Request for the fund came from Frank Metcalf, Director of the Civ- flian Defense Board, Under the fund, such expenditures as deemed necessary may be requisitioned, and upon authorization by the Cily Council, much-needed materials may be purchased with little de- lay. It is understood that the first expenditure will be for lumber to build tent frames and bases to be used in case Juneauites must be evacuated from the city. The $372 which the lumber will cost will pro- vide enough tent frames to house 172 persons.

(4) Money. The prospects here are too complicated for any one outside the field of economy to forecast with any certainty. If Leon Henderson“s price fixing works, if wages and farm prices can be kept from skyrocketing and a couple of dozen more “ifs,” there will be more money with less to spend it on. The “more money"” probably will be in the hands of the formerly unemployed; those (es- pecially skilled machinists and fac- tory workers) who haven't for | | | years been able to work every day; industrious farmers; and in the hands of those who supply the goods and the pleasures that money But it'll get around.
