Democrat Still Have Ernest


 Alaska Democrats, at the mo- ment, are in sort of a pickle ment." They have a couple of con- yentions coming up within the next two or three months. In this Division the first will be held at Sitka. probably next month, and then the Territorial, with repre- sentatives from all Divisions, pro- bably in Anchorage in January. The lines are already forming be- tween the Gruenings and the anti Gruenings. The former are starting their attack through the so-called Jackson Jefferson clubs. Gruening cohorts are attempting to dominate these clubs and thus try to get hold of precinct committees, and ultimately delegate votes to the Divisional Convention and to the Territorial
 Up in Juneau Mike Haas. former labor department representative in the Territory, is the moving spirit. From news dispatches on the club meetings, he apparently is aided and abetted by new Secretary of Alaska Joe Kehoe and Treasurer Henry Roden. Joe made quite a speech at one of their meetings the other night in Juneau. Also beating the drum is Katherine Nordale, new Collector of Customs, great pal of Delegate Bob Bart lett.
 The antis are working quietly but not overlooking any bets with the result that the Democratic party in the Territory is about as badly split as the Republican with its White and anti-Nhite feud.

Heaviest Flood Of Local
Yule Mail Expected Here

Postmaster Verdi Won Thron
opened the Christmas mailing
season officially this week with
issuance of her annual appeal for
early mailing of Christmas greet
ings and gift packages.
Its later than you think" the
postmaster warned. Most people
wait until December rolls around
before they give the increasingly
heavy Christmas mails a second
thought.
The postmaster expects the
greatest flood of Yuletide mail in
local history. She predicts it
would exceed "by a considerable
margin" the record d-breaking 1850
holiday season, when the Christ
mas mailing was again as large
as in 1947.
This years deluge of Christ
mas mail will strain post Office
facilities severely" she stated.
''But we'll get everything deliver
ed by Christmas, if the public CO.
operates whole-heartedly.'
Christmas packages for distant
States should be mailed by De-
cember 5th, she declared. All
Yuletide parcel post should be on
It's way by December 10th.
| Christmas cards to friends and
! loved ones in other States should
be deposited by December 15.
Greetings for local delivery should
be mailed at least a week before
Christmas.
Preparations to handle this
Yuletide rush have already begun.
The postmaster is accepting ap-
plications for extra mail clerks
and carriers. Thousands of bright
new postage stamps are on hand,
and the post Office pens are all
getting new points.
To keep Christmas mail on
schedule, the postmaster asks that
you
1. Stop at the post Office next
week to purchase the extra stamps
you're going to need, thus avoid
ing last-minute crowds. When
buying stamps for Christmas
cards, bear in mind the desira-
bility of sending the cards by
frst-class mail. The rate for un-
sealed cards is &c and cards mailed
in this way do not rate forward
ing or return services.
2. Check and revise your
Christmas card address list this
weekend. Pudchase your Christ
| mas cards early and address and
stamp them at once. Then put
them in a convenient place for
mailing at the proper time.
3. Lay in adequte supplies of
heavy cardboard, sturdy outer pa
per, strong cord, and printed
Fourth Class labels for wrapping
parcel post. Packages are limited
to 70 pounds in weight, and must
not measure more than 100 inches
in length and girth combined.
