WELCOME TO PIONEERS
Again the Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, is
meeting in Juneau and this city welcomes those mem
bers of the thirty years residence and then some years
besides. The Pioneers is a great organization, typical
Alaskan. The Pioneers are those sturdy men who
did pioneer Alaska when this Territory was in swad
dling clothes. A great many of the pioneers make
their homes in Alaska while others, for various reasons,
have gone outside. But where ever they are, Alaska
will be grateful for their efforts in carving out a great
Territory.
“KEEP AWAKE AMERICA”
What could be more appropriate than the patriotic
program tomorrow afternoon sponsored by the Juneau
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Coming on
the birthday anniversary of George Washington the
program should have added significance.
This patriotic program is to be given tomorrow
(Thursday) at 2 o’clock In the afternoon in the Elks
Auditorium and should be attended by a SRO audience.
There will be music by the Juneau High. School
Band and chorus and the patriotic address will be de
livered by H. L. Faulkner, one of Juneau’s leading
attorneys and citizens.
“Eternal Vigilance Is the Price of Liberty," is
the motto of the Elks, not only for tomorrow but for
all days of the year.
Turn out and attend this special patriotic affair
tomorrow.
GABBYSTREET
The death of Gabby Street has taken from or
ganized baseball one of its most illustrious elder
statesmen. Few men have been identified with the
game as long as he was, and few certainly ever gained
the respect of players and fans that he enjoyed
through his later years, says the St. Louis Star-Times.
There have been greater catchers than he was,
though he was certainly one of the most durable men
who ever played behind home plate. There have been
greater managers perhaps, though he led the Cardinal;
to a pennant in his first year. Rank youngsters have
been more glib and dramatic than Gabby was as a
radio broadcaster of baseball games. But as player,
manager and announcer he drew on the resources of
a sturdy character, a charming personality and a
balanced disposition. Without resort to exhibitionism
or to reliance on his individual exploits he grew into
an authoritative spokesman for the game he loved
He was born in Alabama. He made his between
seasons home in recent years at Joplin. But St. Louis
had a claim on him based on his years here as coach,
manager (of both the Browns and Cardinals) and as
the man behind the kindly voice that was interspersed
with that of Harry Caray in bringing Cardinal games
to countless radio listeners.
Fans who never saw him put their trust in Gabby's
recollections of legendary incidents of baseball’s past.
They took his opinion of a disputed play as something
a bit more authoritative than an umpire’s decision
This was a tribute to his knowledge of the sport
But more than that, it was an indication of the kind
of man he really was.
“Prescriptions should be given for sick nations
as well as for people,” says a psychologist. Let us be
the first to prescribe a heavy shot of truth serum for
Russia.
Money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness but if
you have plenty of it you can always choose the misery
you enjoy most.—(Everson News).

! ANALYST COMING
TO CONFER WITH
ALASKA OFFICIALS
A move was disclosed yesterday!
in the Senate to bring an expert I
from the Council of State Govern
ments for conferences on revamp
ing and modernizing territorial pro
cedures.
Senate President Gunnard Enge
breth reported the governor had
received a letter from the council
saying a representative would arrive
Saturday for a week’s conference
and study.
Engebreth said he had written to
the council originally although no
plans were yet made to finance the
representative’s visit. Then the
governor also contacted the national
organization.
Engebreth and Sens. John Butro
vich, Howard Lyng, James Nolan
and Steve McCutcheon all spoke
of the advisability of getting an ex
pert to study ways of streamlining
the territorial government to in
crease its efficiency and eliminate
what McCutcheon called dead wood.
Lyng was critical, however, of Enge
breth having taken the initiative
without consulting the Senate first.
Nolan told the Senate "I hate to
go home without accomplishing
anything on this problem.” Butro
vich warned that if something isn’t
done now "it will be just that much
bigger a problem in two years. I
think this session will have to pro
vide $50,000 to $100 000 to get the
job done.”
Engebreth suggested the immed
iate work of the council represent
ative alone should not cost over
$2,00) or $3,000.
CUTTER MOVEMENTS

brier was scheduled to leave on a
