IT’S ALL BUNK If the Chamber of Commerce and others, peeved at the port commission, are sincere in wishing the commissioners elected at large, why didn't they advocate such a change be fore the last legislature? Why didn’t they come out in the open and ask that all the port commissioners should be elected at large, just like all of our councilmen are? Why did they come to the legis lature with their sneaking, skulking proposition to have some superior court judge APPOINT two additional members? The Chamber of Commerce did not concern itself then with the question of whether the port commissionets should be elected at large or by districts, Its chief purpose was to gain control of the commission by having two more commis- | sioners appointed. It did not even propose to have them elected until that amendment was forced upon President Chilberg by Senator Landon. The pretended excuse now offered by the Chamber of Commerce, that five commissioners are needed because it is desirable to have two members elected at large, instead of by ‘districts, is nothing more than buncombe. That is not the real purpose. If it were, the Chamber of “Commerce bill in the legislature, introduced by Senator Collins, would have called for the election of all the commissioners at large instead of attempting to get two new commissioners ‘APPOINTED. now waged by the chamber and The campaign the Harbor Island crowd is merely undertaken in the hope that in some way they will be able to control the two new members. That is the whole story in a nut- - shell. A TIP TO THE NEWLYWEDS Henry Brown's father and mother were married when the senior “Brown was earning $1.25 a day, with occasional lay-offs. They started housekeeping in two rooms. She did the housework, made and mend- ed the clothes, took care of the babies and by her capable ways “made it possible for her husband to lay something aside. Out of those carefully, painfully accumulated savings Henry was educated Henry expects to be married this June. | $25 a week. Hie girl is the sweetest creature on the f. @arth—in Henry's opinion—but she can't cook, she has to have a and she and Henry are planning to start in a classy apartment. ‘At the beginning their home will be sweller than that of the old folks ever was. _____ But we shall miss our guess if Henry, at the end of the first year, will have anything in the bank. Or at the end of the second third or tenth. Henry's father used to make a very satisfying meal on mush milk. Catch Henry doing that! He might, for sometimes men do hare ioned longings. But Henry's bride won't. Kump steak for A ride by rafl for even a few miles, especially for pleasuro, was ‘@m event in the lives of Henry's pa and ma.
