NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. DR. W. W. COUN CIL Juneau and all of Alaska Saturday lost a splendid physician, a worthy public servant and a good friend in the death of Dr. Commissioner of Health for the Territory, friend in Walter W. Council, genial and able need to many an ailing Alaskan, fisherman who will be remembered on many a hunting | and fishing trip to come. “Doc” Council had been a familiar figure to all Alaskans for the last 37 years. He came to Alaska as a youth of 24 in 1906, less than a year after he was graduated with honors from the University of Vir- ginia's medical school, and with a degree of Doctor of Philosophy obtained at the University of North Caro- lina. For a young man of 24 to have received two degrees from two institutions of higher learning, in- | PhD. and MD, was no small cluding that of accomplishment. “Doc” Council could have made a big niche for himself Oustide—but he chose Alaska and Alaskans can thank “Doc” for 37 years of service to humanity in the Northland which has become a better place to | live, because of this. For the last 10 years he had steered the course for the Territorial Department of Health, as well as attending to a large private practice, It will be indeed difficult to choose from Alaska’s list of resident prac- ticing physicians a successor for this post, so important at this time. He had a common sense and human touch that made him a good administrator as well as a good physician and surgeon. and a hunter and | During a recent session of the Territorial Legis- lature the House of Representatives was discussing a bill which would require, among other things, that persons intending to marry submit to an examination determining their sanity, and Dr. Council was called to testify, During a lull in the interrogation, he re- marked in a stage whisper to the speaker of the House that perhaps the sanity of anyone applying for a license to wed might be questioned. “Doc” had a wealth of material on the lore of fishing and hunting tucked away in his head. He could get fish when they just weren't there to anyone else, and the elusive wild geese were always easy prey for “Doec.” At every gathering, whether a Rotary Club luncheon, Chamber of Commerce, or Elks meet- ing, “Doc's” table or corner of the room was always well-populated. Onee-in-a-while a great man comes along, a man who is not only great because he is wise and can do great things, but a man who is also human, so human that it is difficult to see the value while he is with us.’ “Doc” Council is dead as a man. But “Doc” Council belongs to that part of Alaska that will always live. He was, and always will be a part of Alaska. “Doc" was happy at the helm of his boat, and he loved the feel of the kick of a shotgun. He was also, a poet, although many of his friends didn't renliza that he wrote poetry. We know that the following few lines were familiar to “Doc” and appropriate— from Robert Louis Stevenson's “Requiem and Epitaph”: Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live, and gladly die, And T laid me down with a will. ‘This is the verse you grave for me: “Here he lies, where he longed to be; Here is the sailor, home from the sea, And ‘the hunter home from the hill.” Good Names, Good Ships (New York Times) New Liberty ships are to carry the names of twelve American newspaper and radio correspondents who have lost their lives in this war. Two of these | men were on the staff of The Times. Byron Darnton died on the New Guinea front a year ago this week, | in an accident attendant upon the kind of action he was covering. Robert P. Post was one of a group of correspondents taken on a raid over Wilhelmshaven | | last February. His plane did not return. Death| came to other correspondents in various ways. They had risked it gladly to bridge the gap between the fighter and the people at home. In one of his last| dispatches Mr. Darnton had written of soldiers “building with blood, sweat and toil the firm resolu- | tion that their sons shall not die under bombs but | shall have peace.,” Much of our reporting has beem done in that spirit, by these men who gave thelr‘ lives and by others who daily risk them, As much as anything that man builds, a ship | stands for courage and a sense of duty. In dangerous | waters and under perilous skies a good ship holds its ! 1cou|se All those who follow loyally the trade of | gathering and presenting news will think it fitting that these ships should carry the names of “Barney’ | Barnton, “Bob” Post and the others. May the ships | all come safe to port, but whether safely is their fate | or not may they, in the brave spirit of the old Greek eplmph still set sail.

Reybolds HOROSCOPE “The stars incline' but do not compel” 3, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 Benefic ~aspects ruling today should be fortunate for men in au- thority. There is a promising sign ifor publishers. HEART AND HOME:Wives of men in the armed forces should benefit in coming weeks. Today should be a happy one for many, because messages from far places Imay be received. It should be a lucky day for those seeking new dwellings and leases signed on this date should bring favorable envir- onments. Domestic machinery should run smoothly under this configuration which seems to pres- age ability to obtain service in the household. The seers forecast for the future the management, of households by scientific specialists. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: A virtual partnership between labor and cap- ital is inevitable in the future, ac- cording to a reading of the stars. Government which during the war has been Yorced to dictate to busi- ess and take over responsibilities usually borne by private enterprise must relinquish its temporary au- thority. The American way of con- ducting business will be re-estai- lished, it is predicted, although there will be many attempts to en- well as Government direction of certain of our great industries. NATIONAL ISSUES: Concern re- garding the immensity of our na- tional debt will encourage closer Congressional examination of ex-| penditures, it is forecast. Tax de-! |mands and growing budgets will cause investigations with a view of | making sweeping economies. Con- | sciousness of war conditions will increase in the face of various | Winter emergencies. Citizens will question causes of lack of supplies land will deplore waste with re- Inewed emphasis, it is predicted. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Neptune in square to the Sun has been responsiblé for Japan's various |defeats in 1943, astrologers state.

With the entire cast in action,‘the first complete rehearsal of “The Beauty Shop” was held by Director Lewis in the auditorium of the Elks’ Hall. The show, to be presented by local actors, was to be given within a few days at the Coliseum Theatre. To formerly transfer the Chichagof mining property from the Chichagoff Mining Company to the Chichagof Development Com- pany, James L. Freeburn, representing the old concern and George T. Jackson, General Manager of the new company, left the previous night for Chichagof. The trip was being made on the mine tender Chichagoff. George Simpkins was a passenger south on the Princess Mary and expected to be absent from Juneau for about two weeks. He was to visit and were to arrive on the Admiral Rogers. Frank A.
