JUNEAU SKI CLUB
 ELECTS OFFICERS

Jim Church was unanimously elected President of the Juneau Ski Club at the first fall meeting of the group last night in the Odd Fellows Hall. He replaces Ralph Randall who has held the position during the past year.
 New Vice. President is Matt Gormley, and Ann Roberts Parsons was appointed by Randall as sec retary for the coming year.
 It was announced that wood chopping party will go up Sunday to haul wood, cut brush, and do some trail work at the second meadow. A Forest Service man will accompany the group, which will meet at the Forest Service warehouse at 10 o'clock in the morning. Free refreshments will be serve at the shelter cabin.
 Joe Werner, as an older mem Der, gave a brief history of the club, which was organized in 1885 from the old Juneau Mountaineer- ing Club.
 He said the Douglas Ski Bowl was selected as the most favorable site, and that good trail system has been expanded through the years.
 We tried to keep the organiza ton alive during the war" he said and I think this year the turn out should be even better than in the last two years"
 Ensign Dutch" Batdorff made a suggestion that all crewmen Of ,he Wachusett be admittetd to the club for a stated fee, inasmuch as none of them could be certain of staying in Juneau to enjoy the privileges of the club for the en- tire season.
 The suggestion will be consider ed at the next meeting, after En- sign Batdorff has had an oppor- tunity to consult with officers and men on the Cutter.
 Duane Hogue of the Junior Ski Club, which is wholly sponsored by the Senior Club now, instead of the high school, reported on their meeting last night.
 Another meeting of the Juniors will be held at 7:3O o'clock Thurs day evening at the Teen Age Club, and a Senior representative Will be present. Throughout the year Senior members will help In in- structing the younger group.

The other day we were bemoan-
ing, to our auditor the lack of net
profit in the weekly newspaper
business. Naturally our thoughts
conferred on our own particular
venture-its ups and downs-its
present apparent solvency. Pub
lisher-like we were not too happy
with more dollar volume, more ex-
pense, more taxes and less net
profit.
Our auditor, a young war vet
eran, with a Purple Heart, listened
for a while as his eyes travelled
over the bookkeeper's figures. Quite
suddenly he said, "Well, Mr.. New
man, even if you do work long, hard
hours, you've got your health, you
eat we'll, are well clothed, live in
warmth and comfort" And he
added, "The people who work for
you are apparently happy in their
situations"
He said no more-but what he
said was enough to make US begin
to count our blessings. Looking
over the result of such a counting
we recognize that to date, we've
had more than our share of good
fortune.

While we are worrying about
business profits, thousands, yes,
millions, don't know when they'll
get their next full meal.
While we are wrapping gifts
Cthe wife does the work. for our
loved ones, thousands of other
human beings-displaced persons
don't even know the whereabouts
of kith or kin.
While we are complaining about
typesetting, printing and labor
costs there are places in the world
Russia is one) where we couldn't
print what we please. Even in
America, there are places where
brownskinned publishers don't
print what is on their minds-even
if printing what they think and
believe, would be in the public in
terest.
Maybe, as the auditor said were
not so bad off, after all, in the
Twin Cities of Minnesota.
At least our auditor gave US
something to think about and
ponder over. What he said may
fit many who read these lines.
Christmas time is a good time for
some reflection.

Replete With Errors

Editor: Attacks Brooks Post re-
grets the necessity of taking ex-
ception to statements made by Ben
Peery Sr. in last weeks Recorder
& Spokesman newspapers.
In his article Peery purports to
summarize the activities of "Vol-
unteer Veterans Committee" form
ed to fight racial discrimination and
Jim Crow in the National Guard.
His account is so replete with err
rors and misstatements as to cause
those acquainted with the facts to
question his motives, principles,
and journalistic honesty.
Peery stated, a.. one post (pre-
sumably Attucks-Brooks) withdrew
and ceased to cooperate with the
committee" THE FACTS ARE
that Attucks- Brooks is on record
to work and has worked with the
Volunteer Veterans Committee"
on the National Guard issue.
Peery's own article written under
staff Correspondent" byline) in
the August LIST Recorder and
Spokesman, and the official min
utes of Attucks- Brooks Post con-
firm this fact. However, in spite
of the announced willingness of
Attacks Brooks to cooperate on
this issue, Alvin Harmon, Jr., com
mander and official delegate of the
Post, has not been invited to a
single meeting of the Volunteer
Veterans Committee" held since
July IS, 1947.
Peery stated, 6. members OF
Attacks Brooks went before
Governor Youngdahl, and accused
State officials of insincerity." THE
FACTS ARE that the sincerity Of
Governor Youngdahl and other
State officials - except Adjutant
General Walsh-has never been
questioned.
Walsh's sincerity was Ques-
toned because Of his position on
the 1904 Home Guard fight
and because of statements he
made on November 5, ls47. to
representatives Of Negro Veter-
ans groups which could not then
be challenged because Of the I'M
availability Of information. The
validity Of those statements Is
fundamental to any settlement Of
the Guard issue.
Having thoroughly Investigated
Walsh's statements, the Attucks-
Brooks committee asked the Gov
ernor to explain: l. Why Negroes
have been accepted in the llsth
Division Of a local Naval Reserve
unit without the long, drawn-out
educational program" which

SHOW ME

In other words, the VA is going
to start asking you to SHOW Me"
As it stands now, and until De-
cember 81, you can walk in a doc
tors or dentists office, or VA clinic
and get almost any type of medical
treatment you need and have the
VA pay the bill simply by saying
that your ailment started back
there when you were in uniform.
Your word, plus your discharge
in such a case, is "prima facie
evidence" and the VA will ask no
further question.
After December 81, however, the
VA is going to tell you that your
discharge and those other little
worn out papers which you carry
in your wallet is not enough to con-
vince it that that same tooth is
hurting you two years after the
war.
The VA is going to ask you what
have you been doing about it all
this time-or how you have man
aged to live with that aching back
for so long without going to a doc
tor.
And il you have been to doc
tor. what doctor. and what did he
do for you, and where are his
records.
If you can't answer all those
questions satisfactorily, the VA is
going to tell you that your ailment
is not connected with your former
military service and that you will
have to pay for medical service just
like your country cousin who never
got around to putting on uni
form.
You don't need go bowling bloody
murder either, Joe, because there
is nothing in the CT Bill which says
the Government is going to keep
you healthy the rest of your life at
taxpayers expense.
If your ailment is service con-
nected you'll be we'll taken care Of.
If not, it's going to cost you some
cash.
But, in either case, your word is
no longer "prima facie."

Peery further stated, q. . short
ly after the Sunday December
14th) meeting D.. a conference {.
held with Attucks-Brooks represen-
tatives was followed with an an
nouncement that differences had
been ironed out :" THE FACT
is that Commander Harmon, At
tucks-Brooks official representa-
tive, knows of no such conference
having been held.
1t is perhaps essential to an I'M
Outstanding of Peery's misstate-
ments (made under the pretense of
unbiased reporting and sometimes
from behind the shielding byline
of staff Correspondents") to know
that Peery is a disgruntled, former
member of Attacks Brooks Post.
However, the Post hopes it will not
be required to engage in fruitless
personal determinations.

who cheat colored people have the
benefit of statute, ungodly tradi-
lions and the backing Of a lot Of
people who have the religion about
Jesus instead Of the religion of
Jesus.
Here is evidence, it seems to
me of a struggle to be born again
in this writer of an increasing
sense Of social justice. May his
tribe increase.
In the South | have discovered
some very, very white people for
whom l have the highest regard.
Among them, as with Columnist
Graves, there are those with whom
| differ on some questions, but you
will agree with me when l hold
forth that we are making progress,
because, in matters on which we
disagree, we have achieved the abil-
ity not to think Of advocating or
resOrting to violence, or striking
below-the-belt practices to settle
our differences.
And on many things, we have
achieved a oneness of mind. Behind
the mighty walls of envy, hate,
prejudice, ignorance and supersti-
ton, behind which so many whites
and blacks struggle for freedom in
the South, are some of the earth's
truly great and finer peoples.
Hate and greed has so scared
the souls of many blacks and
whites in the south that it has
become impossible for them to
enjoy and appreciate the very
things for which they have
lOnged, once it is acquired.
Capable writers like Mr.. Graves
can take a handful of words and
set the world on fire, or they can
do more to liberate men from those
who are incapable Of rendering
just judgment based upon keen, OBJ
jective analyzation of all the facts
involved, and who, therefore, be-
lieve that it is right to cheat Ne
groes not only in matters of rent,
but in every avenue of life bearing
on their welfare as children of God.
All Negroes are indebted to Col
umnist John Temple Graves for
crying out against this business of
some white people cheating Ne
grOes.
Perhaps no single person in the
South today can be a greater in
fuence for good, or cause the South
to go forward by going forward
than Columnist John Temple
Graves. And vice versa. He causes
lot of people to think as they
think without their knowing it.
From what l hear, his father
wanted that he should make that
sort of contribution. l am happy
to note his efforts in that direction.

BIRMI CHA NJ, Ala. - Ny
friend, Columnist John Temple
Graves, whom / regard as the
spokesman for a certain school of
Southern thought, and whose syn
dicated column appears in a lot of
newspapers in the South, is a mas
ter Of words-words that some
times bless and burn.
He had this to say in his col
umn, This Afternoon" in the
Birmingham Post recently:
Are colored people being put
out Of their homes cruelty and un-
justly in this community? So many
Of them think so, that it is i'm
portant either to correct the i'm
preston or right the wrong. 1t
makes for worst degrees of racial
bitterness to have them telling each
other of this and that family hav-
ing been suddenly put out into the
street in the rain" by a collection
agent whose very name they have
come to fear and hate. Especially
when they tell you what l know to
be fact, that the agent makes
them pay him a fee of S. for col
Letting rent of as little as SO.
at is all too true that many
colored people are careless or If
responsible about their rent and
that agents have to protect them
selves with a strict policy for pay
ment. But it is also true that with
the terrible shortage Of houses
there is much temptation to put
people out in order to get other
people in. And it is also true, un-
happily, that some of our white
people make a business Of cheat
ing colored people, the meanest and
most anti-Southern sin you can
think of.
THE Birmingham Bar Assn. and
the Birmingham Real Estate Board
could do no finer thing now than
establish a joint committee to re-
ceive and act beforehand on COM
plants by colored people in the
matter of being put out of their
houses. A first thing on such a
committees program should be to
decide and proclaim out loud
whether it is fair for collection
agent to take IS from a colored
person for collecting SO.
Meanwhile, all colored people
who want to go on complaining to
me are welcome. Be sure and give
the name of the real estate firm
and what receipts you have. And
remember that you may be right,
but, then again, you may be
wrong"
l don't want Mr.. Graves to be
disappointed by the few who will
find courage enough to lodge COM
plants with him, because the folk
