Bruce Cation SAYS
WHO CARES WHAT GOES
ON WHAT STAMP?

AW, come on, DOyS, maven you
got more important things to hag-
gle about than who goes on what
postage stamp? There are plenty
other mighty fine issues, all tried
and true, that you can concern
yourself with. There is unemploy-
ment, for example, or the deficit.
or the war scare.
And you, Mr.. Bruce Barton, when
you went down to Washington as
representative from New York a
lot Of people thought you would
head up a vigorous and Well-inten-
toned minority group, something
that hadn't been much in evidence
since 1893. And you gave signs OF
doing just that. That's why diSap-
pointment was the general reac-
ton to your recent accusation that
Postmaster General Farley revised
postage stamp designs merely as q
scheme to make sure that all Re-
publicans are forgotten
You said further: The gooa
spots are Democratic. Three cents
Jefferson, cents, Jackson. Mr.
Farley is their campaign manager
as we'll as the Presidents. He is
going to make sure that then
memories are kept green"
Now this is no case for Mr.. Far
ley, whose right hand as chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee undoubtedly had some idea
of what his left hand as postmas-
ter general was doing to the ma
tons stamp designs. Mr.. Farley
honored all the deceased Presidents
in order-eXcept that he put Ben
Franklin. founder of the postoffice
system, on the 12-cent stamp and
Martha Washington on the IL
center This revision took George
Washington, who probably void
be considered a Republican today,
off both the 2-cent and 3-cent
stamps. Thomas Jefferson was
placed on the 3-center, and John
Adams. whose political beliefs
were the same as Washingtons
on the 2-center. Washington was
relegated to the 1-cent division.
Lincoln moved up to the 15-cent
class.
Representative Barton seems
seriously concerned over the fate
of Calvin Coolidge. Coolidge whom
Mr.. Barton establishes as the
prophet and symbol of thrift and
economy, heads up the $5 stamps
In all fairness it should be pointed
cut that this will be the first time
Coolidge has ever appeared on any
stamp. And there Is the further
consideration tnat some people
would consider it an honor for
their likeness to decorate the most
expensive stamp issued by the
United States government As one
stamp collector said OF the revision,
1T certainly puts some OF the Re
publicanS in Il more exclusive posi-
tioh."
So it is just barely possible that
politics was the farthest thing
from Mr.. Farley's mind when he
decided to rejigger the stamp set
up. And there seems TO be a good
chance that, even if the post
master general did have ulterior
motives, such a dastardly purpose
may not be accomplished. For
many people honor greatly the
sum of $5, even If it's represented
by a postage stamp.
And finally, what difference does
the whole business make? Suppose
one Democratic Presidents face is
seen a little oftener that that of a
famous Republican President
After all. what do people do with
postage stamps? First they-er-
exectorate on them. Then they
place them on an envelope and
hit them just as hard as they can
with the bottom of their fist.

FIRE DEPT. DISPOSES
 SPLURGE OF BUSINESS

Presided over by Vice President Walter Andrews, in the absence oi Angus Gair, regular chairman, the September meeting of the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department was held last evening with considerable busi- ness on tap and an attendance of about twenty members.
 Recent drills held were covered in a report given by Chief Mike Pusich who recommended that a trail be constructed between St. Ann's and Thlinget avenues to fla cilitate travel back and forth dur ing possible fires. Several yards of rock and gravel are still required there he said. Last weeks drill was attended by six members of the To- cal and three from the Juneau department. They made a thorough test of several hydrants as well as the velocity of the truck pump, sat- isfactory results being attained. The Cllltl dioO oCdICQ blldO OiiC OuiidiAi5 of trail between Front and Sec ond streets would greatly facilitate means of protection to the lower section.
 The sounding of the siren to call the members to practice for future drills was decided upon to aid turn outs.
 Reports of committees covered the recent dance, Chairman Niemi stating that a net of approximately $100 was realized. A. Shudshift an- nounced the purchase of an cleo tric range for the department social quarters, under instructions received at the last meeting. Besides the en- tertainment uses of the range for the department it is for the con- venience of proposed sleepers in the hall. Committee on lockers stated their installation was practically completed.
 Applications for membership for the reinstatement of Jack Warner and Max Isaaks was favorably voted upon. Lonnie Grants application was also accepted. The trustees, after examining the attendance re- cord, asked authority to drop three members from the roll and place one on the honorary list.
 
 The urgency of obtaining 500 feet of additional h-inch hose was again stressed and another commi5- tee composed of Chief Pusich, Alex Gair and Claude Erskine was dele gated to appear before the city fathers and with pledge of finan- cial assistance from the depart ment, urge the Council to order the hose immediately.
 In connection with having the new siren, it's installation and sat- isfactory performance, Secretary Langseth was directed to write a letter of thanks to the Alaska Elec- tric Light and Power Company for their cooperation in the matter.
 Bills totaling $103.10 were ordered paid and the annual dinner dance sponsored for several years past by the firemen was decided on for this
