MORE ABOUT . . .
First Mishap
(Continued from Page 1)
They arrived at the Seward
Sanatorium at 10:15 last night,
weary and wet and torn by
devil club, but otherwise unhurt.
They had only one pair of
rubber boots between them. De
ciding that they had better keep
their feet dry as long as possible,
they took turns ferrying each
other across the many small
swift streams that run into
Resurrection River. In this way t
they managed about four miles !
without wet feet. After that
they didn’t bother about any
thing but getting through the
brush and devil club. Anyone
who has done any hiking around
the mountains in this country
knows how hard it is to travel
where there are no trails. The
dark which settled down swiftly
under the cloudy skies did not
help the situation any, so that
it took the men six hours to
travel the 12 or 13 miles into
town, which it is said was good
time at that.
The men are making prepara
tions today to return to the
scene to rescue their hard won
moose before the bears get it.
Although they reported that
moose is scarce, bears are plenti
ful, both black and brown.

CARD OF THANKS
We take this opportunity to
express our heartfelt gratitude
to our many friends for the sym
pathy and kind assistance ex
tended at the time of our recent
bereavement.
Mr. and Mrs. Art Loring
Mr. William Lyons
Logan Varnell has been back
in town for a few days, but left
yesterday for his job in An
chorage.
Ever notice how many people
there are who never get closer
to work than planning what to
do tomorrow?
Nothing is perfect in this life.
That is the reason why pencils
have erasers, cars have bump
ers, and the gals have girdles.
MORE ABOUT—
Labor Shortage
(Continued from Page 1)
increased military activity in
this area, it was stated. Vessels,
loading Army and Navy cargo
have priority on gangs and then |
any left over after meeting the
military requirements are pro-,
rated among commercial car
riers. (A longshore gang consists
of 12 men—a hatch tender, a |
winch driver, 2 sling mep and 8 ,
men who work in the ship’s
hold.)
To help alleviate the situa
tion on Puget Sound, which has
been described as more critical
than at any time during World
War II, the longshore union has
developed a pool of workers out-!
side of the membership, but they
are finding it impossible to train
these people fast enough to meet
the growing demand for men,
and private operations are “tak
ing a terrific beating” it was
pointed out.
In order to avert a complete
disruption of scheduled service,
it has been suggested that the
Army create some labor bat
talions to assist in performing
the longshore work, but as yet
no action has been taken on this
suggestion.
Many a gal has to keep, on
her toes nowadays to keep ahead
of the heels.
