NEWS ITEMS FROM SITKA (Special Correspondence) SITKA, Alaska, March 5—Snow is disappearing fast and bare ground looks wonderful—even if it is mud with bedraggled patches of butter- cup greens. First sight of earth we've had since December. At their regular day, councilmen suffered from higi blood pressure, verging on apopiexy, brought on by Public Health Nurse Mrs. Ella Muir. This meeting cli- maxed weeks of argument between meeting Tues- two opposing philosophies of life, with Mrs, Muir almost singlehand- edly and with grim determination fighting to change the thinking of a small Alaskan town. Some weeks ago, Mrs. Muir de- cided we must have a social wel- fare worker. Speaking before every local organization, over radio and at every possible gathering—as well as writing articles for the local paper, she published our sin and corruption. It was unhealthy to have our unclean corners brought into the light and everyone agreed that something should and could be done. But Mrs. Muir could not convince the community that a paid government worker should be the keeper of our morals and respon- sibilities. By Tuesday evening, when she appeared before the council to plead for the hiring of a welfare worker, Mrs. Muir must have been in a state of nerves—and by the time she was through with the council they, too, were fit to be tied. To their credit, they were gentlemen and heard her out though one of the audience did caution her to “button her lip” when she made insinuations about the Ministerial Association for not backing her pro- ject. Before the explosion, Council dis- cussed the tax rate and left it at {20 mills; Councilman McClain, re- porting on the vehicle ferry service to the Island said progress was be- ing made but procuring a suitable ferry would take time; sale of build- ings on the newly purchased site for the new school buildings was approved; City Clerk Calvin re- ported that negotirtions for the purchase of tideland for the boat Supervisor Ward was requested to should be destroyed so Council eould condemn them and arrange “l ! grid would soon be completed; City list the delapidated buildings which | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA $967.94 were approved.
