ABLE OFFICIALS ELECTED

The people of Juneau, in truly representative manner have elected to offices in their city govern ment a Mayor and three Counclmen, two School Board Directors, and have also voiced their opinion on the question of barring the sale within the city of one of two arguable foods
 And as is usually the case when the people really get out and take active interest in their affairs, those elected are able and competent, not by any means sighting Mrs Popejoy, the first of the fair sex in many year to step into the picture.
 A. B. Got" Hayes, Juneauite of l3 years, man with executive experience and sincere interest in his home town will take the tiler of Juneaus ship of state He has course marked out and it is a true one and tough one.
 Polling surprising large number of votes, Don Skuse he of the battered and familiar headpiece also is new face in the City Hall, but by no means a new hand at civic service. Fair conscientious and a real Juneau booster Don has much to offer in the field of public service.
 Harry Lea, incumbent, who has served fairly and ably on the Council for several years, is elected to further service His behaviour in city office has met with favor with the people of Juneau.
 Dr. William M Whitehead, another active in the field of community service adds another task to his shoulders The genial virginian turned Alaskan will contribute to the well-being of the city, will be in valuable on matters of health and sanitation and is a darn hard worker.
 Dr. J. o. Rude is returned to office as School Board Director with an overwhelming vote of con- fidence.
 Mrs. c. J. Popejoy, woman of all things, but from what we hear splendid addition to the board goes into office add the voice of the ladies' tess 'em), to the board former teacher, Juneauite a mother, the board should be truly representative with Mrs Popejoy's election.

There was one boy 24 years old who became disgusted with loafing and tried to get into the Army as a flier. He passed all the tests and was accepted, but the company re- fused to give him release" s
 Engineers at the Kearny plant had nothing to do for two and three months at a stretch, WAC Goldwale said. They sat around day after day. Finally, they took up drawing as a hobby. They would just sit there and sketch and talk to people. !"
 T gather the main business at that plant was to increase the cost of production to the Government, !" observed Senator Murray of Mon-l tana. It seems to me they could have accomplished that by merely raising wages
 No replied the WAC. ''The policy of the company seemed to be to hire two people for job rather than make one persons salary twice as high. My own impression was that the company wanted to set a precedent so it would have lower salaries after the war"
 You mean they wanted to keep wages down for the postwar years. , suggested Murray.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, APRIL 6

THURSDAY, APRIL Adverse planetary influences are strong today. There is sign help l full to heads of the armed forces of United Nations.
 HEART AND HOME: This is an suspicious day for starting fresh projects of any sort. Aries subjects are enjoined to be alert to new ideas, new methods, new inventions and to develop originality. Work CTS. however, should be careful to adapt themselves to environment and associates.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Frauds and crooked deals may be frequent through this springtime when the urge to speculate will prevail. There will be many land booms in all parts of the country, especially in the South and the far West.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Population movements owing to war emergen- cies will continue to cause local problems in many towns and cities In the West and the South conges- tion will be serious even after yic- tory has been achieved. Reluctance to return to native states will arouse resentment.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS s After adverse days this month con- ditions in Britain will improve. A period of national mourning be- cause of the passing of a royal per sonage or national leader is prog nosticated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of financial improvement by inheritance or from unexpected good luck.
 Children born on this day should have pleasant lives in which mod crate success is attained. Health may be frail for many

not only loafed, but do you realize the cost of keeping a ship in dock for a number of days? l mean there were other vessels waiting out in the stream. The job should have taken three or four days, but the ship was in dock over three weeks. '
 VISA examiner Finck also told the shocked committee that employees of Bethlehem sub-contractors had worked on two ships at once and billed the Bethlehem Company for double pay. This extra expense was, of course, borne entirely by the Government under a cost-plus con- tract. Finck said he had reported this and the loafing to his super iors and to the management, but nothing came of it.

VISA MAN TEsTIFIEs

Harry Finck, War Shipping Ad- ministration examiner, said that time saving could be effected in the Brooklyn yard of the Bethlehem Steel Company and in other ship yards in the New York City area by laying off two-thirds of their em- ployees.
 He said that, of sixty men assign ed to deck work on a dry-docked steamship, At no time could I find more than five or six working , They spent most of their time drinking coffee in the crows nest mess hall, he added.
 One night, about midnight, six teen triggers walked into the mess hall and sat down, he said. When Finck inquired what they were doing, one replied: We have to haul some lumber up from the dock, but we've got till 7:30 this morn- ing. so we can take it easy"
 When Finck dropped by the mess Lali again at 4:30 a. m, the six teen triggers were still there. When the devil are you fellows going to get to work?" he asked them, only t0 receive the same reply, "Oh, we've got till 730 a. m.,"
 The riggers finally left at 6:30, hoisted lo0 pieces of lumber to the ships decks, and lashed it. The whole operation required only 45 minutes. Yet the sixteen workmen wasted about seven hours on it.
 Finck testified that sixty other workers were assigned to repair some damaged plates on another steamship, but only five worked on the night he checked on this job. Senator Ferguson asked Finck if he actually meant that "forty-five men loafed and five worked"
 'sYes," said Finck. The others just hung around under the dock where they couldn't be seen. They
