ACTION SOUGHT
ON MANY ISSUES,
AN BROTHERHOOD

After a late start Monday after
noon. November 8, the Convention
of the Alaska Native Brotherhood
and Sisterhood met at Hoonah in
morning, afternoon and evening ses-
sions all last week. Sixty three dele
gates and officers, representing all
towns in Southeast Alaska except
Hydaburg, which was prevented by
bad weather from attending, passed
33 resolutions relating to fishing,
liquor law enforcement, and the
general welfare of Natives, Among
the resolutions of interest were the
' following Ike.
No. l. uggests the postwar build
ing of a marine ways centrally To-
Gated capable Of building Is seine
boats at one time financed with
Indian. Reorganization Act funds,
in order to better the competitive
position of purse seine fishermen.
No. g Also relating to postwar,
urges the erection of Tuberculer
hospitals at Haines, Eklutna and
Norton Sound, and also the trans
fer of Army and Navy buildings
for similar purpose.
No. IS. Urges the Indian Office
greatly to increase its industrial
education program at all schools.
Resolution No. urges that the
Governor appoint a member named
by the Executive Committee to the
War Labor Board Fish Price Com
Imittee. .....s
| Opinions Requested
An opinion from Territorial At
torney General Henry Roden was
requested in a Resolution as to
the constitutionality of the Terri
tory's Widows Allowance Law.
Other resolutions requested an
opinion from Mr. Roden on the
Juvenile Code passed by the 1943
Legislature.
| Statistics were presented at the
convention showing that the Indian
office treated about 1,750 destitu-
ton cases per year in all of Alaska,
which averaged out to payment
of $2.25 per month per case. The
Indian Office was requested to re-
fuse to take over Juvenile delin-
Iquent cases from the Territory on
the ground that the Office already
had more than it could handle, and
the additional burden would ag-
gravate an already bad situation.
Resolution No. 8 asks that social
security benefits be extended to the
blind, and to seasonal workers max
ing only one quarter payment per
year. Evidence presented indicated
that the average payment for, sea-
sonal workers in Alaska is not much
less than in many parts of 1the
limited States, but because it is
concentrated all in one quarter, no
benefits accrue

when Ensign Maurey GOldstein ar
rived in Jax for 15-day absence
from duty, we encountered Maury
with the natural question: "What
experiences did you have with the
Jewish populations of the foreign
countries you visited?"
The ensign did not meet with
many individuals of the Jewish
brotherhood, it seems. In Brazil,
however, he went shopping one
afternoon in a souvenir shop . :.
and his only contact with the
proprietor was his Portuguese
English dictionary. It was a sad
predicament; no one understood
anyone. At length, greatly ex-
asperated the ensign exclaimed:
"Sholom Alechem!" The face
of the proprietor frightened.
"Oh," he exclaimed in age-honored
Yiddish mixed with Portuguese:
"A Jewish officer"
1t was a happy day for the
ensign and the Jewish shop owner.
Maury also told us that in
Trinidad the Jewish population,
which is very small, subscribed the
majority of the funds for the Red
Cross drive held there. 1t was
publicized as such in the daily
press.
Hear that Captain (DOctOr) j.
