The
CtttiUc
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
We have been asked to do ar
ticles on several different points
tor complaint in town, includin
the wave of shop lifting anion
Seward children of so-called
better families. This could cause
humiliation and unsavory pub
licity for families and children
if police action is invoked.
We are not trying to sidestep
the issue, but in deciding which
subject to take up, the whole
thing was dumped in favor of
the spirit of the Christmas sea
son.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if
everybody in Seward would
make a list of the people he most
disliked, then send each one of
them a Christmas card—and
mean it?
Wonder if we could create a
special week all our own among
the many special weeks celebrat
ed throughout the year, and call
it “Send your enemy a Christ
mas card week. " What would
happen?
Would each one lay aside his
grievances and be friends for a
change, or would the police sta
tion become overcrowded by
reason of fist fights? Such an ex
periment would be very inter
esting.
A newspaper inevitably con
tains news of sadness and dis
tress to some persons. But in so
far as is humanly possible, this
paper has declared a holiday on
<all complaints, gripes, criticisms
and scandal for the rest of the
Christmas season. We want to
be happy, and extend our feel
ings to all our readers.
If it is possible to put out a
paper with only good news,
we’re going to do it. Will you
help'.’

ANCHORAGE GROCERS ON
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Juneau—Four Anchorage gro
cers have been appointed to the
Food Distributors Industry Ad
visory Committee for Alaska.
Fred G. Hanford, Territorial Di
rector for the Office of Price
Stabilization, announced this
week.
They are: K. C. Britt of Alaska
Fish and Farm Products, Inc.:
B. J. Gottstein, of the J. B. Gott
stein Co.; M. W. Odom, Anchor
age Cold Storage; and Louis Od
sather, Lucky’s Self Service, Inc.
The appointments were made
by Michael V. DiSallc, national
director of Price Stabilization.
Purpose of the advisory com
mittee is to consu't with O.P.S.
officials in the preparation of a
tailored regulation for the food
distributing business in Alaska.
This trade presently is covered
by Regulation 9, but a tailored
regulation is deemed desirable
to take into consideration speci
fic trade practices and business
methods of the food distributing
business.
Committees have been formed
in the clothing, hardware, used
car and lumber trades, Hanford
said, and another is contemplat
ed for the bituminous coal busi
ness.
‘‘O.P.S policy is to invite a
representative group of business
men to sit down with us and
supply i ed; d information be
fore we draft a tailored regula
tion,” Hanford explained.

A.S.C. Sailings
(Continued from Page 1)
the booming city of Anchorage,
the largest in the territory, while
their ship is in port at Seward.
For the first time since the war,
an Alaska Railroad streamlined
train will make a one day round
trip to Anchorage in connection
with each passenger ship calling
at Seward.
Again this year outstanding
national tour operators will of
fer interior Alaska trips in con
nection with The Alaska Line
service. Mount McKinley Na
tional Park, Fairbanks, the Yu
kon River, Nome and many
other scenic and historic spots
may be visited on these tours.
Commenting on the passenger
prospects for 1952, Peterson
pointed out that the past season
has been an excellent one and
that wiui the Seattle Centennial
drawing thousands of people,
many of whom may wish to see
Alaska, “there is an excellent
possibility this may be the big
gest tourist season in the history
of the Northland."
Peterson also announced a
new sailing time for Alaska
Line passenger vessels. Begin
ning May 9 with the steamer
Denali, the ships will leave Se
attle at 2 p.m. Pacific Standard
Time instead of 4 p.m. to allow
sufficient leeway to avoid de
lays because of tidal conditions
at Seymour Narrows, a day
north of Seattle. Peterson fur
ther point d out that all sailings
will remain on standard time
throughout the season and not
change to daylight saving time
as has been the practice hereto
fore.

Civil Defense Food
(Continued from Page 1)
Stockpiling takes large quan
tities of food out of regular sup
ply channels, causes shortages,
and needlessly disrupts the usual
food flow, the Federal agencies
say.
“Instead of stockpiling large
quantities of food in the base
ment, we are urging families
to follow the normal practice
of keeping a three-day food sup
ply on the pantry shelf for use
in civil defense emergencies,"
Mr. Wadsworth said.
Information will be forthcom
ing, he stated, on which items
would be preferable under un
usual conditions.
The maintenance of the fam
ily three-day supply, and the
rotation of food from the pantry
r
shelf in the customary way, is
most practicable, and rules out
creation of any artificial food
shortages, the two agencies say.
Membership on the state and
local emergency food supply ad
visory committees is to be drawn
from leaders among wholesale
groc: rs, retail grocers (chain
and independent), wholesale pro
duce, wholesale meat, poultry
and egg dealers; dairies, baker
ies, refrigerated warehouses and
frozen food distributors, food
brokers, farmers and processors
(sugar refineries, canners, etc.)
They will inventory food sup
plies and distribution facilities
of the community; list ware
houses, processing plants and
other facilities directly connect
ed with food supplies and de
termine their vulnerability in
event of attack.
