they talked about their teens
and earlier married life and
looked at pictures of those
days, getting many good laughs
about the situations that caus-
ed the pictures. They had
lunch with their hostess and
a very pleasant afternoon at

week and is now enjoying it
after the unfortunate expert

have the rain and the cooler
weather and to know that
growing things would get a
new look and grass would be
green again. 1t would take
days OF rain for all to have
enough, but there were CRATE

With the summer months half
gone, it could be that such in

Among some dozens of reSOlu-
tons adopted by the Republican
Divisional Convention in Anch
sorage November 8 were several
that may escape notice. These
were a series of resolutions that
awDuld put Alaska government
more directly into the hands of
The people at the local and per-
-sonal level. Outstanding were:
REDISTRICTING of the Terri.
tory to guarantee rural repre-
sentation in the Legislature; En-
actment in Territorial govern
ment of INITIATIVE AND RE
FERENDUIM, which will benefit
all Alaskans.
Considerable attention was
also directed toward economic
development of rural areas SO
that Alaskans may make a 'aiv
ing in Alaska without continued
dependency on federal spending.
y believe this emphasis is partly
due to increased activity in the
convention of rural delegations,
such as those from the Matanus-
ka Valley, Kenai Peninsula.
Prince William Sound, and in
dividual delegates like Denny
Moore of Kokhanok.
1t is a custom of party conven-
lions to make pious resolutions.
stSeveral of them l prefer not to
inotice.) We've seen all this be-
fore. However, I am convinced
from personal experience that
non-partisan public approval
can strengthen those groups and
persons in either major party who
stand for fresh outlook on pop
Hiar democracy.
q, therefore commend these
actions of the Divisional Repub-
lican Convention, hoping that
Third Division delegates can get
them accepted at their Territorial
Convention next month. / hope
most of all that they will be fol-
lowed by tangible legislation, and
even more important, in admins
1ration.
ssE-DISTR1CTING, to guaran-
texas representation in the Legis-
iature, rs of special importance to
the people of the Valley, and is
worthy of our all-out, non-par-
tisan support.

James w. Wilson
Named 10 Alaska
Safety Council

Governor Stepovich'S office
this week announced the appoint
ment and acceptance of various
regular members to the Alaska
Safety Council These are repre-
sentatives of industries and gov
ernmental agencies throughout
the Territory.
Named from the Palmer area
was James W.. Wilson, territorial
commissioner of agriculture.
No planned meeting Of the en-
tire Alaska Safety Council has
been set, according to Emery E.
Kennedy, safety director and ex-
ecutive secretary of the Council.
However, an executive board
meeting in September of this
year outlined general policies Of
the Safety Council and establish
ed an advisory status for regular
members.
At present, three acUlve COM
mittees are planned for the
Council, They are on traffic,
school and home safety, and in
dustrial safety (including con
struction, mining, woodworking,
and transportation. Membership
on these committees will be an
nounced as soon as placements
are made.

November 18 at 8 pm. in the
does not include a vast list Of
items.
I'VE had hoped that a continu-
ing about economy drive might
enable us to hold the rate level
established ia 1854. Our untitled
cargo program has enabled us to
hold increases in cargo handling
costs below the national trend.
We have scheduled vessels to re-
duce costly idle periods to a mini
mum. We have sought economics
wherever the maintenance Of Al
aska's essential service would
permit (. but we have fought a
losing battle.
Our position has been explain
ed IN detail to the Federal Mari
time Board and other government
agencies. Recent cases heard BY
FMB have followed formulate for
rate-making. Our presentation is
based On these forInulae. but pro
vides a somewhat lower rate OF
return than has been allowed in
other trades. 1t is interesting to
note that Alaska Steamship Com
pany has never earned even close
to the full allowable rate Of re
turn, since regulation was first
established.
TO brag little since 1947
lines in the Alaska trade have
had two general rate increases
up to this time one for l5Go, the
other 712 %, the cumulative ef-
feet over the 1947 rate being an
increase Of 23.6395. In the same
period the Pacific Coast-Puerto
Rican Conference has had six in
creases, cumulative effect 124.-
959o; the ICC regulated Pacific
Coastwise Conference and West
Coast Railroads 10 increases,
cumulative effect 1922; the
Hawaiian trade seven increases,
cumulative effect $685..
I'VE regret the necessity for
this increase We trust you
will understand our position"

Tells OF NEED
FOR FREIGHT HIKE

On November / steamship lines
which are members Of the Pacific
Coast-Alaska Freight Conference
ALASKA Steamship Company and
Coastwise Line) will file tariffs
or supplements with the Federal
Maritime Board naming a Ii per
cent increase ID all rates apply
ing in the Alaska trade. The ef-
fective date of the increase will
be December 2 1857.
The following quotes were
taken from The Alaska Line
Newsletter, dated October "a,
1857:
Here at Pier AZ we receive a
good many dope sheets, ranging
from the elaborate publications
Of the National Industrial Con-
ference Board to the four page
copyrighted Kiplinger Letters.
All are intended to aid the bust
ness man in planning his future
course. All view with varying de-
grees of alarm the continuing up
ward spiral of the cost of doing
business (and the cost of simply
living in the United States TO-
day.
I'VE think any business man,
in Alaska Or elsewhere, could
write his own story On this sub
ject. The newspaper publisher
with rising newsprint costs-the
merchant with upward trends in
inventory prices-the construc-
ton man with mounting wage
and material expense mot to
mention the housewife who finds
the family dollar far less stretch
able than before all are thoro-
ughly familiar with the story.
Here is some Of the story as
it affects Alaska Steamship Com
pany. Since the Newsletter first
appeared in July 1856, we have
reported increases in certain costs,
the effects of which can be fore
cast on an annual basis. The par
tial list indicates increased an
nual expense OF operating our
fleet at $l,151, 009, and this figure

Parentsl! Did you know that
your children between the ages
of 10 and 21 are eligible to join
All club?
This is a wonderful opport-
unity for both you and the chill
dren as All has SO much to offer
everyone who is interested.
The All club movement in
Ohio is an extension activity
sponsored comparatively by the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. The Ohio State University
and the county extension service.
The main objective of All club
work is the development of boys
and girls through a program
designed to provide for their
continuous individual and social
growth.
All provides a stepping stone
to help young men and women
along to worthwhile achieve
ments; but success in All comes
only through their own hard
work. All will not do their work
for them but will teach, encour-
age and show them how to work.
All will recognize and reward
them for their work and will
offer them the opportunity to
make many good friends. Al
will help them develop good
character because it is on these
principles that All was founded
and has grown to world great
ness. All will strengthen their
family ties and will develop
their own qualities of leader
ship. Above everything else,
All will help them become bet
ter citizens and better Ameri-
cans.
Last year over 2 million boys
and girls belonged to All clubs
all over the United States. This
total does not include the ap-
proximately &c foreign countries
that have All clubs or clubs pat
termed after them. Last year in
Noble county there were 410
boys and girls enrolled in 80
different clubs in all parts of
the county. These members, be
sides taking an active part in
their local club and working on
their projects, attended training
meetings, participated in the
talent show, demonstration con-
test, style revue, county camp
fire, achievement night and some
IS of them attended All camp.
This gives you an idea of what
your children can learn and do
through a All club.

The Redskins managed only
