Branch of New Territorial Ser vice to be Established Nome,
 Fairbanks Other Places

Authoritative announcement that an office of the Alaska Ter ritorial Employment Service will be opened in Fairbanks soon has been received by R. E. Sheldon, president of the Chamber of Com merce, in a letter from Joseph T. FIakne, director of the service, states the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 The question of finding quarters here for the local office is being inquired into by MT. Sheldon, who is conferring with the city and other officials. The letter from MT. Flakne, former Fair banksan, follows:
 The Alaska Territorial Employ ment Service intends to open an office in Fairbanks early this spring.
 This setup will be a part of the National Employment Service conducted by the United States Department of Labor, and will undoubtedly be great help to all Alaska and Alaskans since it is centralized labor exchange where employers can, without expense to themselves, find the persons needed to fill employ ment vacancies; likewise, the un- employed will receive help in finding employment. On January l, l939 we will through our off, ces, make the benefit payments for the Unemployment Compen- sation Commission.
 This type of service has been conducted in several States for a number of years and is now car ried on by every State of the Un- ion and the Territories and has

The possibility that the twins may

There are, however. not more

"and none of these has been proved
definitely"
Bundesen said both men were

insisted on visiting them at the

Shortly after the babies were

He said both men said they wish
