Elsewhere in today's Sentinel Gov. Gruening tells the people of Alaska his reactions to what hap pened, or didn't happen, at the 18th Territorial Legislature which ad- journed recently. An excellent re- porter with keen powers of analy- sis, the Governor paints an interest ing picture and aside from taking a few good, healthy raps at some of the boys emphasizes once again the great need for reapportionment in the Territory on basis of population for purposes of fair representation. The Governor isn't the first to dis cover that one half the Territorial Senate, composed of eight members, can make or break every bit of leg islation which is presented. A few years ago this cry became so loud that a vote on unieameral, or one house Legislature, was presented to the people only to be turned down. The Governors view at this time, however, does stress more clearly than ever that every effort should be put back of Deleate Dimond's bill now in Congress to see that the Territory is redivided properly on basis of population.

 While there is little prospect of a special session of the Legislature, unless the Governors present trip to Washington changes the picture, if one should be called it probably would be based on national emerg- ency and would deal with armories Not only the Governor but the Army is disgusted with the lawmak- CTS for not doing something about armories in connection with the national defense. General John C.. H. Lee, Commander of Ports of Elm barkation for the Pacific Coast, ad- dressing the Chamber of Commerce up in Juneau fore part of the week suggested the people of the Terri tory ask the Governor to call a spe- cial session to appropriate money for maintenance and training of Ma tional Guard units in Alaska. This, of course, would mean building of armories in which to house the Guard. Putting a little pressure be- hind this remark, General Lee said original plans were for the Alaska National Guard to be kept in the Territory for special training in the

MILFORD NECK

Sometimes amid the scenes of life,
When all seems naught but grief
and strife;
We stumble, falter-beneath the
load
And wonder why, must be applied
the goad.
Look up, my brother, out and be-
yond,
At the fairness of the sunkissed
pond,
Look on beyond this crystal light
Until you see One Who is more
bright.
His guiding hand reaches down to
you,
To you, whose duties are overdue,
So we, who know that mighty hand
Are as happy, by far, as the angel
band
That sing above the dross
To the One Who knew the cross.
If that Guiding Hand is still our
own,
We need not fear the waters that
drown.
