Preserve Freedoms
Topic At Rotary
Art Brooks, newly elected presi
dent of the Rotary Club, assumed
office Tuesday when that group
met at the 49 Room for their noon
luncheon.
Frank McConaghy and Neal
Woodhouse were guests at the
meeting.
An impromptu discussion during
the program time took place on the
subject of “Freedom, how we can
preserve it for the future genera
tion.” Emil Knudsen, program
chairman, introduced the subject,
and called on members to give
short speeches stating their views.
“This is a timely subject,” Dr.
A. Holmes Johnson, the first
speaker, stated “and should be
considered by everyone.” He cited
the turmoil and strife in various
parts of the world, with the U. S.
still retaining the leadership of the
free world. “We can retain that
leadership,” he said, “only by re
maining strong.” He thought, he
said, our only hope was in assum
ing our responsibilities and work
ing out our problems without call
ing on the government in Washing
ton to do so. “We are fast becom
ing a welfare state,” he stated.
“The problems of education and
medical care should be worked out
without calling on Washington for
aid,” he stated.
Other members spoke in the
same vein, with the preponderance
of opinion voiced in favor of less
aid from Washington, and more
thinking by individuals in meeting
these problems.
Imparting to tne child by the
parent ideas on freedom and its
meaning, was another idea ex
pressed in preserving our freedom
for the future generation. Also to
assist other grownups into one’s
own way of thinking, was men
tioned.
Much can be done to preserve
our freedom, it was further stated,
by knowing who the candidates
are during elections, and what
they stand for; thus electing the
stronger candidate. One speaker
stated we can learn by the mis
takes we have made, letting them
serve as a guide.
“We are further from a free
world than ever before,” a speaker
said. We should concentrate more
on our own betterment, was his

Military Affected
By Price Advance
Food prices in military commis
saries in Alaska were raised nine
percent July 1, as a result of Con

military services to pay back trans
portation costs of the food from
the South 48.
It is estimated the raise will

The only other area in the world
ffected by the ruling is Hawaii,
rhere the increase is 1xk percent
s compared to 9 percent in Alas

The added cost is on all food
tuffs sold to military men and
heir dependents in commissary
tores on military reservations.
Military personnel on the Naval
Station here who were contacted,
stated the additional cost was very
noticeable. The increase is levied
to reimburse the government funds
used in transporting food items
sold in Alaska and Hawaii commis
sary stores.
At present, an overall nine per
cent is added to the price tag, but
in the future the transportation
costs will be worked out precisely
in advance, and added to the shelf
price of individual items.
