proclamation:
Whereas the President of the
United States has, by proclama
tion, designated Thursday, Novem
bA* 25, 1948, as Thanksgiving Day;
And Whereas, our country is en
joying a period of great prosperity
in contrast with serious shortages
and continued malnutrition in
many lands overseas;
And, Whereas government agen
c i e s , voluntary agencies and
church groups are joined in an ef
fort to demonstrate the impartial
concern and the goodwill of Amer

placed persons of other countries,
in truly democratic fashion, by
seeing that some of the abundance
of American supplies are distrib
uted to those less fortunate in Eu
rope and Asia; »
And, Wheras the churches of
America through the Church
World Service are’united in a plea
that church groups and friends of
voluntary agencies give the equiv
alent of their Thanksgiving dinner
to he relief agency of their choos
ing for transmitting hope and
j courage to those in such desperate
straits overseas;
Now, therefore, pursuant to the
j President's proclamation, I, Lew
j M. Williams, Acting Governor of
I Alaska, do hereby proclaim Thurs

people of Alaska to extend their
generosity to the national move
ment to establish a lasting peace
and goodwill among all peoples by
giving of their bountiful abun
dance to the distraught of the less
fortunate countries.
In Witness Whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and affixed
the seal of the Territory of Alaska,
at Juneau, the Capital, this seven
teenth day of November, AD. nine
teen forty eight.
(SEAL*

Plan To Enlarge
Proposed Alaska
National Guard
ANCHORAGE, {JP)—A plan en
visioning an Alaska National
Guard nearly twice as large as one
originally proposed was announc
ed today by U. S. army officials
here.
The original proposal called for
two battalions of Alaska Scouts,
made up largely of natives from
outlying communities, and two in
fantry battalions from Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Seward, Kodiak, Cor
dova, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell, Pe
tersburg and Ketchikan.
Officials said the actual forma
tion of units would await federal
approval of the expanded pro
gram. They said they expect an
“appropriate” bill will be present
ed to the Territorial legislature in
January.
They declared approval of the
plan for two Scout battalions al
ready has been received from
Washington, D. C.
Lt. Col. Joseph * D. Alexander,
who is participating in the organ
ization of the guard, has conferred
with Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruening
and is directing surveys for possi
ble location of guard uni's in the
Terriotry. He is contacting govern
ors of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho in regard to guard organiza
ion in their states.

SEATTLE, f/P) — Owners of a
trawler which spent nine months
in the Bering Sea hunting giant
king crab claimed today that the
vessel’s catch topped all others

The trawler Deep Sea landed a
total of 189,000 pounds of crab
meat. Lowell Wakefield, prseident

the season topped that mark.
The Deep Sea shipped part of
its catch to the States earlier. It is

return to Seattle tomorrow for the
first time since she sailed away to
the Bering Sea nine months ago.
He said it will go north again j
