Tightening up ON liquor control
in the Territory with the Federal
government putting on the brakes
may be expected shortly. Particul-
arly in the First Division an edict is
shortly to go out to Town Councils
demanding that they tighten up
on enforcement in their own towns
Immediately or the Department of
Justice, through the District Attor-
ney will move in, with the penalty
revocation of licenses. Under the
present setup of liquor control, the
Legislature when 1t enacted the
cocktail bar bill threw matter of
granting licenses back into the Dis
trict courts. Procedure has been that
after Town Councils approved the
license applications, the courts of
the respective Divisions granted the
licenses on grounds that Town
Councils should handle their own
towns and that it wasn't up to Court
officials to go out and make investi-
cation of every application. How
ever, complaints of lack of local en-
forcement which have mounted from
several communities of the First Di-
vision may result in direct action a
gainst license holders.
Major complaint, according to in
formation reaching the Periscope, is
sale of liquor to intoxicated per-
sons. 1t is charged that in most of
the towns there is a tendency to ig-
more in this respect, apparent atti-
tude being, according to one official,

LET'S BE PREPARED

Wrangell had a surprise black
out a week ago Thursday evening.
If an enemy had been flying over
with a few bombs to drop he'd have
found a ready target in the various
house lights which shown around
town. But, one can hardly blame
folks. The warning siren came un-
eXpeetedly and it had been a long
time since our last black-out. It
was even a little humorous---as long
as there were no bombs dropping.
People who had gone to bed and
woke up with the siren blasting in
their ears and turned on, not only
their house lights but their porch
lights as we'll, to go out and see
what the excitement was about.
When the street lights went out their
first thought was that something
had happened to the power station.
Many others, who were up and lis
tening to their radios, didn't even
hear the siren. It was quite a mix
up and shows clearly what could
happen if Wrangell were subjected
TO an unexpected attack.
Hereafter, prominently displayed
around town, and printed in red to
attract attention, will be small
cards warning folks what to do
when they hear a continuous five
minute blast OF the siren, followed
by one short blast. 1t says that all
citizens must put out their lights
Immediately and all defense work
ers must report to their assigned
posts Women and children are
warned to stay off the streets dur
ing the blackout.
1t sounds like war. So, also, do re-
ports from the north Atlantic where
our ships are being fired on by sub
marines. It's hard for us to realize
the seriousness of the situation.
Maybe the first rumors of war
didn't sound serious to the people
OF Warsaw and Prague either It's
hard to realize that their fate
could be Wrangelps.
Maybe we won't be bombed if war
comes. Maybe we will. At least, we
should be ready for the worst so, if
worst comes to worst, we'll know
how to conduct ourselves in an or
Derby, efficient manner.
In this day of uncertainty and
loAg-range bombers it's just as
well to be ready and cooperate
with those in charge of our defense
and security. After all, the old ad
age still holds good---"An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure"

boroughs

to London's historic buildings. ex-
eept for minor work on roofs and
windows. Great holes still cape.
Wrecked Buildings Removed
No figures are available on re-

properties. but informed sources say

that job for months. n London's
huge business area. temporary re
pairs have been made to hundreds
of damaged business buildings.

Other structures too badly damaged
have been torn down.
Other crews have been repairing
utilities, city streets, sidewalks. and
the Ministry says the greater part
of that task is completed. Nc Lon
don street is closed now because of
bomb damage.
The Ministry adds that $4,000
damaged houses were made habit
able again in one recent week. The
total included 10000 in the pro
yinces and $4,000 in London (which
suffered twice as much damage in
air raids as the rest of Britain com

This winter. back in Washington,
there will be written an act for the
handling of Alaska fisheries, pat
termed along the lines of the Alaska
game law. It's enactment will be the
final move in coordinating the fish
cries and game into one working
unit, now known as the Fish and
Wildlife Service. While it hasn't
reached a definite stage, one of the.
provisions which the new act may
carry is the setting up of a commits
sion, something along the lines of
the Alaska Game Commission, made
up of Alaska men, which would act
in an advisory capacity in makingI
recommendations much as does the
Game Commission.

for bids on several million cases of
canned salmon, indicated about
what it expected to pay (around

tive scale for other grades), and
wants bids direct from the packer.
