sdering the fact that little if any help has come from
any of the people of Juneau The financial affairs of
the city have been kept in excellent shape.
But this is thankless Job The last series of
elections have served no purpose except officially
seat city officers who would have been elected even
if only two votes were cast. And SO our
municipal government is not strong because If local
government is to be strong it must be supported by
strong and vigorous majority of Juneau citizens inter-
ested in municipal affairs and taking part in municipal
political life.
Juneauites will have opportunity to revive their
interest in municipal affairs and this opportunity
comes with the election to be held in April.
Only if all of us take active intelligent part
in that election will city government be repre-
sentative of us.

KNOW YOUR CITY

There is growing tendency these days for the
average citizen and voter to damn government in
general and consider his duty done And much talk
is also made here these days about the growing drift
of power to Washington and the lessening of local
powers and duties, But very few of us take any
interest at all in local government.
Juneau's City Council meets twice month and if
three OF four Juneauites attend one or the other
meeting in any month it's record There prob
ably aren't 100 people in Juneau who can even name
their city's councilmen without stopping and think
ing and then it is doubtful if 200 Juneautes
the men who govern their community.
Those condemning the Capitalization of govern
ment in Washington would be better to attend to the
problems of their home community and the drift
toward Capitalization will diminish. Fortify the
smaller units of strengthen their hands
and the tendency will be stamped out.
Juneaus municipal government under Mayor
Harry l. Lucas has been generally good one. con-

LABOR's WAR RECORD

Before registering protest at
the White House. Murray wrote a
letter to Genral Marshall, saying
that he had heard the Army was
dissatisfied with labor, and without
asking whether Marshall had or
had not held his famous press con-
ference attacking labor, he request
ed the Chief of Staff to give his
opinion ON the job labor had been
doing during the war General Mar
shall replied that he did not know
much about it and was passing the
letter on to General Somervell, in
command of Army Service Forces.
Somervell, in turn, wrote Murray
glowing tribute regarding labor S
part in the war Nelson also wrote
Murray that labor had done a mag
nificent job. Finally, Secretary Per-
kins, in reply to Murray, wrote him
that work stoppages had set back
production only eight hundredths of
one percent, and that labor'S record
was SO 92il00 percent perfect.
Thus armed Murray and Green
went to the White House, laid the
letters before the President.
There is the record Mr.. Presi-
dent" Murray said from your
own people. We are not perfect, but
few people are perfect, not even
your Administration, and I doubt
if anyone in the war has a better
record than labor with SO 90 l0l
percent"
The President expressed surprise
and said he had not realized labor's
record was that high.

promise extraordinary features in
the national political campaign.
The unexpected is to happen. Pres

SOLDIERS REACTION TO
STRIKES

Murray went on to point out that
there were other things also the
President didn't realize. namely
that many, many times the War
Manpower Commission had asked
workers to pick up and move to
other communities, taking lower
wages in order 10 speed production
in vital war industries.
After listening carefully, the
President finally explained his rea-
son for proposing the national SER
vice act. He based it on the psy-

Local Girl Aboard Vessel Writes Of Experience In Seymour NarrOWs

A first hand story Of the Lak- ina accident was received ln Kodiak Thursday in a letter written by Miss Ellen Leite, who was on the boat en rou'e to Seattle to resume her training at the Providence School of Nurs- ing. Relatives and friends of other passengers contacted late yesterday had not received any word about the mishap.
 Miss Leite's letter, written aboard the North Coast on Monday, said:
 "The V weather was a trlfle on the windy side crossing the Queen Charlotte sound and we made little time on our steamer. The tide is always strong in the Seymour Narrows and was ex- ceptionally so last Saturday. The Lakina couldn't make it through so it struggled back to anchor until evening. Soon after we pulled anchor and tried to swing the ship around. The tide became so strong it swung the ship around and we hit 8 reef, You could reach off the stern and practically touch the bluff.
 "The crew ran around in life preservers telling everyone that everything was OK. It was real ly funny but wouldn't have been if little Canadian boat hadn't pulled us away from shore.
 The propeller shaft was dam- aged and we didn't have any control of the boat, Our captain gave orders for everyone to pack and to stay up until further or ders were given. Two Canadian ships came up and at II pm we were told to relax.
 Yesterday a Canadian Pacl- fife boat came to take half of the passengers. It had several ser vicemen aboard so they took all of our servicemen and three wo- men.
 They wanted me to go but l thought I'd rather go with the rest of the women and children.
 "The North Coast came to our rescue yesterday. We were transferred to 8 smaller Canada an boat, the Commodore, and then to this ship"
