GIRL SCOUT NEWS

The Nome Girl Scouts left town Saturday morning and arrived at their Dexter camp around II.
 When we arrived at camp we all hurried to prepare our sleep ing quarters.
 At first we didn't follow the regular schedule but did more or less as we pleased. A few of the girls were anxious to try the water and see how it would be for swimming. They found it slightly cold!
 Saturday night we had a wienie roast. The girls all had lots of fun in spite of the fact that they overly barbecued their wienies.
 This year there are Is girls at the camp.
 The girls are hoping for good time. They would also like some good weather and no mosquitoes.

PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE
 HARRY LUNDEBERG
Monday. July ?. 1852

After weeks of temporizng and phony promises, sailor boss Harry Lundegerg finally dropped his mask and presented himself to Aaskans in his true coors He unmistakably proved his insncerty together with a complete and utter disregard for the welfare and livelihood of O00 Alaskans We brand him fraud and 24-carat heel.
 Lundeberg who is a nauralized citizen of the Uni ted States has apparently forgotten the principles of democracy he was obliged to searn when he sought American citizenship. He has chosen to ignore the inherent right of all Americans to base their existence and continuance in society of free men, not on the arbitrary will of another, but upon their rights and powers as members of the commonwealth
 Unfortunately, we have admitted to citizenship too many of Lundebergs ilk Men who outlaw them selves from the company of free peoples by their gang ster tactics. Lundeberg, for example, holds in his lr responsible hands the power to destroy the economic stability of community of 5000 people and does not hesitate to that power to gain his selfish ends
 This gangster was willing enough to seek and ac- cept the rights and privileges of citizens of this naton but has turned his hand against his fellow citizens He has obviously determined that rights to be en- oyed by others, only at his pleasure.
 AlaSkaS business men are enduring severe hard ships at the whim of this hoodlum AlaSkas house. wives are financing his criminal desposm by paying airborne prices for foodstuffs normally shipped by water The tourist industry, construction and most small business has been made to feel his might.
 For Mr. Lundeberg's information, Alaskans have had bellyfull of his shenann gans. Let him get to- geher with the shipowners and settle his strike and restore service to the Territory without further delay
 Lundeberg has bragged that his union was free of Communist influences He may be correct in that state ment but Alaskans unable to detect iota of diff erence between the tactics he employs and those used by the Reds
 Lundeberg declared his allegiance to America when he asked to become citizen. He pledged himself to uphold the principles for which many men have fought and died Now call upon him to act like an American So long he is permitted to continue his ruthless assault Alaska's economy, he will make a mockery of the Bill of Rights.
 Lundeberg's lack of good faith has made it sary for Alaska to seek intervention by the federal government We hope that such aid will be forthcom- ing promptly and that the right of Alaskans to live normally will be restored
