NEW BARGE FIRM S NOW OPERATING IN SOUTHEAST ALASkA
Owner Hopes for Reduced Freight Rates Through
 Expansion of Service

With a novel transportation idea for Southeast Alaska in mind, and several years experience from which to work. J. Hawthorne has arrived from Seattle and will attempt to include Juneau as a working port in his proposed barge line while here
 The plan would be an expansion to his already operating Alaska Straits Tug and Barge Co.,, which is currently working wi'h three barges and two tugs, che 400 h.p. vessel and the other being larger at 1900 horse power Two of the barges are of 1000 ton capacity and the third handles a 1000 ton load.
 Hawthorne said his barges have already made two trips carrying cement and steel to Mt Edgecumbe, are now loading material for Kechl- kan in Seattle and are transporting war surplus material from the Shemya area just east of Attu to Seattle.
 It is Hawthorne's plan to expand the company to include four addi- tional 1800 h.p. tugs, six more 2,000 ton capacity carges and several sur plus LST vessels which would serve as targes and be transported by tug power.
 By utilizing the LIST craft, flaw thorne hopes to make the delivery of goods from the States to South east Alaska ports with less expense and a minimum of handling. He would accomplish this by having large trailers in the states to pick up the desired merchandise for Alaskan ports. The trailers would then be placed on the LISTS fully loaded and transported to their destinations. At that point the trail CTS (still loaded would be taken from the LST and pulled by truck to the desired warehouse, thereby saving a great deal of time and handling by the door to door method O. delivery
 Not only will my system be saving to Alaska merchants when acquiring their goods, Hawthorne said, but the reduced cost of trans portation would lend to the expan- sion of Alaska cuilding and aecele- rate the movement of other indus tries"
 Using the southeast Alaska pulp industry as an example, Hawthorne said the produce from Alaska pulp sites could De carried to rail terminals on a comparable rate ba- sis with the materials from Cana dian areas of pulp produce. This, ac- cordlng to Hawthorne, would oper- ate on the same system as used by the Chicago Milwaukee railroad for the past 35 years.
 Hawthorne said that arrangements have been made with the Canadian National Railways for the bullolng or cocks and access to water rights at Prince Rupert Charles F. Ennott of the Great Northern Rail circuit Is expected to arrive in Juneau Mon day to confer with Hawthorne on the project.
 Hawthorne has lived in Alaska at various times during the past 25 years, his most recent venture being the Industrial Engineering Co.,, in Ketchikan, three years ago. Since that time he has made his home In Seattle while working on his. pres ent project.
 Having lived in Juneau for about five years, Hawthorne was in busi- ness here nearly 25 years ago when buying fish for his Icy Straits Pack ing Co., in Hoonah. He Is also former resident of Hoonah.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker says only 127 of the 22OO planes the Air Force is buying transports Our transport planes, he says, couldn't begin to meet needs in another war.
 His point is we'll taken. The Berlin air lift has em- phasized the necessity of maintaining adequate cargo fleet To supply Berlin, have had to suspend much transconnenta air traffic and call in planes from Alas ka and the Caribbean.
 Captain Eddie says the military air transport service has only 537 operating transports today. During the have 15,600.
 Fighters and bombers essential And trans ports Air power like power, must be based than bombers and carriers, fighter planes and subma rines. There must be supply ships. Without them no war can be fought successfully Captain Rickenbacker dered real service with his warning:
 Without learge air cargo power to step in at once, this country will slump into transport paralysis If lack the planes to do the job productive capacity will soon shrivel up and die
 We trust those who spend the billions Congress appro- priated for air power will heed his friendly counsel

N.W.A. FAIR IS SUCCESS

As the tenth annual Fair becomes history and filed away in the archives let's take time give recognition to the members of the Board of Directors of that ization for not only did they all work relessly to pre- sent exhibits but went step farther this year and brought in talent for entertainment which was an ed cation as well as listening pleasure.
 Fair only be achieved through the cooperation of many people it involves an infinite amount of de- tall to present and is of great importance to the district as way Of showing progress and development.
 Although it was busy time of year the superintend- ents and other workers did fine job
 This year of our Fair farther than it ever had Tn the past bringing in mouth-Watering exhibit from Matanuska, fine quality moose hides from Me- Grth and warus skulls with tusks attached from Oo- mede lsand and fine display of vegetables from Una lakleet.
 The whole-hearted appreciation of the community goes to the 752nd Air Force Band for the voluntary fer and generous rendition of fine music.
 Also to the charming young artist Margaret Renfrew who not only gave her organ concert scheduled but generously gave the school children of their own
 Let's all take time to express appreciation to the Board who made the five-day event possible They are C. D. Jones, Antonio Polet, Ruth Mercer Elmo Miller Mrs | Ole Hay, James Walsh Sam Mogg, and c. D. Anderson who was both Board member and manager of this years Fair.
 Many people viewed the exhibit from Matanuska and remarked the beautiful yellow turnips which were included These turnips have interesting history
 Many years ago the Alaska College (not the Univers- ty of Alaska) Experimental Staton sent out varieties of many kinds of vegetable seed for interested parties to plant. Among the seeds selected was a Russian seed called the Perosky turnp, which found to thrive and grow in adbundance throughout the Territory It became popular that it about the only seed used until the when the supply from Russia stopped. The Alaska Development Board, recognizing it's value cobed the United States for all available seed and were able locate less than five pounds it is reported This was turned to Maanuska farmers plant for seed only until supply could be established. This has been done and now limited amount of the seed is again available.

It's Time For An Answer
tBY Barnet Nover)

The fighting address on the Communist issue which President Truman delivered in Oklahoma City was by all odds the ablest and most effective speech he has made so far in his campaign for reelection.
 In it Truman took the war to the enemy on grounds of the enemy's own choosing. The Communist problem is serious enough with out being made political football, with demagogic appeals to fear replacing a sober discussion of the facts.
 The temptation to resort to dem agogy on this issue has proved too trong for many Republican spokesmen and even the COP. Presidential candidate himself Now President Truman has re- piled in kind 10 the charges launched against him and his ad- ministration and in doing so has turned the tables on his opponent.
 In his speech in the Hollywood , Bowl, Governor Dewey said much that cannot be said too often on the subject of Communism as a world menace.
 As during his primary cam paign in Oregon, the governor took the enlightened position that while we could not afford to ignore the Communists neither must we out law them.
 ''If we ignore them we give the cloak of immunity they want" he said. "1f we outlaw them we give them the martyrdom they want even more"
 Dewey did not limit himself 10 such observations. however. The temptation 10 capitalize the hulla- baloo stirred up by the Thomas un-American activities committee 10 far inc present administration directly and by innuendo with the Communist brush proved foo great for Dewey 10 resist.
 At Los Angeles he accused the administration of having encour- aged, not hindered, the Communist advance He asserted that it had permitted "Communists and fel- low travellers to rise to positions of trust in our government" of giv- ing them "every consideration and protection" And he charged President Truman (whorl he did not name) of having, with his "red herring" statement, given aid and comfort 10 the the enemies of our system" ! These charges and others made even more vehemently by lesser ! Republican spokesmen were effec- lively demolished by President Truman in his Oklahoma City speech. AS he pointed out, government employees have since 1889 been required to swear under oath that they are not Communists. Presi- dent Truman did not cite this fact as proof that there have been no Communists in the government during the past nine years. As he said: "We all know that Commun- ists are trained to lie."

Women in Arms

Although uniformed Wacs, Waves,
Spars and women marines were
common sights during World War
II, it is not generally known that
women served - bearing arms - in
the Revolutionary war. One woman,
Deborah Gannett of Massachusetts,
who enlisted in April 1871 under the
name of Robert Shurtleff, served as
a private, was wounded at the
Battle of Tarrytown, witnessed the
capture of CORVALLIS and was hon
orably discharged from service in
November 17GS. Like many of her
modern counterparts, she filed a
claim for a pension in September
1918.
