A number of those newly-made
friends had keen coming to the club
from the day of its opening during
preceding December. Indeed, at
least one of them t"Buddy' Rice
had helped to renovate the old build
ing and fashion it into a clubhouse.
No two USO clubs, it's obvious,
are exactly alike-n quality, We
mean, not physical appearance. Each
one takes on its character and its
personality in part from its staff;
but more basically, we think, such
personality and character are shap-
ed out Of the lives of the servicemen
who make the club their home from
day to day and from month to
month. So it's understandable why
we in Juneau feel that these partic-
ular men have played major role
in establishing and maintaining the
spirit of special frienNliness that
has helped to give our Club the
reputation of being somewhat uni
que organization.
We bid an affectionate farewell
to these fellows as they start theii
journies to their respective homes-to
Marvin Anderson, headed for his
home in Kansas City, Missouri;
Francis Blackwell, Kimball, South
Dakota; Leonce ("Blackie') Braud,

friends. One of them is popular
former ESQ girl, Audrey Rude Gill
bert, who left this morning for
Portland to rejoin her soldier hus-
band. Dick Gilbert, whom she ORR
ginally met right here at our Club;
the others are members of the local
Fort Company whom we've known
and liked a lot ever since the spring
CT l944-Tony Agnello, Tony Deddo,
Bruno Giovannoni, Harley Hood, Ro-
man Kosinski and Edward Milton
to each of whom we wish every
happiness.
The Hail" part of the item is
belated (but not the least bit rou-
tine) greeting of welcome to very at
tractive Glorya Gudbrandson, whose
unexpected return to Juneau wasn't
at all recent, having occurred some
months ago, but nevertheless con-
tinues to be a source of abiding sat-
isfaction to us here at the USO
where she is delightful and useful
member Of the Girls Service Organ
iZation.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1945-11-08

The only trouble with that kind of
comment is just exactly that-its
from our friends It's very pleas
ant to hear, naturally But what we
need land urgently solicit are the
criticism, and the suggestions, of
strangers who will judge the pro-
gram strictly on its merits and tell
us how it rates in their opinion as
entertainment.
Another question. Wouldn't YOU
like to get up team of three con-
testants and challenge service
mems team some Tuesday night? In
these days while the fellows are get
ting steadily nearer and nearer to
4 their own resumption of civilian
status, it's appropriate that all
USOs should establish ever-closer
/ relationships between the men and
4 the clubs civilian friends. One step
! in this direction for our USO would
be the sponsoring of quiz contests
between the two groups Such meet
ings across the quiz table would
mean added fun for the listeners
in and the establishment Of new
friendships among the competitors
themselves.
How about II, some OF you 1olKS!
What do you say, you Rotarians? or
you members of the Lions Club? Or
the members of the AWVS? Or
some of our own USO Patronesses?
Or you girls who work down at the
Support with the Army, how about
matching wits with them on
Tuesday night at the USO? or
Maybe a trio of High School stu
dents would care to issue chal-
lenge?
There will be prizes for the VIM
ners, of course. And we're conf
dent you'll find the experience It
self lot of fun, win lose or draw.
If you're interested, do let us hear
from you-and SOON, please.
One thing more Don't forget that
these competitions are team contests,
not contests among individuals. And
TIE answers are the teams answers
for which the whole group must
assume responsibility. So you need
not feel any embarrassment If you
announce an answer, and the answer
turns out to have been guess ana
a poor one, at that The procedure
is simple: You just register scoWl,
then turn quickly and look with
scorn at your silent team mates. The
quizmaster will report your scoWl
to the listeners-in and they will nat
urally conclude that YOU knew the
right answer all the time and that
you bravely spoke up and took the
rap for those silent team mates Of
yours who insisted that you answer
the question that way against your
own better judgment. Under this
system you practically can't lose. If
you guess right, you win personal
glory-if you guess wrong, your loss
is only in the prestige of being
associated with such stupid pair
Of team mates

LOIS HAIRED

Although she isn't yet quite old
enough to join the USO Girls Service
Organization, Lois Haired certainly
rates special mention here in this
column today. She has long been
generous friend of the Club and
has helped us on a number Of &C.
easions. especially with her fine
voice as well as her very charming
personality So we want her to
realize that we deeply regret her in
jury suffered in the snow on Sun
day, and that we are wishing for
her a quick recovery!
And for ourselves we are wishing
another opportunity to hear that
lovely voice of hers in the USO at
Lois earliest convenience.

Our Burden of Excess
Government

They certainly support MORE
agencies of government than any
other people in the world today, or
at any time in American or human
history.
They surely have the most Elk.
PENSIVE government in the world
today, and in all history.
They have the most EXTRAVA-
CANT and the most RECKLESS
government
If they do not have the most
CORRUPT government, they are
lucky.
If they continue to be complacent
and indifferent and submissive about
the staggering accumulation of gov
ernlng agencies and government
powers, they will soon and very
surely become the WORST governed
people in the world
GOVERNMENT on this monument
VI tai and burdensome scale encour-
ages and INVITES extravaganza
and recklessness, corruption and
incompetency.
Government on such scale
naturally and inevitably becomes
irresponsible and arrogant, increas-
ingly an bitio us to expand and
enhance it's powers, aspiring and con-
triving to PERPETUATE itself in
both the profits and the security of
office.
Government on such a scale in
creases the disposition of the office
holder to consider his favored station
as his RIGHT, and let us remember
that Thomas Jefferson wrote anx
iously and prophetically of this very
thing, saying
IF due participation of office
is a matter of right, hoU are Uacan-
cies to be obtained? Those by death
are feW; by resignation, none"
The American people have no
excuse to be i'll informed or ignorant
about their grave and mounting
EXCESS of governing institutions.
They should divest themselves of
their indifference and eomplaeeney
about it, lest they and their free way
of life be DESTROYED by it.

THE United States Census Bureau
Il has issued a report disclosing the
amazing fact that the American
people, who have additionally and
habitually aspired TO be and have
probably THOUGHT themselves to
be. the LEAST GOVERNED people
III the world, now have their lives
and property ruled by MORE THAN
$4,000 Zone hundred and fifty-tive
thousand) SEPARATE GOVERN
MENT BODIES.
AT the top of this vast structure
of regulation, of course, is the FED
ERAL government with It's laby
rinth of agencies, bureaus, depart
ments. divisions and subdivisions.
Next to the top are forty eight
STATE governments with their be-
wildering wilderness of regulating
bodies.
But in addition, as the census
bureau reports, there are $3.50
COUNTY governing organizations.
There are 1879 TOWN OR
TOWNSHIP bodies.
There are 1920 MUNICIPALI-
TIES.
There are 1O8,579 SCHOOL DIS
TRICT units and 5000 units operat-
ing in SPECIAL districts
IF THE sheer weight of numbers
Il obscures the significance of these
facts and befuddles the American
people, the census bureau report
clarifies and dramatiZes the situation
in another way.
Within the great federal strHe
ture of government alone, many of
its branches overlapping and dupli-
eating each other and even nullify-
ing and defeating each other, there is
a total CIVILIAN employment of
1885, 900 persons.
And within the almost equally
vast structure of state and local gov
eminent units, there is employment
of civilians reaching the total of
3,168.000 persons.
Instead of being the LEAST gov
erned people in the world. the Amer
lean people are probably the MOST
governed people in the world

they are skilled craftsmen, they are
intelligent Americans, they are
representatives of the great bulk of
the people who should run our
nation.
THEY have been seduced by false
Il prophets.
They have been susceptible BE
CAUSE THEY ARE decent persons
dedicated by tradition to the theory
of open discussion of public ques
tons.
1t is the old story of irresponsible
left wing labor propagandists being
smarter and more persuasive than
the undramatic arguments of man
agement.
Here is a strike doomed to failure.
It is doomed because its conse-
ouences are so immediate and so
dreadful.
1t would make of this city dead
city.
1t would paralyze war industries
1t would paralyze transportation.
TT WOULD darken and make bleak
the homes of everybody including
the strikers.
1t would retard by bloody months
American military victory in Europe
and in the Pacific.
1t cannot therefore be permitted.
Discontinued Edison workers
should recall the laconic reminder of
the late Calvin Coolidge who said:
There is no right to strike
against the public safety by any
body anywhere anytime"

'AnyIDOdy Anywhere Anytime

THE War Labor Board is scheduled
l. today to consider grievances of
Detroit Edison production employees
who have voted to strike
On behalf Of everybody in De-
troit this newspaper hopes that some
compromise short of strike will
materialize.
We hope for satisfactory settle
ment because:
FIRST-Such a strike cannot
succeed and cannot help anybody;
SECOND Breaking of the
strike, which will be inevitable and
immediate could not help but inspire
mutual prejudices resulting in future
flare ups;
Labor management re-
lationship, Improvement of which is
our sole hope for orderly recon-
version to peacetime production,
would be fractured by Detroit Edi-
son quarrel because of the long
record of tranquil association be-
tween workers and employers in that
particular utility.
A STRIKE now by Edison work
n ers would be a substantial gain
for the communistic elements in the
American labor movement.
They would be justified in saying
to the decent rank and file of Ameri-
can labor you'd better come tOith
us. Here is Dhat redctionary capital

TO THE EDITOR:
THERE was dlscouraglng news
Il a few days ago II was
stated that as soon as victory
is won in Europe our men will
be moved directly 10 the Pa
cific.
! doubt if our boys will relish
fighting and winning one war,
only TO be shipped TO another
one.
In my opinion, the only fair
way is 10 give those boys a
lengthy furlough in the States,
then ship them over, or TO sta
ton them in the States and
have some of our physically FIT
desk soldiers fight the Pa
cific war.
