So far as surface | indications are concerned, you'd | never know there was a war with- |in a few'hundred miles except for the thousands of soldiers and ci- | vilian workers that throng the | streets, bars, gambling tables, ;mn\‘n:\ restaurants, and water- { front saloons. | There are, by actual U.S.0. count, |17 saloons and 10 liquor stores in Juneau, a town with a normal pop- |ulation of about 5,000. They open |at 10 o'clock in the morning, if |the bartender can get his eyes 1|)n|‘(l apart that early, selling only| beer to men in uniform—at 30 to 40 cents a bottle—but anything you |can name to civilians. | There is a wide array of liquors back of the bars and in liquor store | | windows. It is doubtful that the| | best stocked liquor store in Cmcago} |can boast all the varieties for sale |in Juneau, such as okkoolehao from| |Hawaii, mescal and tequila from | Mexico, French wines and cham-| and brandies. i pagnes | | Fine Foods Available | The finest of food is likewise| available and at prices that are| {lower than thosé in the larger ho-| |tels in Seattle. Salad greens are| |found in grocers’ windows. Fine cheeses, the best-in,canned fruits| |and vegetables, all Sorts of fresh | fruits, vegetables, and meats are on display. About the only thing zms; |writer found a shortage in was| bananas. There were none to be| |had for weeks because the boats| from the south were too busy‘ |carrying materials and men. | | Only tires are rationed in Al-| |aska. Juneau and other Southeast |Alaska towns take full advantage| f‘or that fact. Their people live fast| |and high. Every one seems bent on| |having a good time. Children play in the streets un- | til midnight. Alacka residents told |me that the old timers in the Ter-| ‘ruory don’t even start to have a really good time before that hour. | Although the saloons close at mid-| | night, there are plenty of under-| |cover cabarets and bootleg joints | | where it is possible to continue the| celebration. On Douglas Island, |across Gastineau Channel from Ju- threw away the keys long ago. | There even uniformed men may |get anything they wish any hour of the day. Civilians Chief Celebrators | Juneau is not a boom town. Most jof the construction work in the! (area has been finished and the troops that supervised and did some of the building have been| |moved out. It is not the soldiery| |that paint the town red each night. There are soldiers and sailors among |them, of course, for Juneau is one |of the Territory's big “leave towns” where men are brought for short| |rests and relaxation before going! Willis R. Booth will\paok on active duty. The USO.| — right now is seeking to establish al 300- or 400-bed “leave hotel” in the| | town. | | The people who drink the lxquor, |and raise the roof in Juneau are| chiefly civilians, many of them old | residents from all walks of life. It| is the crossroads and meeting place1 of the north. , In the lounge of the Baranof | Hotel, an hostelry that would do |credit to a town of 150,000 popula- | tion, it is not at all unusual to see }a man in mukluks and parka, just in from the far north, sitting be-| |tween and talking to an engineer from Peru and a politician or mer- | chant in white tie and tafls. There’s Serious Business, Too | On the other side of the lounge will be found a group of art lovers from Washington or Neéw York studying intently the paintings of Sydney Laurence, famous English- | man who transplanted himself to| Alaska many years ago and did all his painting there. The lounge has |four of Laurence’s paintings, two| |of them veritable masterpieces. One |of these is prdbably the best of the| {many he did of Old Denali, Indian | for “the mighty one,” otherwise | {an entire bond issue, saving thou- |neau, are two notorious places that!| { THE DAILY ALASKA HWPJRE—JUNEAU ALASKA Wide l_ives High, Fast known as Mount McKinley. The |mountain fascinated Laurence and Ihe painted it more than a hundred times. The Baranof canvas is a giant—about four feet by six feet. Another, and perhaps the finest Laurence ever painted, it his “Van- ishing Race.” The light of the campfire at which an Indian squats |is so real that at first glance it seems it must be illuminated from behind. Under this surface of gayety and |artificially stimulated joy, how- ever, is the serious business of a |country at war and a town within the war zone The huge, sprawling Alaska- {Juneau mine, one of the few in the {world where the shafts go up in- stead of down, still operates at about.a fifth of its capacity, but |not for the gold that comes out of |it. They want the lead, now, that they used to throw away. Its mill also processes chromite brought |from the north. | Ready for Air Raids | If an alert sounds in Juneau dur- ing the day, within three minutes some 400 air raid wardens will be at their posts, trucks and delivery wagons will have been converted into ambulances, the Juneau com- pany of Territorial Guards will be | manning guns at strategic positions, | the town’s more than 600 school; children will be safely inside bomb | shelters, (one of which is bored} more than 100 feet into solid rock), | first aid workers will be ready at| more than a dozen stations. At| night it will take a few minutes longer, but not many. Most of these precautions have resulted from the hard labor of Mayor Harry I. Lucas, a Milkaukee~ an who went to Alaska in 1912 and, after serving in a number of civic and governmental capacities, was | elected mayor in 1938. As mayor and city manager he has refinanced sands of dollars in interest, and| has installed many modern im-' provements such as sewerage and, roads. One of his sons is married | and lives in Anchorage; the other has gone off to war. One of Mayor Lucas’' big head- | aches, however, is hiring and keep-| ing policemen. After two or three| weeks in Juneau, without seeing a: policeman, save of the military sort, I asked if the town had any. | “Yes, a couple,” said an old resi-| dent, operator of the biggest and | best fur store in the capital, “but| they can’t keep 'em. Not when theg! can get $18 to $25 a day on a con- | struction job some place.” { WEATHER REPORT (U. S. Bureau) Temp.
