Building is Alaska's
Biggest Business, Says
Boilermaker Boss
A trip through Alaska has con
vinced Frank Chinella that the fu
ture is good for the Territory—and
his boilermakers—as long as gov
ernment building continues.
Chinella is president of the Boil
ermakers Local 104 (AFL) in Seattle
and has been active in the union in
the Puget Sound city since he left
Juneau in 1942.
A cry from Fairbanks unions
that housing for laborers on Kicl
son Field projects was bad. re
sulting in too great a labor turn
over, took Chinella to the inter
ior city to investigate. He came
north July 2 and for the last
month has been in Fairbanks and
Anchorage.
"I wanted to find out, too,” Chin
ella said, “what the prospect is for
continued building and consequent
employment. It looks to me as if
the government’s building program
is going to provide jobs for a long
time—as long as Russia remaims a
threat to peace.”
Government building is bigger
business in the Interior now than
is mining, the labor leader observed,
And in the First Division he
was pleased—for the territory
and for the men in his union who
will be employed—that a pulp mill
is going to be built in Ketchikan.
“Now if Juneau can only get a
paper mill." he said, “it will really
help Alaska.”
Chinella has been spending his
time in Juneau with Irving Hill,
president, and Cleda Mae Cam
mock, secretary, of the Alaska Ter
ritorial Federation of Labor. “They
are doing a fine job,” he said. He
leaves tomorrow for Ketchikan.

Final Report Issued
By Special Senate
Crime Committee
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1—'-'P'—
The Senate’s special crime invest
igating committee yesterday is
sued a final, hard-hitting report
recommending ways to crack down
on organized crime.
It also revealed, in some cases
for the first time, many of the
things it learned of gambling, drug
traffic and other rackets during
months of open and closed hear
ings.
The report dealt with crime all
over the country, although special
emphasis was given to the eastern
seaboard.
It sharply criticized many offi
cials for letting big-shot racketeers
operate in their areas; urged a
continuing study of inter-state
tie-ups; asked that several wit
nesses who refused to answer
questions be cited for contempt
of Congress; and recommended
stronger curbs on narcotics trade.

Disregarding loose theo
ries to the contrary, men
have been roaming this earth
for about 6,000 years.
When we stop to think about it,
the events of this mere iota of
time, no matter how many history ,
books they may fill, are of no im
portance whatever — except as ,
they are related to the infinitely
great and vast eternity! How
could it be otherwise?
Yet business, politics, enter
tainment, and a million trifles
loom before us, obscuring our
vision of that all-important
eternity.
It is Jike being “lost in the -*
.voods.” Of course, it is impor
tant that we be familiar with the 1
Lost
in the
Woods?
affairs of this life;
but we must be
sure that they do
not prevent our at
taining eternal life.
Don’t become so
contused ny the
dense “woods” of modern times
that you lose sight of that in
comparably vital destination.
It is easy to see that the only
truly important things—the
only enduring things—are reli
gious things; because spiritual
things are our guides through
the “woods” to eternity. Have
you ever thought of it just that
way? '
Take one spiritual thing, for in
stance, that some people consider
unimportant; the Sabbath. They
think the Sabbath is completely
out of joint with the times. It is
just the opposite: the times are
out of joint with spiritual things!
The Sabbath, as you know, is
a day consecrated by God Him
self for spiritual and physical
rest. It is a regenerating force
that benefits us now and for
eternity. It renews our faith
and trust in God and strength
ens our allegiance to Him.
The richest blessings in all the
Bible are offered to those who will
observe this sign of God’s creative
power, yet some people feel this
is unimportant if it means in- '
convenient adjustment of routine
matters.
When God placed man upon
earth, as the climax of creation,
He established a memorial for _
him to observe. That memorial
of creation (Genesis 2:1-3) was *
an actual portion of time—a
day. ,
We are told in the Command
ments, by which we will be judged, ”
that we are to observe this me
morial because “in
jix days the Lord \f/hv
made heaven and '
earth, the sea, and the
all that in them is. r » f i j '
and rested the sev- Jdbodth f *
enth day: where
fore the Lord blessed the sabbath ]
day, and hallowed it.” Exodus *
20:11.
That sacred day of spiritual re-^
newing exists now—as surely as
God created the world. It will
continue into the new and re
created world: “From one new
moon to another, and from one
sabbath to another, shall all'
flesh come to worship before me,
saith the Lord.” Isaiah 66:23.
Are you “lost in the woods”?
One thing that will help you to
find your way more surely is the
utilizing of that sacred day estab- *
lished by God for rest, refreshing,
and reconsideration of your
course. Use it to plan for eternity
and the new world to come.
