Everyone is conscious of its presence, but few people recognize its importance. Retail grocers go about their jobs day after day, ientiously serving the needs of their work Is not spectacular They seldom attract year after year, the community—but so we rather take it for conse granted attention. Orders for food and groceries are phoned in, and in a short time the groceries are on the kitchen table—or we run to the store, pick up what we want, and give no thought whatever to the time and effort that makes it possible for us to havi our food needs so iently. We usually give little thought to the amazingly large selection of foods from which we are to choose We do not realize that foo 1d delicacies from all over the world are brought to Alaska grocers’ shelves just to whet and satisfy our appetites. The business of fcod retailing began shortly after the first settlers came to our shores. But America with T came Not too many rs ago y 100 items was considered Today more than 1400 to customers in the aver- with as high as 6,000 items in departmentiz developed rapidly, food r development store y store with or a large business different items age small foed store, the highly enterprise are offered specialized and our wants. | through the retail grocer.

From the earliest| date of the earliest community the retailer of food # | important part in community lm-l has played an People have depended upon him. He has always been in a position of responsibility. Buying, .wl]m::.’ warehousing, financing, giving credit, paying tax understanding re- building build- and charity, employing labor, supporting churches lief and giving aid ings, and turning the profits of his operations back | into furth community development, has been the traditional role of the food merchant. | His customers were always his neighbors.

Five More “Walls of England” (Philadelphia Record) H Reports from London become more and more| definite that the five new battleships of the King George class are now in commission with the British Navy. | Should this be true, the British Navy is once again in a position of clear superiority over any combination of European Powers, including Russia and what is left of the French Fleet The new British ships are of 35000 tons each, much bigger and reputedly faster than the two re- maining battleships, the Leutzow and the Admiral Scheer, one of which is apparently loose again in the North Atlantic, The new battleships arrive just in time. The glorious victory of the British fleet air arm over the Italian squadron at anchor in the Gulf of Tar- anto recently, was one of the major British achieve- ments of the war. | But it contained a note of warning for Britain The disabling of at least two Italian battleships marked the first time a capitol ship had been put out of action by air power he depended for his future vx).xtence.l | Ao e --{- HAPPY BIRTHDAY { e e e et e e from ,[zo YEARS ABO Mo% cirorns o ) . ) s .ty e DECEMBER 2 DECEMBER 2 Harry M.

Specifically, they asked ticns of Breckinridge Long, As- sistant Secretary of State, in charge of passport visas. In fact, they made life so miserable the placic Mr. Long that Long even complained to the President that he had ap- cinted a committee of trouble- makers. At this point Mr. McDonald and other members of his committee stormed down to Washington with | fire in their eyes and demanded | that matters be straightened out.| Accordingly, Roosevelt asked Under | Secretary of State Welles and So-‘ licitor Genel Biddle to investi-| gate. They held a meeting with irate committee members and Breck- inridge Long, at which Welles was | dumfounded at the State Depart- ment’s sabotage of the Refugee Committee. “But, Breck,” he said, addressing the Assistant Secretary of State, “only 15 refugees admitted in three and a half months, out of 651? How do you explain that?” Mr. Breckenridge Long figeted and sputtered. He had no explana- tion. In the end, Roosevelt assured his committee that from now on their recommendations would be acted upon without three and a halfy manths’ dalay. * P BRITISH CHILDBEN sermitted temporary visas to Naz susiness men, such a Dr. Gerhar ‘Wetrick.
