Sir:
This will call your attention to
the Little, or Forgotten Man, who is
being crushed to death by Industry
and Organized Labor I shall refer
to these three groups as "A", "B"
and "C"'; "a" is Industry, "B" Or
ganized Labor and &C" is the man
between
The activities Of ga" and "B" is
thrusting hardships upon "C'' great
er than he can bear. It is the writ
er's belief, no group of people
should enjoy comfort and prospect,
ty at the cost of discomfort and
poverty to others. The continuous
rise of prices in the necessities of
life by the activities of "a" and
"B" is likely to bring about serious
complications in our democratic
form of government. People in I'M
pleasant position will try various
some of which will not conform to
the ideals upon which this great
country is founded,
Mr.. President; another great pres
ident said that ours is: "a country
Of the people, by the people, for the
people" He also said: ga house di-
vided against itself can not stand"
and that "this country can not eX-
list half free and half slave" All Of
which I believe to be true.
Mr.. President: Thru the activities
of "A" and "B", our house is be-
coming divided against itself Thru
the continual rise of prices "C'' is
placed in a form of slavery - the
Big Fellow is getting bigger and the
Small fellow is getting smaller. "C'
is at the mercy of "a" and "B'',
and this is not a consequence of
natural conditions 1t is a con-
dition thrust upon him by "a" and
"B",
Uncontrolled Store Rentals are re-
Elected in commodity prices which
add to the burden of "C', and for
this reason, store rentals also should
be controlled. If there can be no con-
troll of prices 49, Then may God have
mercy on the As millions of Unor-
ganized btizAns of these jUufted
States.
Mr.. President: In your message
to the S1st Congress, I pray that
you will present a concrete plan
plan of relief for this large segment
of our nopulation. 1t is my belief. in
these United States, no citizen is too
small to be heard on matters of
governmental Importance.
May yours be a most successful
administration, and may God bless
you and keep you and yours, this
is the wish Of

FOpREST FAMIlY
 PUTS ON DISPLAY
 FOR ARTS, CRAFTY

The exhibit in the Alaskan Arts and Crafts window displays the ar tistic handiwork of another talented Juneau family, the Linn Forrest family
 Highlighted by variety of expres- sion, the display shows the varied ability of the junior and senior members of the family
 One unit, the creative carving of the trains and guns by Steve at the age of g, is supplemented by an original cigarette holder created by Dick at the age of 12. The balsa wood solid model airplanes were carved by Bud from specifications and according to scale. Weaving as an art dates to the very early times. Genes display of table mats indicates weaving possi- bilities.
 The handcarved unit by Linn Forrest is a splendid example of originality in creating Alaskan de- signs. The table with an incised handcarved border of skunk-cab- bage is interesting; the repeating rhythmic design of the leaf and flower entwines giving beauty to the common flower.
 An all Alaskan motif is depicted in the carved base relief placque wherein Linn Forrest developed an interesting totemic design made up of the eagle, the bear and the whale symbols
 The pencil renderings of the Timberline Lodge, Mt. Hood, Ore- gon, commands interest as well as the other pencil watercolor archi- tectural designs. However, unusual interest is centered around the wat ercolor of Chief Shakes Community House at WrangelI.
 Special mention should be made of the watercolor by Linn Forrest of the church in Sicily, which uni fies the combination of Spanish Norman and Turkish architecture the invading nations of Sicily. This painting was. done in 1882 when he was travelling in Sicily on the Tor Lewis Travelling Fellowship from the University of Oregon.
 i Another interesting exhibit vii be in the Vic Powers window June 24, when the junior painting group of Mary Westfall will show theii paintings.

 At a special air show demonstra- tion sponsored by the Anchorage Junior Chamber of Commerce honor will be paid to those pioneer pilots who have made possible the ad- vancement of aviation in the Terri tory; to the Army, Navy and Civil Aeronautics Administration for the many improvements which have come to aviation in the north as the result of their efforts! to pres ent-day pilots. operators and com panies, and to Alaskans as the most minded people in the world.
 Tt is fitting that such celebra- tion of tribute be held for this rap idly growing means of transporta- tion which has made every outpost of the Territory accessible in few hours where few short years ago it required weeks and even months to traverse the distance.
 Therefore, I, Lew M. Williams, Acting Governor of Alaska, mindful of the strides made in the aviation industry in Alaska, do hereby desig- nate June 20, 1948 as Alaska Air Day, in tribute to those who have promoted the interests of aviation in the Territory of Alaska.
