 If the strike goes or, 1t would paralyse the shipping industry on all coasts. A walkoht Is barred right now by an so-day injunction under the Taft Hartley Act. But the mo- strike period ends early next month.
 Government mediators are calling representatives of East and Gulf Coast shipping companies into new negotiation sessions with officials of the CIO National Maritime Union.

 Meantime most of the countrys butchers are saying that the petti- coat rebellion against high meat prices is bust.
 They say whatever business they have lost since the ladies began their "don't buy meat campaign has been the result of hot weather not the boycott.

ASSISTANT REGIONAL FORESTER. SEWARD VISITOR

Charles c. Burden, Assistant Regional Forester of the U S. Forest Service with headquarters in Juneau, spent several days on the Kenai Peninsula last week. He advised the Seward Polaris that Division Supervisor Virgil Heath is being transferred to the Alaska Fire Control Service at Anchorage. MT. Heath will be as- sistant to Bob Robinson, Chief of the Fire Control Service.
 Mir. Heath entered the Forest Service in 1928 in the Portland Region He was transferred to the Alaskan Region in 1888 and has been assigned to many places in addition to four years in the Navy since his arrival in Alaska. His work at Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau, Fairbanks and here on the Peninsula has been uniform ly of a high character. MT. Bur- dick stated that the Forest Serv- ice regretted very much that Vir- gil was transferring but that substantial promotion was in- volved ana that MT. Heath could accomplish a great deal for the forests of interior Alaska on his new assignment.
 Max Roger, Heath's assistant at Seward, will be promoted to the position left vacant by Heath's transfer. No selection has been made to fill Rogers old position but steps have been taken to se- cure a good Junior Forester but it may be in June before anyone is put on the job

 Reference is made to your let ter of February 23rd, wherein you addressed me as candidate for the Legislature in regard to cer- tain questions which you believe pertinent to the welfare of the Territory I will answer the pro- pounded questions as succinctly as possible and yet express my true views of the propositions in volVed, as follows:
 l am in favor of General Property Tax Law.
 l would support net income tax law for the Territory of Alas ka providing there is compen- sating elimination of other exist ing taxes.
 I would support General Prop erty Tax Law (Taxation on prop erty outside of corporate limits of any Town or City, provided, however, that the tax be levied on the current monetary produc- tivity of the taxable area.
 believe that everything pos sible should be done for the health of the residents of Alaska, both Natives and White, provid- ing adequate funds can be pro- vided within the budgetory lmi- it's.
 Fundamentally I believe in the abolition of Fish Traps because they are a menace to individual enterprise on which the future of Alaska depends.
 Realizing that the Veteran has. by his enforced duty to the coun- try, lapsed period of several years of his productivity. he should, therefore be reimbursed 1 to every extent possible. but it is my opinion that ths measures of aid given to the Veterans should be determined wholly upon their worthiness.

customary to make some blessing
over The food before we eat it, on
Sabbath we bless not only the
food but the Sabbath too, and thus
we wait for the consumption of
the food until the Sabbath has
been sanctified properly.
QUESTION: Why do women
cover their heads and faces and
shut their eyes before reciting
the blessing over the candles?
ANSWER: In Jewish life it is
usually customary to pronounce a
blessing before we commit an act.
In the case of lighting the
candles, the blessing signifies the
fact that the woman has already
accepted the Sabbath upon her
self with all it's duties and re-
strictiors. If she were to 'recite
blessings before she lit the candles
she would not be able to ignite
the tapers since that would be
an act desecrating the Sabbath
which she has already accepted.
She thus lights them first without
making the benediction. Then, in
order to pronounce the benediction
before an act, she closes her eyes,
covers her face and makes the
blessing, after which she opens
her eyes to observe the beauty of
the candles, which is considered
as an act in itself.

HEDY LAMAR lN
 DRAMA!Ir ROLE
 AT 20TH CENTURY

"Dishonored Lady" Hunt Strom- berg's latest picture and Hedy La- mars second try at true dra- matic role, came off with flying colors at the 20th Century Theatre last night.
 This story of brittle, sophisti- cated magazine editor whose after office hours are filled with empty romanees is a brilliant commentary on the postwar world and strong plea for a return to sanity. Miss Lamar turns in a scintillating per- tormance as Madeleine Damien, the editor whose series of romances dis satisfies her to the point of seeking psychiatric assistance and, as a re- suit, building herself a new life which strikes serious snag when a scandal reaches out from the past to nearly engulf her.
 As the two principal men who affect her decision, John Loder and Dennis O'Keefe typify Madeleine's past and future. Loder is the veal thy egocentric who is used to ac- quiring what he wants, be it more wealth or a woman. And OKeefe portrays an earnest young scientist who enters Madeleine's life after she has cut adrift from her old world.

ALASKA NATIVES FALL SHORT ON
 ANNUAL INCOME

The average U. s. man, woman and child gets two and half times as much income each year as Alaska's natives who live on the Boring and Arctic seacoasts and along the Yukon River. This was revealed today by Bob Druxman, Juneau public relations counsel, who was recently retained by the Alaska Native Service to make an economic survey of the northern regions.
 According to Don c. Foster, Gen. eral Superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, who released this portion of Druxman's report today, the last available figures for na- tional per capita income show that s1,150 was earned during 1e45 for every man, woman and child in the U. s. Druxman's report states that only $435 was earned during the past 12 months for every Native man, woman and child, in the ID villages where he conducted detailed family surveys. These villages were believed to be representative of their areas.
 Foster declared that the S435 fig

IDAHO QUINTET
 DD!s11pS GAME 10
 MIKES, 45 10 3A

"A fast-moving quintet from Priest River, Idaho, went down 45 to 34 to faster moving Mikes squad last night in a game scheduled by quick agreement between coaches here yesterday.
 The match was played in the Douglas High School gym with a fair-size audience of fans turning out to see the stateside squad tus- sel with a hometown team.
 Priest River alumni men, on tour of Southeast Alaska, agreed to take on Mikes when their flight to scheduled games at Sitka was held up due to weather
 The visitors showed plenty of fast floor work, but missed the hoop too often on set-up plays to tally up for the final count.
 Johnny Bavard, racing the Night Owl squad, dropped in field goals to take top scoring with 18 points.
 Sensational shot of the game was looped into the hoop from the center line by Brownen of the Idaho quintet.
 Mikes was hard put to maintain lead throughout the first half with the first quarter ending with the local team on the long end of a 12-11 count. The half ended 2l to 19, with Mikes still in the lead. Mikes poured on the steam in the last half, pulling away by the end of the third quarter 32 to 27, then tallying l3 counts in the final pe- riod and holding the visitors to T.
 In preliminary game between Moose and Douglas Hi, the Moose squad came out ahead on 36 to 20 count. After a slow start, the game turned into a rough tussel with four men going out of play on fouls. Stevens. on the Douglas squad, was high point man for the game, racking up l2 points before going out on fouls in the final quarter. Jim Vuille, Coastguards- man aboard the Storis, and former commercial team member h ere, played his first game of the sea- son with the Moose team, turning in a good nights play with 10 points to his credit

ure looks even smaller when com- pared with the amount of $1,446 which is given as the Western U. S. per capita income for 1945. It is almost infinitesimal when compared with a survey of the annual earn ings of wage earners only for Ju- neau and Fairbanks which was made in 1944. Juneau wage earners were said to receive $3,386 per fam fly and Fairbanks salaried workers were reported to receive $5,933 per family at that time. This is com- pared with an average native family income for the past 12 months of $2,7S4.
 Druxmans figures were based on the entire income of the villagers which, in many cases, did not in- clude much cash receipts. The fig ures were based on estimated val ues of food, clothing and fuel talk en from the land and other native work, in addition to actual cash.
 A complete statistical and gen. eral analysis of Druxman's report is now being made, said Foster, and the many phases of it will be re- leased as fast as the results are compiled. Druxman, who has been given the title of social economic analyst during his temporary ANS assignment, was scheduled to go to Sitka today where he will inspect the ANS Mount Edgecumbe pro- ject and make special report on it's possibilities.
