PEARSON MAKES ANOTHER STRIKE EMPIRE lL 20 YEARS AGO #om, OCTOBER 4, 1929 Claude Baldwin and H. B. Crewson came in from Sitka on the steam- er Admiral Rogers. Among passengers leaving here for Seattle were Ralph W. Mize, Capt. and Mrs. Severin Swanson and Mrs. 8. J. Thompson. Ralph Mize, who graduated the previous spring from Oregon State College with a B. S. degree in electrical engineering, left for Pittsburgh, where he had accepted a position with General Electric Company. The Juneau Woman’s Club announced plans for monthly luncheon meetings to be held at Mrs. Hooker's Coffee Shop. New leaders of the club were Mrs. Harold Smith, President and Mrs. R. R. Hermann, Vice- President. H. L. Faulkner, President of the Chamber of Commerce, was {to be speaker at the first of these meetings, to be held the following | day. Wellman Holbrook, Land Examiner for the United States Forest | Service in the Alaska district, left Ketchikan for Seattle enroute to | walla Walla, Wash., for a 30-day visit with his mother. Mrs. Holbrook, who had spent the summer in Minnesota, planned to join him there. Last week in New York a 19-| year-old tax case netting Uncle| “We Can Wait” (Cincinnati Engquirer) Sam $2,000,000 was finally settled | THANKS, ELKS, TH On the counter of the business office of The | Daily Alaska Empire today is a beautiful bouquet of three dozen mums with “Congratu great.

And he was reappointed. This particular post of the FCC had to be filled by a Republican, and Tru- man sent Wakefield's name up to the Senate. Then, one day after President Truman made a speech at Prince- ton, June, 1947, urging young men to make a career of government service, he suddenly withdrew Wakefield’s name from the Senate. “There is a critical shortage of such men,” the President had told | the Princeton graduates, referring | to government servants. Then he went back to Washington and kmd‘ ed the appointment of a man who had spent 25 faithful years in gov- ernment service STEPPED ON TOES ‘Wakefield, just before his ap- pointment was withdrawn, had issu- ed a report which saved the Ameri- can public $2,500,000 a year in ra- dio and telegraph rates. Because of this and his consistent champ- ionship of lower rates fpr the pub- lic, the big radio and tommunica- tions companies did not like him On top of this he had ruled against giving a radio station to Speaker Sam Rayburn’s nephew at Hous- ton, Texas.

Is it correct, when one has finished eating, to fold up the napkin into its original creases before placing it back on the table? A. No; the napkin should be placed back on the table as it was used, and never folded. However, if one is a house guest and expects to have several meals, one should not expect a fresh napkin each time, but should fold it neatly each time and lay it beside the plate. Q. Should the water glasses be filled before the guests are summoned to the table for a luncheon? A. Yes, the glasses are filled and the butter is placed on the plates. Q. Is it all right to address the envelope of a letier to a man with- out using the title “Mr.”? A. Never; “Mr.” must be prefixed. "LOOK and LEARN ¥ | A. C. GORDON " | L. J 1.

Five others, including Sam Hayes, top west coast NBC newscaster, were injured in the crash Satur- day night. The plane was return- ing from the Stanford-Michigan football game at Palo Alto when ts gas supply ran out. James N. Peyton, regional' CAB chief, said: “Two-engine Cessnas of that type asually carry a pilot and four pas- sengers. This plane was carrying five passengers.” Hayes, 44, suffered minor in- juries. Hayes' wife, Sally, 28, suf- fered leg injuries. Frank Berend,! 36, National Broadcasting Sales Executive, sustained head injuries, and Jennings Pierce, 52, also a NBC executive, suffered a brain concussion. All were reported in “satisfactory” condition. Clark, 38, was a top recording and radio artist.
