Sure, 1 know you've had to tighten your belt—for a long time you took it on the chin, and now you’re getting good pay. “That's O.K. with us soldiers. You've got your part to play, just as we have ours. You've got to make the stuff —and we've got to deliver it. “But just a second . . . maybe it’s none of our busi- ness, but, say, are you throwing your money around? “Here's something straight from the shoulder. You see, we soldiers want to feel that we're not fighting alone —that you’re behind us—every one of you, man, woman and youngster. “How? Listen . . . “How many WAR BONDS are you buying? Are you in on the Payroll Savings Plan? If you're not, you'll get in—won’t you? This is your war—isn’t it? W e're fighting for you, aren’t we? EVERYBODY — EVERY PAYDAY “So look . .. When they come around to you, at your job, and ask you to put aside TEN PERCENT of your earnings every payday—a dime from every dol- lar—you’ll do it, won’t you—for us? “You'll get a WAR BOND every time you've saved $18.75—and that Bond will build up, year by year, to $25 in ten years. “So you're helping us and protecting yourself at the same time by your savings. Can’t beat that, can you? “We've got to have guns and planes, and tanks, and ships and bullets—and yox've got to pay for them— from your own, voluntary W AR BOND savings. “Invest a dime from every dollar in #s—and keep it up, week after week, month after month. Give us the things we need o fight — that’s all we ask. Then count on us to blast hell out of the Japs, the Huns, and their whole bloodthirsty gang. “0.K., Bud—now let’s go!” ; 107« WAR BONDS THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—]JUNEAU ALASKA CORP.

WERE NOT UNFAIR ;More than 33 Percent Loss [ in Produce Shipped i fo Juneau George Brothers, Juneau grocers |now facing an OPA suit for an al- ‘lvgrd overcharge on shipments of iproduce to a Skagway contractor, said today that due to war condit- |ions the loss in shipments of pro- duce to Juneau from the points of origin has been found to be more than 33 percent in shrinkage, re- Cummings is with | President Roosevelt makes no prom- | packing and trimming, and for that reason the price schedules set by the OPA on such produce may not be applied here as in the States. The company said the OPA office in Juneau had been informed of | this in a letter sent July 26, but that the letter had not been acknowledg- ed by the OPA. The letter, writ- ten by Joe George, a partner, fol- lows: | “I was quite surprised to find that |the USED refused to pass on the in- voice of BPC, dated February 18th, |because of prices. It so happened at different times while I had been |trimming vegetables for display, I had called Mr. Fagerson’s attention to our loss in trimming. At times I have found the loss to us to be over 33%. The gther day I bad taken your employee down to our warehouse to show him the loss we ywill take in repacking of oranges. Conditions here in this country are |different than the States. The re- tailer outside can order his goods every morning and it is delivered to him free of charge the same day.

The boats are o overloaded with freight that they wre not given proper care as before he war. “Now we will go back to February f this year. The celery is shipped rom Florida sent to Seattle prob- ably lays on dock for day or so, then s shipped up here, and another four or five days on way. We then must zeep it for another two weeks. This must be repacked for shipment and we will take 25% to 30% loss on re- packing. The lettuce is shipped from Imperial Valley in iced cars to Seattle, then from Seattle to Ju- eau, taking from two to three weeks )y the time we get them. We in urn must repack this again taking rom 25% to 30% loss in trimming. Cauliflower and cabbage are the ame. Carrots the shrinkage is ter- rific, onions keep sprouting so that he loss in trimming and repacking will run from 15% to 20% and also replacement of rotten ones. Pota- oes are shipped in from Idaho due o scarcity of Yakima potatoes and he replacement of shrinkage and culls will run from 15% to 20%. Apple prices have been terrible. Never in history of grocery busi- ness have I seen prices so high. In the past few weeks we have paid $6.25 box FOB Seattle. The apples have been carelessly graded due to scarcity of labor at orchards. We then must repack them on account | of replacement of rotten ones, The | orange. crop runs twice a year; | Navels, picked in November, Val- ing on account of trimmings and replacement of rotten goods and the ¢ condition the commodities arrive here. The steamship company passes the buck on to the War Ship- ping Administration, we have yet to collect anything on perishable goods spoiled by the steamship company since the war started. Taking into consideration the distance the com- modities are shipped from the time they leave orchards and farms until arrival here is between two or three weeks or more. We have paid as high as $12.50 per crate for celery just a short time ago. If it wasn't for the terrific loss in handling fresh vegetables we would be able to sell canned goods 15% cheaper. “1 checked over very carefully the invoice of BPC Febr y 18th and find the prices very fair and in fact, the prices on some of the commod- ities should have been charged higher. The last trip of the motor- ship, Silver Wave, we received 5 crates of cantaloupes costing us $62.50. We salvaged at the most $4.00 out of the whole shipment and ¢ the balance was a total loss. “The fruit and vegetable business is a headache no matter how you look at it. I have managed the fruit and produce department since 1923 and found that the only way one can run it is not from a swivel chair but by working at it. I know because I have tried it and it wouldn't work.
