Surprise Jeffersonians

Territorial Treasurer Henry R0den, another old timer who Game with the first, is getting loaded down with titles. Henry's latest claim to fame is being elected president pro-tem of a newly organized Jefferson-Jack- son Club in Juneau. Coming on the heels of being appointed ex- under the equally famed Reor- @pnization bill passed by the 10th Legislature, some skeptics were wondering if the Reorgani- zation bill was going to be in tsrpreted to include the Demo- cratic party. At any rate, Henry has himself new title and the distinction of being Jefferson ian Democrat, no less. Other sur prise Jeffersonians in the new club include Mike Haas, Peter Wood, Gene Lockridge, Gus Alm- euist, Harry DeLand, Elizabeth Peratrovich and former Repre- sentative Abel Anderson, just to mention a few.

SMOKED FISH AT FIRE SALE

Ph1CES - LESS THAN CEILING
 Two local nImrods Were trying unsuccessfuHy to unload some not smoked Ilsh Lhis week.
 IL all began last sunday when Jimmy odom and George Wick caught nIce mess of Isn and de- clded to smoke them in uncle Fred Hanfords smoke house Wasn ( much of a house anyway.
 With the smoking operation all most completed, Odom and Wiek put just one more stick Ill the fire then went down town and told the boys all about this fish smoking business they're now experts!
 After promising samples and giving advice on fishing, our heroes strolled back up to the location of the smoke house behind the Odom residence. There they found no smoke, no smoke house, no smoked fish-something just wasn't right!
 About that time H. B. Smoke eater ThornQuist called over to tell them he had put out the big L4l6 III luSAI ydIus l u6u tue UOyS noticed the little pile of ashes where the smoke house had been sitting. With tears in their eyes they dug through the ashes of the burned-down house and found the charred remains of their fishies- you can have 'em for the taking
 Speculation at the coffee club as to what or who caused the Il C, varies. Banker Thornquist may have done it because he couIdn get the mortgage on it. owner and Office of Price StabilizatIon D4rec- tor Hanford may have done Il 90 he could get away from rent ceil- ings. At least Wick and Odom cant understand how one extra stick of wood could make the difference!
 Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Odom, who doesn't want the main house to burn the next time, the boys are rebuilding uncle Freds smoke house. They are going fish ing again this week end.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
He was in the Malamute

Robert D. Sheldon, Director of the Employment Security Commits sion for the last ten years, is going to retire next Wednesday. John Mclaughlin, long with the Com mission, will probably step in qs Acting Director until the Commission meets in the fall to name successor.
 Bob Sheldon is one of Alas ka's landmarks. He "came with the first, my God how he cur sed" and still he's here. Fairly Bob was in the Malamute when the Stranger measured Dan Me Grew for a wooden wardrobe. He is sometimes Nalso credited with being on the woodpile swinging an axe when they cut the wood to cremats Sam McGee At any rate, he's been around the north since '97 and has an outstand- ing record of public service and personal record of untarnished integrity. Beb came to Alaska as a boy of 14 and was around 2kagway for some time after the turn of the century where his first claim to Alaska fame came with building of the first automobile in the Territory and, incidentally, one that ran. He later went into the transpor- tation business and with Jim GGalen operated the first fleet of tourist cars into Mckinley Park. During the sos he took Democrats perogatiYe and served as postmaster at Fair banks, destinction Bob des- sribes as being the "only first class postmaster in second class post office.' In 1941 he took over as Director of the old HCC, later to become the ESC, and has served in that capacity with credit to himself and the Territory. AS he steps out, All aska loses a fine public official, ~ul AlaSho uOSS llOl lOSG ASdA Alaskan and grand human being.
 No old soldier fade away" for Sheldon. First, with Mrs. sheldon, a little travelling a. round and then back to the old stamping grounds, the Golden Heart of the North. Heck" says Bob, q might even run for
 Governor some time" Mean while, he may be coming back to the Legislature in which he served in 1925 and '27 as a House member from the Fourth Division. The oldest continuous ly published newspaper in Alas ka, along with scores of others in the north, wishes the best to Bob Sheldon.

To Ferry or not to Ferry

To ferry or not to ferry was the $64 question up around Jun eau this week. As a stop-gap to keep the financially staggering ferry system between Juneau and Haines in operation until the Alaska Road Commission can get around to operating it, the Territorial Road Board amour ced it was stepping in to pick up the tab to the tune of S20,000 and would operate the system until other arrangements can be made. However, Steve Homer, who started the enterprise was to keep a certain amount of the stock. Up came Auditor Neil Moore with the $64 question. Didn't, asked the Auditor, the Or ganic Act prohibit the Territory from making any subscription to the capital stock of any ineorpor- ated company, Or in any manner lend its credit for the use thereof nor create, nor assume any indebtedness, except for actual rum ming expenses (of the government) thereof"
 Attorney General J. Gerald Will Hams was stuck with the question. As this column was being rushed to catch the home edition, the Ter ritory's legal light was deep in thought.
