FIREWORKS
 DISPLAY IS
 ELABORATE

Fer the first time since long be- fore Pearl Harbor. the people of Jul neau witnessed huge display of fireworks, the common decoration for the Fourth of July on the night of the Fourth. The committee, headed by Mayor Waino Hendrick- son is to be heartily congratulated for a really wonderful job. The two scows were anchored 300 yards off shore off the Alaska Steamship Dock, being lowed there through the courtesy of the Corps of En- gineers. The first scow was loaded with huge set pieces and the second with bombs, rockets and mortar shells.
 Mayor Hendrickson started the beautiful display with the opening bomb. in honor of no less than his recently arrived grandson. Craig Forrest son of MT. and Mrs. Linn Forrest, Jr. The dazzling sight last ed for approximately 50 minutes, and many spectators had stars in their eyes as they walked away from the end of Juneau's Big Fourth.
 The scow with the elaborate set pieces was anchored too close to the wharf to be seen with the exception of those, on the wharf or in windows of the nearby buildings. The scow with the bombs, etc., was anchored well out in the bay.
 Credit must be given to the fol- lowing Juneau men who worked hard and long hours getting the set pieces framed and for other functions involved in the fireworks display: Glenn Leach, Bill Matheny Cleo Commers, Curly" Davis, Bud Nance, Jim Houston, Walt Knape and Fred Sorri

The Junc.sl City Band. under the direction of Joseph Ehofner, enliv- ened the start of the Fourth cele- bration with a concert on the night cf Thursday, July 3, in Triangle Place, that delighted the hundreds able to crowd into that section of the city A furry of raindrops cut short the hours concert although ten selections were given.
 On the morning of the Fourth, the band again appeared and lead the parade, delayed from the ad- vertised start at 10:30 to 1o:4o be- cause of the fact that one of the Heats that was to take prominent spot in the parade was not ready.
 The band, while not as large as on previous occasions because sev- eral members are out of town, made it's usual spirited appearance, all members in uniform and was head ed by Carol Jean Macdonald, Chief Majorette, with Mae Dapcevich, Shirley Elstad, Joyce Hope and Lola Hegstead as Drum Majorettes, all in colorful uniforms and high step pers and twirlers
 I Members of the band appearing in the concert or parade were as follows
 Clea CcmIers, Glen Leach, Rob- erta Mess crschmidt, Katherine Stew ems and Carol Routsala B flat clarinets
 Clan Mallice-also clarnet; Ruth Brooks-bass carinet. ] Dick Wingerson and John James alto sayaphones; Earl CraSS-ten- or saxaphone.

On Public Opinion and Law
Enforcement In Mississippi

One of the most important sour
ces from which to judge the trends
and tides of public opinion is
the letters to the editor, depart
ment which has been developed
and which has become of vast I'M
portance to the leading newspa-
pers and magazines throughout
the country. Letters to the edi-
tor are often the forerunners Of
what eventually becomes the pre-
vailing public opinion.
One of the most significant let
tiers to the editor which we have
observed of late, was published
recently in the Clarion Ledger I'M
der the caption, "Voice of the
People,. The letter signed by
Robert L. McClenden of Vossburg,
Mississippi, is as follows: Editor:
The Jacksan Clarion Ledger: VIII
you please publish this letter?
Law enforcement has failed
down here. We have plenty of
laws and plenty of public officers
and plenty of witnesses to crime
and open debauchery but little or
no law enforcement. 1t would be
far better for the course to close
than to advertise its do-nothlng
before the people. 1t has dwin-
died down to divisions, or to two
forces, and that is, the force of
crime carried on without restraint
and the force of right doing car
ried on by the few and far scat
tered citizens.
Instead of things getting better
they are weekly and monthly
growing worse. AS it exists today
the force for crime is growing
stronger and stronger by leaps
and bounds. The few righteous
living people are too few and too
far apart to ever change up this
part of Mississippi for a better
social existence.
1 beg to offer, and join in the
move to appeal to the conscience
of the crime breeders and crime
perpetrators to change up their

who wonts to work. 1t ought to
have the backing of the govern
ment where it attempts to volun-
tarily put into effect a fair en-
ployment practice program. No
firm should be forced to hire any
particular person on the basis of
race, creed or color, but, at the
same time, we ought to have law
providing that no one be given
license to operate business
that discriminates against work
ers because of race, creed or color.
If a depression should come
our way again, government should
institute program of training
able-bodied, Industrious men and
women of character and guide
them in getting a toe-hold in the
production of something the world
needs and is willing to pay for
so that they will be enabled to
buy, build, and maintain their own
homes. When we speak of Amer
lea, we speak of twenty odd mil
lions homes, which, be they ever
so humble, are the castles of the
men and women who build and
own them.
1 have talked about labor and
industry and the business ahead
of building a richer and fuller life,
and the keeping of that life by
giving others the opportunity to
work and share it.
Now l come to what I regard as
the important ingredient neces-
sary to leaven this whole loaf;
We must again capture the ro-
nance of building men to match
our world of mountains, men to
match our world of plains, men
with empires in their brains and
new eras in their purpose, instead
of a life of greedy, Dragging and
gulping men.
With this must go a condemna-
ton of all forms of superstition
and prejudice. Religion, whose
fundamental purpose is to pro-
mote peace and goodwill must go
hand in hand with science, and

as you can for as little as you can,
instead of human beings who can
be rooted, guided and given a pay
/ ing stake in an enterprising free
enterprise. The latter will give
big business and industry soul,
and with such it will be able to
compete, on the basis Of perform
ance, with communism, because it
can thusly lead the way in pro-
viding men and women of industry
and character opportunity to build
for themselves freer, richer, and
fuller life.
It may be well that big bust
nesses think in terms Of making
it possible for employees to share
in profits and losses by making
it possible for them to invest in
the concerns in which they are
employed. Employees should be
given some of the responsibility
of their employing concerns sue
cesses. If free enterprise is to
be saved, it must absorb employ
ees and John @. Public so as to
make them a part of the warp
and loot of it's fabric in order
that these two forces will fight
for its survival as a saint fights
for his faith.
Labor will in 1947 do well to
recognize that it's greatest dan
ger lies in the possibility of its
failure to recognize and assume
social responsibilities in far
greater degree than industry as a
whole has ever dreamed of assum-
ing. Labor must not aid, abet and
allow itself to be absorbed into
!. movements designed to make pos
sible race or religious discrimina-
ton or segregation of workers.
Living and working for the great
est good for the greatest number
of people is law neither labor
or capital can violate without at
the same time backing out enter
prising free enterprise and there
by providing fertile soil in which
the seeds of fascism and commun-
ism or some other half-breed doc
trines or clash-producing ideol-
ogy may be sown.

opportunity to provide the jobs
needed by every able bodied man
and woman in these United States

hire more than two or three spec
ialists in the physical education
department. Most Of these have
major training in one or the 9th
err popular team sports. Since
finances are low it would be a
good thing to give major as
signment in academic teaching
and a minor coaching job to some
of these splendid track or field
stars the bigger colleges turn out
each year. Also our high school
and college coaches could profit by
taking major courses in track and
field athletics in the many good
summer schools.
Of course, this weakness in col
Iege sports is but a reflection OF
weakness in some of the other
departments of colored college
education. But let us pick up in

basis of a peaceful, orderly and

be an increasing incubation of the

1947 can prove to be a most
eventful year in the preservation

if big business will make the most

to make itself understood and ap-

If you are an employee in al

no amount of bellyaching or stick

destroy the fact that it costs

to invest at least that sum of

put up to make our jobs possible,

search, and tax cost.
