Ducharme is commended by Capt. N. R. Lincoln, Jr., Commanding Officer, for his selection as Chief of the Month. The letter of commendation stressed Ducharme’s devotion to duty while acting as Commissary Division Officer during that officer’s illness during August, duties he assumed in addition to his own. During this time, the Chief continued conducting classes in advancement which he had organized and was teaching after hours before. “This exacting schedule did not prevent you from continual active participation in local com munity affairs,” the letter read. “As Cub Scout Registrar and ‘Den II)ad’ you are contributing to the welfare of your community,” it continued, calling his conduct '‘outstanding” and “in keeping with the highest traditions of the Navy.” U.

(More photos next week) Citizenship “A special day like Citizenship Day, which will be observed Sat urday, September 17, is necessary as a reminder to reconsider our benefits and duties as citizens.” So said Mike Rose, president of the Anchorage Bar Association, who through fate of birth and par entage, is a citizen of two countries. He was born in France of Ameri can parentage, and due to the laws of the two countries, is a citizen of both. Rose continued: “We tend to forget that good citizenship con sists in small duties -and large privileges. It is voting on election day—a small thing. It is also in forming ourselves on the qualifi cations of candidates for public office. "“It fs making ourselves inorf familiar with the history of our country through reading such in struments of democracy as the Declaration of Independence.” These are small things, but they help develop a consciousness of citizenship that otherwise we will not acquire. Rose made a significant state ment when he said: “Citizenship can be expressed in many ways. It is necessary to express it, other wise it is in danger.” Rose urged Alaska groups to plan special observances for Citi zenship Day—if nothing else—the display of the flag.
