The National Opinion Research Center of the University of Denver has released two studies \\'hich} | himself to Alaskans everywhere, both on his many reveal an ignorance of the Bill of Rights and the free The simply what similar studies have shown for some time press guarantee results of the studies show ~that the general public is ignorant of its rights. | Some ‘label such ignorance as “amazing.” However, it seems to be usual these days. The Research Center reports that 23 percent of the people interviewed gave responses indicating a reasonably accurate idea of the content of the first 10 to the Constitution of the United States. amendments In other words, more than 75 percent of the peole | apparently do not know what the Bill of Rights is and what it contains, identify it, Fifteen percent gave confused, unsat- isfactory or entirely incorrect identifications, In other study, the Research Center found that 30 percent of the people did not think newspapers should be allowed to criticize our form of government in time of peace. The 66 percent who thought news- papers should be permitted this criticism in peacetime is a large majority. Nevertheless, 30 percent of our population is a large portion not to know what freedom of the press stands for. Four percent were undecided on the question. ‘That any part of the citizens of the United States cognizant of the basic freedoms guaranteed them is a sad commentary on our educational is not to system A Toast to a Friend of Alaska (Alaska Weekly) Most of the things that appear to editorial writers as worthy of discussion are of a controv It becbmes hard to write of things or persons where no argument could possibly be involved. However, we had occasion this morning to make a call on a person, to whom for the past fourteen years, we have never turned for informatioh or helpfulness within his ability to extend without receiving unfailing courtesy, the desired information and access to'a wealth of information regarding Alaska, Alaska people and business, and the relationship between Alaska problems and the problems of Alaska’s closest partner, Seattle, Consequently, we came back to the office imbued with the idea of proposing a little toast to one ¥oster L. McGaovern, A: tant Manager of the Seattle Cham- ber of Commerce and manager of that organization’s Alaska department. “Terry,” as he is known to most Seattle business- men and to a host of Alaskans scattered from ope end of the Territory to the other, came to the Seattle Chamber quite awhile ago—in 1927 to be exact. Five years later, when Charlie Garfield left the Alaska | Department of the Chamber, “Terry” became secretary 1 of that vital department. In the intervening twelve years he has endeared 3 trips to the Territory and by his helpfulness to visiting | Alaskans. The Alaska Committee of the Seattle | Chamber has come to be, under his guidance, a veritable Territorial Chamber of Commerce, whose | function has been to ascertain the wishes of Alaska through the various chambers of the Territory and | then try to translate those wishes into action. | In 1938 he was made Assistant Manager of the | Seattle | only served to make him more valuable to his Alaska | friends and have not detracted in the slightest from | his willingness to give unstintingly of his time and | effort to any project which Alaska favors.

The cruiser Richmond was leav- ing port this day in advance of a dozen ships which were to be statioried on the route between England, Scotland, Orkney Islands, Iceland, Greeh- land and Labrador To study local conditions affecting the market for Alaska coal, R. W. Calderhead, representing the Evan Jones Coal Company of Jonesville, Matanuska Valley, arrived in Juneau from Seattle. He was expected to remain here about a week meeting local coal consumers and conferring with local dealers. Orders had been issued by teh Game Conservation Board of British Columbia for the establishment of game sanctuaries on the Taku and stikine river watersheds above the Alaska-Canadian boundary An active campaign was started this day by the Board of Directors of the Southeast Alaska Fair Association to float its $12,000 bond issue to be used in the erection of a Fair Building in this city. In this was to housed the annual Fall fairs which had become an assured event here and had been held on an increasing scale for the previous three years. With rain falling steadily during the early part of this afternoon and no indication of a break in the weathre before evening, the baseball game scheduled for this night between the American Legion and the Moose clubs in the City League had been called off.
