PAGE EIGHT ™*® FIRST PAYDAY FOR NATIONAL GUARD; 3 RECRUITS JOIN After the two-hour drill lasll night, there was great rejoicing in the Army Dock meeting quarters, as initial paychecks were issued to officers and men of Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the Alaska National Guard. It was the first payday youthful organization, and co\'cred‘v the first quarter of their service.! According to Lt. Col. J. D. Alexan-| der, Adjutant General of the AN.G., | the total payroll for the quarter| was $240.24. Individual checks, based on a full day's pay for the two- hour weekly drill, were according to rank and grade. Pay per night 220 JOB-SEEKERS ARE LISTED; MANY SKILLS REPRESENTED With 220 jobless with the Juneau office of the| Alaska Territorial Employment Service, Gus H. Gissberg, manager, | today issued a plea to prospective | empioyers “not to send outside for iabor.” | Most of the job-seekers are | ckilled men, and have lived here year or more, he said. Migratory workers are ‘“definitely” in the minority, he declared. For this time of year, the num- ber of jobless is not unusual, G Lerg pointed out, but is merel | local example of the peaks and valleys of Alaskan employment. | Skills of those registered include men_registered | for the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA KIWANIANS HEAR VIVID STORY OF PAT O'DONNEL If Pilot Francis “Dizzy” Brown- iield is thinking his way through every move before he makes it, as did his former passenger, Pat O'Donnell, he too may walk into civilization through the rugged wilderness country of the Tal- keetna. (Brownfield has been miss- ing for 71 days.) On his long journey of nearly a month, Pat O'Donnell made de- cision after decision, talking it over with"himself first and esti- mating results of every possible choice of action. Moreover, he preserved his. finc sense of humor, as evidenced in .his ranges from $2 for a recruit to| $12.83 for a major. The oath of enlistment was given ty Maj. Joseph A. McLean, com- | manding. to these young men, all| students of Juneau High 00l Ralph A. Treffers, Jr., 17; Charle B. Smith, 17; and Kenneth H. Hil- dreth, 18 Both Treffers and Smith ‘were born and reared in Juneau, while Recruit Hildreth has lived in the Territory for five years. He is a native of Idaho. These enlistments filled out the Headquarters Company enlisted | grades, but it is announced that men interested in belonging to the National Guard will have the op- portunity to join early in 1950, when the Rifle Battalion is to Le| formed. | The group was addressed by Col. E. F. Bullock, formerly of the Montana National Guard, who ex- plained how a Selective Service, section of a state headquarters is set up, and what duties are under active service. Colonel Bullock was active in this type of work inj Montana before World War II, and helped set up the machinery for| that draft. Lt. Dan Mahoney has been de- signated to set up a Selective Serv- ice section for the Alaska National Guard. those of carpentry, auto mechanic, | v equipment mechanic and op- rato mach’nist, administrative secretary, aeronautical draftsman, | powderman, accountant, truck| driver, electrical engineer, ware-| houseman, | salesclerk, telephone | operator, skipper, Loat engineer, and deckhands. SEASON LATER | A late start for seasonal indus- tries in the area this vear, Giss- Lerg said, has kept many seasonal | workers employed longer than usual, but layoffs and force re- ductions are now reflected in num- | Ler of workers available for work | now and during the latter part ot August. At that time, only 15 men were | registered with his office, he said, who were out of work. He stressed to Juneauites the im- | portance of hiring local men, rather | than seeking men from “outside.” | “There has been at times in re- cent years,” he pointed out, “a ten- dency of both private and goyv- ernment employers to recruit new workers from outside Alaska, when | it appeared no qualified workers were available locally. With the present number of skills represented by local applicants, the service urges employers to use its laclii- ties. | World War II veterans registered | | with him number 60, he said. He| | called attention to legislation giving | iqlm]lllod veterans preference in | government jobs. Among those on the interviewing | ' staff are Cort Wingerson and Jack | | Sturtevant, both of Juneau.

So he had meat for as long as he could carry it. After nearly three weeks, O'Don- nell reached the first of three cabins he was to use, all belonging to Oscar Vogel. From the third one, it took Pat four days to climb ana wade until he reached another tent and cabin, where there were really fine supplies. “I just sat down and really had a feast,” he said. A long trek remained, during which he had a narrow escape | while crossing a stream on a trec that beavers had felled. “In the maneuvering,” he said, slipped around and and I was left dangling “my gun caught, |over the water by one arm and one leg.

A man appeared, and words. “Man, that’s the most beautiful face I've ever seen!” exclaimed Pat. “The man told me I'd have to wade the river. Why, I was ready to drink my way across if I had to.” Pat walked into a roadhouse near Talkeetna, and made his way to a radio station to send word to his wife. Pilot Hudson picked him ur the next day, “and brought me in free of charge,” added O’Donnell The iost hunter points a real moral in the conclusion of his hour-long recording. “If you go out with a pilot,” he says, “insist matl was seeing there were brief he file a flight plan and stick to it.

AlSo, there is wisdom in his careful reasoning each time he was confronted with a problem. the possibility of breaking a'leg. “That would have 8th and E. Sts. Adults $2.00 been fatal,” he would say, and look for another way. O'Donnell described shells and markers he found at one spot and asks that anyone recognizing his description get in touch with Sta- tion KENI to tell him what part of the wilds he was in. Despite the poor quality of the recording, creating technical diffi- culties beyond even the control of expert Dick Garrison, the narrative was a real experience for eager- listening Kiwanians, Before luncheon and between reels, President Stanley Baskin brought up several matters of busi- ness, urged support of the A.C.C.A membership drive and introduced the one guest, the Rev. Jimmie sBoltpn, pastor . of the ' Baptist Church. Dr. H. C. Harrls yeported the progress of the Christmas seal sale. Plans were made to wind up -he drive this week.
