Montgomery League
|0f Women Voters
Backs Charter Plan
People Must Remain
VieiIont After Adoption,
Speaker Declares

The Montgomery County League
dorsed the proposed Montgomery
County charter and pledged its
membership to work for the charters
success at the polls in November.
Action was taken at meeting in
the Chevy Chase Methodist Church
yesterday after a panel discussion Of
the subject.
Mrs. Dean Dinwoodey reviewed
the history of the charter move
ment. Referring to charter OPP
ponepts' public statement that the
charter would make Montgomery
County governmental guinea pig"
Mrs Dinwoodey asked Mrs. MINER
Hostetler, who served on the Chartey
Board, to tell about the expert
ment"
Reviews Charter Work.
"The charter is as nearly what the
people of Montgomery County asked
for as it was possible to make it
lunder State constitutional restric-
tions," Mrs. Hostetler said. She
pointed out that the charter was
completed after reviewing the char
ters of number of other cities and
counties, receiving expert advice
from constitutional lawyers and
holding 81 meetings of the board
and four public hearings.
In answering the question, "Will
the tax rate be lowered under char
ter?" Mrs. Waiter E. Perry declared,
Probably not, but instead of getting
a model T Ford when you are pay
ing for Rolls Royce, you will get
your moneys worth in efficient gov
eminent"
Sees Vigilance Needed.
Mrs. Perry pointed out several
danger signals: The concentra-
tion of power in the hands of one
man under a county manager, the
possibility of electing a weak and
unreliable county council, the dan
ger of charter proponents resting on
their laurels once charter is in
effect, and the lack of control over
the Liquor Control Board.
| A Nominating Committee, headed
by Mrs. Hugo Heimke, will submit
a slate of officers for election at the

petition with their old man.
Furthermore, daughters never
make a man feel old. Sons do,
yes. They even seem to take a de-
light in pushing pop into retire
ment. But daughters, with their
calculated compliments and ad-
miration, make a man feel young.
If he wanted sons to carry on
in his business Or profession the
man who was disappointed in
having daughters could have
turned the disappointment into
satisfaction by encouraging his
daughters to become career wom-
en-. He would have stood just as
good chance of getting a daugh-
ter to follow in his footsteps as a
son. Look at all the disappointed
dads, whose sons have decided
against being a lawyer or doc
tor like dad.
And it's daughters-not sons
who can be counted on to stay
close to their family through the
years. There's real truth in that
old saying about a daughter be-
ing a daughter all of her life.
It's an old-fashioned man who
thinks he has been cheated when
the stork keeps leaving daughters
instead of sons. Daughters no
longer belong exclusively to their
mothers and to feminine society.
Given half a chance a girl today
can become just as good friend
of her fathers as his son -. per-
haps even a better friend. For a
man accepts a daughters short
comings with better grace than
he accepts sons. And daugh-
ter is more likely to humor faith
err in his wishes than is a boy,
eager to prove his own superiority.
It's too bad that father wasn't
willing to give his daughters a
chance to take the place of sons.

 PASSES ON
Mort H. TruesdeI| Dies af Yakima-FuneraI Serv-
 ices Tomorrow

Mort H. Truesdell, one of Juneau's best known oldtime residents, passed away at Yakima, Washington, on Monday, according to advices re- ceived here Funeral services will be held at Yakima tomorrow under the auspices of the Elks and inter ment will be in the Elks' plot in the Washington State city.
 Truesdell had been aging here for the past several years and several weeks ago he went South and en- tered the Swedish Hospital in Seat tie. Dr. T. F. Nelson, attending phy- sician, at the hospital. after diagnos- ing his case, said Truesdell could be just as well taken care of at any family residence Dr. Nelson so notified Roy Welshons, of Yakima, and the latter went to Seattle and took Truesdell to Welshons home in Yakima by plane. Welshons was "fathered" by Truesdell in his early life and was considered sort of stepson by the Juneau pioneer.
 Born in Wisconsin
 Mort Truesdell was born in Ken osha, Wisconsin, on February 27, 1872, and would have been 75 years old had he survived to February 27 this year Of his early life, little is known here but he came to Juneau in 1912 or 1913. For years he was associated with James Russell, on lower Front Street, gunsmith and locksmith. Later, Truesdell joined the staff of the old c. w. Young Company and took complete charge of the sportings goods department. He was an expert with the shot, gun, had an eye like an eagle and held records for shooting here. Sev- eral times he went East and re- turned to Juneau with honors for craftsmanship.
 Established Own Shop
 Leaving the c. w. Young Com pany, Truesdell was Deputy United States Marshal for time and later established his own shop and for years was located on Seward Street in the Valentine Building, later moving to the building on Second Street between Seward and Frank lin where he was located up to the time of his departure for the South. If rifle, pistol or lock needed fix ing, Mort could do it. He could feel rifle or pistol and with his eyes shut, tell the make He was mem- bers of the local Elks Lodge, No. 420, and never failed to visit the club rooms once at least every day. In recent months his walking was re- tarded and the only exercise he took was from his shop to restaurant, then back again and during the afternoon or evening would lock up shop and go to the Elks' Club. He was good card player and relished a stiff game. He was familiarly known to his legion of friends, also by children, as Good Old Mort"
