THE MILK
QUESTION

JUNEAU, Alaska-To the Editor
of the Empire Are we living IN a
FREE America or are we not?
Too often people hesitate to ex-
press themselves on controversial
questions for political or business
reasons. 1t is a sad commentary on
American democracy if it is true
that a person cannot talk because
he is AFRAID Of losing his job. Isn't
that Just what happened in Ger
many? People had to agree with
those in power. or whisper to each
other if they disagreed. and finally
they were AFRAID to even whisper
Can that happen in America? There
lis more cause to be alarmed over
this condiaon than over the con-
troversial subject of pasteurization
of milk.
I have been in number of cities
in the United States during the past
winter and have always been priv
ilged to buy raw milk. Even in
Seattle, where, because of the great
influx of war workers, sanitary con-
ditions are not all what they should
be, you can still buy raw or pas
teurized milk as you choose.
These cities also have Public
Health Departments, and if raw
milk is so dangerous to public health
wonder why they are permitting
ii to be sold down there?
Who wants to buy milk from sick
cows even if it is pasteurized? The
Public Health Department might try
to get closer inspection of dairy
herds SO that we might have milk
from healthy stock
There are a lot of unhealthy con-
ditiens in Alaska where no milk at
all is consumed except canned
milk; and until it can be proved
beyond q reasonable doubt that the
health of Alaskans is being greatly
impaired l think we should still be
FREE to choose the kind of milk we
pasteurized or raw And
to express ourselves without FEAR.
(Signed} ELLA d. SMITH.

INDIAN OFFICE
OFFICIALS ARE
ROTARY GUESTS

| Claude M. Hirst, retiring Genera
Superintendent of the Alaska Office
of Indian Affairs, and Donald @
Foster, who assumes the position
April /, were guests of the Juneau
Rotary Club this noon at a lunch-
con meeting in the Gold Room OF
the Baranof Hotel Both gave short
talks.
Hirst outlined the growth Of the
office from a $4,000 organization
eight years ago when he took over
at it's head to a point where the
annual appropriation now is about
two and half million dollars.
The Departments of Welfare and
Medicine of the Indian Office, he
said. still do not have enough funds
to do the job expected. However, he
said, an appropriation for the con-
struction of tuberculosis sanitar-
jun has been approved for use after
the war.
The natives of Alaska, Hirst said,
are one of the TerTitory's greatest
assets-one group that will stay
with Alaska and well worth includ-
ing in all postwar planning.
Hirst said that he has enjoyed his
eight years in Alaska and his trav-
els throughout the Territory. He
said he would leave for his new
assignment in the Great Lakes area
next week.
Hirst said that Foster, who sue
ceeds him, coming from the Carson
City, Nevada, office, is a man of
experience and that the officials of
the Indian office think highly of
him Foster has been with the SER
vice for 10 years, the last years
in Nevada.
Foster, introduced to the Rotar-
ians by Hirst, said he has always
wanted to come to Alaska and that
the way he has been received in
Juneau has been very gratifying
Ne said that he was particularly
in following Hirst as Gen
sral Superintendent OF the Alaska
Office and that he intends to carry
out Hirsts program.

MRS. (. {. ENGSTR0M
SPEAKS AT LABOR
MEETING IN JUNEAU

Mrs. f. E. Engstrom of Douglas,
Republican candidate for the 4-year
term of the Territorial Senate,
spoke last night at the meeting of
the Mine and Mill Workers Union,
urging the labor unions to get be-
hind the candidates who are SYM
pathetic to the cause of the work
ing man in order to successfully pass
legislation which will benefit him.
Despite an overwhelming majority
in the Territorial House and Sen
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1944-03-28

ate, the present administration has
not passed a single labor bill of
merit, Mrs. Engstrom claimed. She
criticized the present Workmen's
Compensation Act as one of the
poorest in the country.
Although minimum wage law
for women was passed the measure
does not prescribe maximum hours
or provide for sanitary conditions
and is entirely inadequate, Mrs.
Engstrom said
My home is in Alaska, I am a
year-around resident, my husband
was born in- Alaska, both my sons
were born in Juneau, and I have
the best interests of the Territory
at heart Mrs. Engstrom declared.
Mrs. Engstrom said that if the
labor party here puts forward a
platform she will support it one
hundred percent.
