Mae George Leaves Alaska Airlines' Shopping Service To Take Over Gift Shop

Mae George, who has been in charge of Alaska Airlines' Shop ping Service ever since it started, has resigned to take over owner ship of the Tillianna Gift Shop in Anchorage. The company regrets to see her go. She and Colonel Castner, vice president of the company, originated the service late last year, and through Mrs. Georges untiring efforts, it has become a real boon to Alaskans.
 Mae George is formerly of Jun eau, and has a wide acquaintance in Alaska. She made trips to the various stops on Alaska Airlines routes, renewing old contacts, and making new ones, with individuals and merchants; finding out the needs of each community. Thus Alaskans learned that they can order what is unobtainable in To- cal stores through Alaska Airlines' Shopping Service at no extra cost. The service procures the goods in Anchorage, Juneau, or even Seat tie, and ships them by Alaska Air lines.
 Able Lavada Holman is now in charge of Shopping Service head quartered in the airline's down. town Anchorage office. She is aided by Jane Law, wife of the company's president, Theodore N. Law. Both women are kept con- stantly busy filling orders for ev- erything from cat. parts to per fume. For example, in the past few months Homer citizens have ordered: rifle shells, brooms, ham, burger, yeast, truck and car parts, anti-freeze, and a 75O-watt bulb for the Chamber of Commerce movie protector.
 Besides practical things, a look at the Shopping Service order books will show that Alaskans are eager for the good things of life too: clothes of quality, fresh food, and many luxuries. From Nome have come orders for a. female canary, 6 pair of 51 guage hose, clothespins, buttons, lace-trimmed n i g h tgowns, cocktail napkins, dressy black shoes, and guitar strings. One man ordered twelve dance records, including two walt zes. And Shopping Service sent yard goods to the home economics class at Kodiak High School.
 Besides shopping, the service takes clothes to the cleaner for out-of-towners, sends packages and wires for people in remote spots, procures jobs, and some times even rooms.

but indicates the development and
the growth of industries already
existant in the South and the West.
''In a land where raw materials
are close at hand, competent lab
or is abundant and local capital is
available, the removal of the
freight rate shackles will release
a great and powerful industrial en-
ergy in the section that has for
so long been in an unfair position
and suffered unequal opportunity
in the establishment and develop
ment and development of indus
try"
Cherry said that with a free
transportation and a fair rate
structure, southern industry needs
no longer to be retarded.
"Agitation for the change that
was recently ordered,' he said,
has stemmed from long years of
demand throughout the south and
the west for parity This parity
with the east was necessary to sti-
mulate the development of indus
tries. Now it is here. Now the long
effort has eliminated in lifting
of the barriers to the development
of the south-in the realism of agri-
culture as we'll as Industry"
Cherry said that I'VE have seen
the elimination of a long felt and
established principle that freight
rate discrimination is a barrier
to development and diversified

in the south should show an in
crease, and that increase will re-
fleet in the per capita wealth of the

longing pattern of industry that is
foretold in the laboratory phases

COUNTY DOUBLES
NUMBER OF FARMS

The number of farms in New

doubled in the past five years, ac-
cording to the preliminary count
of returns of the 1915 Census of
Agriculture released yesterday by
Newton Robinson, supervisor for
the 1945 farm census in the Second
North Carolina Census District.
There were 720 farms reported in

as compared with 324 in 1910, and
435 in 1885.

Moreover, these Italians and
