PONSIBILITY AND THE JUNEAU PARENTAL RE CLOSING HOURS IN It develops, naturally enough closing hours in Juneau question, There are sinc ticular objection to extending the time past the 1 a.m, hour now in effect and others, equally sincere, are very much opposed to it. In the maze of argument to whict eged to listen last night at the City C which, incidentally revealed that th not change the sting ordinance by thus the old closi hour of 1 a.m still i effect one fact very forcibly. That was the total absence of any reference to parental responsibility A great deal was made of the “bad influence’ drinking places upon children, which, is un- doubtedly true, providing that children are permitted to frequent or be around such establishments, But the old-fashioned thought occurred to What are the parents themsel doing about it? Are they permitting their youngsters, boys and girls of imma= ture years, to go to place their own r s and paying what the children do? Responsibility, it was charged at last ni ing. is with the City Council for the young people.” Well, is it? Maybe it's an obsolete, up around the turn of the pants rmed times off from supposed to be, but it stuck with that moral and every other kind training which moulds the character of youth starts at home Of course, perhaps in this enlightened and fast- moving age, it is up to the Police Department and the City Council to raise our children and tell them whether or not it's a good idea to hang around beer parlc or what the younger generation refers L a3 “Faastores. it i is, we're out of step with the moving scene, and we feel sorry for the police and the city fathers. They have a job on their hands to properly raise the children of this community. But out-moded as we apparently are, we can't help but feel that a little parental restraint, through the acceptance of parental responsibility by us fathers and mothers, would have a ve beneficial influence on these “conditions” we talk so much about, and we wouldn't need to worry so much about whether “these places” are open at 3 a.m. or 3 p.m THOSE RUMORS ABOUT ALASKA JOBS Just how unfounded reports get started in the States of fabulous work projects in Alaska where jobs can always be had at handsome wages probably alw: will remain a mystery. But that they do get around and cause many deluded persons to head north with- out funds, hopeful of coming to the promised land of milk and honey, is evidenced in the constant queries and by the number of men who have been arriving on nearly every boat. The following letter to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in the last mail from a man in Hollywood Cal, gives a startling revelation of why mdividuals come to Alaska with the idea of going to work imme- diately and too often wind up by becoming an un- employment burden to themselves and to our munities: This letter is written in the hope that you will be able to give me the information I seek.

I am a married man imperative that I find something to do very soon. If you know of any such thing of any other project where it is reasonably safe to assume I could get emaplo; ment, will you let ' me know immediately? I understand there is a boat leaving from Seat- tle on the 15th of March to take men to this new project. T would like to be on that boat when it leaves, >an it be possible that rumors such as and it is or these are ~ being circulated in various communities in the States for the purpose of moving unfortunates out of those places?

Chairman John Hamilton has overcome occasion- ally his natural reticence and sought to enlighten his countrymen. If response was not loud, it may have been deep. Still, there may have been a feeling in the party that he wasn't “thoroughly representative.” Persons of good-will wish the committee well; yet because of the conflict of Republican personalities and opinions, wouldn’t a Committee of Correspondence. a name rich in great memories, have been preferable? At least a correspondence kept private could cause no open shortness of temper and sharpness of speech. The committee on program will meet in Chicago at the end of the month.
