More Fisherme
 More Crab, More
 Business Says Wood

There are plenty of crab in the sea to make a big business ol Hoonah's crab industry, but there aren't enough fishermen to bring to the cannery enough crab to ln- crease his operation, according to O. H. Wood, owner of Hoonah's Deep Sea Crab Cannery. Wood IS in Juneau for supplies and to secure additional help. He arrived the last of the week aboard the tender Valkyrie and plans to return Thurs day.
 Wood has been operating the can nery at Hoonah for ten years as an all-year around business. For several years Mrs. F. Warren has been associated with him and has an interest in the company. Mrs. Warren arrived in Juneau aboard the Valkyrie and is now on her way south for the winter. A crew of nine people work at the cannery all year.
 We have the equipment to get out a much larger pack than we do." Wood said. But we can't get the crab.'
 And until he can get more crab to can, Wood can't do anything about it. His business is in con- stant state of having more orders than it can fill Letters from every state in the union are on file in the company's office and Wood fills his orders when and if he can. h
 His local orders receive his first attention - the fresh manipulated crab he sends to the Baranof Hotel and the canned crab for the Al- aska Meat Company, California Grocery and P. s. Ganty in Sitka.
 Dungeness and King crab are packed by Wood under the Icy Straits brand and handled by the Icy Straits Salmon Company in Seattle, when Wood has enough on nand to send hlS broker. r
 Hoonah, with it's five or six hundred population, most of whom are natives, is in the midst of In dian tribal cermonials. The native ceremonies started about November l and will probably continue until the first of the New Year, Wood said.
 Possibly, Wood said, if a fish buyer would come to Hoonah, the Indians would continue trolling they have made good money this season. But there has been no fish buyer around, so no trolling. There is government work for the n a tiVes, however. The eco is building a new sewer system.

POLICE OF N. Y.
 SIZE up CROWDS
 BY OWN SYSTEM

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-The police don't guess they know almost exactly how many people there are in crowds.
 Chief Inspector Louis F. Costuma explained how his men get the fig slres. At Coney Island, they check subway turnstile meters and count cars in parking lots, figuring three persons to a car. In a parade, they know that men marching 12 abreast will pas sa given point at the rate of 5000 an hour.
 As for the parade spectators, the police know the area of the side walks and curbs block for block. Then they figure one person to every three square feet.

Morrison, who spent most of a recent months stay here behind closed doors in the cffice of Hugh Wade, director of Social Security in Alaska, was reported to have made m n ds for personnel changes and organizational switches in the Unemployment Compensa- ton office, which it is also reported, neither Dr. Dick nor Bragaw felt they could sanction.
 Crux of the argument it was re- ported, centered around a demand that Merit System Council of three members be appointed by the Governor. Present set-up sees heads of unemployment compensa- ten, public welfare and public health departments serving as the council, as a special arrangement in Alaska as against the recommenda- ion that civilians be appointed by these directors to manage Merit system affairs.
 Centralizing Of Power
 Appointment of the council by the Governor, himself an appointed of licial in the territory, was held by Or. Dick and Bragaw to be an thread with Territorial rights, it was reported, and step toward centralizing of power in Washing ton, which they believed should be vested in Alaska.
 Further complicated by the al- legged withholding of federal funds for use in the Territory, because the. Federal Social Security Board took the stand that territorial de- partments were not conforming with requirements, the situation in the. Little Territorial Building here has become more and more heated.
 When, and if, the annual meet ing is held. territorial officials be- lieve the battle for territorial rights against federal control of territorial departments may reach the boil ing point

COMMISSION MEETING IS
 IN QUESTION
Social Security Board Rep fesenfafive Is Again
 Headed for Juneau


 There seemed to be some ques- tion in territorial government cir cles today as to just whether or not newly appointed members of the Territorial Unemployment Compensation Commission will meet tomorrow to resume the an- nual session of that body which ended abruptly several weeks ago when two members of the commis- sion resigned.
 Tomcrrow's meeting was hn- nounced as scheduled by the office of Gov. Ernest Gruening last week, at the same time it was an- nounced that Mrs. Mildred Her mann, Juneau attorney, and Harry Phillips, Fairbanks business man, had been appointed to fill the places on the commission of Dr. Noble Dick, of Fairbanks, and Robert Bragaw, of Anchorage, who resigned recently.
 Today. however, Walter Sharpe, territorial director of unemploy- ment compensation, declared he has not, as yet, received any of- ficial notification from Gov Gruening regarding the appoint ment of Mrs. Hermann and Phil lips. Sharpe also called attention to the fact that annual meetings of territorial commissions must be preceded by public notice regard ing the sessions, and pointed out that no meeting of the Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission has been officially advertised to start tomorrow, so far as he knows.
 Weather and Court.
 Weather conditions and the Fed elal District Court also have some thing to do with the meeting to- morrow, it Is believed.
 Unless flying conditions are fa- vorable, it is doubtful if Phillips will arrive here for the session. He was due to fly here from Fairbanks via Pan American Airways today, but adverse weather prevented flights.
 Asked whether R. E. Hardcastle, of Ketchikan, will be on hand fo1 he meeting tomorrow, the Cover nor's office replied that Hard
 ties position On the board will be decided by the court" Tn ( reference was to court action lied in Ketchikan early this month n behalf of Gov. Gruening, in which Hardcastle was given 30 days to show cause why he should not De removed from the commission. I Hardcastle's membership on the commission was upheld here re- gently in an opinion by Territorial Attorney General Henry Roden. Ills place was contested by Rev. John L.

 In Air Raids
 Although he saw 85 successive nights of air raids in London, Casey infinitely prefers London to a war ship when the heavy explosions are falling. German bombers caught up with the Valiant on its return trip from Crete when Casey was aboard.
 They didn't hit the Valiant but they did smash another ship, the Malaga" he recalled. Previously I'd been wondering why the ships officers seemed so serious about the danger of bombers. Having seen the London blitzes, I didn't see why such a well armed ship should be so vulnerable-but there's a good reason. When you're sitting in an air raid shelter in London, you aren't the prime object of the bcmbs. If you get hit, it's only by accident. But boy-when you're on battleship and bomber is coming at you, you know you're the guy that bomber is looking for. You're a military objective
 Close Call With Death
 Casey had another close call as ! passenger in an army transport plane which took him to Benghazi. The pilot, a friend of his, had borrowed" the plane and promised Q return it in good shape but a wilight landing before Benghazl round the plane with it's propeller lcse deep in the ground.
 T. got a bump on my head, 5asey recalled, and the pilot broke is arm and few ribs. Wed hcught the battle was all over, ut they were still firing and I lidn't want any trouble about that orrowed plane, so I just crawled way on my hands and knees in the ark. They took the pilot to the capital and I never did find out xactly what happened to him."

Men Who Succeed

IN EVERY AVENUE of human endeavor,
there are some individuals who forge
ahead and succeed, while others fail. Of
course, there may be many reasons for a
mans success or failure. Some see and
grasp opportunity in time, others do not:
some with mediocre talents use what they
have and make good while more gifted men
neglect to use their ability and become fail
ures.
In almost every ease however back of
every man who wins or fails, there is the ST.
lent influence of some woman.
Ask some successful men you know how
they achieved their success, and those who
are honest with themselves will tell you they
were helped by their wives. or that they were
inspired to struggle for place in the sun, in
order to bring happiness to some woman who
had faith in them.
Henry Ford the great automobile king,
celebrated his seventy-eighth birthday We'd
nesday. and in press interview he told re-
porters that the greatest achievement Of his
life was when he met and married his wife,
and he gave her full credit for the immeasur-
able part she has played through the years in
his achievements.

The CCC camps have done and are do

Lesson From Joe Louis

n A MESSAGE delivered in the US. Con-
gress Monday July %, by Hon. Bartel J.
Johkman Of Michigan, on the Fight for
Freedom, the congressman drew a striking
Illustration from the career of Champion joe
Louis He said in part:
A few years ago, a Nazi by the name of
Schmeling came to America to fight Joe
Louis Like his prototype, Adolph Hitler, he
had spent long time preparing highly spe-
cialized offensive, good only if he could catch
Joe Louis without defense for the same. 1t
was right to the jaw, and catching Joe
Louis without preparation for the same like
Hitlers bitzkrieg, it worked
This is the position we could be in now,
If Hitler could come over here now, which he
will not, however, for long time to come.
After that experience with Nazdom,
did Joe Louis in his then condition go chasing
him to Europe or sticking his chin out to Max
Schueling? No, Joe Louis stayed right here
and prepared and perfected defense for
this one blitzkrieg weapon that Max Schmel-
ing had. And when Max Schmeling came to
America year or two later to again attack
Joe Louis, he found defense against his
blitzkrieg offensive, and he was just fiat
footed push-over.
If we would take lesson from Joe
Louis, we would prepare our defense at home
and make ourselves so impregnable that any
time Hitler came over here, he would be a
dat-footed push-over."
