SPEECH HIGHLIGHT
OF MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVANCES HERE
J. Simpson MacKinnon, speaking
in Memorial Day ceremonies, said
that Communists are making in
roads into our midst by attrition
and infiltration.
"The Korean conflict is an act of
attrition by them against free so
ciety," he said. "The American pub
lic is to blame tor the political cor
ruption lead, about in so many of
the daily papers. Our own apathy
is the reason for this political
corruption."
Following the dock-side ceremon
ies at the subport in honor of those
who have died at sea, the parade
went to the Federal building where
MacKinnon delivered his speech.
From the Federal building, the par
ade continued to Evergreen Ceme

PART if Of 6 MAKE
1AKU LODGE I RIP
OVER MEMORIAL DAY
A half dozen persons “discovered
Taku Lodge over Memorial Day.
They were Clara Maag and Gloria
Frasier of the Juneau Clinic; Dr.
J. Karpinski, Coast Guard dentist;
Lyle Manson, Juneau High School
band director; Paul Sutton, chief
underwriter for the FHA here, and
Auggie Hiebert of Anchorage, chief
engineer for the Lathrop Company
radio station chain.
They traveled to the Lodge on
the riverboat Redwing, Tuesday
evening and flew back last evening
via Alaska Coastal Airways. They
were entranced with the rugged
mountains and glaciers almost on
the Lodge doorstep. Royal O'Reilly
took the party up the Taku River
to the Canadian border yesterday
and the group made a short hike
to the lake which receives the Twin
Glaciers.
Dr. Karpinski who comes origin
ally from New York and has been
on temporary duty for the past
three months in Alaska said he
had enjoyed Juneau more than
any other town in Alaska and was
glad he made the Taku trip before
he returns to the states.
Mark Twain wrote a number of
plays, most of them adapted from
his own novels, either by himself
or in collaboration with other wri

stage hit. None has been published.
CHECKS FOR VET
LOANS IN MALL
TODAY, GUERTIN
Floyd Guertin, commissioner, Ter
ritorial Veterans’ Commission, said
today that checks totaling approxi
mately $160,000 in veterans’ loans
would be in the mail today on their
way to district offices in the second,
■bird end fourth divisions.
This is a part of the $230 000 re
ent'y released hy the Board of Ad
ninisl ration of ve'erans’ funds
which were '‘frozen'’ following the
1949 legislature. Payment of thi
funds was delayed a week pcnd’nc
signature of the Territorial Aud
itor.
Of the loans, »0 are home loans
for purchase, construction or com
pletion of additional improvement'
to existing homes. They averagisd
about $5,000 each, the highest bcinr
$10,000 and the lowest, $S00 which
went to an Eskimo veteran in Nome
About 75 per cent of the money wil
go to the third and fourth divisions
Business loans amounted to $36.
000 ranging from purchase of :
truck transportation company be
tween Circle Hot-Springs and Fair
banks to a bottling works in Sitka
They ranged from $3,000 to $10,000.
Guertin said there is about $90,000
left of the $250,000 which will be
used for loans during June an
July. A total of about $650,000 i
sli'1 due from the appropriatiot
mail'' by the 1949 legislature.
The Veterans Affairs Commission
Guertin added, has at the present
iim° loans outstanding of $2,900,000
and it addition has paid out. *3,4DC
n bonuses to 11 veterans duriiv
May Bonuses repaid to the comLili:
sion. from 149 vets in. order to ob
ta n leans, total $63,580
The Veterans Board. Guertin said
has imposed more rigid security re
qi irements to obtain loans to insure
repayment and prevent loss to the
World War II veterans revolving
fund. Although amortization periot
of the loans is generally 10 year
Guertin said the surprising thing
was that all loans presently out
standing would be repaid in about
half that time, as estimated from
repayment schedules. He said that
business loans have a shorter amort
ization period than the 10 years.
Outstanding are 34 boat loans, all
in excellent standing, which total
$145,660. He added that these loans
have shown a marked improvement
during the last year.
