NUF SED

The appointment of Judge Finnegan to be Executive Officer of the Govern or's office with the military rank of Captain in the National Army, is ad- mirable. Judge Finegan is a good law yer, an able man, 8 public spirited, forward-looking citizen of Alaska. He has had large experience and possesses that rare quality that is often disignat ed as "horse sense". He is patriotic and has been seriously contemplating closing his office, arranging for the care and comfort of his family and go- ing off to the war to serve his country notwithstanding that he is long past the draft age. Capt. Finnegan will measure up to the best traditions of an officer and a gentleman.
 The circumstance that Capt Finn egan is Republican will make it plan that Gov. Riggs has not mixed politics and war work. (Juneau Empire, |,

DEPARTMENTS GIVING
THREE-MEAL SERVICE
Certain Government Branches Ex-
tend Cafeteria Facilities

With the food prices at Childs' still
at the high level of the first large in
crease, despite the order of the Dis
trict of Columbia Food Administrator
to restore the original price scale, the
government yesterday took action to
relieve its employees from paying the
raised prices and relieving Childs' of
the patronage of the government
workers, by opening up Its cafeterias
for three meals a day.
The first large cafeteria to give this
full meal service to war workers is
that of the War Trade Board. which
began yesterday morning, serving its
own 1900 employees breakfast and din
ner, as well as luncheon, and extend
ing its facilities also to the l 900 en-
pIoyes of the Fuel Administration,
nearby.
The Fuel Administration. which has
a large restaurant equipment of its
own, now serving luncheon to its
workers, will serve its own three meals
within a week or two. it is under
stood, when arrangements are COM
pleted.
The Food Administration, with 1 200
employees, is almost ready to expond
its cafeteria service to three meals a
day, and will probably extend its
privileges to other nearby depart
ments, as in the case of the War
Trade Board, at least until the other
nearby department cafeterias are ex-
banded or completed.
