City Caucus on 24th

The City Council has ordered that a caucus be held for the nomination of city council and mayor. Three members of the present council will be reelected or others elected in their place.
 Caucuses in previous years have never been very we'll attended. If the electors are satisfied with selection of officers by happen stance methods; if they show no more interest in their city gov ernment than has been demon strated, then they should not complain if city affairs are not managed in accordance with their ideas. The kind of govern ment we get is the kind of gov ernment we vote in or through apathy, let in.

Council Questions
 Census Returns

The figures for the Petersburg district released for publication by superintendent of Census, Charles Naghel, Juneau were 1,217.
 The matter was taken up and discussed in the last meeting of th City Council, transcript of minutes of that meeting read ing as follows
 Tt was the opinion that com plete returns had not been made by the census taker, certain in stances being brought up show ing that residents had been omitted, and it was therefore or dered that the Governor be re- quested to send a list of the names for the purpose of check ing up the returns.
 A letter from MT. Naghel has been received by the City Clerk advising that pending work will not permit sending the list of names but that will write you on America First suggestions for clearing the matter up."
 Several names were pointed out as not having been enumer- ated but upon investigation it was found that they had left Petersburg before Mr. Gribble, census enumerator had secured their names; that they had not been counted in the States; had not filled any blanks as request ed by Census Taker. That MT. Naghel had requested immediate return of census returns before the work could be properly com pIeted; that the returns were withheld an additional month in an effort to secure complete returns. That the committee from American Legion appointed by Governor Parks gave no as sistance; that there is no ques- tion that some deliberately evad- ed enumeration because of the fear they might be compelled to pay school tax. That any in completeness in returns was of little consequence insofar as the total population is concerned.
 With the steadily dwindling white population because of the unfair regulation of the fisher ies, that towns have less popula- ton is no surprise. Ketchikan, the largest town in Alaska, is making strenuous efforts to hold its enumeration up to it's claims But every town, depending upon the fisheries for it's economic foundation may just as we'll rest contented with the figures pre- sented by the census enumera- tion.

As cold weather approaches,
n pork in its variety of cuts in
yariably appears i'll the weekly
menus. Some roaSts are particu-
larly suitable for special family
dinners and others for informal
company affairs.
Since pork roasts are quite SIM
ple in structure they are easy for
the host to carve with very little
practice. 49,,
The crown roast Of pork which
Is most festive in appearance is
nne of the easiest to carve. The
butcher in preparing it must cut
the ribs apart at the back bone,
thus simplifying the task for the
carver. In carving the crown
roast OF pork. insert the carving
fork at the left and to the back of
the roast. The knife is then in
serted between two ribs, to the
right of the carver, and the ribs
are cut apart. Continue this
around the crown until all have
been served. One rib served with
some of the filling of the crown
makes a portion.
Easy to Carve Loin
The butcher also can help in
making the carving of loin OF
pork an easy accomplishment. In
ordering q loin roast, the house
wife should ask the butcher to cut
the backbone apart at each rib.
Just as in the preparation OF the
crown roast. Place the roasted
loin on the serving platter with
the Drowned tieshy side up and the
ribs toward the carver. The cary
er inserts the fork we'll to the left
side of the loin. The knife is in
serted at the top of the roast be-
tween the ribs and a straight
downward incision to the back
bone is made. A slight twist of
