Although the Civil Works Ad- ministration ceased it's existence throughout the nation today, AL aska included, Monday morning AL askan employees on CWA projects will go back to their jobs as usual under the Works Division of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, it was announced today by Gov. John w. Troy, Ter ritorial Administrator.
 We are advised by Delegate Dimond that the sum of $82,000 has been allotted to Alaska for this work, and that it will prob ably be the final allotment" Gov. Troy said. He expressed confid- ence that it would be possible to complete all of the existing pro- jects.
 No new projects can be approved under the circumstances. It will be necessary, also, to continue to de- crease the forces employed each week. For the past month, 200 men weekly have been dropped from CWA rolls. In order to keep within the current allotment it probably will be necessary to drop an even larger number every week. The funds will be sufficient, how ever, to keep going until near the end of April.

Rain Sunday, Says
 Weather Man Mize, But Maybe It Won't

"Rain Sunday" is Wealth CT Man Mize's answer to . the query that has been . most agitating the finds of . Juneau's feminine popula- . ton for several days. That . doesn't sound any too en couraging for Milady, who in large numbers has invest ed new blouses and other . finery to greet the Easter tide tomorrow.
 But they needn't be too . downhearted. Even the best c of weather forecasters have . to guess more or less and sometimes they miss it en- tirely.
 . Just take today for i1- stance. Yesterday after dec- orating his charts with a . lot of funny looking curly lines and spotting it all up . with small circles, dots and . figures that mean nothing . to the layman, MT. Mize op- . ined it was going to rain . today. Of course it did. But . not enough to hurt even . the most fragile Easter hat . or the prettiest and daint- . ist frock.
 . Maybe Sunday will be just like today. And anyway, if it is a little damp, last winters galoshes and um- brella can still be used in a . pinch.
