If von are a self-made man,
the question is—how good a
job did you do?
Doctors claim you don’t get
ulcers from what you eat, but
from what eats you.
A good political leader must
keep ahead of several crowds,
each going in a different direc
tion.
No home is complete without
a few highbrow books around
to impress your friends.
For every man who chisels
out a career, there are many
others who just chisel.

A story to be found elsewhere
in today’s issue gives the recall
plans for Naval Reservists. It is
estimated that there are at least
25 men in Seward who will fall
into one or more of the categor
ies named for recall. Many of
these young men are now mar
1 ried with young families, but
without the four dependents re
quired to give them exemption
from recall to active duty,
i With the draft calling from
six to ten other young men into
service each month, one begins
to wonder what is going to hap
pen to the heavy work load
1 scheduled for this port during
the next year.
There seem to be only three
alternatives. Either build dormi
j lories to furnish housing and
mess facilities for outside labor,
build low rent housing for labor
' ing families (also to come from
the States), or try to have this
1 area declared an essential indus
, try center to keep our own men
at work.
Highway construction is to be
pushed to the limit of capacity
in the next construction season.
With the experience of Outsiders
during the season just past, when
men came by the thousands and
found themselves stranded by
! the work stoppage in the spring,
! it may be difficult to persuade
laborers to leave the States next
spring. Work on either coast will
be plentiful, and it will be only
the more adventurous men who
will be willing to travel to Alas
ka for a few months work.
| Col. Glore, in his statement to
! Seward, said that it is up to this
| city to see that 80,000 tons of
j cargo is unloaded without any
' slow down in the process, or it
| will materially effect the de
fense picture of the Territory.
In view of the rapid depletion
of local manpower, I still think
that either the City Council or
, Chamber of Commerce should
request a conference with mili

tary and railroad officials to see:
if something can be done to con-j
serve what we have, and to plan
for added numbers if necessary. |
Col. Glore’s statement and
tone of voice cling in my mem
ory almost as a threat, especially
so, when linked with Col. J. P.
Johnson’s indecisive statement
of plans for railroad rehabilita
I tion.
| Let them give us a guarantee,

talk of 30,000 tons and we will
know how to plan. This business
of getting in enough outside la
bor to handle a possible speci-'

and it is unfair to expect this or|
any other port city to “be pre
pared to accept the challenge,”
until we know just what the
i challenge calls for.
