Your Community Paper

There are few Negro communities in
the United States that do not have access
TO one of the several hundred Negro news
papers. many of which have been published
for fifty years or more. Contrary to the
general belief. there is room for many
more such newspapers, and while the CIR
culation figures would indicate scarcity
If readers. the field is wide open for eX-
ploitation.
The function of the community news
manor differs widely from that o! the dali
~ or metropolitan newspaper While the
daily newspaper must of necessity blow up
and sensationalze the sordid ana crlrn'hai
happenings, the community newspaper can
n its editors choose, present a more nal
anced fare. with the sordd and the GRIM
inal reports relegated to the minor posi-
ton they deserve.
Readers of community newspapers for
the most part seek guidance and leader
ship They are partial to reports thar orlng
news of the continuing struggle Of the Ne
gro people for social and political equality,
Most editors of community papers are a
ware that the dailes devote little space to
vital news regarding Negroes.
IT Is a serious mistake then when COM
munity papers, in an attempt TO initiate their
metropolitan counterparts headline the
crime and misfortune that seems to be al
ways at hand rather than probe more deep
" and come up with the constructive news
that has greater educational value.
Too much stress is placed on the apnear-

VISITORS ASSN. NOW
 MEETING IN JUNEAU; PROGRAM PLANNED

With high hopes for a $100000 budget to launch the Alaska Wis itors Association, temporary offic- CTS were meeting here today to devise ways and means of eventu- ally creating huge tourist in- oustry for all of Alaska.
 The group hopes to obtain S50, 900 from the Territorial Legislature which they will match through memberships, donations and other sources. When this objective is ful- filled, permanet officers will be elected to carry on a program that will bring tourist jingle to the Ter ritory.
 Bob Ellis, Ketchikan airline op- orator and temporary president of the organization, just returned from Hawaii where he saw George Arm itage and the Hawaiian Visitors Bureau in operation.
 T was impressed" he declared, with the friendly attitude of all the people there. They acted as true hosts and treated us as if We were guests in their homes. There , was no one big thing, but many, many little things such as traffic courtesy, patience in giving direc- tions, the kindness of shopkeepers whether we bought anything or not and a true friendly spirit. I think ] we in Alaska need to cultivate more of that sort of thing. AS an in- stance, there was bus strike while we were in Hawaii. Many local car owners made it point to pick up visitors. It was only little thing, but We appreciated it."
 In addition to Ellis, others at tending include a Fairbanks group consisting of Leo Kaye, second vice president; Phil Johnson, treasur- CT; Chuck West; Paul Greimann, MT and Mrs. Bob Rice, and Jack Whaley.
 Larry Moore, first vice president. Anchorage, was expected today. Ju- neau members present are George Sundborg, secretary; Fred Dunn, and Royal OReilly.
 Following a reception at the Gov ernor's mansion tomorrow night, the group will give a party for leg islators and their wives.

LOCAL CD COUNCIL ENDORSES ACTON
 BY LEGISLATURE

The Juneau-Douglas civil defense council at it's meeting Tuesday night endorsed the question of the legislature to enact a short bill giv- ing civil defense personnel the power of arrest for violation of civil defense regulations. Civil defense personnel at the present time have the power to arrest violators within the city limits of any city.
 School practice alerts will be planned after discussions are held with school officials.
 The civil defense council hopes to erect signs in the near future marking casualty stations and to keep private cars from blocking en- frances to the stations. First aid kits will be given to each civil de- fense district as soon as the Alaska Department of Health inspects the material on hand.
 Plans are being made to create a messenger force from the ranks of the Boy Scouts upon obtaining in- dividual parents consent.
 The Bureau of Public Roads ware house will possibly be secured for use as an auxiliary civil defense headquarters. Motor pool plans are being made with the health and disqualification services.
 Four new districts were created at last nights meeting. They are as follows. On the Glacier Highway from the Marsh mink farm to the hill on the other side of Montana Creek, from Salmon Creek to Van derbilt Hill with the Dr. Dick Will Hams residence as headquarters, Salmon Creek to near the Charles Carter residence on the Glacier Highway, and one extending north on the highway on Douglas Island from the bridge. The new districts were created because the existing ones were too large.
 The alert alarm will be speeded up at all other alerts.
