if they
choose.
The law requires that retail mer
chants covered by CPR 9 mark or
tag all items with the selling price,
and also that such stores promin
ently display a sign reading: "The
prices of merchandise in this store
are no higher than the OPS ceiling
prices of the articles.”
Articles must be marked, and the
sign displayed, by September 30,
Hanford said.
Along with the regulations them
selves, the OPS is mailing a mimeo
graphed instruction sheet explain
ing the requirements in simplified
terms.
CIVIL DEFENSE OFFICE
NOW IN NEW QUARTERS
The office of the territorial di
rectaor of civil defense has been
moved from the subport and is now
located on the third floor of the First
National Bank Building. The civil
defense office is in rooms formerly
occupied by Judge Simon Hellen
that who retains one small office
on the same floor.

Keithahns Drive
2,724 Miles on
Alaska-Y. T. Trip
After an Alaska and Yukon Ter- |
ritory motor trip of 2,724 miles,
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Keithahn re
turned to Juneau on the Territor
ial ferry Chilkoot Tuesday morn
j ing. Keithahn is curator of the
j Territorial Museum.
| Leaving here about three weeks
ago, the Keithahns shipped their
car to Haines and drove to White
| horse and up the Taylor Highway
in Alaska to Dawson, Y. T. Keit
hahn expressed this trip as one
of the most scenic he had ever
seen.
From Dawson they went to Fair
banks where Keithahn had the
opportunity of conferring with
several archeologists at the Uni
versity of Alaska before attending
the second Annual Science Confer
ence at McKinley National Park.
They shipped their car and
traveled by railroad to the park.
At the science meeting he gave a
paper on "Early Ancestors of the
Totem Pole.”
After the conference they took
the railroad to Anchorage and
then visited Valdez later driving
back over the Richardson and Al
aska Highways to Haines.
In Anchorage they were guests,
of Orah Dee Clark, pioneer Alaska I
school teacher and Fred and Sara
Machetanz. Machetanz is a famous
Alaska artist who has a home in
Palmer where the Keithahns were
guests.
As an interesting note Keithahn
said the entire 2,724 miles they
traveled cost them $72.60. In the
Interior of Alaska the lowest
price paid for gasoline was 46 cents
a gallon. In Dawson, for an Im
perial gallon which is slightly
more than an American gallon, the
price was 80 cents.
Their roundtrip fare on the fer
ry from Juneau to Haines and re
turn, for themselves and car was
$106.29.

SEPTEMBER 21, 1931
Juneau’s unemployment situation was being studied by Mayor Thomas
B. Judson with the view to taking immediate steps to relieve it. An
employment agent was to be hired to canvas Territorial and Federal
agencies for jobs and to classify the unemployed listed as to their needs
and capablities.
A marriage license was issued in Seattle to David H. Bevan and
Ethel J. Le&dbetter, both of Ketchikan.
Tie making on the Alaska Railroad and Copper River and North
western Railway is being used to combat unemployment in those areas,
B. Frank Heintzleman, assistant, regional forester, said today after
his return from the Westward. About 30 camps have been established
on the Kenai Peninsula to cut logs, he said.
Leaving Juneau on the steamer Yukon for Seattle this morning
were the following passengers: Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Nuzam, Herrick
Nuzam, Mrs. L. M. Matson, Mrs. A. H. Hegberg, Mrs. Mary Durando,
Miss Helen Lindstrom, Louise Carvel, Clement Gilbert, George Allen,
William Burroughs, Patrick McLaughlin, Y. Shitanda, Henry Shitanda,
George Shitanda, Albert Brown, W. S. Pullen Jr.
Walter B. Heisel returned to Juneau last night from Seattle where
he had attended a convention of the National Federation of Federal i
Employees.
Paul Bloedhorn pioneer jeweler from Cordova, has opened a
business in this city. He arrived here yesterday with Mrs. Bloedhorn.
