Seldovia will have a cold storage plant this season. according to word brought to Anchorage by Jack Tansy, member of the bureau of fisheries force. The building which is to house the cold storage equipment has been completed for some time and the plant would have been in operation last year but for the stock market crash, which caused some delay in the financial arrangements. These diff cuiies have been adjusted satisfac- toriIy and it is expected that the first of the equipment will reach Seldovia on an early boat.
 There are no starving children in Seidovia, according to MT. Tansy. he admits .uat some of the native fam lilies were rather hard hit by the fail ure of the winter herring catch, which they depended upon to tide them over tq the coming of summer, but their condition is not nearly so desperate as earlier reports would seem to in- dicate. The bread line was a com plete failure because there were no Erngry children to keep it going.
 Following the discoverey that there were several apparently under-nour- ished children attending school, some Qone suggested the need of com munity soup kitchen and one was started. The first day three children took advantage ot the free food, there were three children in line the second day, and two the third day. After that the food was prepared in vain. There were no starving" children to feed and there have not been any since.

 Yehle, who has 8 small home. and garden across the river at Fairbanks, and who has heen receiving Terri tnrial support, once told the marshal that years ago he had bought a life insurance pplicx. When friends told hm that insurance was worthless he stoppea annual payment, which he had maintained for seven years. When his cabin in the Koyukuk hurned some years later the policy vas destroyed and he then became sure in his belief that his investment was lost to him.
 While .bIarahal Smith was in Seat tie recently he visited the office of the North American Life Insurance Company, stated the case of Pioneer Yehle, ,andi was informed that the company had been seeking him for tan years. The marshal came away from tho. office with a check for x1,s.5, which was delivered him yes- terdaay. fternoon.-
 Mr. Yehle restored to- the Territnry the. money. he had drawn as pension and had the balance deposited in such away. that he will be secure finan- ciallx for. years to come.

 Wherever one looks there Is trouble-real or fancied-with the schools
 Turning to Hartford one finds the hardy perennial of school consolida- tion again local issue" this year seeing some of the sub surface ob- jections being brought to light.
 Advocates of a retention of the district plan in Hartford seem to be of the opinion that centralized man. agement would permit the Yankees" to operate the schools in- stead of the district authorities, who are supposed to be representative of the majority of people living in the districts. Thus the racial issue un- deries the district controversy; and it isn't a good issue to underlie any thing in this land of equality before the law.

 am with you to the end of tho world to have Laymen's Bible
 class in case the Everyman's Bible class fails to exist"
 The Y. M. c. A. is open in the afternoon Sundays and arrange.
 ments could be made to, open Sum- day mornings for a bible class, at very little expense. Mir. Barnes was out of the city when Mir.
 Humphrey called so no decision could be obtained until his return next week. The class has been try
 ing to find a meeting place for three years and has failed but we hope that this procedure will meet with success as we know that the Sun day school and Bible class interfere with each other. .- It was far from my intention 10 overstep my privilege but alPs well that ends well. Some of the min isters were in favor of this plan and every member of the class except one or two I consulted. The pres:- dent is very lenient with me and E
 hope the class in general will be. Perhaps I was too impetuous but my conscience IS clear. L..... .-,. , (Signed) C.. A. HUMPHREY.

JUST ANOTHER WILD SCENE

The so-called policies" outlined by Gregor Strassal, Fascist party spokesman in the Reichstag of the German republic, appear to include var in order to shake off the sEackles of the Versailles Tretay. But whose war? Who would be sup posed to fight the Fascist made var? Certainly not the Fascists alone. Like all other war-makers they would expect the common peo- pie to do thelr bidding, their fight irg. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Fascists stand alone. sur rounded by bedlam and fist fights.
 Chancellor Bruening the day be- fore had outlined peace policies. and the chancellor is supported by all the other parties, including inc Communists. It is very unlikely, therefore, that the German Fascists will do more than shout. Like all demagogs seeking popular approv- al. they promise too much and in this instance they go so far as prom isIng bloodshed, which nobody but fcols desire.
 There are two kinds of expert trouble makers in the world, Com munists and Fascists.

BACK TO HUMANISM

Night work for minors under IS and for all women in most of the country's cotton textile mills will be ended March 1 next. That comes by vote of the Cotton Textile Institute, representing a majority of northern and southern mills.
 Night work for minors and wom- en in mills was a legacy from the World War emergency. It has taken ten years to reach the Humanitarian principles that guided the industry before the war.
 Incidentally the depression in the textile industry aided in returning to the broad general principle that a mill at night is no place for minors or for women.

their labors. The present depression affords them with an excuse for loafing and they are seizing the op- portunity with alacrity. Not only that, but they definitely turn their backs-and turn up their oses- when the prospect of job is offer- ed them.
 We have heard recently of a num- Der of instances bearing this out. Several people seeking men to beat rugs, clean up yards, and do other odd jobs have made the rounds of the gentry who hold down the cop ing around the monument in Central park and have found it extremely difficult to find any of these pro. fessional rail sitters who are willing to work for them. In one case, after some seven men had turned the chance down, the next one agreed to beat some rugs. but after striking few half-hearted blows he inform ed his employer that the rugs weren't very dirty and went his way
 Another instance is reported 1yom the city storeyard, where the unem- ployed gather to receive city jobs. A contractor is said to have offered 8 fortnight's work to a. reasonable number of men. but the ''unfortu- nate" fellows disappeared in short order. One of them, cornered and asked why everyone was fleeing the chance to pick up some supposedly necessary money. said, "Oh, we'd rather work for the city. It's easier"
 With such an attitude prevalent among a fair sized proportion of the city's jobless. it would seem that the efforts of Mayor Quigley and his as- sociates to find paying work for them are unappreciated and that when the upturn finally comes again, it will be difficult to herd the men back into the factories. If they feel, as many appear to, that there is no need of working, inasmuch as the municipality and charitable in. stitutions will not allow them to SC hungry, the city must find some way of shaking them out of the lethargy or else adopt the disastrous dole system, which seems to have perpet. uated a class of professionally un. employed in Great Britain. Already the prospect of charity has created an unhealthily slothful mental atti tude.
 It is too bad that many of these shiftless fellows have wives ant families. Otherwise, they could bt let severely alone and permitted deservedly-to starve.

SCHOOL TROUBLES ELSEWHERE

Down in New Haven it was dis covered last year that when school teachers have leaves of absences or are ill, it is not necessary to employ teachers in their stead at the same wages, but the work can be done by substitutes with little experience and at lower wage. Consequently the economical city dads saw way to save" the city s1OO.O0O a year. So they trimmed the school budget ac- cordingly.
 But for some unexplained reason fewer school teachers took leaves ot absence and not many of them be- came ill. Consequently the school

WHY BOB IS SOUGHT

The mysterious disappearance of Charles V. Bob, banker, capitalist and engineer, appears to be an at t, mpt by him or his friends to evade unpleasant consequences re- garding the alleged financial condi- ticns of some of the concerns in which he had been prominent.
 At first, after the financier had disappeared while preparing to avi- ate from Chicago to New York. the police sought him to return him to his family. Now they are seeking him out of pure curiosity.
 Bob was the financier who some time ago proposed a chain of float ing airports across the Atlantic Ocean, which would enable planes to land for oil and other purposes while crossing to and from Europe. He was commonly referred to as an "angel of aviation" was patron of church and science, an acquain- tance of leading New Workers.
 Bob's financial interests read like a page from a directory of enter prises. He had a hand, and an i'm portant hand, in so many corpora tions that even his best friend must have wondered how he found suf- ficient time to look after his part in these enterprises.
 Now the Grand Jury has taken hold, and it is alleged by various officials that investors may lose d pretty penny.
 Conservative people are some times called slow and lacking in that dashing enterprise which some times leads to fortune. They usu- ally live to T ripe old age with d minimum of worry.

1000 MILES IN ONE YEAR

'As in all states where road prog ress has been noteworthy, Iowa is utilizing the bond issue plan" runs a dispatch telling of the construc- tion of 1000 miles of hard roads in Iowa this year.
 The western farm state is being felcitated for pulling itself out of the mud" and now has 3,340 miles Of hard-surfaced highways, every town in the state being connected by such a road.
 Suppose Iowa had been content to GO this work on pay-as-you-go policy? It would have taken many years for it 10 attain it's present standing as sixth in the mileage of hard-surfaced roads Four years ago the state was 17th in the na- tional standing.

THE WHITE COLLAR WORKERS
 AND SKILLED MECHANICS

During the present period of mas adjustme ent not enough attention has been given to white collar workers and skilled mechanics, many of whom are in just as bad straits as outdoor laborers. Indeed, to listen to the remarks of some of our verbal public benefactors, the only citizens needing aid and comfort are the out door workers. Nothing is further from the truth. Indoor men, many of them skilled in various pursuits, are just as seriously impeded in the search for happiness and content ment as any other class of laborers.
 Road building, street improve ments and such enterprises designed to produce needed improvements and employ labor at the same time are all right as far as they go. But such things do not help the white collar workers, or their next of kin, the skilled mechanics.
 Pathological unemployment is what ails the white collar workers and the skilled mechanics, and they are not trained to work digging ditches. Giving them such work is something of a farce. What they need is skilled employment along lines to which they have been train ed. Endeavoring to make street and sewer workers out of them is not solving the unemployment situation nor is it doing their municipal em- ployers or themselves much good.
 Most such workers are educated; i; or they have. in the majority of cases, obtained an education above the average. It has come to our knowledge that one graduate of the local high school of some years back had justly refused to accept ditch digging job from the city on the broad general principal that to have taken it would have reduced his chances of obtaining employment in his regular line later. The point is he had sufficient intelligence to req son this out. Another such white collar worker. having taken a job as dishwasher, was spied by friends and jibed, with the result that he quit.
 Most white collar workers, aided by relatives and friends are not in terested in the efforts on behalf of the unemployed by municipal au- thorities, who will provide picks and shovels and such utensils as a means of helping through the emergency How can they be? There is nothing being offered hereabouts that car help these necessary workers in normal times but heartlessly forgot ten during slow times.
