( of ( Board Recommends
 Many By-LatO Changes
Continued from page D

COntlnued from page l) appointment of correspond ing secretary, who will be placed on small annual salary. That secretary will be responsible for the handling of all Chamber cor respondence. Correspondence now often necessitates answers to 50 to 60 letters monthly, and the board felt that duty too heavy to be carried by one sec retary.
 The present office of secre- tary-treasurer will be retained, and the office of second vice president will be created, under Tuesdays outlined plans. Since the corresponding secretary will receive salary, that pos ition shall not be considered an office in the Chamber.
 The matter of dues and fees received close scrutiny on the part of board members. It was decided to recommend the in- crease of Chamber dues to $12 annually, with the increase to be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1948. Hereafter all new members will pay a $5 membership fee, in ad- dition to dues. After Feb. 1 of each year, dues will be pro-rated at the rate of $2 a month.
 It was ruled that members shall be notified by the secre- tary of their delinquency, if dues are not paid within 30 days after they are due. Any member who does not pay within 10 days after that written notice may be dropped by resolution of the ex- ecutive board. He may be re- instated upon payment of his dues, plus the $5 membership fee.
 Absenteeism on the part of members of the executive board also will be penalized, it was ruled. Any member of the ex- ecutive board, either an officer or a director, will be dropped from his position if he fails to attend three consecutive and regularly scheduled board meet ings, unless he has notified an- other member of the board that he will not be present. Vacancies on the board may be filled by election of remaining board members.
 Appointment of standing com mittees, names of which will be written into the bylaws, was generally discussed at Tuesdays meeting. President Jack Maze named tentative heads of com mittees. His selections will be brought before a regular meet ing of the Chamber membership for approval.
 Committees deemed necessary to carry on the work of the Chamber included:
 Public relations, publicity membership, finance, industry, agriculture, recreation, roads and trails and legislation. The list still is incomplete, MT. Maze said. He will welcome sugges- tions for other standing com mittee needs.

Flowers Brought 10 Juneau
 By PAA Clipper

Tropical flowers are blooming in the Pan American Airways window today, as the snow swirls on the sidewalk and blankets the streets.
 The exotic plants arrived Tues day via Pan American Clipper, brought from Honolulu as a Christmas greeting to the people Of Juneau, and are on display in the window of the PAA office at the Baranof.
 The plants, which include the wax-like bird of paradise and gin- ger flower, were arranged for dis play by Mrs. Gustine Cameron of the Juneau Florists.
 Idea for the unusual Yuletide greeting was originated last year by Fred Dunn, PAA's district sales manager here. This year, Dunn has modestly admitted, the idea has be- come Alaska-wide, with tropical flowers from Hawaii going to all Pan American offices in the Ter ritory.
 The flowers arrived via Pan Am's newest route to the Hawaiian Is- lands, which puts Juneau within a short IS hours flying time from sunny beaches at Honolulu.

NO DANCE? DIVORCE!

There has to be legal precedent for every thing, and now we have it in the of husbands who can't Cor won't learn to rhumba. Circuit Judge Julius Miner of Chicago granted divorce to an attractive brunette of 30 years who said she loved to dance but her husband, 38, was a dud on the dance floor and refused to take lessons"
 Therefore, to the other welknown divorce grounds such extreme cruelty, deserton, conviction for felony, adultery and ncompatibility now must add refusing to learn to rhumba We haven't gone into the courts opinion thoroughly, but presumably it is equally bad for husband to refuse to learn the samba, the fox trot the waltz
 If Fred Astaire and Arthur Murray don't get rich after this, it will be only because the profits tax slows them down.

THE SPECIAL SESSION

The Empire has already given it's views on the special session of the Territorial Legislature.
 Here are the views sexpressed by William Strand, Managing Editor, in the Fairbanks News Miner:
 Governor Gruening has called the Alaska Legis- lature into special session for IT days beginning January G. His call specifics that members of the new Legislature being called despite the fact that the next regular session does not start until Janu ary 24
 The converting of the new Legislature before the start of it's normal is without precedent in Territorial history But it does not come unexpect- edy view of the Governors behavior since the last regular session. which he did not control.
 However, there other equally important con- alterations which Territorial inhabitants doubtless will have cause to reflect in the next few months
 Many of the legislators will be serving their first terms in Juneau They to spend the allotted days considering tax revenue raising legislation in ad vance of the business of the regular session.

 Sam Roper, Exalted Cyclops of Klayern 197, was a visitor, made a long talk on the Macon meeting, congratulated the Klan on the fine Macon attendance and the great job they were doing for the South Grand Dragon Green urged klansmen to consult Klavern off cers before taking the law into their own hands TSlansmen can call him at his house or office any hour of the day or night If things need to be strengthened out" The Grand Dragon also told how he handled the boys of the press at Macon, said he had had one reported from a Pitts burgh paper thrown out. Obvious ly referred to Boyack of the Pitts burgh Courier, though he pronounce ed the name "Bodkin'o
 Grand Dragon was boiling mad over the fact that some sorry, loWdown scoundrel" hung up an effigy klansman in full robes. He was having the robe examined for laundry marks or any telltale clue that might identify the owner If necessary, we will have all the robes called in and each Exalted Cyclops check to see who is short of a robe in his Klavern,' said the Grand Dragon . Exalted Cyclops Roper described Drew Pearson as such an obnoxious liar he would not believe him on his deathbed." :" .. :.

MoKELLAR WON'T YIELD

Tennessee'S never-say- Sena- tor Kenneth McKellar won't step ,side for anyone else to become president pro tenn of the Senate IS long as he has strength nough to swing a gavel.
 In fact, the Democratic dean is privately campaigning for the off, ice which he is supposed to in- herit under the Senate's seniority system. When he heard that dap per Willard Tydings of Maryland might take the job away from him, McKellar dictated an appeal to his colleagues.
 Some have asked me" he wrote, as tactfully as possible, whether I will be an applicant before the Democratic caucus for the position as president pro tenn of the Senate.
 Should my colleagues elect me to the place, I would esteem their action very much
 Note When an unsuspecting newsman innocently asked senator McKellar his age the other day, the TenneSsean flew into a rage and actually beat and kicked the startled reporter.
 What are you newspapermen trying to do," he shouted, put me in my grave? You keep calling me a tottering, ailing old man because you don't want me to become presi- dent pro temt

 Sometimes most rarely, there subjects that slap him right in the face fairly screaming" for comment. These may pertain to local ones, most im- portan to his home town national international affairs.
 Most editors believe, want to be constructive. Tearing down tactics criticisms without offering something better cures, taboo
 Too many editors take themselves too seriously. After all, each one is just mere to express a personal opinion. How little value editorial opinions have is well illustrated in the recent national eec tion. The main thing for any newspaper. of course, to publish without bias the news regardless of any editorial opinions.
 Also, in some instances, editorial writers try and find out what the popular side of question before taking stand However, most editors have the forti- Jude to stand by their convictions unless proved that they are wrong, regardless of the popular trend

amount of pompous, high-pressure talk,
And as the lighthearted Fishback ads con-
tinued to appear, other firms learned the
lesson, too. As result, good percentage
of the ads you see today are in the chuckle
vein, with cartoons and funny remarks.
All this time she was writing poetry.
Like other poets, she passed through series
of periods. Her first might be called the
Bachelor Girl Period. She insisted on being
the young sophisticate. She Dragged that
she couldn't boil an egg and referred to
children as 'brats." She went in for ballet
and leaped around in what friend de-
scribes as ''nauseous green tights"
Tried 10 Seem Wicked
MosT of her poetry was about cocktail
lounge love, in which she tried to appear
wicked. But she never fooled anybody, as
can be seen by verse she wrote:
,conder mhy was equipped
Wah such conscience that it's nibted
Each happy impulse tn the bud.
Is Cotton Mather in my blood,
That / should rigidly esehew
The pleasures I'm entitled to-
Oh, kiss me quickly, DEAR before
get a chance to close the door.
The Bachelor Girl Period ended abruptly
in 1895. Ken Collins, her boss, was the first
to notice it Miss Fishbacks advertising
copy got dull and syrupy, and she insisted
on writing about rugs all the time. Collins
knew that she had no more natural interest
in rugs than in double-entry bookkeeping,
50 he did bit of detective work. 1t turned
out Margaret had fallen in love with
Macy's rug buyer, young man named
Alberto Antolini. Collins forbade her to
write anything more about rugs, but she
and Antolini got married anyhow.
Margaret filled her Office with so many
pictures of her husband, talked about him
50 incessantly that Collins remarked, why
not get him tattooed on your arm?"
In her Bachelor Girl Period, she had writ
ten a verse in revolt against suburbs:
I shan't be difficult 10 suit,
A microscopic place wtH do
For me - but I ,CiH not commute
Not ecsn, dear, to lire with you.
As soon as she was married, she and her

husband bought house in New Jersey that
required long and cruel trip twice day.
Margaret also changed over to domesticity
in other ways. She learned to boil an egg
Later she went whole hog and agreed to
spend summer week ends at farmhouse in
Maine (the one with the deep WE'LL. Here
she even learned to shingle roof.
In l94l. the Domesticity Period was
intensified into Margaret's third, or
Little Tony, Period. Margaret was going
to have a baby - it was closely guarded
secret among her 1000 most intimate
friends. The girl who hated brats suddenly
became changed person. When she left
Macy's of an evening she often astonished
Seventh Avenue street urchins by patting
them ON the head.
Miss Fishback kept on with her job till
the very last. Then she left in general flood
of good wishes and rushed directly into con-
fnement When an advertising friend,
Stanley Jones, was told that she'd finally
quit Macy's, he said, This is Gimbel's big
gest opportunity in ten years"
Margaret emerged from ether and started
writing poems - or it would appear so. Her
public was apprised of every new develop
ment in her sons young life. She flooded
the market with poems about how beauti-
fully he dented his teething ring and how
masterfully he hurled his junket against
the wall
Iu.;e&s Sh~ss Rsssred
AT THIS point Margaret has not quite
emerged from the Mother Period. She still
pounds away at her portable typewriter
and smiles as her healthy brat runs fire
engine over her open-toed slippers. She
really insists that she's retired. Outside of
her part-time writing for Macy's she's taken
on only few big jobs. One was writing
radio theme songs for I. J. Fox furriers.
But it got too tough. Il had to rhyme tele-
phone numbers and street addresses" she
says And did you ever try to find rhyme
for kolinsky? All l could think OF was
Minsky so gave up the whole thing
Miss Fishback is always claiming that
she's giving things up. Personally, we're
looking forward to her Grandmother Period,
when she'll be fully retired and writing only
four poems week plus, of course, few
articles and advertisements. The End
