 ALASKA SCHOOL
 I5 OUTSTANDING
Picture of Skagway Build ing IneIuded in New
 Federal Volume

The SkagWay school, designed and it's construction supervised by N. Lester Troast and Associates of Ju- neau, is pictured and described in a new 666-page Government publi- cation entitled Public Buildings" "
 Of the 660 buildings pictured in the volume, which is "a survey of the architecture of projects con structed by Federal and other Gov ernmental bodies between 1883 and l939, the Skagway school is the only privately designed Alaska pro- ject to be included Pictures Of lighthouses at Tree Point and Five Finger are included but they were built by the Lighthouse Service it. self
 The 660 projects pictured were se- lected from 26,000 which have been built with the help of WPA funds in the six year period.
 Tn the projects selected for this publication, the authors state, i've have attempted to show some of the best examples of the different types of buildings and other structures which are the most interesting from an architectural and engineering viewpoint. Size and cost have not been criterions in choosing these examples. The smallest sewage-dis- posal plant is given equal standing with the greatest power projects, and many very expensive buildings have been omitted altogether as having little or no architectural va1i1pn

PROVING YOUR AGE I5 OFTEN DIFFICULT, ALWAYS NECESSARY

Bag a ss
 Documentary evidence of per- sons age. ranging from birth certificate to "a license to drive an automobile, is going to have in- creasing importance as the Federal Governments old-age and survivors insurance program develops, accord ing to Hugh J. Wade, Director of the Social Security Boards office at Ju- neau.
 Wade explained that the Govern ment will insist upon the proof of ones declaration of age before in- surance payments are made. The law provides that monthly payments may be made to workers who have reached the age of 65 if they quail ify, but it will accept no loose statements as to age.
 Similarly, the age of workers wife or widow or of his children must be proved before they can receive any of the supplementary benefits provided under the revised Social Security Act.
 A claimant will be given every opportunity to supply the required proof. As a matter of fact, birth certificates of persons now 65 years old or more are comparatively scarce. In only eight States and the District of Columbia had the practice of keeping birth certifi- cates been adopted before 1874. The keeping of birth records in Alaska was begun in 1913
 Wade expressed that in the event an applicant is unable to produce birth certificate or a church rec ord, such as the baptismal record, he may submit the statements of the doctor or midwife with personal knowledge of his birth. But recog- nizing that this type of evidence would, in most cases, be as ur1avail- able to man of 65 as birth cer- tificate or a baptismal record, the Boards representative will suggest that he turn to the old family Bi- ble. He may find tthere, inscribed on one of those ornately ehscrolled pages designed for the recording of family records, the date and place of his birth. G.....
 If, however, it becomes evident the claimant cannot produce a birth certificate. church record or siIni- lar doument, he may submit the statements of two other persons who have personal knowledge that he ! was born on a certain date, but since such persons will be. even older than the claimant, the obtaining of this evidence is admittedly diff. cult. If it cannot be produced, the Board will open the way to the presentation of miscellaneous lot of evidence, which, when, viewed as a whole, may be regarded as, suf- ficient. This type of evidence will include public documents. of, vary ing nature, such as a mans army discharge. school records, or mar riage certificates.
