ADVANTAGE OF WESTERLY ROUTES
 FROM HAZELTON

The long proposed and planned International aiehwav from the States to Alaska via Canada seems to have become more than just matter of extending a road from Hazelton, BC. north. Instead Of one proposed route there are several There are reported to be eastery routes backed by Central Cana da and Rocky Mountain States interests. and at least two routes leading from Hazelton which are generally termed as westerly routes It is with the latter that Alaska at least this portion of it. primarily is con- cerned
 Of the two the most westerly route from Hazelton via the Mass Bell Irving and Iskut rivers would be the most advantageous route to both Americans and Canadians The next most westerly route from Hazel ton directly northward to Groundhog Mountain, via the upper portion of the Babine River. the east fork of the Mass and the Kappan Valley appears from official reports of the proposed routes to be the least expensive to construct and maintain. This latter roue would be of more value to the Dominion of Canada the United States and the Territory of Alaska than any other route which would run more eastery
 These two most westerly proposed routes would be of the greatest possible value from both an economic and military standpoint They connect navigable rivers on which transportation lines have been regu- lary established with Prince Rupert Wrangen and Juneau These routes are connected by rail with Prince Rupert and Skagway and could easily be made 70 connect with Atin Telegraph Creek, and Stewart, BIG. by road Tourist travel would be much larger if it were possible tourists to motor vehicles, river boats and coastwise steamers in making any one of several alternate route trips which would cer- tainIy be available either of these western routes are selected
 From Dominion and Territorial defense view point the proposed routes would be ot no value and the timber and mineral resources for potential development in the more western area are much greater than in eastern British Columbia or Alberta
 In view of the pressure which is being brought to bear in support of eastery routes it would seem tc be timely for Alaska civic groups other organizations as well as individuals to get solidy back of the westerly routes any material gain is to come to the Territory from the construction eventually of the International Highway.

if left for individual treatment. In the ab- sence of decisive reasons for other treatment moreover. the Committee believes that in the distribution of funds all of the various out lying areas should be treated as parts of the United States. It is therefore strongly recom- mended that the outlying areas be included
 so far feasible in all of the existing and proposed new Federal grants on the same
 basis the various States.
 The adoption of this recommendation
 would not institute an entirely policy.
 Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico now partici-
 pate in Federal aid for the and-grant colleges, for agricultural experiment. stations, for agri-
 cultural extension service and for vocational
 education. The Virgin Islands, Guam and
 American Samoa have been omitted from
 those grants They have need for services of
 the type promoted by the grants. and some
 special provision should therefore be made
 through which they will receive assistance
 in accordance with their needs.
 Tn addition to it's general recommendations fC errtories the Committee urges further assistanC Indian educa ton in Alaska and also proposes funC or adult education and rural library service Fc dult education it proposes five million dollars 939-40 of which Alaska would receive 425 an suggested graduated scale up through 1942 whe he Territorys share would be S7275.

SUPPORT GIVEN ALASKA EDUCA-
 TIONAL SYSTEM

The Advisory Committee on Education appointed by President Roosevelt in September of 1886 to make a comprehensive report education in the United States and it's possessions for the of the Executive and Congress completed it's work last month and 2 copy of its full report has just been received Under the charmanshp of Floyd W, Reeves the committed of twenty three has made thorough study of the present educational system and drafted recommenda tions for it's improvement
 While dealing primarily with the States the com mittee has not overlooked Alaska and other outlying areas and its comment and recommendations relative to them are enlightening and encouraging for Alas kans Pointing out that Alaska and Hawaii maintain systems of public education comparable in type anc quality to those in the States. the Committee. speak ing of outlying possessions. says:
 The Committee recommends that the pro- vision of suitable educational facilities for all the inhabitants of the several be en couraged. and that these facilities be organized and administered through procedures as demo- cratic as may prove feasible in the various situations. In a number of the areas there should be much more emphasis than at present upon democratic participation in the deter
 imitation of educational programs and policies, with the ultimate objective of full freedom to maintain and operate schools that serve chi- dren and adults in accordance with then individual and social needs.
 At present there is office in the Federal Government that regularly employs SpeclallstS fer the purpose of studying education in the outlying areas. of advising on educational policies with respect to those areas, and of rendering advisory services to them The facilities Of the United States Office of Edu- cation should be supplemented for these pur- poses. and should be drawn upon much more systematically than they have been in the past It is also suggested that it would prob ably be desirable to add qualified specialist
 in education to the central staff of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, who should devote bis time exclusively to the problems of those and work in CO., operation with the school administrators and with the Office of Education The committee has carefully considered the desirability of including the various areas in Federal aid to the States for educational pur- poses. It clear that the two Territories should be included in all of the proposed grants on the same basis the States. The case is not so conclusive for the other areas, but the needs are great in all of those and are very unlikely to receive suitable consideration

 Good and evil planetary aspects contend today, according to astro- logy. The tendency to destroy old faiths may be strongly evident under this configuration.

al yong Negro back, who never
played football in high school anl
had to be talked into going out
for the team II his second year,
threw two brilliant touchdown pas

Another Negro boy who did all
right for himself to put it mildly

Kenny's contribution to the defeat
