 Time Ripe To Get Busy
 This educational work Is as much yours as 1t is ours, and now is the psychological moment for you to get busy. There is more interest in aviation throughout the United States now than we can hope to at tain again for many years to come, so that there will never be a better opportunity than right now to try and get recognition commensurate with our offensive power in tho scheme of national defense.
 There are two senators from your state and q representative from your district. Also you must know people of prominence in your state who can communicate with the sen- ;gtors and representatives, people whose communication will be given moro than casual consideration. It is to your interest that you get in touch with these people as your future in tho service will depend largely upon legislation in this ses- sion of congress. Get them to back the organization of the air serv- ice along the lines as outlined here with, so that their senators and representatives in Washington will know what the folks back home want.

SHORTAGE OF MEN HAS EXISTED IN SEWARD
 SINCE EARLY SPRING
EXCELLENT FISHERY SEASON AND BIG DEVELOPMENT WORK
 INTERIOR, IS CAUSE

For weeks past there has been a large shortage of men in this and in those regions bordering along the rail- road belt, and right now, according to Joe Hoffman, the Alaska railroad Is in need of many men for work along the line. In this connection he states it is remarkable the amount of work that has been accomplished so far this season with the small number of men available He gives as one reason of the labor shortage, that of the ex- ceptionally fine fishing season, in which industry, every man who could be obtained was hired by the many canneries in this, the Westward and Cook Inlet regions. However, prior to the fishing season it was difficult to hire men in Seward. Though To- cated hundreds of miles away the de- velopment work in the Interior dis trict by the Fairbanks Exploration company, attracted large numbers of men throughout this vicinity and others who came pouring into the city last spring from the south.
