Tall and frothy mixtures from Fountains shiny and slick, Compete with swanky bar lounges And you still can have your pick Of a dozen or more different flavors For your soda or ice cream, :. And vanilla continues to lead the llst, At least so the confectioners deem. Chocolate has lots of pull, Likewise strawberry in season, But vanilla seems to tempt them all For no particular reason. Neopolitan and fruity mixtures, Maple nut or peach, These are real toothsome numbers Quite within your reach. So as the world progresses And tastes may change, still a Popular phrase that continues strong Is this-Ill have vanilla.

 Comment came at a time when the bonus forces are already plan ming a move of that kind
 Situation Canvassed

Walkout of Elm pl Joyce $ Nearing End of Third
 Day City Quiet
PETITION AGAINST
 UNION CIRCULATED
Nucleus of 20 Men Spon- soring Movement Op-
 posing Union Heads

Pay Day" at the Alaska Ju- neau Gold Mining Company was a routine affair today, despite the fact that 1t was the third day Of the Alaska Mine Workers Union walkout affecting more than 900 men.
 Employees received their regular twice-monthly pay check starting aoout o'clock this morning. There was no demonstration; no questions were asked by mine officials; no discrimination between union and non-union men was reported.
 Miners were unanimous in regard ing the pay day as normal" Most of the employees received their checks early in the morning.
 Another Check Due
 The payment of one twice month ly check means that the men have received wages for work up to and including May IS. The balance, from May Is to May 22, when the walk out was called, will be due on the next regular pay day, June 10.
 The other important lwalkout news of the day was the increased activ- ity of group of mine employees who are dissatisfied with the pres ent union situation. Sponsored by a group of approximately 20 men, petitions are being circulated for signatures proposing mass meet ing for the reformation of the present union or the organization of a new one"
 Included in this council of 20, whose identity was withheld, are men who have, at one time, been members of the Alaska Mine Work CTS Union. A spokesman explained this afternoon that some still are in good standing with the union, while others, dissatisfied with the union operation, have dropped out.
 Here's Petition
 The complete text of the petition follows; "
 We, the undersigned workers of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, are dissatisfied with the present leadership of our Mine Un- ion Local No One, and don't ap- prove of their present policy that involves the disturbance of our work and the troubles with the mine administration.
 Therefore, in the near future we propose to hold a meeting of all the workers of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, including union and non-union men, for the reformation of the present union or the organization of a new one"
 The spokesmen explained that his group was not necessarily opposed to proposals which the Alaska Mine Workers Union presented the mine last week and which were the causes of the walkout when refused by mine leaders, but that it was op- posed to the present leadership of the union.
 It was explained that, although the 20 petitions were being signed,
