NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Blde., Seattle, Wash. ANOTHER PROBLEM With the extraordinary ion of the Seventeenth Legislature nearing the half-way mark, more 50 bills have been tossed into the crowded hopper of the House and the Senate trails with about 20 pro- posed measures. This session apparently was called for the purpose of considering emergency legislation, 50 the people must take it for granted that all of these proposed bills are of the utmost importance to the people of Alaska. We've been shivering in our boots for fear the thing will be carried so far that some legislator will come up with a bill to appropriate funds for the relief of people without toothbrushes. And its really amazed us, with all of this other important leglislation going in that some legislator hasn't run across the article in the March issue of the American Dental Association which contends that half the American people do not brush their tceth—and half don't even own a tooth- brush. A shocking situation! Accordnig to the writer, only 185,300,000 toothbrushes were manufactured in than the United States during 1944 and only 106,000,000 of | these were available to civilians. The author of the article figures that it would have taken 200,000,000 toothbrushes to supply two brushes a year to everyone in the nation between the ages of 2 and 60, apparentiy the toothbrushing years. This is startling' deduction—that even in the countered the Du The Washington Mgly-fio-kound (Continued from Page One) Gardner, the Southern dear,” pol didate, you must peal to the ultimate hope of the ., ...7 ‘ten you t| Nation.

And, since I am not a can- th you and the Duke, we feel we are talking in the presence of ing tcothbrushes to those unfortunates who are with- out. The bill could also set up a Board of Toothbrush Examiners and a crew of inspectors.

The announced Navy Depart- | ment plan for an organized reserve of 200,000 men and a voluntecr reservoir of 800,000 more fills in a gap that has existed heretofore in our first defens The Naval Reserv to the Navy what tk force contemplated would be National Guard has been and, | greatly enlarged, will be to the Regular Army in the | | years to come.

They probably uld not be prepared as groups to take a ship to| ea, but they could be interspersed through the fleet | | with trained crews without the of efficiency thm} would result had they been receiving no training at; all through the years | We need cnly recall the disaster of Pearl H:n'h:.r: to realize the need of such a trained reserve. Admiral Kimmel testified at the Pearl Harbor inquiry that the { principal reason he had not inaugurated a full air and sea search in the days immediately preceding dw: Japanese attack was because it would have necessitated a heavy curtailment of the training program on which he was then engaged and which he considered UH‘ paramount importance. A reservoir of 1,000,000 partly ! trained men preceding the war with Japan would have made unnecessary the chances that were taken in fighting ships with large percentages of almost wholly untrained personnel. The heavy cruiser Salt Lake City, for example, fought the unequal Battle of the Komandorskis with a ctew that was over 50 per cent green men. Many of them never had been to except for the brief trip from the West Coast to Hono- Julu, until they boarded the Salt Lake City and headed north for the longest surface engagement of modern naval warfare, which came within three weeks of their first sea dut As every athletic coach knows, a successful season of play depends as much on the strength of his rves (as on the 11 of his first team. That applies .even more to warfare, and especially to naval warfare, where long training is required for nearly every special job aboard ship. After a war begins is not soon encugh to begin the training. The proposed Naval Reserve Training Program would keep us always pre- pared.

One of these is Josephus Daniels, ex- Secretary of the Navy, who for years has attacked the “Gardner Machine,” which has appointed Jjudges, elected governors and put! Max’s own brother-in-law in the Governor's mansion and the Sen- ate. Sometimes after Josey blasted Max with his mos ing editorials, Govern Gardner would inv to dinner. Josephus would say grace, t yould forget the edi- 1 bl ie morning paper, and all would be pleasant—for the had scorch- | and Mrs. ! the Daniels | have passed, Joseph- | Max Gardner have Lecome better friends. And when you look around at the public schools of North Carolina, its high Iiteracy, its tolerance, you have to conclude that either the Gardner machine ot the way Josephus Dan- jels has kept it on its toes, or poth, have been a healthy thing DUCHESS OF WINDSOR Despite the fact that he has re- presented Coca Cola, Pan American Airways and various shipping lines, Max Gardner has become more li- beral with the years. But he has never lost his Southern charm and his ability to understand people. One day the Duchess of Windsor, meeting Gardner on one of her Washington visits, exclaimed: “Oh, it was so nice Annapolis, just as beautiful and charming as in the old days. It hasn't changed a bit.” To which Max replied: “Lady, there is nothing remarkable about the unchanged beauty of Annapo- lis. T just heard a friend of yours remark that he hadn’t seen you for ten years and that you were just as lovely and beautiful and unchanged as before you met the King of England”. “I wish I could believe you,” at FAMILY TRAGEDY Gardner has never run for fice or wanted public office sin he left the Governor's mansic North Carolina. He was several jobs by President Roosevelt out turned them down, preferring o spend whatever spare tim> he had on his front porch at Shelby, N. C., in an old rocking chair giv- en to him by the negroes of Sheiby 35 years ago when they contributed 20 cents each to buy him a wed- ding present. But recently a Max of his eldest robed 1t tragedy son, James. | was a bitter blow. James had been he manager of the Gardner rayon mills near Shelby. The other boys were all away in the armed servic- es, and there was no one left in the family to car on. This lad to rumors that the mill wonid be cold. At this point, Max Gardner post- ed notice in his mill—a nctice a | “1t was the pride and joy of - | James Webb. ‘Deeker’ as you called | him, to feel a deep interest in ev- | ery employee of this Mill and fo | know them by their first names and | to regard them as one large fam- ily. I hope and pray that this fine human relationship will be main- tained. “I regret that James Webb did not live to announce an agreed policy that commences Feb. 4. There will be a wage increase of 15 percent, effective as of that date” Having posted this notice, Max Gardner finally yielded to the urg- ing of his old friend, Secretary of the Treasury Vinson, to become Under Secretary of the Treasury and help him run the difficult, ail- important fiscal policies of the Na- tion. Despite the lack of Senatorial neadlines, it was one of the best appointments Harry Truman has made. (COPYRIGHT, BELL SYWDICATE, INC. 1946) ACROSS raw hat Live Away trom the mouth .
