NATIONAL REPRESENTATIV \merican Building, Seattle, Wash. — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 IPATHY TO SITKA The flames which struck night and Friday caused a greater real loss than the estimated $250,000. In former years it would have been dif- ferent. Materials wotld have been plentiful for speedy rebuilding of the charred business houses. at Sitka Thurs- day morning But today, materials for building are so scarce that peedy recovery is impossible. That is what makes the loss doubly hard to bear. Residents of Sitka and the business men who suffered such a terrible loss in the fire will suffer added hardships from the loss of a part of the main business section of their town. We realize that sympathy has me practi- cal value. But The Empire and Juneau resi- dents join in extending their sympathies, sincerely. THE FOOD PROBLEM Although record yields in 1942 are expected to push the Nation's crop production beyond the all- time peak of 1937, the Department of Agriculture warned recently that the demand has increased even more than production. For practically every food other than wheat, the Department warned, military and Lend-Lease requirements have grown so large that consumers may not be able to purchase the iner ed quantities their rising incomes would per- p -~ | serious handicaps in regard to shortages of labor, materials, and equipment, and the weather will have to be favorable, as it was in 1942. Earlier, Secretary Wickard had warned that we may have revise our ideas about foods to be available in the next few months, and hold back for the future some supplies not necessary to good diet to The Department said that the present harvest assures the Nation food enough, and enough feed for livestock, to fill military requirements and take the needs of the civilian population use of transportation and processing difficulties, requirements for spectal products, and the necessity for conserving supplies against emergencles, consumers need not expect supplies to what their incomes would buy In its monthly summary of the agricultural situ- ation, issued recently, the Department showed mar- keting, processing, and distribution facilities as oper- ating at capacity, preparing the record farm pro: duction for military, Lend-Lease, and civilian use Although this is to be taken as a warning of things to come, it is also proof that Uncle Sam is still the best provider in the world. That's another reason to add to the side of why we should win this war. of bec war equivalent “Alcan Road”—A Fi;sl Step (Seattle Post Intelligencer) Completion of the military highway to Alaska |reflects credit alike upon the army engineers and the public roads administration.

But the job of making Alaska a part of the| | United States is by no means done An immediate issue, raised by Delegate Anthony Dimond of Alaska, is that of a road between Prince{ George, B.C.,, and Dawson Creek, so that highway traffic from the Pacific Coast can get to Alaska, | without having to go back through the Middle West. { If a proposed railroad also is constructed, there will be equal reason for a rail connection from the | Pacific Coast. Eventually this country and Canada nfust get} back to the original conception of the Alaska Inter- national Highway—an extension of the Pacific High- way, through Seattle, Vancouver, Prince George and | thence to Fairbanks over the shortest, most practi- cal north-and-south route. Secretary® of War Stimson refers to the route just completed as the “ALCAN road This is a good designation C " of course is a combination of Alaska and ada. And the | name describes accurately a military road, not a general purpose * highway. This road was located through the interior of Canada to link a series of military airfields, thus assuring both a land supply route and an air route. | It took the War Department a long time to de- cide that any road to Alaska was a military nece: sity. And we can join heartily with Delegate Di- mond in his even-handed criticism and praise: ‘I have been among those who have complained al the obtuseness of some of our military policies. But to the army men who built that road between the thaw and freeze, I take off my hat for a mag- nificent job.” It is magnificent. But it isn't all done.

In Douglas, Jo- seph Riedi was the first to take one of the cards to Guy Smith’s drug store and win an award. Second to reach the Empire with a card was little Henry Ishikawa and third was George Messerschmidt.
