SURVEY BEING !. MADE IN LEMON
 CREEK VALLEY
Holbrook Making Study of Old Road with View
 of Improvement

Wellman Holbrook, Forest Exam iner, United States Forest Service, today began a reconnaissance sur vey of the old roadway up Lemon Creek Valley, it was announced to- day at regional headquarters of that Service.
 The purpose of the survey is to determine the practicability and ad- visibility of slashing out the old right of way and improving it to Forest Service trail standards. Ii is reported that several desirable homesites would be made available by trail construction there.
 The road at one time led to a sawmill, abandoned many years ago, and a number of mining claims. In recent years it has not been used except by occasional pe- destrians.

many more will register tonight.
 Cooperation has been assured the Legionnaires by private citizens, firms and public officials, munich pal, Territorial and Federal, in their program. The data it assem- bles will be furnished employers of labor and be made the basis for placing of jobs during the Fall and Winter months. Work and not charity is the objective. It was made clear today that Juneau's eff fort will be first of all to see that it's own citizens have work. This, it was pointed out, is no small task and will require sympathetic CO., operation from all sources. This, Commander Petrich said, was as- sured. Jobs are apt to be spasmod- ic during the winter, and there is no hope that employment can be furnished persons coming here from other points, it was emphasized.
 Conditions are good here, it is true, but the field of employment is naturally limited, it was said. It is hoped to create some extra work to relieve what unemployment there is among local people but there is no chance to go beyond that. If each community will adopt a similar policy, thus avoiding the problem of floating labor. there will be no serious hardships suffered by anyone in Alaska this winter.

Bows, Arrows, Beauty
BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, M. d.

BY CHARLOTTE C. WEST, NJ. ID.
A RCHERY. the most ancient of sports
has suddenly become of absorbing
interest to modern lovers Of physical
activity.
Expert archers are found among the
councillors at camps. Boy and Girl
Scouts are taught to make their own
equipment and to prepare themselves
in the art Teachers of physical educa-
ton in schools and colleges include 1t
in their curricula.
Archery is clean, wholesome sport
The technique is apparently simple. II
requires much practice, however, to be-
come skillful.
While mastering the technique, con-
centration is evolved in those who have
never developed this faculty Archery
is a panacea for the restless, for over
wrought nerves, because Steadiness OF
hand and of eye-in fact of the entire
body-iS an absolute necessity to one
who hopes to become even fair archer.
The position of the body is Of the
utmost Importance to the success of the
sport. Many persons seem to think
that any standing position in which
they can comfortably, hold the bow will
insure them good opportunity of hit
ting the mark, but this is a mistake.
OF all positions the following is ad-
vocate3 by expert archers: The heels
are placed six or eight inches apart.
the left foot at right angles with the
target, and the right pointed from it
at an angle of about AS degrees. The
weight of the body should rest equally
on both feet, the knees straight, and
the whole body, neck and head kept
erect

This attitude makes for poise, so
essential quality to women DESTROYS
Of beautiful carriage.
Again. 1t has the advantage of i'm
mediately calling into action the mus
cles of the back and breast. While
tempering the back, it moltS the breast.
1t also enables the archer to LAY his
body on the bow" that Is, to make the
most use of the muscles of the body.
In this sport the body Is apparently
still; in reality every muscle, under
perfect nerve control, is wide awake,
alert, instantly ready to obey the silent
command to loose the arrow.
The aim, of course, must be perfect,
and here the advantages to those whose
sight Is unsteady and whose vision Is
not Of the clearest will instantly come
to mind, for all the exercises ever de-
vtsed for improving eyeSight, "the
point of aim" in archery is at once the
most simple, the most correct, and the
most beneficial.
The point of aim" is a term used to
describe the correct method of aiming
in target shooting. Before letting the
arrow go the archer looks over its
point, the line Of vision extending
from the right eye along a straight line
to or above the target. When aiming,
the direct vision should be on the
point of aim" which is covered by the
point Of the arrow.
merely allude to those points in the
sport to make clear the various ways
in which archery improves the eyesight,
develops Steadiness of the nerves, cult
Yates poise gives grace and beauty to
the body, while perfecting the back
and identifying the outlines and
contours.
