THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE —JUNEAU, ALASKA PAGE THREE ettt e et THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1945 POSSIBLE PRO PIGSKIN TITLE PREVIEW SEEN Charity Exhfiafion Tonight| Redbird Farmhand Deliv- Pitting Pair of Top Confenders PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13—The champion Green Bay Packers put their professional football prestige on the chopping block tonight when they tackle the Philadelphia Eagles in a charity game. To more than 21,500 servicemen, many of them amputee cases, the gridiron clash promises to serve as a morale builder. Theyll be on hand to watch Jack Sanders, who lost part of his left arm while serving as a Marine Lieutenant on Iwo Jima, start at left guard for the Eagles. He'll play with a spe- cially constructed steel brace cover- ing the lower part of his arm. It is possible that the contest will be a preview of the play-off finale of the league this fall. Both teams have displayed power in previous exhibition games. The Packers slapped the College All- Stars down by a count of 19 to 7, while the Eagles clawed the Detroit Lions last Sunday, 35 to 7. e DOUGLAS NEWS DOUGLAS CHAMBER MEETS The Douglas Chamber of Com- merce held a special meeting last evening to act on pressing com- munications. Three proposals we! acted upon favorably. First: That the Douglas chamber work in con- junction with other Southeast Al- aska chambers in furthering the extension of the Glacier Highway, with the eventual aim of connect- ing Juneau and Douglas with Skag- way, and thence with the Alaska Highway proper. Second: That the Douglas chamber go on record as favoring the suspension of the Jones Act (which prohibits Can- adian vessels from moving freight cargoes to Alaska ports) perman- ently, or until other American com- petitive lines are established. Third: That the Douglas chamber mem- bers favor the Ketchikan proposal that Gov. Ernest Gruening appoint a committee of unbiased Alaska members to study the problems, pro and ccn, on statehood for Al- aska, and that the findings of this committee be made available to all voters before the referendum vote on statehood is held. | Four new members were voted on and . accepted to membership at last evening’s meeting, as follows: | Hi Seaman, Thomas Jensen, Tony | Reiss and James S. McClellan.| Lawrence Wilcox was also intro-| duced as a new member, having| been admitted since the last regu- lar meeting. | Delegate E. L. Bartlett was the chamber’s special guest of the evening, this being his first visit at a Douglas Chamber of Com- merce meeting. DRUNK, DISORDERLY Harry Olds, of Juneau, was con- fined to the city jail last evening on a drunk and disorderly charge. | Magistrate Jensen pronounced a| $25 fine, plus costs, and a 30-day suspended sentence in city court this morning. The defendant was released on payment of fine and| costs. FIREMEN TO MEET A regular monthly meeting of the | Douglas Volunteer Fire Department; will be held this evening in the; city hall. President Earl Miller an- nounced that all members are| urged to be present at this meeting. | Refreshments will be served. MRS.

A scheduled second game was rained out. Hank Wyse made sure the Bruins wouldn’t lost any ground by blank- ing the Phillies, 4-0, on seven hits. It was his first victory in a month.

Five big games with the Bengals over the weekend in the nation’s capital probably will decide the issue. Roger Wolff pitched and batted tke Senators to a 5-1 triumph over Cleveland in an arc-light , game witnessed by General Jonathan M. i ght, the hero of Corregidor.

An ex-service man doesn’t to be completely unemployed aw the GI Bill's readjustment wance. Suppose he's employed part time at less than 23 dollars a week—has time job that pays say 17 Well, he can collect the ach week between 17 dollars. That means e can get his $17 a week part time pay and another $6 tyom the govern- m to bring the total to $23. If he a full time job, however, at k he can't collect the ex- part dcllar difference and $17 a tra But w money something the vet- who employed part time 1 know about. To get at it, an example of two ex-service for a change—ex-WAC Mary and ¢x-WAVE Jane. Let's assume length of service was the same they-re both entitled to 40 weeks of readjustment wllowance. If Mary has nc job and can't find a able one she can draw $20 a week readjustment allowance, Jane Fas a part time job ‘paying $17 a week, so she can draw $6 a week readjustment ellowance—the differ- ence between $23 and $17 a week. Cupposg they each draw these al- lowances for 6 weeks and then get good fulltime jobs. Then both have used up 6 full weeks of the 40 waek: they are entitled to. Yet Mary has drawn $120 in the same six weeks that Jane drew ony $36 there's is their S0 that's what I mean when I say there's something a party-time em- ployed veteran should know about. Eoch ex-service person is entitled to a certain number of weeks of read- justment allowance—maximum is 52 wecks. Therefore, if a veteran puts in a claim for readjustment allow- ance for any week (and dra the allowance) it crosses one week off the blackboard, even though the amount drawn is not the full week- ly allowance. Most service people know that many states have their own laws pro- viding for unemployment compen- ation. Often it's possible for vet- erans, who have no work or who Icse their job, to qualify for state mployment compensation. To End Sept. 30 ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 13—Con- trols over the distribution of lumber will end Sept. 30, the War Production Board announced. The agency said military require- ments have declind so sharply since the end of the war that lumber no longer is a critically short supply. The action has no immediate ef- fect on home building. This is reg- ulated by another order, which is expected to be relaxed or revoked within the next few weeks. §" GUIDE OMAS M. NIAL P i \ ) N l} ) \ ) Of course, some veterans argue that the state law pays only maybe $15 or $16 a week—but the Federa GI Bill allows $20 a week. That can be true. % But an unemployed ex- can draw say $15 under the provis- jons of the state law and then draw an extra $5 a week from the Fed- eral set-up for vets. Ye though that's pessible and legal, it isn good idea, because the veteran would be using up some of his al- lowable weeks provided in the GI Bill—even though he wouldn't be geiting the full m allowance, Yau have until two years after the end of the war to aj for your readjustment allowance if you need it. rVic man - o WETTRICK TALKS OUT AT SEATTLE | ON AIR ROUTES SEATTLE, Sept. 13.—The proposed eir route to Alaska from Chicago via Edmonton, Alta., was described | es the “wasteland route” yesterday by Attornoy Samuel J. Wettrick, Ccunsel for the Pacific Northwest Oriental Airline committee. | Such a route could only ‘“enable 2go {nd New York to take from region the business that has through the Seattle-Tacoma gatoway for years,” Wettrick declar- ed at a committee meeting. Air Vi~ Marshal G. R. Howsam, C. B, M. . Royal Canadian Air! Fcree, a Seattie visifor, told re- porters he would discuss the cross- Cinada route if permitted to men- tion both advantages and disadvan- tages. He cited, of the latter, the neces- sty of supplying airports along the! rcute by a costly highway, the fact that gasoline and other supplies would cost more, and that there was little population in the region and small likelihood of appreciable econ- | omic development, Its advantages, Howsam said, were shorter distance from the Ameri- can East and Middle West, many emergency landing fields, excellent | airports at Edmonton, Grand Prairie, | Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Watson | Lake, Whitehorse and Fairbanks. | MORE SH SHOES " FOR ALASKA ORTLAND, O Seyth. 13— More than 1200 pairs of shoes will | { be shipped from here to Alaska this week, trade sources hav2 announced, | | A now cancelled order preventing shipment of shees from the main- | had held up the 500 pairs a week | land without receiving ration stamps \lnmmuny shipped to Alaska from herz. - Empire Want-ads lin> in Puget Sound since September — . 9 weuld reopen at midnight tonight.
