C. Oopstead, owner of the 20th Century Meat Market said today upon his re- turn from a business trip of over a month to the States “People in the States are far more war conscious than residents of Juneau and it is really a relief to get home,” “There. will be many changes here in the way of merchandising and it will be necessary for every- one to learn to take things as they come until the war is won. “Alaska is now getting far more in the way of supplies particularly in the meat line than markets in the States. This is mainly through the good graces of the War Ship- ping Administratfon that is allow- ing cold storage shipping space for individual merchants. “One of the most acute shortages is that of labor, which is seriously affecting our war effort. Men everywhere must realize that they must be prepared to quit all work that can be performed by women and get into war industries. Every- where men and women are going to work to help in the vast program, needed if this war is to be won Families are even putting children into schools, in order that all adults can help in the essential industries, “I found the tendency everywhere, especially among business men and company officials, to put all thought of personal gain or comfort aside in order to offer everything in the way of strength into the urgent effort to win the war,” Mr. Copstead said R ad FENSE STAMPS BUY DE DL 0N, SARGINT 1 WATE THAT INFUNNEL - KANGAROO WISS'N NE DO - HONSOMENER NE KNOW HE'S A GREAT FRVORITE \NIF TH' on B0, WSSEE, Bl WE-UNS GOT TOUSE STRAGEDY GVTTIN RID ~ o' TH' BODRACIONS NARMNT Mr. Copestead said. | | | \ Armed soldiers pressed spectators back as two ambulances bearing the bodies of Sabofeurs’ BodiesLeave 6ealh House i | six Nazi saboteurs rolled out of the District of Columbia jail after they had been executed.
