Great was the celebration in The Sentinel office Great also, we suspect, will be the feeling in the hearts of our advertisers. From now on they get advertisements the way they were meant to look.
 The stereotyper is similar to those used in the biggest and best shops and is one of the newest of postwar models. As We always say -nothing's too good for The Sen tinelii!

BOMBS THREATEN SAFETY
 OF LIBERTY SHIP AT tg

NEW YORK - The hsmry L. Thoreau, Liberty ship out of Ma ples for Cape May, N. J., has mes aged the Navy that 5000 tons Of bombs aboard are breaking loose and If they give way entirely, nothing can save us" The Navy said it was not a troopship.
 The Thoreau reported she was about APO miles southwest of the Azores, the Navy said, adding that she had about a normal crew of 40. The message said the bombs were stowef in between ahe decks and the hatch. The bombs were probably some of those unused by the American air forces in Italy being returned to an ammunition depot in the United States.
 An unidentified ship radioed that she was standing by the Thoreau but could do nothing i'm mediately to assist.

 Present plans call for the es tablishment of a surplus property office soon in Juneau for the pur- pose of serving Southeast Alaska. It probably will be created shortly after the first of the year. The Ju- neau port of embarkation, which was built by te Army during the war, will be used for storing sur plus equipment which will De of fered for sale to residents of Southeast Alaska Appraisals are now being made for some goods which have been declared surplus and it is anticipated a sale will be called for the s. E. within a few weeks. Surplus property an, nounced due notice will be given in advance so that potential buyers will know what is available. Un-I der the surplus property act Fed eral agencies get first prefer ence, state and territorial agencies are second, municipalities third and veterans fourth.

 There's considerable agitation in the Territory again for Territorial control of liquor. A so-caIled Ter ritorial Action Committee" has been started in Juneau, main pur- pose Of which appears 10 be to try and get another referendum bill through the special session, simil- ar to the one in 1940. to be voted upon in next years general elec- tion. It appears doubtful that the special session will have time to concern itself with the liquor pro- blem, but there is a growing sen timent for Territorial liquor stores. Petersburg recently got out a pet ition bearing about 30 names ask ing that Territorial liquor stores be made a special business of the special session. Similar requests have been made from other places in the Territory, particularly the Interior and Westward villages where law enforcement is difficult. There seems to be two major argu- ments for Territorial stores. One is the contention the Territory would derive much greater reyen- ue from the liquor business if it were handled only in Territorial stores. The other is the question of control. It is argued by the pro- ponents that under a system of stores liquor could be outlawed from communities where liquor control trouble now exists. These contentious and many other, as well as answering arguments have been heard many times before ill the legislative halls. If the senti- ment continues to grow for Ter ritorial liquor stores they may be heard again
