A PROCLAMATION

For l7Z years, the United States Marine Corps has stood as a fort .ress of American freedom and a symbol of American courage throughout the world.
 On land, at sea and in the air, the Marines have fought Valiantly that their nation might live. :. ..
 The new Civilian Marine Corps Reserve, dedicated to the building of better citizens and the protec- tion of this nations costly invest ment in world peace, ts definite instrument for the good of all. IL offers training and educational op- portunities to our young people, in addition to the voluntary role they assume in the peacetime Marine Corps.
 The week January 12 to Is, 194S marks the culmination of a na- 'tional program for enrolment in the citizen Marine Corps, the Un- ited States Marine Corps Reserve, which we know to be an important component of our country's 8 strength ln meeting any emergency that may arise.
 Therefore, realizing this, do proclaim the week January 12 to IS, 1948, as Marine Corps Reserve Week, and do urge my fellow citi- zens to lend the full interest and support necessary to insure the full success of the Marine Corps Reserve Program.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed hereto the Seal of the Territory of Alaska, at Juneau, the Capital, this End of January, 1948.

NATION PREPARES FOR
 POSSIBLE MEAT RATI0NNG

WASHINGTON - A contention that meat rationing would not work without price controls and that a combination of the two would "stifle" meat production, came up this week from Senator Wherry (R-Neb.).
 The Nebraskan expressed this opinion in commenting on plans Of Senator Flanders (R-Vt ) to intro duce legislation shortly authoria- ing the Agriculture Department to prepare for meat rationing to d point just short of putting it into effect.
 Under the plan Flanders out lined over the weekend. Congress would have to enact still another law to get actual rationing under way.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL RERISCOPE

Delegate E. L. Bartlett filed this week for reelection as Delegate to Congress on the Democratic ticket.
 It is not anticipated that he will have any opposition in the primary. Bartlett has served two terms in guarding Alaska's interest in Con gress.
 Also filing this week, and also on the Democratic ticket, was Frank Metcalf for Highway En- gineer. Filings close on February

Failure to file such an affidavit will mean that the candidates name will not be on the ballot. Forms will be sent out to all candidates by the Board i'm mediately after February l.

 Appointment of a representative of the Department of Labor in AL aska to succeed Mike Haas, who resigned recently to enter business in California, is creating consid- erable speculation around the Ter ritory. Active candidates for the position, according to reports, are Arthur Hedges ot the Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission and Leonard Evans, now with the Territorial Department of Labor.

 Governor Gruening was in An chorage and Fairbanks this week, sounding out sentiment in connec- tion with a request that a special session of the legislature be called. He was also looking into the re- ported crammed conditions at the University of Alaska and inyestl- gating the circulated reports that the University might have to close on grounds that it hasn't enough money to operate. Both of the school papers - the Polar Star and Collegian - have been crusad- ing in an effort to get additional funds. Actually, there was little danger that the University would close. It might, like other institu- tions of the Territory, have to get along on less money.
