Boat Yarn ! Of Alaska
 \ ..Is0ff Press
BestsS Seller Writer Pinker ion logs Family Cruise } of NorthIdnd

The Triton, well known local craft owned by MT. and Mrs. J. J. Meh- erin, hits national print along with 8 former Juneau doctor and his family in "Three's Crew" by Kath- rene Pinkerton, new book just released by publishers Garrick ard Evans of Kew York. .0
 Kathrene Pinkerton is well known for her best seller, Wilderness W..a." That lovely woodsy yarn was g fitting start for nautical 'Three's a Crew" simple, straight forward ladys log that tells of sev- en years afloat in the island jew eled passages of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska.
 Start Cruise
 The "Pinks," as MT. and Mrs. Pinkerton and just-below-teen-age daughter Bobs like to be known started out with a 36 foot motor cruiser and ended up with the 50 foot Triton, purchased as an ocean going motor sailer and converted in the shipyards to their own plans of how to live afloat.
 They launch themselves into their boating life as strangers to salt water and navigation Their troubles are humor Their joys in their new world are ecstatic.
 For seven years you cruise with the "Pinks" into remote inlets, through heavy storms, into bright sunshine, through dritzling shrouds of rain. You don't miss much of either British Columbia or Alaska or the beauties of either. Kathrene Pinkerton lets herself ramble and you get a damp wanderlust that almost costs you boat before you get through the first four chapters.
 Devighne Mentioned
 For Juneau readers, Kathrene Pinkertons story of former Juneau resident Dr. H. c. Devighne as a Juneau yachtsnan is nothing less than succulent when she tells of the well known Doctor running aground with his Chirikof in the Taku River on his own jettisoned ballast.
 The Pinkertons do something thousands of us dream of doing, and they did it on the spur of the moment as many of Us lack the courage to do
 Water vasabonds
 They became water vageborlds-- moved their front yard from one enhancing harbor to the next-kept satisfying the inbred desire of all wanderers to peekaround the next corner the next point, the next is- land, beyond the last wave swelling on the horizon.
 And Alaskans who love Alaska will love Kathrene Pinkerton for her unblushins description of the joys of Alaska. You taste the salt. You share their enthusiasm for changes of scenery. You envy the "Pinks" tremendously.

HURRY THAT L. 5. AIRMAII LINK

Again Alaska's weekly mall service $ disrupted as seamen squabbIe over accomodzfIons on the ship scheduled to sail from Seattle Every part of Alaska suf fers. Postal authorities and oth- CTS scurry about trying io get the mail through by other than the regular liners
 This would be oovisted, espec- ially as 10 first class mail, If the airnail service between Alaska and the States, long proposed, were n effect
 It's good time to remind Con gress of the urgency of immed- fate establishment. of the air line that will forge the last link be- tween continental America and this Northland empire.
 The matter has been hanging fire long enough. With all the de fense projects and other big pro- grams under way for the Terri tory 1t is high time the region no longer be subjected 10 embar- rassments due to whims or dis putes between seamen and ship ping or other interests.

 Secretary of Alaska E. L. (Bob) Bartlett will be Acting Governor in his absence. The Ottawa meeting IS sched- uled to begin January Is, but the Governor received telegram Wednesday from Rep. Warren G. Magnuson, a United States member, saying he was endeavor ing b have the session postponed for 10 days. If the meeting is postponed the Governor will go first to Washington instead of directly to Ottawa as he plan ned.
 Governor Gruening said he would attend the budget hear ings for all agencies having offic es in Alaska and would make a determined effort to see that ap- propriations are large enough to insure progress in the Territory.
 To the statement of the Presi- dent indicating that most appro- priations except those for nation al defense would be held to a min mum. the Governor remarked that though the large defense ex penditures would be of undoubt- ed benefit to Alaska, the benefit would be decidedly "spotty" in it's effect, helping Sitka, Kodiak, Fairbanks and perhaps several other localities, but not aiding the Territory as a whole.

TRANSPORTATION COSTS GO UP
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

(Ketchikaa Chronicle)
 With he new year. passenger rates between Seattle and Alas kan ports take another advance. Freight, wharfage and handling rate already have been boosted.
 Admittedy. the transportation companies have many difficult problems on their hands. Strict CT regulations for safety al sea, labor's demands for higher wag- es. shorter hours and more men on the job, costly jurisdictional squabbles all mean vastly in creased costs.
 But as the rates go up, these increased costs are passed on to the people of Alaska.
 Where will these advances stop? Will they go on continual ly? Is Alaskan economy sufficient ly strong to meet them? Or will the steadily mounting costs ev- entually discourage development?
 We have long felt that the con- stantly recurring threat of la Dor disputes, such as those which in the immediate past have ser iously injured Alaska by com pletely stopping all shipping, re- presents a problem that calls for a new mode of settlement:
 CD Compulsory arbitr ton should be provided so that such vital services as Alaskan ship ping cannot be halted by mere whim.
