PESTS ATTRACTED
BY GREEN LEAVES
Tree Expert Warns Against
Damage in Spring From
Insects.

When the tree starts to unfold its
tender green leaves in the Spring 1t
starts to set the dinner table for a
host of insects and parasitic fungous
growths, warns Paul Davey, promi-
nent tree expert.
"Out in the forest, unaided by man,
the tree wages a constant and often
losing battle with these unwelcome
guests all through its growing sea-
son." Davey continues. Where hu-
man aid is available the tree has a
much better chance to retain not only
its beauty but its general health as
well
If you want your trees to have
the rich foliage nature intended them
to display and to retain their full
vitality the subject of foliage spray
ing is worthy of your closest attention.
Particularly 1t should have your at
.tention in the Spring, because the
insect or fungous spore which Is
killed early is not going to produce
swarm of progeny you will have to
fight all Summer. II you UNDER
stand the nature Of the task which
confronts you and act promptly you
can keep the upper hand over the
tree pests.
Two ClassificatiOns.
There are two general classical
tons Of insect pests, the suckers and
chewers. Among the suckers are the
various forms of scale which should
have been destroyed by dormant
spraying. Others are various species

the head of the housing movement,
and to launch studies of costs in an
effort to remove the difficulties which
are blocking a large national housing
program.
Since a certain amount of hous-
Ing has been completed, it will now
be an advantage to evaluate what has

tural profeSsion-in view of the fact
that in the next decade there will be
a tremendous forward movement in
housing construction of all types"
says a statement of aims issued by
she Housing Committee, of which
Walter R. Mccormack of Cleveland is
chairman.
Housing Authority Favored.
with the setting up of national
housing authority under the Wagner
Steagal BILL if enacted it will be
possible for the first time in the
history of housing in the United
ing contact with Government.
Since this housing authority is
not to be an actual construction
agency, but research and Stimulat-
ing agency, it will provide a means
through which the architectural pro-
fession can express itself and make
constructive criticisms for carrying
ont rrppro,pc IF bo,cjpo ", tpo ,,,ri
Gus sections of the United States. The
result to be secured from the housing
act will be more effective if the ma
tlonal housing authority concentrates
on research and promotion of low
rent housing by local, State and mu-
nicipal government.
In this connection, as a matter of
organization, it might be we'll for the
board of the institute at the Boston
convention to make the suggestion
that each chapter of the American
Institute of Architects organize a per-
manent housing committee which
shall act as the local agency through
which the main Housing Committee
might present the case for housing in
the various districts more directly to
the people and more especially to the
banks and other lending agencies, real
estate operators and the construction
industry as a whole
National Organization Sought.
Before the architects of the coun-
try can effectively assume leadership
In this field it will be necessary for
them to organize thoroughly on a
Nationwide basis. BY this means it
will also be possible for the institute
to build up housing policy which

definite suggestions and recommended
tions, based on the needs and the
varying conditions found in different
sections of the country.
ANY Federal housing authority, set
up for the encouragement Of local
activity, may be expected to investi-
gate very thoroughly certain basic
principles relating to financing, land
acquisition, management, community
planning and construction.
Since this organization will have
the finances to carry on thorough
going investigation of the entire field
it will offer to the architectural pro-
fession an opportunity of inestimable
value in securing for the localities in
which the various chapters operate in
formation which will assist materially
in building up sound local programs" 4"
Community Planning Considered.
The matter of community planning
is one in which the architects should
take the lead not only in so-called
paper planning, but in comprehensive
studies of all the economic and social
elements which enter into the final
preparation of city plan in fact as
well as on paper, the committee de-
clares.
In this connection it may be cited
that some of the racial difficulties
encountered in housing projects were
aggravated by the attempt to provide
housing in areas in which those to be
housed had no particular reason for
occupying" the statement continues.
In other words, the location of the
housing was determined without giving
due weight to employment, and to the
working out of a sound economic basis
Of living for those who were to be
housed.

crease in the ability to pay more in
rent.
The architectural profession, know
ing that the cost Of housing today is
far beyond the ability of so per cent
OF the population to purchase or pay
for, would be professionally dishonest
not to insist upon a thorough in
vestigation Of the entire cost structure
OF housing-for the purpose Of max
ing findings and suggestions to cure
the difficulty. The profession should
call attention to all the elements in
the picture which now prevent the
construction OF so-called low-cost
housing at costs more commensurate
with the incomes of those to be
helped.
Vital Reason Emphasized.
There is no doubt that the reason
We are now having a larger housing
program Is because of the tremendous
spread between income and ability to
pay the cost of the house or apart
ment, be that cost purchase price OF
rent, both of which must truly re.
flect construction costs"

INDIANS TO GET eco
 WORK SAYS PAUL

Ketchikan-The eco enrolment in Alaska may be increased from 325 to about 600 to provide for employ ment of needy Indians, according to word brought north by William L.. Paul, field agent for the bureau of Indian affairs, on the steamer Yu- kon. Mir. Paul is enroute to Ju- neau after spending some time in the national capital on business.
 He said that $160,000 originally appropriated for the Indian emer- gency conservation work in the state has been turned over to the forest service for the Alaskan eco. The transfer of the funds was made because there is no Indian emer- gency activity in Alaska.
 MT. Paul said he believes pro- jects on which Indians will work will. be planned jointly by the forest service and Indian bureau, witht the forest service in charge of the work when it starts.
 In an effort to spread work as much as possible among needy na' tiyes, MT. Paul said he has made ar- engagements for 22 Indians from Southeastern Alaska to be sent tC Bristol bay this season to fish. Var ious Bristol bay packers cooperated to give the employment he said.

Wrangell Will Not
 Go To Music Festival
Only High School Not Represented
 At Meet

After rehearsing for the Music Festival since the beginning of the year, the hopes of the girls to make the trip came to an abrupt aalt, when the last meeting of the old school board voted not to allow Miss Harding, music supervisor, and the girls to make the trip.
 The Music Festival to be held next week is the third annual one and will be held in Ketchikan. It is un- der the direct supervision of the school superintendents and music teachers of s. E. Alaska. Partici- pants are carefully selected 3n the basis of vocal and instrumental standards. This year Juneau IS seding 30 students, Douglas 4, Pe- tersburg 10, Wrangell Institute 2 and Wrangell had been allowed 3.
 Reasons given by the school board for vetoing the trip were re- ported to be because they did not want the teacher to be out of school to attend the festival and also be- cause Miss Hunter and the students attending the Festival in Juneau last year had gone without asking permission of the board. Why the board waited until this late date to veto the trip was not divulged.
 Miss Marjory Miller, Ketchikan music supervisor in direct charge of the Festival has been counting on the Wrangell delegation to fill im- portant places in the chorus and Miss Harding was to have assisted in chorus rehearsals and to have directed one of the concerts.

 If it had not been for the h. ternational Frequency radio she is equipped with, no word would have been received from the boat.

Captain WeSterlund
 Dies After Operation
Senior Captain Of The Alaska
 Steamship Company

Seattle .- Capt. Carl Westerlund, 55, master of the steamship Alaska and senior master in the organiza- tion of the Alaska Steamship Com pany, died on April 6 following a re- cent operation.
 He is survived by his widow and one daughter.
 Like most hardy mariners of Scan- dinavian origin, Capt. Westerlund took to the sea as a young boy in sailing vessels, and was but four teen years old when he first glimps- ed the broad expanse of the Pacific Ocean via Cape Horn.
 On arriving in Seattle he decided to stay and become a boatswain on the old Mariposa which had been acquired by the Alaska SS Com pany.
 Since then he has served as com mander on many of the units of his companys fleet and for the last several years has been the popular captain of the Alaska.
 While impressive services were being conducted in Seattle, his shlp the Alaska, lay at her berth at Pier 2. The clangor of winch, scream Ot line through sheaves and shouts of workers were stilled for a time in mute testimonial to the widely known skipper. Overhead the ships flag hung Imply at half-mast.
 There will be a special meeting of the Wrangell Fire Department ir the Fire Hall at P M. on Monday April 18th. All members are re- quested to be in attendance.
