SALMON FESTIVAL SEPT. 20 THROUGH 28

Plans for the New Pack Sal mon Festival to be celebrated in grocery stores from coast to coast to welcome the arrival of the 1940 Alaska salmon pack are now complete, according to an an nouncement from the Canned Sal mon Industry advertising office.
 The Festival will start on Sep tember 20 and continue through September 28. These dates over lap National Fish Week, sponsor ed on behalf of all sea food pro- ducts by the Fishery Advisory Committee of the U. s. Depart ment of the Interior.

Gov. Leaves Nome Make First Flight To New Zealand

Weaver. The plane flew northWard over the Kougarok section circling over various mining camps in that area and then headed westward, first sighting the Arctic Ocean just north of Wales, the western most point on the North Ameri- can continent. AS the plane flew further westward the party could readily see East Cape, Siberia, and both Little Diomede and Big Diomede islands. Flying along the International Date Line and circling over Little Diomede Is land an excellent view was ob- tained of Big Diamede which is Russian possession. Contrary to many reports that have been cir culated it is now definitely estab lished that there is no construc- tion work of any kind going on atop that island. On the return to Nome the plane flew over the various towns and mining camps along the coast.
 A public reception took place in the school gymnausium Satur day night at which Mr. Howard Lyng was chairman. Judge J. H. s. Morrison presented a prelimin- ary address which was most en- thusiastically received. Senator O. D. Cochran who is not only the President of the Territorial Chamber of Commerce but is our first regent of the University of Alaska, made a short talk, after which the chairman introduced the Honorable Ernest Gruening, Governor of Alaska, who gave the Nome public an address which contained much food for thought.
 Space does not permit the pub fishing in full of Gov. Gruening's hour-long address, in which he gave to the people of Nome a complete and profound exposi- tion of Federal and Territorial re lationships, problems of govern ment, and a plea for the contin- uation of our American plan of living.
 A few excerpts from Gov. Gruening's inspiring speech fol- low:
 Alaska began with the finding of gold, litle more than forty years ago. It was dominated large ly by transients, but a good many of them stayed and now there is a new group of Alaskan born-to whom Alaska is home.

Democracy an Experiment

Democracy was an eXperi- ment, and still is an experiment, and always will be an experi- ment, but one that must go on. It is the duty of each genera ton to keep it going Democracy is first of all challenged from without That is evident by our activities in Alaska, and the news in the papers and on the radio. That aspect deals with defense. In Alaska we are geographically remote from the scene of im- mediate conflict. l wish I could impress upon you of how serious and how tragicaily everything consider important may be im- periled. We have had wars be- fore; we have fought for our prin ciples and beliefs. You can not lose this war and survive with anything worth surviving for Freedom of worship, freedom of thought, liberty of conscience, are the most precious possessions human being can have. And that is what the dictators are de- termined to destroy. Our great task here is to make democracy work. You only get out of a democracy what you put into it. It is a responsibility. It is a re- sponsibility that was entrusted to us.
 q have a strong conviction that in a democracy, public serv- ice is important. am trying to help the people of Alaska help themselves. One of the most i'm portant things in the present pro gram is a great big modern air port here at Nome for our west ernmost outpost, and a flying unit, a National Guard Flying Squadron composed of Alaska Flyers who are the best flyers anywhere in the world.

Supply of Vitamin B
Is Important to Health

Some of the aches and pains
which have been chasing themselves
up and down the physical frame
work of human beings for many
years might disappear if people paid
more attention to the amount of
vitamin B they are getting.
To be more specific, it's really
vitamin Bone, called thiamin,
which is causing so much discus
sion in nutrition circles these days,
says Miss Julia Clubhouse, profess
sor of nutrition, at the University Of
Illinois. This Understanding sub
stance is found most prominently in
whole-grain cereals, so it might be-
hoove more people to see that they
have whole wheat bread, or oatmeal,
or graham mullins for breakfast.
Vegetables and fruit contribute
somewhat to the vitamin Bone sup
ply, as do nuts and legumes and
pork.
While eating vitamin Bone in gen.
erouS amounts does not absolutely
guarantee that ones Individual all
ment will disappear, still physicians
have proved that certain types of
neuritis are due to lack of the sub
stance. Two examples are the neu-
rltis of pregnancy and the neuritis
of chronic alcoholism. Pains and
numbness accompanying several
diseases have been dramatically re-
lieved within few days by this
Bone. Furthermore, doctors be-
lieve that the pain, numbness and
muscle weakness which accompany
many diseases are merely variations
with one cauSe-lack of thiamin.
All physical difficulties, of course,
cannot be attributed to one specific
source, but it might be good idea
for people who feel "all dragged
OUT and incapable of a full days
work to see if they haven't been get
ting a little too little of vitamin
Bone, says the nutrition authority.
Thiamin-defcient persons often
are the victims of such digestive
disturbances as ulcers, constipation,
loss of tone of the digestive tract
and lack of appetite. Authorities,
also, are finding that there seems
to be close relationship between
lack of thiamin in the diet and the
ailment edema, and also between
lack of thiamin and heart disease.

Well Trained Wolf Dogs
Assist Jugoslavia Police

Ferocious but well-trained dogs
make efficient criminal catchers on
the regular police force of Jugo-
slavia. Mostly Alsatian wolf dogs,
although other breeds are also used,
these animals are taught TO give
instant obedience to a word from
their trainers.
Never barking except on order,
retaining their poise in emergency,
the Jugoslav police dogs are espe-
cially drilled in tracking down fugi-
tives by scent, in high jumping, and
in keeping out of the way of I'M
expected shots. They are as gentle
as kittens to their masters and their
friends, but sudden death in attack
on an enemy. In one police mu-
scum of Jugoslavia are dramatic
souvenirs of criminal hunts in
which the police dogs played leading
roles.
Such trophies include masks used
by bandits, arms, and other OBJ
jects remindful of the exhibit on
display in the Washington, D. c.,
headquarters of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, and dramatizing
the exploits of the Omen" against
American gangsters, according to
the National Geographic society.

Weather May influence Asthma

The popular belief that weather
affects the severity of asthma has
recently received experimental con-
firmation by studies on laboratory
animals, according to the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
Symptoms identical with those of
human asthma were produced in
guinea pigs by allowing the animals
to breathe "vaporized antigens," i.
e. invisible sprays of foreign pro-
TENS. The animals were then sub
jected to various artificially pro-
duced weather conditions. Although
it was found that the "vapor"
asthma is not dependent on such
factors as temperature, humidity
or atmospheric pressure as long as
these remain constant on the day
Of the experiment, rapid changes in
the weather conditions resulted in
increasing the average severity of
the process by about so per cent.

COlOr-Changing Amphibian

The ohm, or proteus, is blind,
water-breathing tailed amphibian
living in the limestone caves east
of the Adriatic sea. If caught and
exposed to white light, its skin is
blackened, even over the eyes. But
if kept in red light, no blackening
of its skin occurs and the eyes be-
come large and able to see. The
ohm, like the Mexican axolotl, is
what scientists call a larval crea-
ture-the forgotten" man of the
animal kingdom. Amphibians, like
frogs, have an intermediate stage
of development before taking on
their adult form. The frog, explains
the Better Vision Institute. is first
egg, then tadpole. and finally frog.
The ohm never got beyond the sec
ond, or larval, stage.
