WHILE GERMANY
FALLS
There is a great deal of
human satisfaction just
now in watching Nazi Ger
many blow up and go to
pieces in all the occupied
countries. In some ways,
of course, it adds to the
general mess and makes
confusion worse confound
ed; but there is a lift of
spirit among the Allies,
and throughout the decent
world in general, which
helps to pay for many
dark and troubled davs.
The smashing of the
German war machine with
the invasion of Germany
itself will carry with it the
loss of German prestige,
cripple the word’s chief
troube-maker, crimp her
evil style, take the fighting
weapons out of her hands,
and reduce her power and
capacity for mischief. It
Will usher in a world
where, for at least a gen
eration or two, nations can
live in safety and security.
And when general peace

NEW FIRE PUMP
INSTALLED
Ralph Kitzmiller today re
ported that the new fire pomp,
auxiliary equipment has been in
stalled and tested this past week,
and is in A-l shape.
More pressure is reported at
former low pressure points, and
it/ is felt that as soon as the old
pumping unit is overhauled, it
will be returned to its base for
regular use.
The new unit is scheduled as an
auxiliary unit, and according to
Mr. Kitzmiller, should be install
ed at some point on the fire
mains, away from the city hall,
in order to insure water to the
fire mains in case the fire hall
should burn.

COFFEE PRICES
ARE LOWERED
Retail ceiling prices on approx
imately 20 brands of coffee—one
and two pound container sizes—
will be slightly lower in many
Alaska towns as of August 19,
according to an announcement
from the Juneau office by Don
ald J. O’Connor, Territorial price
executive, with the Office of Price
Administration.
“Due to recent decreases in sur
charge and war-risk and marine
insurance rates, it now costs re
tailers less to land this commod
ity,” Mr. O’Connor said. The sav
ing thus effected is passed on to
the consumer by amendment to
the previous coffee ceilings, be
coming effective August 19th in
16 major Alaskan communities.
" ~~ —....... ',■■■■■ —
"You*!! have to take the top ooo
alone, Joe. I didn’t eat my

Generally the savings are more j
! appreciable in the gulf area and t
interior although the ’panhandle '
towns also reflect this slight
! downward trend. Listed below are
! a few of the ceilings now reduc
S ed in this board area. Others in- i

proportionate savings to consum
