Governor Urges
Stong Support
Of Alaska Guard
The need and value of strong
support for the Alaska National
Guard was voiced last week by
Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman in
letters to Alaska chambers of
commerce and veterans organiza
tions.
“I should like to ask you to give
^-prominence,” said the governor,
“to support of the Guard in your
program this year. Especially I
hope you will familiarize the citi
zens of your locality with the ser
vice provided by the Guard; also,
I hope that the ex-servicemen
with reserve obligations and the
younger men of the 17-18V& age
class who are obligated to per
form military service will be ad
vised of the possibility of enlist
ment in the National Guard.”
Pointing up the defense aspects
and financial importance of the
Alaska Guard to the territory and
to each community, the governor
added: “Your cooperation will be
highly appreciated by the men of
the Guard who are so unselfishly
working for the public defense
and the welfare of their commun
ities and the whole of Alaska.”
Boat Owners Asked
To Check on Validity
Of Certificate Numbers
JUNEAU, Jan. 23—Capt. H. S.
Berdine, commander, 17th Coast
Guard District (Alaska) today re
quested that owners of numbered
boats check to see that their Cer
tificates of Award of Number are
up to date and in order.
All inboard motorboats, regard
less of length, and all outboard
motorboats over 16 feet long must
have a Coast Guard Certificate of
Award of Number or a U.S. Cus
toms Document (31st District), the
captain pointed out.
Whenever a numbered boat is
built, altered, or sold, the Coast
Guard must be notified within 10
days and a new certificate issued.
Errors found in Certificates of
Award of Number and other dis
crepancies under the Numbering
Act may result in fines to the
boat owner.
By checking the accuracy of
your present Award of Number
now you may save yourself time
and annoyance during the boating
season.
Owners of numbered vessels
who have any questions concern
ing their compliance with the
Coast Guard’s numbering require
ments should write or visit the
Officer in Charge, U.S. Coast
Guard Marine Inspection Office,
located at Juneau or Ketchikan.

Russia Unofficially Asks
Japan If She Wants
To End State of War
TOKYO, LPi—Major newspapers
in Tokyo said Saturday Russia
has informed Japan unofficially
it wants to end the state of war
between the two countries and
exchange ambassadors at once.
Sources in the Foreign Minis
try, bypassed by the Soviet feeler,
said Japan will ignore any such
proposal unless it is advanced at
the deadlocked talks on the Rus
sia-Japanese treaty in London.
Russia sent word it may uni
laterally declare World War II
with Japan at an end as early as
today—depending on Japan’s re
action to reported proposals that
ambassadors take over the Lon
don talks.
However, Prime Minister Hato
yama and his party chiefs are
reportedly standing pat on Ja
pan’s primary demand that the
thousands of Japanese war prison
ers still held in Russia and cer
tain territory lost in World War
II to be returned before diplomat
ic relations are begun.
Atomic Power May
Solve Water Shortage
By Converting Seawater
LOS ANGELES, OP)—Areas suf
fering from water shortages may
find the cure in atomic energy,
says industrialist John Jay Hop
kins.
“It is a question of getting the
cost of energy down to a minimal
point for the distillation of (sea)
water,” said Hopkins, chairman
of the board of General Dynamics
Corp., builders of the fir^ sub
marine operated by nuclear pow
er.
“By that I mean getting cost
down to one-quarter or one-tenth
of a mill per kilowatt hour,” he
said Friday, addressing a charity
fund drive luncheon.
“Atomic energy produces high
heat and we think it is possible to
get high heat without much ex
pense in time. Now, the cost of
"producing the heat needed is one
tenth of what it was four or five
years ago.”

Quick Bowl of Soup for Breakfast?—
The Idea Is Sweeping the Country
WASHINGTON (Special)—Over*
the years, one of the great argu
ments in American life has been
whether dinner should be eaten
at noon or at night . . . and conse
quently, whether to have lunch or
supper additionally.
But breakfast is the trouble
some meal. Few of us seem to
have time for it—either to pre
pare it or merely to eat it. And
even fewer, perhaps, can face a
plate of1 bacon and eggs at sun-up
with any eagerness. So we swal
low a cup of coffee and we’ve
had it. «
Or at least that is the way it
was—before this soup-for-break
fast craze hit the country.
Nowadays, from the Everglades
to WallaWalla and from Catalina
to Eastport, the can-opener hangs
on the bedpost and the sound of
joyous slurping drowns out the
chirping of the birds. For the ad
>
venturous, there’s a different kind
of soup for every morning of the
month, and for the conservative
type the old favorite is always
available.
And if poppa wants hot but
tered pea soup and momma in
sists on chicken gumbo, that’s no
problem either—as long as they
don’t lose the can-opener or for
get to pay the gas or electric bill.
No one could be happier over
this turn of events than the medi
cos, who have been telling us for
years that breakfast is the most
important meal of the whole day,
biologically speaking. By the
dawn’s early light, they warn,
our systems have completely
burned up last night’s fuel. There
is no steam on the boiler.
And a cup of coffee won’t pop
any valves or give us what is
needed for hours of slugging at
desk or pick or throttle.
But soup—steamy, appetite
awakening, invigorating soup,
with or without noodles, crackers
or ABCs—is the modem chal
lenge to the steak and potatoes
and pie breakfasts on which our
forefathers built the world’s
greatest nation!
GIRL SCOUT TROOP 68
Our meeting last Friday was
called to order by President Cath
erine Siegwart. We formed the
Horseshoe and after the flag cer
emony sang Girl Scout songs.
Each girl chose a project to
work on at home. At our meetings
we are working on our Second
Class badge together. Ann Cham
bers, Carolyn Johnson and Fran
ces Johnson taught us some folk
dances.
The group decided to have in
dividual bake sales tomorrow to
earn money for our Girl Scout
uniforms. We will be having a
bake sale in February.
