I'm PROUD of

We're proud Of your Daddy too
and of all the fathers and
brothers and sons who have
helped smash Germany under a

And we're proud too that these
same battle weary men have
the faith and courage to join
their fellow soldiers in the Paci-
fic where they will carry~en- to
the final victory over Japan be-
fore returning to those who
work and fight on the home

DR.. Powell knows and expressly
stated what every serious student
of the color question must know,
namely, that however slow and tor
tuous are the ways of interracial-
ism, there is no hope Of progress
without it and herein lies the mer-

Grated service, enriched by a broad
humanitarianism, peculiarly quail
ify him to white Riots and Ruins,
a common sense primer in race re-
lations.
Just as DR.. Powell was the logi-
cal author of this long overdue
book, New York City was the logi-
cal setting, for here is the conflu-
ence of the color worlds where the
worlds race problem in miniature
is passing in review daily; and here
we have race relations in the raw.
Because of the fear that the post
war period will be characterized by
"riots and ruins" it was most fit
ting that DIR. Powell would make
the Harlem riot a point of depar-
ture whereby he might show the
dangers which are impending.
The dominating merit of the book
is it's boldness of expression; for
what DR.. Powell so clearly sees he
just as clearly expressed with pun
gent boldness. In other words Riots
and Ruins contains no salve but
suggestions of a lot of surgery He
depicts with blistering severity the
sins of the white man, but he re-

There can be no doubt that more

Forbes, ecretary-treasurer the Board ot Control. who expressed the opin- ion that the hospital could be op- erated as at present, with the Episcopal Church hiring, but not paving the nursing staff; Dr. Al vim T. Nelson, who said that hisI experience had taught him that while it was the responsibility of the people of the town to declue whether they wished to make change in the present set-up, they should bear in mind that running A. hospital was a profession In It. self and main catch in obtaining a smoothly running, effeciently- staffed hospital, was to have some one in charge who knew the Dus- mess thoroughly.

FORMER WRANGELLITE PUBLISHES BOOKS ON
 TOTEM LORE AND ART


 A former resident of Wrangell Edward L. Keithahn, is the auth or of a new authoritative book on the Alaskan totem pole and Indian culture generally. He is now .ourStor and librarian of
 the Alaska Historical Library and Museum at Juneau. Prior to 1941 he was on the staff of the Wrangell Institute, and be- fore that he taught among the Indians and Eskimos at Shis- maref, Hydaburg and Rake.
 The new book sMonuments in CedaFo, has 160 pages, 5S pictures, and a large map of the "totempolar region' drawn by Linn Forrest of Juneau. The cover is a 4-coolr re- production of a totem pole.
 The volume contains many pie lures of Wrangell totems and their stories The 1940 Wrangell Potlateh comes in for special mention.
 The book contains chapters on how to read a totem pole, on northwest coast decorative art, and also gives many fthe '1egions in cedar' about which tourists and residents alike often ask questions. It also reveals many hitherto un- known or little known facts about potlatches and Indian culture generally.
 Mr. Keithahn reminds his read CTS that the work of restoration instituted in Wrangell and other places in the past few years should be continued, for the time is not far distant when these monuments will be considered a resource as important to Southeastern Alaska and coastal British Columbia as the pyramids are to Egypt or the ruins of ancient Rome to modren Italy. The significant fact is sim ply that no other place in the whole world has totem poles; peo- pie will ocme here from far and wide to see them as long as they remain"
 Wrangell pictures in the book include one of Chief Shakes VII, ot the sun house." of the Kadi- shan poles. of the 65-foot Tagcook pole, of the Wrangell Raven or Chief Shakes pole and several others.

 Letter from Mrs. Atwood toLoWa.
 You have been recommended as an excellent person to undertaae the formation of an Alaska Stats- hood Association in your comnun- ity.
 Our purpose at this time is to encourage the formation of Alaska Statehood associations in every community in the Territory as soon as possible. Alaskans will be ashzI to vote next October on whether or not they want statehood.
 Although there seems To Ba general sentiment in favor oI our petitioning Congress to become the 18th state, there is also an appre- ciable hesitancy due to a lack of authoritative answers to several logical questions relative to the change in status from a territory to a state. If these questions re- main unanswered the majority vote may be against statehood.
 We have been informed that a capable student of Alaskana and political science could be made a- yailable to us for a four monlh period to make an authoritative research study on statehood for Alaska, if we could raise the neces- sary funds for such a project.
 Our plan to meet this oppor- tunity is to- invite key persons sn each Alaskan community to become incorporators of a territory-wide Alaska Statehood Association. They would also simultaneously oranize local chapter in this As sociation, membership in which would require payment of a live dollar annual dues. When these congratulations would meet in convention and elect officers, who would carry out the wishes cf the individual groups.
 "It is important that these or ganizations be set up at once as the research student will be avail able on January first We will have to be ready to take advan- tage of this opportunity then or we will lose it.
 May We hear from you fmmed- lately as to your willingness to be an incorporator in an Alaska State hood Association and also to see that a local chapter is organized Tn your town?"

 One of the important pills to SE Alaskan fishermen which may be re-introduced at the special session may be a revision of Rep. Fred Hanford's HB No. 4 in the last session. providing for an ad- ditional licensing tax on fishermen and to create an office for 'the re- lief and care of sick and disabled commercial fishermen" As you may know, at persent trollers and many other commercial fishermen working on boats under five tons are not covered for hospitalization under the marine act. Hanfords bill would have provided for them. AS we remember, the bill passed the House with flying colors, 21 to 3, with-and this is important four attorneys voting for it, but 1t struck reef in the Senate and foundered 14-2. As We remember, fishermen's 'friend'' Allen Shat tuck, who was said to have stated he was out to kill the bill before il ever got to the Senate, demanded that Henry Roden, retiring Attor- ney General, be called to the floor ot the Senate to give his opinion on legality. of the measure. Ralph Rivers, brilliant, young attorney general-elect at the time, had put his ok. on the measure but Roden told the Senate he believed it was class legislation" and questioned it constitutionality Senators Andy Gunderson and Joe Green were the only two who didn't let Roden's ruling bother them and voted for the bill. The IA other Senators tied in with Shattuck and killed it. We'll wager if Hanford intro duces the bill again at the special session it will be so darned legal that even Shattuck-Roden combin- ation can't punch it full of holes
 One of the smartest bits of pro- motion we've seen in a long time comes from our good friend and colleague Bill Baker, publisher of the Ketchikan Chronicle. A story in his paper headed: Chronicle Issues Foreign Edition" goes on to say: Today Qlast Tuesday, The Chronicle is publishing its first foreign edition. It is issued for the benefit of newspaper readers in suburban Seattle where three daily newspapers are strikebound. This sunset edition is being taken to Seattle this afternoon by Pan American airways and will be available to readers there during their dinner hour.

LOCAL s. s. BOARD
 DESIGNATED AS VETS
 INFORMATION CENTER

44N4 OAAN1n HUN GE13 4E1k
 Designation of Selective Service Local Board No. 15 as an official Veterans Information Center of the United States Government was announced by James Nolan, Chair man of the Board today. The Board is located at Wrangen, Alaska.
 The new Veterans Information Center has been officially named by the Retaining and Reemploy- ment Administration which is charged by law with the eoordin- ation of U. & Government agencies serving veterans The Boards location as a Veterans Information Center is identified by a colorful poster bearing a large reproduction of the gold discharge emblem.
 ''Our local board has inducted a large number of men into the armed forces during the last five years" said Chairman Nolan. Now we are ready to assist them in reestablishing themselves in civilian life, if they want and need our assistance.
 Congress has provided many tights, privelkges and benefits for ex-service men and women. These rights and benefits are pro vided by many different laws and are administered by a number of different Government agencies. It is the purpose of our Veterans Information Center to aid the veteran in getting to the right place and obtaining the right in- formation so that he may take advantage of all benefits to which he is entitled"
 MT. Nolan pointed out that persons who left positions to enter the armed forces are entitled by law to reinstatement in their old joE3 when they return, if they fulfill certain requirements of the law. He explained that it is part of the local boards function to assist the veteran in asserting his unemployment rights. The loc4 board is also charged by law with rendering aid to veterans seeking new employment.
 Many veterans, of course, will not need assistance" said MT. Nolan 'sfor industry and business in general already have seen to it that their former employees in service are welcomed back to their old jobs-or better ones. But, a large number of veterans are not familiar with their rights to unemployment and what they are entitled to in the way Of preference for new jobs. Full in- Rprmatipn is available at the local board and the veteran is urged to come in and talk over his problems"
 Chairman Nolan said the board also will advise and assist the veteran with his other problems including his insurance, G. I. loans, educational opportunities, and the like "All these services, ' he said, "are free to the veteran for the asking, and he will find the boards members, reemnloy- ment committeeman and employ ees ready to do the utmost to sdve him time and trouble in get ting back in stride as civilian.
