Mail Pick-up to
Begin in October,
Says Postmaster
It was announced today by Post
master Crystal Jenne that Juneau
will have pick-up mail delivery ser
vice beginning in October. Ten box
es will be placed in the business
districts and neighborhood areas
and mail will be delivered to the
central post office. In the business
districts, there will be a morning
and afternoon pick-up service while
neighborhood boxei will be emptied
once a day.
The Femmer Transfer Company
was low bidder for the contract to
provide a vehicle for use of the
post office department. Femmer's
bid was tentatively accepted pend
ing final decision from Washington,
D. C. Three other bids were also
submitted.
Bid Five Times
Because of U. S. Post Office re
gulations which establish a maxi
mum rate that postmaster could
pay for vehicle rentals, Mrs. Jenne
stated that bids were advertised five
times before an acceptable one was
received. On the last bid, the Post
master General said that regula
tions would be waived for Alaska
and that the lowest bid would be
acceptable even if it exceeded the
maximum rate of 90 cents an hour.
The company renting the vehicle,
which will be driven by a post of
fice employee, must also provide
gasoline and oil and take care of
the maintenance. The car will also
be used for special delivery service.
Home Delivery Sought
Mrs. Jenne recently received a
letter from Delegate E. L. Bartlett
stating that he had requested that
the post office department inaug
urate home delivery service in Fair
banks, Ketchikan and Juneau. An
chorage is the first and only city
in Alaska to have home mail de
livery and the service started there
on September 6. In a letter to Bart
lett, Joseph J. Lawler, assistant post
master general Etated that an in
vestigation would be made in Ju
neau, Fairbanks and Ketchikan
or the need of home delivery ser
vice.
Development Board
Head Impressed with
Canadian Progress
Don Goodman, President of the j
Alaska Development Board, in Jn
neau on his way to Anchorage after ]
attending the Pacific Northwest
Trade Association meeting at Mis- ]
aoula, declared himself impressed
With the industrial progress of |
British Columbia.
“The Canadians are not asking
anything from their national gov- j
ernment, yet they are offering in- j
ducements to private capital that
are resulting in spending tremendous
amounts of private investment
money in the Canadian provinces,”
Goodman said.
About the Alaska Development
Board, Goodman has great hopes.
“Alaska must have an industrial
economy to take the place of its j
present war economy. Especially
in western Alaska. In Anchorage
thousands of people have invested
heavily in new homes, new busi
nesses, new apartment houses. At
present we are financed by military
spending. Some day the present
military boom will collapse and we
must have stable industry of some
kind to take its place," Goodman
declared.
Goodman said that he knew that
the members of the Development
Board w-ere interested only in the
progress of the territory. “We have
no interest in politics. Our policy is
that the development board is to
be entirely non-political,” he said.

according to information received
by district Coast Guard headquar

The message was received at 12:30
a.m. and the cutter White Holly
from Ketchikan left at 2 a.m. to
meet the Alona which was enroute
to Ketchikan from Clarence Straits.
Delay in leaving was caused by an

on the cutter and administered
blood plasma. Karen was taken to
a Ketchikan hospital. No report
was given on his condition other
than a “compound fracture of the
left leg above the ankle.”

Link, testifying under oath before
the Senate investigations subcom

hat American Lithofold Corp., a
3t. Louis printing firm which got
he loans, paid him only $1,250, and
