NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, - Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Due to a small group of hard workers with the right community spirit, and also to members of the armed forces who enjoyed the chance to repay Ju-j neau's hospitality, Juneauites had one of the best times ever over the last Independence Day weekend Members of the American Legion, the Moose, Elks, Rotary Club, the U. S. Army and U. S. Coast Guard, along with the business men who put up the money for the entertainment, deserve the thanks of the community for their efforts. Making the arrangements, and carrying them aut for such an oecasion is a thankless job on the surface, but we're sure that all of the people of Ju- neau appreciated the holiday festivit H.R. 2462 While the Department of the Interior investi- | gates the Senate bill which would make Alaska a state, Alaska Delegate Anthony J:. Dimond's propo- sal, HR. 2462, a bill which would give Alaskans the right to elect their own' governor, lies collecting dust committee. While both bills ca advantages for the Terri- tory, the measure which would grant statehood can well be held back until a thorough investigation is carried out. It is hard in to see, howver; why the bill intro- duced by Mr. Dimond has been pigeon-holed The Seattle Post Intelligencer, commenting both bills, has this to say on A Tlmel\ Step Whether Alaska is ready for statehood is a ques- tion that will have to be determined one of these days, presumably in the light of postwar conditions It is our judgment that the importance of the Ter- ritory on the world map of the future will be such that statehood will not be long delayed. Meanwhile, Alaska is patently ready for one im- mediate reform in its status. Alaskans should have the right to elect their ter- ritorial governor, as proposed in a bill introduced |by their Delegate in Congress, Anthony Dimond, fol- lowing a unanimous vote by members of the recent territorial legislature in favor of such action. As well pointed out in the Daily Alaska Empire, of Juneau, the bill represents the same principle of extending democracy among our own citizens that {is represented in Puerto Rico. President Roosevelt has specifically recommended that the organic law of that territory be amended by Congress to permit Puerto Ricans to elect their governor. Certainly, if the Puerto Ricans are ready for this lextension of self government, Alaskans are more than capable of determining for themselves who should serve as their chief executive officer. To per- mit them to make this determination would be a wel- {come and timely step on the path toward full state- hood. Drama of Production (Cincinnati Enquirer) One of the most dramatic stories to come out lof the war tells how American industry put into mass production, and shipped, newly designed sights for the United es Army’s super-gun, the clumsy- looking, effective-operating “bazooka.” In less than 20 days machines for these parts were set into op- eration and the sights were rushed to the battle- fields. How many Allied lives thus were saved, and how much the Allied cause was advanced can only be estimated - Representatives for two prime contractors were called by the Army and were told the importance of the new sights, which had been designed on the fields of North Africa by an American soldier. These contractors went at once into the field to seek plants where parts for the sights could be made—there were 16 of these parts. They found small plants, one of them on a chicken farm, talked to the owners -and sped them into production. They even drew on a high school principal and 26 of his teachers to aid with the vital job. In 14 days the sights were built and shipped; in 20 days they were blasting Axis tanks on the Tunisian battlefields. This story car and drama. The men and women who helped, could see the importance of the job they were doing; they could see the need for speed and care. Unfortu- nately these elements are not so apparent in the average work of the average worker on the civilian production line. Could that be true, all our prob- lems of war output, including strikes and absenteeism, would be solved forthwith. Fritz, a Dog for Defense, has been discharged from the Army as a pacifist. He wouldn't bite any- body. s all the highlights of romance | Robert Henning Mrs, James Orme Dale Fleek, Jr. Nathylie Bailey | Millie Jorgenson R. F. Lewiston Mrs. Ray Millison Ted D.
