ALASKA RAILROAD
 GREATEST AGENCY
 FOR DEVELOPMENT
WIFE OF SECRETARY WILBUR ENTERTAINED BY SEWARD
 LADIES DURING BRIEF STAY

Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife of the Secretary of Interior with her son Ray, Jr., arrived in Seward on the Aleutian last evening. With the party is MT. Ebert K Burlew, Ad- ministrative Assistant to Secretary Wilbur, and his son John. Accom- panied by General Manager Ohlson, they will spend several days travel ling over the Alaska Railroad, go- ing as far north as Circle City.
 In an interview today, MT. Bur- lew, who is Budget Officer for the Interior Department, stated that the purpose of his visit is to in spect the railroad and other Inter for activities in Alaska. Secretary Wilbur, he stated further, is very much interested in the development of Alaska. With the education of the natives, the public land, terri torial government, mineral re- scources and the Alaska Railroad under his jurisdiction, he was one or the active sponsors of the plan to appOint a Commission for the Terri tory. Governor Parks is the Com missioner for the Interior Depart ment. and others have been ap- pointed to represent the Depart ments of Agriculture and Com merce. These are Federal agencies having to do with the major ad- ministrative problems of Alaska.
 Secretary Wilbur is convinced that is to be benifit ot the Ter ritory to administer it's affairs as much as possible in Alaska. With this in view, he recently moved the office of the Chief of the Alaska Division of the Office of Education from Seattle to Juneau. The new Commission promises to juStlfy It. self completely as soon as further avenues of cooperation between the departments have been opened.
 The Alaska Railroad, added MT Burlew is of course the greatest dvelopment agency in the Terri tory, and Secretary Wilbur is fur thering all projects which will in fluence it's growth and usefulness He is particularly interested in the mineral, agricultural and reindeer industries as potential revenue pro- ducers for the railroad and the Ter ritory. Every -endeavor will also be made to utilize Alaska coal by the various government bureaus oper- ating in Alaska so as to eliminate importing coal from the outside The annual deficit is less than half what it was several years ago and at the same time the rolling stock and right of way have been great ly improved under General Man ager Ohlson, who has the confi- dence of the Secretary of Interior

AERIAL WELCOME
 HOME EXTENDED
 ID MRS. SWARTZ
DORBANDT & COPE WILL FLY TO WESTWARD FROM
 SEWARD, WINTER

The drone of a faraway plane or it's roar when soaring close overhead, reSOunded most of the day here, and all from one source, Pilot Frank Dorbandt who, with Mrs. Dorbandt, and partner, Alon- 20 Cope, flew here from Anchor age yesterday to welcome home Mrs. Swartz, wife of the well known physician and surgeon.
 As usual, to herald his arrival in the gool ol' town, Dorbandt travelled down Fourth Avenue the aerial continuing on to far down Resurrection Bay where the SS Aleutian could be seem eaS terirs the harbor about nine miles away. To attract the at tention of Mrs. Swartz, on board the vessel from Seattle, Dorbandt began to cut capers, zooming all around the liner. Finally, they saw Mrs. SWartz and after way ing greetings, back to Seward to land and greet her in person at the dock
 Pilot Dorbandt, who is rapidly becoming known as Alaska's pre- mier aviator, had hoped that the SS Aleutian would be out at sea 50 or 100 miles for he would bats liked to pick up Mrs. Swartz at sea, transferring from the steamer to the plane, and beating the liner into port by hours.
 As the plane was seen to frol- lie about the Aleutian down the bay, jets of steam could be seen escaping from the litAer's whistle but no sound heard here. After an interval of what seemed about five minutes, there was borne ! feihtly to the ear, three hoarse ! blasts
 Thursday Dorbandt left Bethel, 6CO miles away in the Kuskokwim, lat 11::2O, arriving at Anchorage at 5:3O. Remarkable flying time for that distance figuring the stops made enroute. He had Bob Sommers, road engineer. with { him on the flight in and picked I'D Carl Lotsfeldt, road superin- tendent, in the lower-river area. I Dorbandt and Cope dispatched radio to Point Barrow, three days ago, notifying authorities there that should the food shor- tage become acute, as it is feared it will owing to shore-ice condl- tions which does not permit yes sells to land, they stand ready to fly to Barrow's assistance with supplies; free of charge! @ ' Dorbandt made known to The Gateway that this winter they will fly to theWestward from Sew ard, leaving their pontoons here and changing here from skis. The local head of the Seward Aviation 1 Committee, Cal M. Brosius, IS IT consultation today wth the afr men to offer and assist them in their local needs.
 Referring to the local airplane landing field, now being completed, Dorbandt stated he had learned it was the intent to chop down all trees back of the present area to the river which will give ample airway for landing or takeoffs. When the days work is com pleted here today, Dorbandt re- turns to Anchorage with Mrs. Dorbandt, Mrs. A. A. Shonbeck, Mrs. SWartz and Cope, as passen- gers.
 Last night the plane rested on the placid waters of Bear Lake.

HOW MUCH TO PAY FOR HOME
SHOULD BE GIVEN ATTENTION

Every family must face this ques
tion. Most people know what they
would like in the way of a home
and know that they could make
payments at least equal to the rent
they are now paying. When they
inok over houses, or plans of houses,
they find some that cost too much
and others that are too small or toe
shabby to consider. The real prob
lem lies in getting n satisfactory
home, one that will not absorb too
much Of the famiiy's income nor
yet be below It's general living stand

Cost Under Limit
Usually a house can be obtained
for less than the amount a family
could pay if it were pressed to the
limit. Every family wants to spend
its money so that it ''goes the farth-
est" and the exact amount to be
spent on home can be determined
wisely only by carefully checking
over the family's needs and its ex-
penses. There are, first of all, the
obvious budget items of food, shelter
and clothing. Proper nutrition. es-
pecially, should not be neglected. In
addition, there are expenses such
as life insurance. doctors, hospitals,
etc. IF there are children, it may
be wise to send them away to school,
to buy Il piano for their use, or to
give them other advantages which
cost money. Every family needs a
vacation and some recreation, and
every family wants to contribute to
worthy causes. Photographs and
automobiles or new pieces of furn-
iture may be wanted before the
house is paid for Many other items
of expense cannot we'll be avoided
il the amount put into house is
out of proportion to other expendi
lures. the result is usually regretted.
In deciding how 10 spend money
above the simple necessities of life
it Is always best to note which ex
penditures have permanent value.
Money spent to provide education
end wholesome outdoor life for
children, for instance. will help
them throughout life, while certain
expensive amusements are harmful
or less wholesome than the simpler
forms of play. Articles for the
household that are useful or in good
taste, again, may serve for many
years, whereas expensive. foods are
quickly eaten and soon forgotten.
