NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. CIVIC SPIRIT Juneau has been charged with being lacking in the civic spirit and pride to make it a prosperous and progressive community. ~ If civic spirit means that upon hearing a person make derogatory remarks about their fine community the citizens ride that person out of town on a rail, then perhaps Juneau is lacking in civic spirit or civic pride. 1f, on the other hand, the people are able to work together on a project such as the recently concluded | Pourth War Loan Drive, and provide the civic spirit for buying not only the paltry $315,000 worth of War Bonds which had been assigned as the quota, but miore than $663,000 worth-—then this community is not lack- ing in civic spirit. This was not an easy task because Juneau is not a boom town. These bonds were not purchased by war workers and other “Outsiders” who are making plenty of easy money, but by Juneauites and Douglas- ites who wanted to make a showing for their com- munity. Not miners, keepers bought these bonds. and Douglasites bought them. This was a community project and it was carried out very nicely. "It is very true indeed that Juneau lacks many, many things which other cities Outside offer their citizens. But it is also very true that Juneau offers many advantages which it did not offer to its resi- dents in earlier days. And the same thing goes for all of Alaska. Alaska is still a young country and $0 is Juneau a very young city, comparatively speaking. Juneau is not perfect by any means. There is much reom for improvement. Juneau does, however, have some things to com- not Government people, not mend it. It has a fine outdodor playground with a swimming ‘pool and modern tennis courts. It has good schoold, and what is also important, good s TR LT e would have known that, further along, he Nashinglon 50-Round (Conuinuea 1:om Page One) bad. | that day. able in the country as far as the| independent is concerned.

The latter are very scarce in many com- munities Outside today and schools are very crowded as a result. It has one of the most modern and finest hotels on the Pacific Coast -a hotel which might have been erected in another Alaskan city if the business- men in those cities had the civic spirit, faith in their cities’ futures and the “guts” to invest in such a venture. It has many paved streets instead of slippery plank streets on piling and dusty lanes. It has not one industry, even though the Alaska Juneau mine is the largest in normal times when it is allowed to run its own business without government interference— but it has a large cold storage plant, a sawmill, a fine lumber yard, two newspapers and a radio station as well as the Government workers. All of which is not too bad for a city of its size. It does need a good library as well as a new city hall and the city government is laying away funds for this purpose and the plans are being drawn. Other buildings in the city are old and other plans are being made for new buildings, and the money is being put aside. It is true that the children in Alaskan cities, especially those which have plenty of liquid sun- shine, need places where they may work off their energy. An indoor swimming pool and an artificial indoor ice skating rink would help. Football, however, as a competitive sport between schools can be played in rain or shine. The trouble at present is that travel difficulties and the distance between schools would knock inter-school football games for a loop and that would be taking the joy out of football. Small schools, tht is, those with low enrollments, also would have a tough time finding 11 strong men to make a football team—finding five for basketball is tough enough. The suggestion that an indoor ice skating rink could be put to advantage is well taken. However, these things are not offered even in the States “for free,” and neither indoor swimming pools or outdoor pool such as the one ‘Juneau offers. But a privately-sponsored indoor ice skating rink might be a worthwhile venture here. A first-class marine ways is also a project which Juneau businessmen could well afford to sponsor. There is no guestion but what a planning agency could be put to good use in Alaska. Not so very long | ago we had a brancli of the National Resources Plan- ning Board here, and the sudden evacuation has never been fully explained, nor was there any objection m] its removal, as we remember, from any soyrce except this newspaper. Some persons are under the im-| pression that this agency ‘is no longer operating. | However, this is not so. When Congress cut off its' funds it was simply taken into the State Depnrtmemi and continues to function. The agency’s removal from Aaska at this vital time when planning is needed still | remains an unexplained mystery. There is a reason | for everything. | We fail to share the fears that Juneau is headed for the last roundup. In spite of the fact that the Government is doing its best to shut down our largest | peacetime industry, we believe this. Juneau'’s business- | men do not fear for the future because most of them are prepared or ar preparing themselves for it. They do not shout about it as much as those in other ! cities because they are not like small boys whismng in the dark. Neither do we need the wishful thinking from | other cities which probably because they fear the future speak aloud their wishes for the transfer of | the capital from Juneau to those cities. Our civic | pride places this point beyond consideration. We appreciate and commend the recent criticism because such remarks often hasten the incubation | | period for germs of new ideas. | Juneau has been “shot in the arm” by an experl\ are | { and we hope the inoculation will “take.” | a little [to St. Ann’s Hospital where he will went on to ex-|receive medical care.

HEART AND HOME: Manual dexterity, once again in vogue pe-! cause of war activities, will prove of lasting value to American womel Astrologers say their amazing ef- ficiency. will bring happiness to thousands of households. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wartime prices will cause anxiety among far- mers and manufacturers but pros- perity will continue. Millions of wage-earners will give little heed to the possibilities of evil portents on | the morrow. NATIONAL ISSUES: Heavy storms will cause severe losses of city property and will demonstrate, in country areas, the need of bet- ter care of livestock. Fires will be numecrous, according to certain signs. Incendiaries will be apprehended after a costly conflagration in an eastern town. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers again stress the point the Axis. The /most intense offensives are impera- tive from now until June, at which time the United Nations may be forced to slow their momentum. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a yvear of average good luck after delays and handi- caps. An upheaval of some sort is forecast. Children born on this day will probably be ambitious, sensitive and jover-generous. They are apt to be quick—tempercd tcopyngh 1944| WED YESTERDAY AT RUSSIAN CHURCH Fedosia Merculieff, of St. Paul Island, and Claude L. Johnson, of Seattle, were married yesterday by the Rev.
