But a continuation of the unrest and friction during a time when the nation is trying to win a war is dangerous. War has brought about changes in many things. Labor leaders would have been wise to pull in their horns and settle down to the job with what they had after December 7, 1941 For the most part, the large majority of workers followed along strike policies this civil Some labor They saw in gain and get more power- ing the war machine Wpshir.gton Merry- this line.

Davenport says, -would: prohibit ‘the legal sale| of liquor in almost all inhabitated sections of the United States. By government estimate, Mr, Dav- enport reports, there are at least 100 illicit stills for every legal distillery, and the Federal agents are ar- resting moonshiners at the rate of 1,000 a month Last year’s moonshine production was something like ‘18,000,000 gallons, which, if it had been legally made, wonld have returned the government $72,000,- {000 in t s.

Many of the old-tin retired with the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment are back in the lucrative business, under- selling the liquor stores but making handsome profits, nevertheless.

Adsit had taken the position of clerk in the office of the Attorney General of Alaska, succeeding Miss Ruth Fridlund. Miss Frid- lund had left Juneau several weeks previously for the States and decided to remain in Tacoma. Mrs. Dorothy Bakke, buyer for the B. M. Behrends store, left Juneau on the Princess Mary for a buying trip to San Francisco, Chicago and New York. She was to return in February. Nearly three hundred people turned out for a big entertainment put on by the Shrine Club, complimentary to the B. P. O. Elks. The affair, said to be one of the crowning social events of the winter, was given at the Elks' Club and among the diversions were cards, dancing and supper. T. L. Allen, buyer for Goldstein’s Emporium, left on the Princess Mary for a buying trip to the States. He planned to visit Seattle, Port- land and San Francisco before returning North. W. J. Manahan, formerly cashier in the local office of the Pacific Steamship Company and agent for the company at Skagway the preffous summer, was in the Ketchikan office until the return of George Banbury | who was in the South on vacation. The Ladies’ League, of Douglas, was host to a large number of ladies at a tea given in the league rooms. Mesdames James Christoe, Robert Fraser and F. A. J. Gallwas served. It was decided during the afternoon to hold open house the following Monday at the church when all ladies of the island would be invited to come and sew with the league members for a needy family. Fifteen tables of whist were enjoyed at the Rebekahs',card party | ziven in the Odd Fellows’ Hall in Douglas as the first of a series of four similar events.

Though a long way from eastérn steel centers, this plant may have revolutionary conse quence. For Senator O'Mahoney and Ickes’ Bu- reau of Mines" experts contend that sponge iroh will prove that iron ore can be refined and reduced at the mouth of any small iron mine in the United States. It will also solve the crucial shortage of steel In other words, instead of ship- ping ore hundreds of miles to ex- pensive blast furnaces in Ohio and Pennsylvania, ore can be refined at the mine's mouth, then shipped.
