RAIN POOL WILL BE
 SPONSORED HERE BY
 LIONS ORGANIZATION

At a recent meeting O. the Juneau Lions Club Executive 5oard it was tentatively decided to sponsor a Rain Pool to raise funds for tine various community betterment proj- ects. This method was decided upon after much discussion on ways and means of obtaining the contribution allotted the Lions to pay into the Memorial Library Fund, the Lions Club treasury containing only suf- ficient funds for the necessary ad- ministrative expenses.
 The Rain Pool will post chart with the listings, by month, of the rainfall for the last ten years as a guide for the contestants. A ticket sale will be held each month with anyone who cares to participate buying tickets and placing their guess as to the number of inches of rainfall they expect during the month. The actual amount of rain fall will be guaged and those making the most nearly correct answers will receive cash awards with the.~re- mainder of the proceeds going to some worthy community project

 MISSING FLYER

 The brother, John Barber, an- nounced his intention despite word from Edmonton that Canadian au- thorities were abandoning the search, one of the longest in the history of the Northwest. The Northwest Air Command of the RCAF at Edmonton said a party of searching soldiers would come out of the bushland today and re- turn to Edmonton by air.
 Joe is an experienced war pilot and has a good, steady head and good judgment" the missing pilot S brother said He added that he planned to go to Ft. Nelson, B. o. 1C0 miles south of where Barber's light plane was found practically undamaged in a creek bed.
 Barber was flying the lane to Anchorage, Alaska when he ap- parently made forced landing The plane later was found by aer- ial searchers, but an RCAF res cue squad dropped by parachute found no trace of the pilot.
 Later an experienced northern tracker was landed on an emergen- cy strip hewn out of the wilderness near the grounded plane by the para rescue squad.
 When he failed to find Barber's trail a contingent of Canadian in- fantry was flown north and trekked to the scene from the Alaska High way. Recently the Army reported finding tracks that might have been made by Barber, but located no trace of the pilot.

Air Mail volume at the Waterbury Post Oh1ce has reached a new high during National Air Mail Week, Postmaster Charles A. Babin an- nounced today. Carriers, clerks and other employees at the Post Office have joined in an active educational campaign to announce the lowered Air Mail rates.
 Postal employees are in more fre- quent contact with the people than any other government employees" !" said the Postmaster. They have promised, first, to suggest wider use of Air Mail during this week, and second, to bring the news of the re- duced rate to more of our patrons" |" he added. The rate is five cents to United States territory wherever located, to United States service men, and to Canada and Mexico.
 "Our Post Office Air Mail figures are being reported to Washington for study with other offices in our class" Postmaster Babin disclosed. We are anxious to make a good showing, not only as a matter of local pride, but to do our part in promoting a rate which should be beneficial to the country's com merce."
 Babin explained that the five cent Air Mail rate was approved by Con- gress upon the Post Office Depart ment's request. The Department contended that commerce would be fostered by making available rapid Air Mail service at reduced cost, and a wider use of Air Mail would re- duce the unit cost of delivery.

city employees have been recom- mended. In spite of the fact, there for, that there has been no decision or opportunity for decision upon the matter in which these men are interested, they have chosen to sep arate themselves from their employ ment Regardless of the merits of . strike by municipal employees, these men have walked out without even having an issue.
 "In my opinion, these men have no cause for complaint. Since 1941 the average hourly rates of laborers have increased 46 percent. Truck drivers have increased 53 percent and such increases are comparable to those given in industry. Since V-J Day, hourly rates have gone up l31a cents an hour and I have al- ready referred to the consideration of further increases by the Board of Finance and Board of Aldermen.
 Tn addition to wage increases, these men have been given other concessions in the form of paid vacations, paid holidays and rainy day work in the last few years. Their situation compares favorably with that of similar departments in the State.
 ''The total financial picture for the city cannot be determined until the budget is made out, and the best thing these men can do is wait and find out what the picture is."

 Gov. Baldwin
 Makes Claims
 At RoIIy Here

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, COP. candidate for the U. s. Sem ate, last night charged the Demo- cratic administration as being one of proven failure and pledged he would fight for a policy that looks to the welfare of the purchaser as well as the manufacturer and labor" Governor Baldwin was the principal guest of honor at a Re- publican dinner rally held at Di Napoli's Restaurant last night and featuring the entire State COP. ticket. Richard D. Rensen, town chairman was in charge.
 "The reactionary Democrats who have tried to manage our lives in every detail in accordance with some alien philosophy want you to believe the only alternative to their managed economy is unbridled competition" the Governor as serted. Yet it is only fair to point out that the two most enduring limitations on unfair business prac- tices were enacted by Republican Congresses-the Sherman Anti Trust Act and the Clayton Act
 If elected to the Senate, he con- tinued, it would be my firm pur- pose to support measures to pro- mote friendly relations between labor and management by giving a full and fair opportunity for true and real collective bargaining" He also promised to battle for a gov ernment policy which prevents abuses, acts against monopolies and sets up rules for fair play for the nations business"
 Governor Baldwin asserted such policy docs not try to run the nations business" or in the settle ment of labor management disputes "by government decree and direc- tive"
 Observing that the next Con- gress will have to deal with policies and programs to prevent future booms and depressions, the Cover nor said i've must level off, insofar as possible the high spots and the low spots of our production and em- ployment." This is essential for true prosperity" he added"
