FREIGHT
 RAISE I5 / NOT HIGH
Proposed Increase Mis- stated Says Femmer of
 Alaska Trans. Co.

The reported raise in freight rates of the Alaska Transportation Company, which were to have gone into effect yesterday but sus- pended by order of the Maritime Commission pending an inyestisa- tion, were not to be from 3 to 63 percent as quoted in dispatches from Washington, according to D. B. Femmer, Juneau agent, who returned here on the Taku after a months business trip south.
 Winston J. Jones, Traffic Man ager of the Alaska Transportation Company at Seattle, pointed out to me that the freight rate in- crease of his company did not go the range of the traffic schedule" " said MT. Femmer, and none was intended The greatest raise was on furniture if packed in cartons, which is increased 59 percent. In fact, we established a rate of 20 percent under the old rate if fur niture is substantially crated. The public has no idea of the damage done to furniture in cartons, which is only cardboard crating If crat- ed in wood there is seldom any damage, therefore MT Jones in- formed me, and the schedule pro posed shows it, that reduction, not raise is made in crated fur niture. I could go up and down the freight schedule and show con- clusively that no raise of to 63 percent has been made, in fact the raise in freight rates, Seattle to Juneau, amounts to ,approxi- mately 5.6 percent
 The proposed raise is because of increased, cost of operation.
 MT Femmer stated that MT Jones has officially appointed Rex Chittick as assistant agent in Jul. neau for the Alaska Transporta- tion Company. He has been asso- ciated with MT. Femmer for years
 MT. Femmer stated that Capt. Larry Parks, one of the best known navigators coming to Alaska, Will come out as master of the Tyee which is scheduled to make the first trip of the l940 season, leav- ing Seattle tonight.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Hot weather brings its own
special problems for the cook.
Meals should be simple to prepare
and easy to digest.
Some foods actually make you
hotter. The body generates extra
heat in digesting meat and other
high protein foods. Consequently
a high meat diet is much better
suited to winter than to summer.
Most families find that meat once
a day is enough for hot weather.
An oversupply of iced drinks and
frozen desserts also increases the
heat produced. The body works
to maintain a constant tempera-
ture. When the stomach is sud
denly chilled it responds by pro-
ducing quick supply of heat.
Summer time increases the prob
lem of food spoilage. Particularly
in homes where there is no refrig-
Grafton, special care should be TAX
en- to preserve food.
If refrigeration is inadequate
milk will keep better and be safer
for small children if it is heated to
the boiling point and then cooled
in a sterile covered container.
Evaporated milk is convenient
to use in homes which do not have
refrigeration because it is sterile
and it can be opened as needed and
in the size can best suited for the
family. Opened evaporated milk
needs the same care as fresh milk
The bottle or can in which the
milk comes has been sterilized and
probably holds much fewer bac-
terra than any other container in
which you put your milk. Unless
you remove the milk from the bot
tie to boil it, it is better to leave it
in the original container until used.
Ground meat spoils much more
quickly than whole meat anGsso
should be ground just before using.

TRAIN FOR DEFENSE JOBS
Says State School Board Can Give
Courses i'm Vocational Training

Chief Deputy Atty.-Gen. Clair ].
Killoran has sent an opinion to the
Federal Security Agency, U. S.
Office of Education, in Washing
ton, advising it that Delaware,
through the State Board of Educa-
tion, is authorized to conduct
courses in vocational training in
preparation for jobs deemed es-
sential for the defense of this
country. Mr.. Killoran declared it
is his opinion that the state can
comply all respects with the fed
eral statutes in this connection.
Under the plan the state treasurer
is authorized to receive federal
funds and to disburse, as trustees,
on the requisition of the State
Board of Education, all the sums
paid to the state by the federal
government. He pointed out the
State Board of Education admins
ters vocational education in Della
ware. The opinion was requested
by DR.. H. V. Holloway, state su-
perintendent of public instruction,
after having received telegram
from ]. w. Studebaker, U. S. Com
missioner of Education, in regard
to a program for national defense
training. The federal request dealt
particularly with the authority of
the state treasurer to receive and
dispense on the order of the State
Board of Vocational Education
funds allocated to the state to car
nv out provisions of such pro-
gram. (The State Board of Edu-
cation and the State Board of Vo-
cational Education are the same
in Delaware). Under the training
program it is not necessary to con-
form to conditions of regular COL
lege courses under the national de-
fense act. Instructors are selected
for craft or job competency and
not academic record All costs
are borne by the federal govern
ment. State plans for the train
ing already have been submitted by
the State Board of Education and
have been approved by the U. S.
Commissioner of Education.
