WE RE IN IT FOR ALL WE’VE GOT!
Last month witnessed an event heavy with signifi
cance. In many ways it determined political and mili-j
tary events both on the home and battlefronts. It is
likely to have a profound interest on the length of the
war, which involves the sacrifice of men, property
and perhaps, even the future form of our government.
The government had put forth a request that the in
dividual citizens of the United States make a volun
tary investment of $15,000,000,000, the largest program'
bver financed in the history of the world.
. . I
The response spelled out the answer to questions in
the minds of our own people, those of our Allies, and,
most important of all, in the minds of our enemies.
The pledge of our dollars is the token of our deter-1
mination to win. It comes from the earnest labor of,
inday and also from the savings of yesterday. This
voluntary march of our dollars will do more to hang
crepe on the morale of the Nazi and Jap, and more
M-.ii.ckly than the drafting of millions more of our fa
thers and sons.
We are Americans and boast to the world of our (
freedoms and try to show the way to the unhappy ,
peoples of other nations in setting up our freedoms
and voluntary methods against disciplines and dicta
torial compulsion.
News that there is no substitute for such a morale
building event, nor more destructive of enemy morale,!
than the announcement that the American people, their ,
will and strength, are in this war to the finish, to go
forward with a resolution to build a better post-war
world, in true traditions of free peoples. _

IS THERE A GOD?
Someone has said, “If we have
n’t that within us, which is above
us, we will soon yield to that.
which is around ot below us. We
begin these little chats together I
by asking ourselves: "Is there a 1
God?” Is there something above
| and beyond us which makes a
difference, or are we to yield to
that which is around us, and for

ing our energy from that which
is around us. We live mentally
by the thinking we do in our
work, with our friends, in our
reading. But what about God?
Some just leave God out of their
diet, and try to live aboundant
lives without spiritual vitamins,
j and they find that life becomes
j drab and common. They have
I conflicting desires and purposes
within and they find the world
without is also a sort of mean
1 ingless madhouse. Those who
| try to shortcut GPd out of their
I lives find the real dynamo for
aboundant living has been dis
connected.
Is there a God? Ask those who !
claim there isn’t a God. Look at
the things they stand for. Look
at them when they have to en
dure and as Paul says, “still
stand.” The surest proof that
there is a God is to see a man
[who has become detached from
him. ’ 1
Professor Hocking, speaking as
a philosopher, says, “Man comes
lip to a certain point and then
l finds he hasn’t resources in him
self to complete, himself, so he
remains incomplete ,and frustrat
ed. Incomplete living, frustrated
living, short-jcirduiled living is
I the TeSplt that/natprally follows
one who does rihf'bej feve there is
a God.
An atheist is a man “who has
no invisible means of support”.
A man who has no invisible
means of support is always fall
! ing. His foundations are shaky.
He may look sturdy and strong
(but his house is built on sand
so when the rains ,ome and the
i winds blow and beat upon that
house it falls.
Is there a God? There had bet
ter be, for if man is left to his
| own devices he finds life turn
, ing sour in his mouth. He tries
to pull himself up by his own
bootstraps and becomes discour
aged and frustrated.
I Is there a God? Of course
i there is a God and we must be
I lieve in Him if we would live fhe
aboundant, full, and free life, j
Believing in God is not just a
nice, conventional things to do,
it is patching broken wires, put- !
ting sure foundations under us, '
it is eating food eternally vital
izing, it is opening the doors ar^l
letting in Him who is able to
keep us from falling.

NEW ALASKA STAR
LODESTAR PLANE
ARRIVES IN TOWN
Alaska Star Airlines’ new
Lockheed-Vega Lodestar plane
flew into Fairbanks recently from
Los Angeles with Avery Black,
veteran Lockheed pilot at the
controls and H. W. Robinson,
vice-president and general man
ager, and his bride as passengers,
together with Eugene Lawrnce,
special mechanic, and C. E. Goza,
pilot who has joined the Alaska
Star staff in Alaska.
It didn’t stay long on its maid
en voyage, but took off about 2
p. m. for Anchorage. While its
run is still indefinite, Manager
Robinson said it will probably
be used between Anchorage and
Juneau, Fairbanks and White
horse and Fairbanks and Kodiak.
Since its speed is twice that of
any other plane in the Star fleet
it is capable of covering all of
these runs in a single day.
The new plane is the latest
type used by airlines all over the 1
world, according to Pilot Black,
who has more than 15,000 hours ,
to his credit with the Lockheed
Pega people. It is the fastest com
mercial plane in the world, and
the largest owned by any strict- I
ly Alaska company. With a seat
ing capacity of 14 passengers it
has a cruising speed of over 200
miles per hour. ,
Manager Robinson stated that
the new plane can fly at an alti
tude of from 22,000 to 23,000 feet,
and that it can fly 10,000 feet
with only one of its two engines i
running. Important from a safe- I
ty standpoint, it can take off i
with only one engine. One engine j
can be stopped in midair due to ;
the latest type of full-(feather
propellors with which the plane
