McCormick further stated that

continue to register all persons
liable for registration under the
Selective Training and Service
Act.
Dies In Anchorage
Mrs. Charles A. German, 48,
died at Anchorage last Thursday
(continued from page 6)
in Alaska there was withholding
tax, social security and luxury
tax?
It seems to us anyone would
know that if Alaska didn’t have
sach taxes anyone would know.
Another letter from a woman
in New Jersey asks for the sub
scription rate of the Mirror and

saying, “she will hold in the

Sh! It's $5, and the other in

ly he jumped to conclusions and
assumed a promised case of
champagne was in the offing.
To himself he began framing a
speech of acceptance—“Assum
ing that this is dry champagne,
a few dry remarks are probably
in order” or “We’d better say
something now we might not be
able to later”—but he was just
wasting his time.
The speech, however, was lead

Mrs. German formerly lived in

Because few girls showed up

the field behind the church and
played games.—Donna Fitzger
