THE NEED IS FOR A LONGTIME
 ALASKA PLAN

It is unfortunate for the Territory that the Alaska plan is to be drawn up in Washington, D o. by Fed eral agencies without complete consultation with AL aska interests True according to the present setup as announced yesterday by Regional Forester B. F. Heintzleman, Chairman of the Alaska Planning Coun- ci Federal department heads in Alaska will be asked to submit suggestions and the Planning Council itself will have opportunity to make recommendations but the actual material for submission Congress by the President is to be drawn up in Washington with the result that it will be impossible in the short time maining before the first of the year when the plan is to be submitted get adequate suggestions from Alaskans.
 As Delegate Dmond and members of the Planning Council stressed to the National Resources ConlE1ee any worthwhile plan for the development os 4zzskA should be drawn up in Alaska where Alassa-4s VI Q have knowledge of the Territory would have ample opportunity for hearing The mining and en- gneers in the Territory who conversant with that industry the logical men to give recommendations as to vhet can best further development of the in dstry The same is true of every other activity Our Territorial officials equipped with sound data on Alaska and its needs and surely they should be con- suited just as much the Federal officials. Aerial transportation is of the points stressed in Alaska development Who better qualified to furnish that information than the members of the Alaska Aeronau tics and Communication Commission who already have 6 program along that line? Yet it is the Federal agencies in Washington, D. C., who propose to draw

 It is a time to finish what has been begun. Business deals should be completed while this configura- tion prevails. Both men and wo- men should benefit. In the early morning hours whatever is constructive should be pushed. Great need of haste in en- gineering and building projects is discerned by the seers.
 Prices of many materials used by contractors will rise, and demand for iron, steel and lumber will be widespread.
 Conservation projects should be consistently undertaken and pro- tective methods of many sorts should be employed as the autumn advances. Weather of unusual se- verity is prognosticated through the winter.
 Again floods will do great dam age after dust storms have dis couraged dwellers in midwestern states. The wise will avoid all pos sible property risks.

Rare Asia Duck Taken by Collins In Pribilofs

A pair of rare falcated teal ducks from Asia have been sent to the Alaska Game Commission office here by Warden Grenold Collins after being taken on St. Lawrence Island. It is the second time this particular specie of duck has ever been found in Alaska, according to Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Commission. Prior to 1920 one such duck was taken in the Pribolof Islands. The ducks, a male and female, are being sent to the Biological Survey headquarters to add to the exhibit of rare birds found in the Territory
 The falcated duck is found only in Asia where they are becoming rare, Dufresne said, and doubtless this pair has migrated virtually across the Boring Sea to the Prib- ilofS. A
 They are nearly as large as a widgeon, the males head is almost white and both have sickle-shaped feathers on the back In other ways they resemble the green-wing- ed teal

lup plan for sound Alaska development n~ss, We do not know just how many States have drawn up development plans. It is sizeable number and we feel safe to venture that each and every of those States plans prepared in the respective States by in those States who were conversant with their problems. Naturally and logically, they should be- Then why should not a plan for Alaska development be drawn up in the Territory by men who know Alaska?
 Of course it should be Every Alaskan knows it. Doubtless a great many of the Federal officials in Washington know it. but the false old theory which has prevailed for years in Washington that Alaska is for the sole benefit of bureaucrats in Washington to try out their ideas continues.
 But Alaska interests not going to fold up and say whats the use" They are going to continue to battle for Alaska recognition until they get it. They they friend in the White House, the first time in a great many years, who is ready to
 listen to the Alaska plea. They have cooperative attitude from the head of the Interior Department and the Director of Territories, working whole heartedly with Gov. John w Troy, whose consistent campaign for the development of the Territory through the years has never wavered They have Delegate Dimond always going down the line for the Alaska cause and getting results than any Delegate the Territory has had in years And they have the AL aska Planning Council made up of appointed by the Governor who are determined to that the Territory is advanced along sound lines.
 Whatever plan is drawn up in Washington in the short time remaining before the first of the year will be at best but nasty affair. genuine Alaska plan to be of any value must be along the 10-year plan suggested by Delegate Dimond. A plan to hand out money to Federal agencies to spend in Alaska in per fecng their scheme of things is going to develop the Territory, but rather it will tend to hamper pri- vae enterprise. Therefore. the Alaska Planning Coun c has real job before it-drawing up constructive plans for the long time development of the Territory and getting favorable action them by Congress

Unfortunate ly, however, no method has yet been developed by which children may be immunized against poliomyelitis as they can be against smallpox by vaccination and against diphtheria by use of toxoid. The greatest hope now held out is through develop ment of a nasal spray Successfully used on monkeys), but the spray should be administered only upon consultation with physician.
 Isolation
 When a child becomes Ill with symptoms of any kind, there are three things that should be done, the department said. There are the following: l. Isolate the child from other children to prevent spread of infection in case it proves to be an infectious disease. 3. Put the child to bed immediately and keep him quiet, since rest aids recovery while exercise often tends to make the illness worse, especially in case of beginning poliomyelitis. 3. Call 0 doctor at once in order to have skilled advice on diagnosis and methods of treatment.
