 To this end the General Fedora tion of Women's Clubs urges the American delegation at San Fran cisco to submit concrete sugges- tion for the inclusion of Con- mission of Human Rights and Fun damental Freedoms under the Ecor- omic and Social Council provided for in the Dumbarton Oaks Proposal which shall guarantee the consid- eration of individual injusticeS which lead to war, and the protec- tion of sociological rights of human beings essential to spiritual as well as material growth.
 Mrs. Dickinson and Mrs. William Dick Sporborg, of New York, the General Federation'S Chairman of International Relations are calling upon the 2,500,OO0 women of the or ganization to show united front in supporting the Federation's stand for a world organization which will minimize the chances of future wars, not only through the use of force to prevent aggression but through the guaranty of individual rights and freedoms.

Mayor Ernest Parsons last even- ing keynoted the views of Juneaus new city administration.
 In brief address immediately following the administration oi oaths of office to the new mayor and four newly-elected city councilmen Mayor Parsons recognized the addi- tional responsibilities to the voters which had been assumed by him and his colleagues particularly with regard to the appraisal of Juneaus public utilities.
 Mayor Parsons expressed his ap- preciation of the efforts of the re- tiring civic officials and declared that the new administration would be grateful for any assistance that might be offered by those stepping down. He expressed the hope that those leaving office would continue their interest in the affairs of the city.
 Looking forward to a period of greatly increased building activity, the incoming Mayor stated that a new building code is perhaps the immediate problem of most impor- tance facing the new administration. He also pledged efforts in behalf of improving accommodations for Ju- neau,s fishing fleet.
 Remarking that inauguration of new civic officials in the spring of the year is not conducive to great est efficiency in carrying out the many activities that must be accom- plished by the city during the sum- mer months, Mayor Parsons ex- pressed himself in favor of holding city elections in the fall, in con- junction with the general elections,
