HARRINGTON

The opening gun in the member
ship campaign for the Harrington
Parent-Teacher Association was fir
ed Monday when a meeting of the
team captains and their assistants
was held at the home of Mrs. Jessie
Tee. This week is known as Parent
Teacher Association Week.
In past years the membership
phase of the local association has
been sadly neglected with the result
that the membership has been less
then one hundred. This year the
goal has been set at five hundred. 1t
is believed that with over seven hum
dred students in the school, the
membership should be very much
greater then in past years. The an
nual dues are but 25c and every
home should be enrolled to assist
with the many worthy projects that
have been sponsored by the local
association.

Benefiting Mankind,
(New York Times, ,--


 The Rockefeller Foundation, faithful to it's charter continues to give thought to mankind as awhole and to the fundamentals which in the long run the control of mans destiny depends" Yet as Dr Max Mason the director, has stated in present. Ing his report for the year 1883, the stress under which so many were living in that year compelled more attention to the near at hand. More than $1 100000 of the total was given for unemployment relief for family welfare and for other needs in this community Yet there is always inherent if not expressed, a concern for the ultimate good of the race Health for the world is it's first objective but here too it begins at home with liberal appro- priations to health departments medical schools, research programs and nursing education.
 A private agency such as the Rockefeller Founda- tion is not limited, as is government research by national boundaries. It follow problem wherever that problem develops and thus gain ex- perience in handling situations under a great variety of conditions" Moreover it can give aid to official agencies both by helping them to apply the latest tested and tried measures for disease control and by conducting research work in field and laboratory Its long aim is that of increasing the normal span of life and decreasing illness within that span. There is no more romantic or inspiring story in the life of the world today than that of the unceasng warfare that men of science are mak ing against the enemies of that day and night for his destruction wait" more stealthily than Milton could have known The report carries on its first page the obituary notice of one of the field men, in charge of the Foundations fever laboratory in Brazil who for eleven years had there fought his fight
 The health work is, however but one phase of the work Of this Foundation In the social sciences it is looking into the future as far as human eye can see and "all the wonder that would be- In the natural sciences it's policy has been to select and support leading men and institutions. Distinct help has also been given in encouragement of humanistic studies. Beyond these services it is helping many agencies and institutions to meet emergencies
 All in all, it is report to give satisfaction over what has been accomplished through this American agency for the general good and to give hope of still better things

FORTUNATE FOR JUNEAU.

The announcement in yesterdays Empire by Lyman s. Peck, Vice ePresident, and General Manager of the Pacific Alaska Airways that his company was now closing details for the purchase of 75 acres land for airport and would start developing it immediately is significant and important news tt everyone in Juneau
 Primarily it is important because it insures Juneau an important airport of call in the rapidly developing worldwide air transport system Through such port, much additional business will flow through Juneau not only in passenger tourist traffic but it will tend to make Juneau more and more headquarters for the commercial activities of the entire Territory hub in the wheel of distribution throughout the Territory. It is impossible to esti- mate the direct commercial benefit the traffic through this port will bring to Juneau, but it will be notceaby and effectively large
 Further the ground and flying that will be stationed here will add to Juneaus steadily growing permanent payroll
 The fact that the Pacific Alaska Airways Com pany is devloping the field privately saves the city of Juneau the Territory for the time being at least, from the expense of putting in a municipal or Territorial port development that would have been necessary in the future if to hold its own in the development of air travel Throughout the States municipalities have spent huge sums, necessarily raised by taxation to build airports that commercial airways would make these cities ports of call.
 The development of the airport also evinces the confidence large company has in the future of Alaska and Juneau. All of us living here may well be encouraged by this action and again feel assured that the future of Juneau is bright, that we are living in a region of real opportunity, that ample rewards will come to all who have faith in the country, and the energy and intelligence to do their part in developing it.

CURB SUSPENDS TRADING
ON WHEN.ISSUED BASIS

Trading in securities on a when,
as and if issued basis Of they are
securities that should be registered
under the securities act of 1889,
when no registration statement nee
essary to be filed under that act is in
effect, is a violation of the act"
The commission said this was not
to be taken as a formal opinion or
Interpretation by the securities diW-
sion of the Trade Commission. and
that it was expressed to the Curb Ex-
change by telephone on its request.
The opinion applies to when
issued" sales in all exchanges. It was
based on the belief that such sales
are actually sales of securities even
though no actual stock certificate has
been issued.
The securities act provides that any
securities sold the public must be reg
istered with the Trade Commission so
that certain information about them
is available to the public.
When there is no such information
available. the public cannot obtain
the, facts as provided under the act
and the sale is a violation, it was
said.
The when issued" transaction is
customarily used on exchanges to pro-
vide a market for a security prior to
its actual issuance
This is supposed to enable the
issuers Of the security to know the
price which they may expect and act
accordingly.
The transaction has been criticized
by some as purely speculative oper-
alton, with no relation to the actual
value of the security in question.

TO LOW FOR YEAR

Total at New York
Blamed for Drop.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 31.-On account
Of the short week and the sharp re-
duction at New York City, bank clear
ings have receded to the lowest total
in more than year. The aggregate
for the five days ended Tuesday, May
%, at all leading cities in the United
States, as reported to Dun & Brad
streets, Inc, was $3,494, 400 900, or a
decline of IA per cent from the total
for the corresponding five-day period
of 1888. At New York City, clear
ings were S2,277 ,907 900. a loss of lo.4
per cent, while the total of Sl,216,-
$4,000 for all outside centers, was
higher by 21.2 per cent than that of
a year ago.
The loss at New York City re-
fleets, to considerable extent, re-
duced trading in the securities mar
kets. Last year at this time, the spec
ulative operations, which eliminated
In the heavy trading during June and
July, were well under way. Stock
market dealings the past week aggre-
gated 5000, 900 shares, whereas a year
ago total sales were 26,28o 900 shares.
This weeks clearings are $685., ,498,-
600 less than those for the six days of
the week preceding; year ago, for
the same two weeks, the reduction was
$363, ,295 900. Cams at most of the
outside centers continue quite large,
notably at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and most Southern cities. May clear
iQPS are l21 per cent below those of
April, for which month the amount
was the largest for two years.
Figures for leading cities, showing
increases and decreases compared
with those Of last year, are printed
