MANY VISIT WPA
PROJECTS IN CITY
Writer'S And Handicraft Jobs
Among Those Open To
Public This Week

Crowds continued yesterday to
visit WPA professional and service
projects throughout the county as
that agency continued its ''open
house observance.
The hours are 9 am. to 5 pm.
and the public is invited.
Some of the projects open for in
spection r as follows:
WPA writer's project. The North
Carolina writer's project is spon-
sored by a state agency and must
have a certain percentage of its
costs covered by state or local con-
tributions. The main purposes of
the project are to provide work
for unemployed professional and
clerical men and women, particu-
larly writer's, editors, journalists,
historians, and research workers;
to formulate information of cul,
tural importance; to overcome the
prohibitive difficulties encountered
by individuals in undertaking work
OF such scope; and to give the
workers a training that will enable
them to improve their chances for
employment and promotion outside
the WPA. Work completed a n d
published includes: North Caro-
lima: A Guide to the Old North
state"; "Charlotte: A Guide to the
Queen City,; and These are Our
Lives.' Many other volumes have
been completed and published and
many are awaiting publication.
WPA handicraft project. The
New Hanover county unit of the
handicraft project employs 20 peo-
pie who are engaged in the produc.
ton of light furniture, household
articles, and similar equipment,
for distribution to needy families
by public relief agencies. Articles
are also made for use in public
schools and unsupported institu.
tons, such as county homes and
hospitals. Materials for these prof.
ects are furnished by the various
agencies which receive them. This
Wilmington craft shop is super.
vised by j. R. Brown. About LOCO
pieces have been made during the
past year, including nursery euip.
ment, toys, chairs, hospital furni.
ture, office furniture and equip.
ment for other WPA projects. The
Woodshop opened in May, 1889.

SELECTIVE. DEMAND
IS FELT BY BONDS
Buyers Attracted To Specula'
tive Rated Loans By News
Of French Gains

NEW YORK, May 22-R-Llvely
but selective demand developed to-
day in a bond market virtually
stripped of the war hysterla W.h
which recent sessions have been
tinged.
Buyers were especially attracted
to the more speculative rated loans
by news of French successes on
several fronts. Higher priced liens
had more difficulty getting ahead
and most of these closed with small
losses.
Issues of Germany and German
occupied areas moved briskly for
ward at the start but some turned
back and were headed down at the
close. German Is off '49 closed 3-8
lower at 10 and Copenhagen SIS lost
l 3-8 at 10 So.
Still higher, however, were Ger
man S LIS Of IS and Belgium 6 LIS
of '49, the latter up 5 to As on a few
sales.
Allied bonds were vulnerable to
small offerings. Brisbane IS of ST,
for instance, plunged 8 points to 40.
U. S. governments closed with
losses of a. much as IL point in the
majority.
Marked up an outside of 3 points
in the corporate list were Southern
Railway Is at As, Nickel Plate 5
lbs at 48 IL and 4 LIS at al 10,
North Western 4 3-4s of 40 at l Sc
and International Hydro Electric
IS at A.
Trimmed a notch were Interna-
tional Paper SIS, Santa Fe 4s of '95,
Montana Power 3 3-4s and Rem
ington Rand 4 Ids.
Turnover slackened to So, STA, $50,

QUEER ALASKAN FISH SURVIVE
 FROZEN IN ICE

one of the strangest fish in the
 world is the little tundra country "blackfish" which is found in the
 Interior of Alaska and has the strange faculty of being able to live indefinitely in a frozen state.
 Executive Officer Frank Du- fresne of the Alaska Game Con- mission, recalls having taken sev- eral of the blackfish on a three weeks dog team trip on the lower Yukon country in the frozen state and finding them very much alive at journeys end-even one with tail cut off
 The following clipping was taken frCm a Conservation clip-sheet of the Department of the Interior;
 Mere than Q hundred tough native of Alaska who often spend their winters frozen solid in ice ponds in the tundra country along the Yukon River, are enroute to Washington to take part in scien- tific experiments under the na- tional conservation program.
 Members of the Dallia pecto- rails family-otherwis known as Alaska blackfish - the research assistants" are declared by experts to be one of the few forms of piscatorial life which can remain in state of suspended animation, frozen in ice during the winter months only to thaw out and swim saily away with the return Of warmer weather.
 Usually hard to capture, the fish, measuring about a hand Is breadth, are expected to arrive at the aquarium of the Bureau Of Fisheries within the next few weeks, and later, some of them may be called upon to demonstrate their ability to remain alive while frozen in ice
 Some three years ago, another Siiif'iicHI ol tiit AidSka DldCkllSli was put through it's paces for the benefit of scientists. Frozen in the tray of an electric refrigerator, the fish later were thawed out in ex- periments designed to aid the study of the cold method for the treat ment of cancer. This time, possible expansion of the quick freeze pro-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-01-19

cess for the preservation of food fishes may be sought in experi- ments by the Bureau of Fisheries.
 In Alaska, blackfish have no ap- parent usefulness except as food for sled dogs. Caught through the ice in winter, the fish freeze in- stantly when brought to the sur face. The hungry dogs gulp down the frozen fish, which soon thaw in their stomachs with disconcert- ing results.

It may be Cross against the field by then and if so, he has good chance of being named.
 There is also the possibility that Dr. Crcss may insist that he have an oppor tunity to acquit himself after his defeat of 1888.

If there was any doubt about pr. Will bur l.. Gross being interested in the guber- material nomination this fall, 1t must have been dissipated by his remarks in this city last week, The former governor chose, of all places, a meeting of Yale characteristic attacks on the Republican party. His charge that it lacks leader. ship, just as 1t did in 034, may not set well in certain quarters, but the rank and file of the populaee may agree with him after witnessing the jaunts Of various eandi. dates all over the country.
 There has been much speculation about the former Democratic ehIefiain getting pack in the harness this fali. 4 good many people believe that hIs defeat two years ago had put him Into retirement for good.
