It is indeed unfortunate that a definite policy with regard to farm labor ha not been established At present, Secretary Wickard says that Ameri- cans, including Alaskans, will be well-fed next year and wili have about as much meat as in r years. Crop acreage, he says, will be as large as thi year's. Other sources, however, including the farmer have their doubts about thi. A et they have re- ceived no adequate as ance that they are to have farm laborers to replace those who have left for war industry or the armed services. Skimpy. tentative promises of protection of the labor supply that is left can't help the situation because the farmer: must plan their 1943 operations at once Frankly, the farmers and all Americans could stand for less talk and more action. There is an immediate need of a definite policy Just last May, Secretary Wickard warned of a food shortage. Earlier he had predicted that there would be no danger Then again in July, he pre- dicted an abundance of food with no danger of meatless days In September, he out again to warn of a shortage.

Marshall, of the Marshall and Newman Company, and Mr: Marshall, returned to Juneau from the States after an absence of six weeks. They had visited with friends and relatives in Seattle, Portland and Tacoma. The yacht Erus, recently brought north to Douglas by Paul Kegel, was in Juneau. Mr. Kegel was having work done on the boat. Annual memorial exercises were to be held at the Palace Theatre by members of the B. P. O. Elks beginning at 2:15 o'clock, to which the public was invited. Miss Esther Cashen, of Douglas, planned to leave on the Princess Mary for a visit during the holidays with her sister, Miss May Cashen in Victoria, B. C. Dan Noonan, Chief Steward on the steamer Spokane, was making his last trip on the vessel, which was in port during the morning. He was to leave immediately upon his arrival in Seattle for Philadelphia to spend the holidays. He was to be accompanied by his family and they expected to be in the East visiting relatives for six weeks. J. W. Gucker arrived in Juneau on the Spokane from a business trip to towns in the southern end of the division. A hilarious afternoon was spent the previous day by the young people {of Juneau who attended the Kiddies' Jitney Fair given in the social |rooms of Trinity Cathedral by members of the Guild. Junegi exceeded its quota of 1,000 mmebers in the annual member- ship drive of the American Red Cross which closed the preceding day, according to John Ford Starr, publicity chairman.
