LETTER TOTHE EDITOR
Pan American Clipper, September, 1945)

Dear Editor:
 MT. Huntley and I take this means of expressing our apprecia- ton for the privilege of taking the familiariZation trip to Alaska. 1t was our first plane trip and our finest vacation. The scenery is be- autiful beyond words. At one time we had a full circle rainbow on our wing tip. Much of the trip was above the clouds, but during the round trip we saw most of the country.
 Our first stop was Juneau, where we found excellent accom- modations at the Baranoff Hotel. We were surprised at the quantity of unrationed goods in the stores. We had a grand steak dinner. We visited the stores, much like those in Seattle suburbs, the museum, hospital and Douglas Island. Our plan was to stop here for two days on our return trip, hoping for bet ter weather so that we might photograph the glacier.
 Next we went to Nome, where we found sunshine. The people in Nome were very cordial and gave us every opportunity to look over the country. We visited the King Islanders, who were in parkas and mukluks, and met the Big Chief.
 The Bon Marche is fine mod ern store which carries a large stock of goods, attractively ar ranged. Polet's store is a pioneer, having been in Nome about forty years through fires and floods. It has an immense cold storage plant for foods, well-stocked, large fur storage besides general merchan- disc. They also carry native-made goods. In this vicinity we saw large Army installations and gold dredges. We regretfully left Nome by the light of the midnight sun and went to Fairbanks where we had reservations at the Nordale Hotel.
 Here we visited Dr. Bonnell at the University of Alaska, the Az ricultural Experimental Station, gold-dredging at Ester, and re- turned to Fairbanks by the farm road along which we saw several fine dairies and acres of growing vegetables. Fairbanks is friendly town. After four days in Fair banks, we came directly to Seattle.

A little less than a year ago,
the hard working administration
of the Yesler Housing Project,
Mrs. Leila Hall, reviewing the sue
cess of her project with its vari-
colored races, had an inspiration.
The Yesler Housing Project as
clean, neat and as democratic
as any in the Northwest; Why
could not the adjoining neighbour
hood be equally as neat, clean and
democratic?
Surveying the field she found it
fertile. She surrounded herself by
four Key men who had been look
ing about for a leader, each in
accord. With the blessings of the
Mayor, Chief of Police, Health
and Fire Departments, the success
of the Jackson Street Council was
heralded throughout the city as a
miracle.
Who were these miracle work
ers? By what legerdermain were
they able to accomplish so much
in so short a time? To the
public their work was completed.
To Mrs. Leila Hall their work
was just begun.
She called her co-workers back {:

plish so much in one big effort
why not make it permanent? Why

In making the announcement
Mr.. White quoted an appeal from
a white Georgian who wrote the

"lf we can't break this case

ture lynchings would cause the
indignation which this one has

innocence of three people of
any wrong doing whatsoever.

happen if this crime goes I'M

Another prominent Georgian, a

OF paramount importance to US

how our armed forces in Germany

goal. Too many Americans believe
that We and VI Day victories

Such beliefs do not hold up to the
truth when examined under the
clear light of logic. Common sense

manner We are able to maintain

of large military forces in enemy

peace that We are able to devise
for this war torn world at The

DANE-GELD
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Kipling once wrote a poem about
the Danish pirates who, nearly
a thousand years ago, preyed on
the coast of England and collected
Dane-geld to stay away; and he
showed how fallacious was the
idea that paying Danegeld ever
got rid of the Dane"
The nations of the world learned
again at Munich that peace in

time was measured.

CITY COUNCIL REJECTS Mr.. FOSTER
BY E. /. r.

By vote of : to >, the City
Council turned thumbs down on
Mr.. Richard r. Foster, Mayor
DeHin's nominee for Chief of the
Police Department.
We believe the Council acted
wisely in arriving at their deci-
sion.
Not withstanding the City coun-
Gil faced one of the best orqaniz-
ed public mass attacks in the
history of Seattle, they refused
to sanction the importation Of
non resident to serve as Chief
of Police. They refused to close
the door Of hope to any officer
who aspires to become the head
Of his department. They refused
to share responsibility not of
their own initiation.
The State of Washington favors
its own citizens in business. and
the City of Seattle owes to its
own residents and tax payers a
more favorable consideration than
that given a non resident.
Philadelphia, Pa, tried import
ing a non resident, Gen. Butler,

was a miserable failure. It would
take a non resident two or three
years to become acquainted with

fusing to be stampede has won
far more favor than three months
of active campaigning.
