POSTAL RECEIPTS
 SHOW GREAT GAIN Kensington Office Report Bellies
 Claim Berlin Is "Slippin5" FACTORIES SWELL TOTAL
Prentice COmpany's Addition One Factor in Incrcasc-Annual Town Meeting Set for Monday Night Church Notices.

Although it is claimed by some that many residents are moving out of town, that the town is dcCroaS- ing in population, and that alto gethcr Berlin is on the dOWngrade, reports received from the Kcnsing- ton post office would indicate that the contrary is the case. Postmaster $. NJ. CoWl"S of the KensingtOn office has issued q statement showing that the last quarter, including July, Aug Ust and September, with the cXc"p- tion of one Christmas quarter, has produced the heaviest business in the history of the post office. During it's entire existence the Kcnsington post office has not done as much busi- ness during any single quarter than it has this summer. Excluding Sep tcmber, the office has figures to show that it did more buslncss dur ing July and August then during any other similar period in it's history.
 Money orders have shown an al most tremendous increase and have now reached a point where $4,000 seems to be the average monthly fig urc. According 10 Postmaster Cowlcs, this large turn over is un- usual for an office the size of the one in Kcnsington. At the present time the office is handling between 65 and 75 bags Of mail day, and with tn" Christmas rush due 10 start soon T I,t ed.
 There are several explanations for this increase, the most plausible be- ing the fact that local industries h;,ve taken a boom within the past fw years. In particular the addi- lon to the G. F. Prentice Mann lacturing company late last year created more mail than it was thought at the time would be the case. The American Paper Goods Co. adds a great deal to the local mail channels and so does the Berlin Construction company. The effect of all those companies is felt not only in Kensington but also in Der lin, where the increase has also been noticed

OPPORTUNITIES IN
 ALASKA FOR ALL
 SAWYER TELLS }. [.

Ernest Walker Sawyer, execu- tive assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, who is conduct ing an investigation of true con- ditions in Alaska with a view of stimulating development of op- portunities existing in the Ter ritory, gave official Washington a few things to think about, in a recent publication in the Capitol City
 Mines, fisheries, water power and forest resources are the four industrial opportunities which MT. Sawyer declares do exist to un- limited extent in Alaska today Citing examples in Southeastern Alaska, MT. Sawyer called atten- tion to the $1O,OOO,OOO pulp and paper plant that Los Angeles and San Francisco capital is projecting in the vicinity of Ju- neau, and the existance of water power sites capable of supplying up to 5O,OOO horsepower which is what new lake recently dis covered within 20 miles of Jul neau will furnish alone.
 "There are 8O,0OO,OOO feet of timber close to water and easy to get out" he told Washington ties, "and there is the newly discovered Taku Gold Strike, which, tho not on Alaska soil, is just 10 miles across the line into British Columbia, and the work ing of it awarded to the Alaska Juneau Mining Co.,, after a mill lion dollar bid for the properties had been turned down by the discoverers," MT. Sawyer pointed out the fisheries, the tourist traffic and the aviation develop ments in that section, and then added, "and what I've told you about Juneau and Southeastern Alaska is but a drop in the buck ct of the possibilities of the great Interior of Alaska"
