HEAVY ADVERTISING DRIVE
 UNDER WAY CANNED SALMON

SEATTLE. May 14. Alaska's saI-
 mon will appear ou more American dinner tables this summer than dur ing any previous season since can ming of the silver horde began at klawock in 1878. fl expectations og the Canned Salmon Industry adver- ! Using committee are fulfilled, H. B. FrieIe, vice-president of Nakat Pack
 ing Corporation, member of the In. dustry Advertising Committee. de- clared in an interview yesterday.
 The largest advertising campaign ever put to work 10 sell canned sal- mon is now going on,' Friele said. Newspapers in thirty-fiye cities. high power radio stations blanket l ing the country's larger metropoli- tan cities. and outdoor advertise
 ments are telling housewives in ey- i cry section of the country of the summertime advantages of canned salmon for salads and main dish
 es In addition, more than 20 mil. ] lion strong selling messages for Al- aska's salmon will appear in lead l ing national magazines during this month and next A full color page
 featuring an appetite provoking sal
 mon salad to be publised in the Sat.
 urday Evening Post will highlight
 the magazine messages.
 The purpose of this heavy drive l is to acquaint more housewives with i the summertime advantages of can ned salmon. Its nutritiousness, fine
 flavor, and the exceptional ease with
 which hot weather meals can be pre-. l pared make it especially attractive /. in summer" Friele continued.
 l Make Way For New Pack
 Another prime purpose of the ad. yertising drive is to clear retailers ! and wholesalers shelves of salmon
 from last years heavy pack to make way for the new pack when it is ready. A survey just completed has shown us that wholesale stocks arc l 15 percent higher than they were g
 year ago. This is largely explained by
 the arrival in wholesale warehouses of heavy shipments which were held ] up by the three months shipping l strike. These shipments have not vel ] moved into consumption.
 ! Packers will have to get higher prices for the 1887 pack than have
 been in effect this year in order tc : cover the heavily increased cost oi operation oecasioned by increasing l cost of materials and higher wages l to be paid this season.

REPORT IS PERPLExING

The report of Dr. Sonia Cheifelz published elsewhere in this issue Of the Sentinel regarding the high ma ternal death rate in Alaska is view ed with perplexity here.
 Dr. Cheifetz says she finds that for every thousand children born in Alaska, ten mothers die in child birth, the proportion of deaths be- ing divided equally between white and native mothers. That a mother dies in every one hundred births is appalling, although such a situa- tion is far rom being true in Wran- gell.
 Mrs. J. Il. Wheeler, the only wom- an pharmacist in Alaska who owns and conducts her own drug store, states that to her knowledge TO woman has died in Wrangell in childbirth since 1900.
 Miss Margaret Weightmau, gov ernment nurse at WrangelI, who has spent the past 31 years in interior and Southeastern Alaska, has dellY- cred 523 children Of Indian moth CTS, more often than not under the most primitive conditions and never lost a case. Of ten other women h. terYieWed, who have been residents of NrangeIl from twenty to forty years, none can recall a maternal death here. Vital statistics have been recorded in the United States Commissioners office only since 1913.
 Dr. Cheifetz last summer became maternal and child health director for the Social Security program in- augurated h Alaska under the Ter ritorial department of health. Her report is based undoubtedly on ter ritoriaI statistics obtained since her arrival and must be taken seriously
 Under the circumstances Wran- gell women cannot fail to be per plexed by the figures submitted Ter not only have there been 10 deaths in 35 years from childbirth, but the infant mortality statistics do not ap- ply here. Some years in Alaska, Dr. Cheitetz states, one out Of every four Alaskan children born, dies be- lore he is one year old.
 If such alarming maternal and :n- fant death rates prevail in Alaska, it is indeed fortunate that steps are being taken to safeguard mothers and children.

A MILK SHAKE

I will tell you a story. of long ago. Before people had gas boats, when they wanted to go Steamboats were few and far be- tween.
 But we had one, called the Alaska Queen. One day we were coming home in a fog,
 When all at once we hit log. On that log was a milk snake, three feet through, And we almost cut that snake in to. Our boat was old and it smashed the bow. But the snake stuck fast, don't know how. The milk ran out of that snake, down into the boat, Until we had as big a load as we could tote. Then we gave her more steam, and kept close to shore, As it was getting rough, and the waves did roar. When we got to the 4. P. A. can nery. where we make a turn, It was so rough that we began to churn, And when we got into town, down in the hold, Was six tons of butter, which we got out and sold, And we divided thsgmoney, and that after noon, We drank it all up, at the Whale Saloon.

TROY ANNOUNCES SELECTION TERRITORIAL PLANNING B0ARI
Continued from Page one)

"The primary objective of the Planning Board is to work for a planned development of the terri tory's resources. IL is expected 70 take the leadership among the terri torial agencies and the local federal agencies in studying the resources and outlining comprehensive pre- gram for their use and perpetuatiJn.
 II will present these plans. through the Governor to the terri torial legislature and to the proper Congressional committees and de partment heads in Washington. D. C. and provide factual data in support of proposed laws. regulations and public funds necessary to accomplish the things provided for in the plans.
 Well Rounded Program
 Alaska development should be viewed as a whole, and not as n piecemeal matter. If it's needs are to be given satisfactory consideration. We must go 10 the legislature and to Washington with a well-rounded program showing the order in which resource development projects and public work projects should be m dertaken. and the bearing and i'm portance of each project on the de velopment of the territory as a whole The program must be well fortified with facts. and presented to the proper authorities by men having specialized knowledge of our resources and public works needs.
 Tt is a difficult and longtime undertaking but the proper devei- opment of the important resources of the territory are well worth the effort; in addition. most of tne states are now using the planning method of attacking their develop ment problems and of trying to ob- tain public assistance in doing the things that will make their local- ties better places in which to live, and. if we hope to share in these good things. we cannot do better than adopt the methods they are following"
