That might give us a clue to the type of pub- licity with which Juneau is most likely to find a place in the pages of the press. Probably the most important thing to do is to find something which Juneau hgs more of than any other place, so it can always maintain a position of top prominence in that field. Then, if that subject happened to be related to either children or animals, so much the better. Well—we might find a lot of subjects on which good news copy could be written, right here in our own back yard. But the one thing that immediately leaps to our minds is—bears. other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published weretn. ALASEA CTRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. GEORGE D. CLOSE, Inc. National Newspaper Representa- Mves, with offices in San Prancisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Beattle, Chicago, New York and Boston. SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE — Prank J. Dunaing, 1011 Ameriean Bank Building. THIS PUBLICITY QUESTION The Chamber of Commerce this week appointed a committee to look into the more adequate publi- cizing of Juneau and surrounding country. It was suggested that more news stories, feature articles and news pictures be sent down to the news- papers and press associations in the states, to get the name of Juneau and the wonders of Juneau district more in the public eye. Now there’s good publicity and bad publicity and just publicity. Probably the best jobs of publicizing any city or community have been done by native sons who went out into the wide world and made good. Who, for instance, had ever heard of Van Buren, Arkansas, before Bob Burns began to broadcast about his rela- tives; or about Waukegan, Illinois, before the Jack Benny era. Other cities, on the other hand, try to cash in on publicity through the use of some old gag like a beautiful baby contest, or a bathing beauty compe- tition, or both, and the total result is usually a complete flop. Just think back. Can you remember the name of the last bathing beauty whose picture you saw in the papers, or even the name of - her home town? Ten to one you can’t. i There are some communities, however, that have? cashed in on real publicity without the help of any | outstanding home town boy to go out and blazon‘ their names over the air or silver screen. For instance—think of New Orleans and you | think of the Mardi Gras; mention Carlsbad, New | Mexico, and you visualize the spectacular caverns | in the earth there visited each year by thousands! of tourists; Sarasota, in Fiorida, finds its claim to| prominence in the fact that the big Rlngllng! Brothers-Barnum and Bailey Circus winters there. | Every one of those cities has some event, indus- | try or natural phenomena which never fails to make ' good newspaper copy. Pictures from those cities are welcome on the desks of editors because carni- val merrymakers, giant caves or circus animals are all colorful subjects and good pictures of them help sell papers. We know some old make-up editors on daily papers in the larger cities of the states and through years of trying to please the public with human interest stories and pictures they have placed chil- Yes sir, right over on Admiralty Island, just 14 miles from Juneau, there are more brown and griz- zly bears per square mile than fn any other chunk of country the world over. And if you don't think that pictures of bears—big bears, little bears, mama bears with cubs and bears doing cute tricks—will be welcomed by the pictorial editors of newspapers and magazines, just send them a few with appropriate captions. And in those captions can be featured some- thing that no other community on the face of the globe can boast of. If people want to come to Ju- neau and make the trip out to Admiralty Island, we can absolutely guarantee hunters a shot at a wild bear and cameramen a chance to take pictures of lots of bears. We're fortunate, too, that the animal we have to offer in abundance is the bear, instead of the mountain goat, the moose or the whistling marmot. Nine out of ten people who come to Alaska to see wildlife are more interested in bears than in other animals, according to the Alaska Game Commission. The reason, according to the reasoning of the Game Commission, is because the bear is the last of the big game animals that can still hunter or camera fiend the thrill of stalking game which, may suddenly make up its mind to strike back. “People go to Coney Island to get a thrill out | of riding the roller coaster, because there’s an ele- ment of danger there and they might fall out,” points out Frank Dufresne, Executive Officer of the Game Commission, “and hunters get a thrill out of an animal that may suddenly turn and become the hunter itself.” There are registered guides to be had on Ad- miralty Island and observation towers have been built where the bears gather at stream banks to| feed on fish, enabling camera fans to take close-up, intimate shots of the big animals. All in all, the tremendous bear population of Ad- miralty Island has a huge drawing power for the large majority of persons who still get a thrill out of seeing wild animals in their native habitat. Be- cause it is the most thickly populated bear comntry in the world, and because tourists can be guaranteed the sight of many bears, the island should certainly rate as one of the greatest possibilities for good Ju- neau publicity and should be a real source of Juneau tourist income. Good Place to Train (The Cleveland Plain Dealer) Honorable Japanese diplomats sometimes fail to understand language of honorable president of United States about no likee acts of aggressor nations. Hon- orable Japanese officials say so sorry when bombs fall accidentally on American gunboats in neutral waters. But there is one kind of language that the Jap- anese admirals comprehend quite readily and that is the announcement that two American cruisers have arrived at Brisbane, Australia. The United States Navy Department said that the vessels, the Northampton and the Salt Lake City, were in Australian waters on a training cruise. Quite so. We can think of no better place for American warships to go on training cruises at this time ex- cept in the north Atlantic, The presence of the two cruisers in the harbor of Brisbane will give the Japanese some much needed training in respecting American rights. If the Japanese fail to heed this warning, perhaps some target practice in the Gulf of Siam will be in order. give the | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, AUG. 23, 1941 41 AUGUST 1941 [amon T Tue weo [ur] mu T St | HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUGUST 23 Mrs. B.

The morning may be de- |pressing and churches will be al- most empty, if the stars are right- ly read. HEART AND HOME: Weather conditions today may affect the| family tempers. Quarrels and heat- jed discussions are indicated under this configuration. The head of the house comes under a sway which| causes him to be apprehensive re- garding future finances and to be fault-finding concerning domestic | expenditures, In the evening women come under an inspiring and sooth« ing influence which contributes to, | domestic peace. Interest in religious | | observances will awaken and will| spread in coming months, the seers foretell, for fate will stir hearts by | means of anxiety regarding loved sons and brothers. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Organiza- | !tion and cooperation will mean a great deal to many lines of busi- ness in coming months when tre-| mendous demands are made upon | merchants, —manufacturers and heads of transportation corpora- tions. The American penchant for joining clubs and associations of | many sorts will prove helpful in| |national emergencies. Prosperity will be stimulated by unexpected conditions which are part of the surprising pattern of war. NATIONAL ISSUES: Severe judgments and harsh criticisms should be avoided by patriotic per- sons. Astrologers stress the fact; that isolationists may be as loyal! as the men in the Army or the Navy. They predict splendid service whenever the emergency comes which reveals national perils to which many have been blind.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: China is to benefit at this time, but the stars appear to presage changes that affect General Chi- ang Kai-shek who apparently has passed the summit of high service. Young men of ability and experi- ence are to take over many duties in continuing the conflict with Ja- pan. It has been prognosticated that Japan will be near collapse in 1943, after the people have petitioned the Emperor for deliverance from the war lords who have played the game of foolish opportunists. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of av- of big corporations. The President of the United States is under a rule of the stars which assures for him better understanding of his policies and full cooperation in all his defense plans. The configura- tion is auspicious for speedy pro- duction and efficient direction in the nation’s gigantic defense pro- Jjects. Warning is given, however, that novel forms of sabotage will be practiced by Nazi sympathizers who desire to discredit Communists. ; NATIONAL ISSUES: Propaganda intended to discourage close asso- ciation with Canada in war prepar- ations will be broadcast in ways Directory Professional Fraternal Societies Gastineau Channel Drs.
