AT LAST!
At last, wo hear the good news that the strike is over. Wo are keeping our fingers
crossed lost some other group decides to hold things u£ for awhilo.
While we doubt if many Alaskans wore actually starving, wo wore at loast out of and
very low on many essential items considered necessary in a well-balanced diet. Most
Alaskans arc too far-sighted to lot their larders run down too low at any t,imc, and
1 he pest few months have proven how wise they arc. Nevertheless, it was getting rather
monotonous to have the samo thing every day with no butter, no fresh fruit and goner
ally speaking no variety. The most alarming shortago was perhaps in baby foods such
as canned milk and karo. Many other foods wore running pretty low and actually wo
could not have woathored tho situation so very much longer.
"bile food is the most important item to be considered in a time like this, there have
vcon many industries that have suffered because of the tie-up. These industries pro
vide payrolls'for manypooplo and when those industries arc cripple: d—payrolls arc
also crippled. This may moan actual hardship for those affected. The Anchorage News
"'eck of December ?,1946, makes this statement:"But the term "relief" for Alaska must
so enlarged further if the economic blood stream of the territory is not to dry up
under the merciless stranglehold of the strike in which wo have no part.
"Snail businesses’are already irreparably damaged through the closing off of supplies.
Others arc feeling the pinch and arc helpless to act as they watch their small stocks
dwindle. No one will deny that it was ossential to get food to some communities in
A3, a ska, but it is now just as essential to bring paint for the paint shops, gadgets
for the not ion'shops, clothing for tho ready-to-wear stores, paper for the printers
and newspapers, light bulbs for the electric shops. Without those non-edible but never
theless desperately needed items, Alaska"will starvo economically just as surely as
she -ould starve physically without food," /
