typical o1 his philosophy of life. It read:
 "As President and principle own CT of the Cleveland Cloth Mills, l desire to say that the Mill is not for sale and that no change il: plant personnel or policy is con templated.
 "As soon as my son, o. Max Gardner Jr., returns from Japan, he will take his place as a member Of the staff and carry on the tradi- tions of the family.
 "It was the pride and joy of James Webb. Decker as you called him, to feel a deep interest in ev- cry employee of this Mill and to know them by their first names ana to regard them as one large fam fly. I hope and pray that this fine human relationship will be main tained
 T regret that James Webb did not live to announce an agreed policy that commences Feb. 4 There will be a wage increase Of 15 percent, effective as of that date.
 Having posted this notice, Max Gardner finally yielded to the urg- ing of his old friend, Secretary ot the Treasury Vinson, to become Under Secretary of the Treasury and help him run the difficult, all- important fiscal policies of the Ma tion. Despite the lack of Senatorial headlines, it was one of the best appointments Harry Truman has made.

ANOTHER PROBLEM

With the extraordinary session of the Seventeenth Legislature nearing the halfway mark, more than 50 bills have been tossed into the crowded hopper ot the House and the Senate trails with about 20 pro- posed measures This session apparently was called for the purpose of considering emergency legislation so the people take it for granted that all of these proposed bills are of the utmost importance to the people of Alaska.
 We've been shivering in our boots for fear the thing will be carried far that legislator will come up with bill to appropriate funds for the rellef of people without oothbrushes And it's really amazed us with all of this other important egslation going in that some legislator hasn't across the article in the March issue of the American Dental Association which contends that half the American people do not brush their teeth-and half don't even own tooth brush shocking situation! According to the writer only 185 900 toothbrushes were manufactured ln the United States during l944 and only 106OOOOO0 ot these were available to civilians The author of the article figures that it would have taken 20O00O,OOO toothbrushes supply two brushes to everyone in the nation between the ages of and 6O apparently the toothbrushing years
 This is a startling deduction-that even in the

FAMILY TRAGEDY

Gardner has never run for cf- flee or wanted public office since he left the Governors mansion in North Carolina. He was offered several jobs by President Roosevelt out turned them down, preferring so spend whatever spare timc he had on his front porch at Shelby, N. C., in an old rocking chair giv- en to him by the negroes of Shelby 35 years ago when they contributed 20 cents each to buy him we'd ding present.
 But recently a tragedy robbed Max of his eldest son, James. It was bitter blow. James had been he manager of the Gardner rayon mills near Shelby. The other boys were all away in the armed servic- e3, and there was no one left in the family to carry on. This led to rumors that the mill woEic be cold.
 At this point, Max Gardner post ed a notice in his mill-a notice

A Trained Naval Reserve

The finest most modernly equipped warship is only effective in battle as the men who man It. The fighting ships putting now into the reserve

 The Naval Reserve force contemplated would be to the Navy what the National Guard has been and, greatly enlarged will be to the Regular Army m the years to come Its members would be kept abreast or developments in the science of naval warfare ana familiarized with the new weapons. They propapy would not be prepared groups to take ship to sea- but they could be nerspersed through the fleet
 with trained crews without the loss of efficiency that would result had they been receiving no training at all through the years.
 We need only recall the disaster of Pearl Harbor to realize the need of such trained reserve Admiral Kimmel testified at the Pearl Harbor inquiry that the principal reason he had not inaugurated tull ar and sea search in the days immediately preceding 1he Japanese attack because it would have necesstaeo heavy curtaiment of the training program on whch he was then engaged and which he considered or naramount importance A reservoir of 100000 partly trained men preceding the with Japan would nave made unnecessary the chances that were taken m fighting ships with large percentages ot almost WhoHy untrained personnel The heavy cruiser Salt Lake City. fer example, fought the unequal Battle of the Komandorskis with crew that was over 50 per cent green men Many of them never had been to sea- except for the brief trip from the West Coast to Homo lulu until they boarded the Salt Lake City ana heaoeo north for the longest surface engagement of modern naval warfare which within three weeks of their first sea duty

flush of wartime prosperity the majority of Americans do not use toothbrushes
 It is an established fact that to keep teeth healthy you should brush them regularly and is certainly seems that an opportunity exists for lawmakers to drop in bill making toothbrushng compulsory and furnish ing tcothbrushes to those unfortunates who are with out The bill could also set up Board of Toothbrush Examiners and crew of inspectors.
 And such a bill would be just about as important during this special session 75 per cent of the bills already introduced

JosEPHUS DANIELS NEEDLES

Down in his home state, some North Carolinians haven't always considered Gardner a liberal One of these is Josephus Daniels, ex- Secretary of the Navy, who for years has attacked the Gardner Machine" which has appointed judges, elected governors and put Max's own brother-in-l Jaw in the Governors mansion and the Sen- ate.
 Sometimes after Jcsephus had blasted Max with his most scorch- ing editorials, Governor and Mrs. Gardner would invite the Daniels 10 dinner Josephus would say grace, they would forget the edi- torial blasts in the morning paper, and all would be pleasant-for the evening.
 As the years have passed, Joseph IS Daniels and Max Gardner have become better friends. And when you look around at the public schools of North Carolina, it's high literacy, it's tolerance, you have to conclude that either the Gardner machine or the way Josephus Dan- iels has kept it on it's toes, or both, have been healthy thing.

DUCHESS OF WINDSOR

Despite the fact that he has re- presented Coca Cola, Pan American Airways and various shipping lines, Max Gardner has become more li- beral with the years. But he has never lost his Southern charm and his ability to understand people.
 One day the Duchess of Windsor meeting Gardner on one of her Washington visits, exclaimed: "Oh, 1t was so nice at Annapolis, just as beautiful and charming as in the old days. It hasn't changed bit .
 To which Max replied: Lady, there is nothing remarkable about the unchanged beauty of Annapo- lis. I just heard friend of yours remark that he hadn't seen you for ten years and that you were just as lovely and beautiful and unchanged as before you met the King of England.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS

The years end will show record food consumption in the United States. Many who are eating bet ter than ever before il their lives will find it difficult to reconcile their good fortune with the fact that uncounted thousands are get- ting barely enough food to keep them alive.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The national defense plan of the future will place heavier respon- abilities on the several states. Sys- , tematic recruiting for greatly ex- banded National Guard will begin within matter of months.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The epidemic of strikes which has plagued this country and ser iously delayed reconyersion will soon spread to other large countries. Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars. A year of periodic gains and losses, but the years end will show that very satisfactory progress has been made. Children born on this day will have high ideals and the courage 1 to stand by their principles. Many will Ee honor students in the school years and as men and women will be known for their thoroughness, efficiency, sound judgment and l generosity.
