Club to Help
Round Up Demos
For Caucuses
Admitting the inability of the
Jefferson-Jackson club to act direct
ly for the democratic party, mem
bers, nevertheless, at last night's
meeting at the Moose Hall decided
to work closely with precinct and
divisional chairmen in seeing that
caucuses are held in time to elect
delegates for the coming divisional
and territorial conventions.
Although definite calls for cauc
uses could not be made by the club,
it was decided that the club could
see that precinct work was accom
plished
"We can act as sort of a hatpin
in the pants of a very sleepy demo
cratic party,"' Peter Wood, Juneau
real estate agent said.
Wood recommended action being
taken to see that precinct chair
men called caucuses in time for the
divisional convention, which is ex
pected to be held in Sitka about
Dec. 15. It was said that the Ter
ritorial democratic convention would
probably be held in Anchorage
January 18, 19 and 20.
About 30 At Meet
Club President Walter Hermansen
presided at the meeting attended
by some 22 persons. Mike Haas,
secretary, read letters from Vic
Rivers, central committee chair
man of Anchorage, explaining quali
fications for delegates to party con
ventions.
Haas objected to an editorial in
the Empire.
“They have no right to call me
a left-winger,” he said. “Sometimes
I am accused by labor of being too
lar to the right, and now I am
accused of being too far to the left.
Just where do I stand?
"Well, in my own mind, I know
where I stand' I stand oonvicted of
being a Democrat."
Vern Metcalfe, Democratic re
presentative to the Territorial House
agreed with Wood that the party
needed a shaking up. Metcalfe' gave
credit to Henry Roden. Territorial
Treasurer, and others in the party
for his winning in the last election,
but said that there was no credit
due to the Democratic Party itself,
which, he said, appeared to take lit
tle interest in young people.
"Young people don’t know which
way to turn to become active in
party politics even when they are
interested," Metcalfe said.
Wood said that the last lo
cal caucuses did not represent the
democratic party. He made the as
sertion that caucuses were ’jam
med!’
“There was such a lack of organ
ization, we may even have had peo
ple who were Republicans attending
the conventions," Wood declared.
Plans were made for a Jefferson
Jackson dinner to cost $5 a plate
to achieve some interest in the com
ing conventions, and to bring money
into the club treasury.
Among those present at the meet
ing last night were: Floyd Guertin,
Tertritofrial oonmissifcncr of Vfct
ern’s Affairs, Crystal Snow Jenne,
Postmaster; Peter Wood, member
of the Board of Assessment and
Equalization; Walter Hermansen,
Secretary of the Moose Lodge;

CARE Packages for
Korea Sponsored
By Women's Club
Principal topic of discussion at the
business meeting of the Juneau
Woman’s club yesterday afternoon,
held at the Alaska Electric Light
and Power penthouse, was the
CARE-for-Korea campaign of the
General Federation of Women's
clubs which will be a nation-wide
project of its 20,000 member clubs
November 12-24.
The goal set is 150,000 CARE pack
ages, or $1,500,000 as a voluntary
gift from America. CARE is the
agency set up at the end of World
War II by 26 religious, labor, relief
and co-operating agencies to chan
nel food and clothing overseas, and
the GFWC is using this machinery
to send help to Korea.
It was decided yesterday to de
vote two days to the local campaign,
November 16 and 17, and details
will be released later.
The club voted five dollars for the
Girl Scout troop which it sponsors
and the same amount for the pre
sent upholstery project at the Teen
Age Club. The balance of $350, due
on the library pledge will be avail
able shortly, it was reported.
Mrs. Don Morrison was selected to
be the club representative on the
Teen Age board, succeeding Mrs. C.
V. Rudolph who served in that ca
pacity last year. Mrs. Gordon Gray
is now the corresponding secretary,
succeeding Mrs. J. W. Griffin, who
left town some time ago, and Mrs.
Jack Clark has taken Mrs. Gray's
former place as treasurer.
The social-program meeting of
the club will be held on the fourth
Wednesday of the month instead of
the day before Thanksgiving, with
Mrs. K. S. Clem as the education
chairman and the program planned
will be announced later. A food
sale was announced for Saturday,
December 1, with Mrs. Jack Clark
as chairman.

Calls on Americans
To Take All-Year
Part in Freedom
ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE.
Alaska. Nov. 8 — Observing the
advent of Armistice Day on Sun
day. Lt. Oen. W. E. Kepner, Com
mander-in-Chief of the Alaskan
Command, has called upon Ameri
cans to take an active part in the
preservation of their country’s
freedom.
In a statement issued. General
Kepner said:
"Every November 11, since 1918
Americans throughout the world
have paused for one minute of silen.
meditation. They have been asked
to think, during the minute, of the
men and women who have died in
our country’s cause.
"We must assume that every
good American concentrates hit
minute’s thought on our nation',
tumultuous birth, on its swift and
glorious progress, on the sacrifice
of those who have fought for anc
preserved its high ideals, and or.
a fervent prayer for peace in thi
world. In these chaotic times, mer
and women must not go about theii
daily lives satisfied that someone
'else will take care of matters.
"Armistice Day is a solemn holi
day, but I cannot fill these para
graphs with high-sounding, empty
words. There is only one way foi
good Americans to observe this holi
day and all other holidays of patri
otic origin. That is to observe then
every day of the year, and to take
practical measures to be of service
to their community and their
country. ,
"An hour of voluntary civil de
fense work is worth a lifelime oi
thinking about. A knowledge o!
first aid is worth, perhaps, a life
Itself.
“Let us have a new approach tc
this thirty-three-year-old holiday.
Let us today consecrate ourselves to
the American way of life by resolv
ing to offer more of our time, energy
and talents to the preservation of
our freedom. There is no better
tribute to those who have given
their lives for this very purposp ”
