Alaska Shares
 Ten Billion More

Then billion dollars more ask ed of Congress by President Roosevelt is sure to go booming through. It's needed in many p'aces-on the many fronts and to step production up to the maximum.
 Alaska, as one of the most strategic outposts, is sure to share in no small way. The Sen ate appropriations committee re- commended $7,792,O0O for CAA purposes, of which S6,500,000 is for Alaska projects. More fields and improvement of existing fields are needed. The projected new field at Fairbanks, to be un- der federal control, is one of the many.
 Other allotments for Alaska may be expected. to complete de lenses and provide equipment, highfays, communications and the like.
 Alaskans now keenly realize the necessity of adequate net works of highway, aviation, com munications and other services for the entire Interior and com plete coastal defense units on and off shore.
 We of the Interior see the need of as many inland transport routes as possible, and necessity of keeping them open summer and winter, so that we will not be marooned should one route be blocked. Roads and bridges are imperative. Mobile defense units and essential supplies can not move without them.
 Alaska is contributing splend- idly to the national cause and is entitled to and doubtless will share the federal allotments in like degree.
 With every component factor alert to the situation, there's no doubt of results. Now for coop aration all along the line A clear cut program with team work is the only way to security.

ONE RUNWAY READY

Not all the job of grading and graveling and paving runWays could be completed during the wet summer. In fact, this phase of the project is furthest from completion but it is significant that the first work done at all the stations was to provide a tenn porary landing strip.
 Today all the stations have at least one graded and graveled runway and p enty of excellent auxiliary landing space on the roller-packed snow. This year, for the first time in the history of Canadian aviation, planes are able to travel all the way from the United States border to the Yukon with wheeled landing gear instead of pontoons.
 The powerhouses and beam stations at all airports are vir- tually completed. The construc- tion crews are now comfortably housed and face another bitter winter cheerfully. Winter means only one thing to them-frozen ground that makes good going for the tractors and eases the work. Barracks and houses for the permanent airport staff, and operations buildings, are almost ready for occupancy and could be occupied in an emergency as they are.
 The main line of the skyways is virtually a direct line from Edmonton to Whitehorse but branch routes lead to Smithers, l50 miles inland from Prince Ru pert, and to Prince George in the interior of British Columbia, where there are already installa tions capable of landing military planes of all types.
 These auxiliary ports, with the American stations in Alaska, pro vide a complete network for the aerial defense of the coast from polar water to Seattle. The joint defense board looked over this route in 1940 and they decided it was a good one. Private inter ests south of the border offered to put in the necessary fields and radio stations. There were un- official suggestions that inasmuch as the route was of advantage chiefly to the United States, the American government would be willing to advance the money for the construction.
 In face of all that, the Cana adians decided to do all the work and pay all the bills themselves.
 Yes, Marjorie. there is a Santa Claus.

TRANSITION

All of this has a reminiscent sound and when you listen to the engineers at Lethbridge or Edmonton you get the idead that the project is just about the same as any reasonably good minor league airWays system in the States. After awhile, however, you get out from the shadow of the statistics and after that the resemblance doesn't seem so close
 The transition from the famil- jar to the unfamiliar is not too abrupt. Edmonton, of course, is a modern city and the govern ment airfeld there is one of the biggest on the continent. Grande Prairie offers nothing in the way of novelty inasmuch as it is a typical western plains town on a railroad.
 But at Fort St. John, an old Hudson bay trading post, 532 miles from Edmonton and 60 miles north of the railhead at Dawson Creek, you begin to get a small idea of what it means to biuld even so elemental thing as a flat place in a roadless wild erness.
 Trucking solved the problem at Fort St. John but not the sort of trucking you'd see anywhere else. The route from Dawson creek to this windy meadow was i through 60-mile stretch of rich and gluey gumbo, which has few equals in North America. During the winter it was a trail of axle breaking roughness. With the heavy rains of an unprecedent- ed summer, it became a bog which the frosts of November have barely crusted oyer. A visit or, who saw trucks stalled in the mud on a downhill pull, hesi- tated to think of what the trans poration costs are going to add

BY SEA TO WRANGELL

oLEh Ao hNAANoELL
 And that was only the begin ming. Two hundred and fifty mil es north lay Fort Nelson. A -Wierd tran of Caterpillar trac- tors and sledded cabooses and trucks and road machinery smashed their way, by dead reck on.ng, through forest and brush tangled marchlands to this inn probable spot and set up a camp for 100 Workmen.
 Three hundred miles farther on, at Watson lake, another group of hardy explorers follow ed supplies from Vancouver to Wrangell, Alaska, by sea and thence, by devious river routes, to point 30 miles from the pro- posed landing field. They chop ped a road through the brush the rest of the way and dragged their machinery into a region that had been as inaccessible as Lhassa (TibeD and as remote from Edmonton in time of travel as Punta Arenas Gin Chile and worlds most southerly town). Startled Indians, and before them wolves and squirrels, came near to look at them.
 When you consider that none of this mass invasion of the never-never land started until last March, with an exception ally early spring near at hand and the muskeg the quaking bogland - already beginning to soften in spots between Fort St John and Fort Nelson, the pro- gress of the work to date is a firSt-class miracle.

A BIG JOB

In perhaps month all of the beam stations will be in opera ton between the United States border and the tip of Alaska. After that no brand of weather except ice-forming sleet will halt flying.
 The problem of getting electri- cal apparatus to the remote fast ness where operators and mech anicS await them is unbelievably difficult, but Canada's depart ment of transportation promises that all installations will be com pleted by January 1. Some of the equipment is being freighted in by plane, some by dog team a bizarre touch to the aviation industry. But, at any rate, it's coming in.
 In the meantime bombers are moving over the route eXpedi- tiously without any beam, thanks to radio weather reports and two way radio communication be- tween ground and plane at all airports.
 Roughly, the course of the new skyWay is northwest from Ed monton through the Peace river country to Fort St. John, thence north to Watson lake and west, with a northerly drift, over the mountains to Whitehorse. There are government fields at Edmon- ton, Grande Prairie, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Watson lake and Whitehorse, 250 to 300 miles apart, each a mile or so square. Each is equipped, or will be equipped by next summer, with two hard-surfaced runWays 4000 feet or more in length, long enpugh to accommodate the largest land planes so far produced. Each vii have a beam station, 400-watt radio transmitter, and a complete meteorological sta tion.

Allies Rallying To The Call

lea has met the cndllenSe Ol Japan and the manner in which allied nations of the democracies are rallying to her support IS fraught with deep significance.
 Japan, by treaCherously attack ing American outposts on many fronts while her diplomats de- ployed in an apparent well laid plot of deception, has aroused hornets nest. Scattering her shots in many areas, she has ef- tected nothing of military signi- ficance, but has done enough to awaken host of powerful oppon ents, who in time will make their force known.
 Japan will find she has plenty to do to cover her island king dom rather than go ranging far afield. In her own immediate area she faces powerful enemies at every point of the compass Britain's fleets and armies at Singapore and vicinity; the Am ericans on the high seas and in the Philippines, Hawaii and AL aska; the Dutch in the East Indies; the Siberians on the Man chukuo front and at VladivoS- tok; China, with her army of nearly 3,O0O,OOO; Thailand, Ma lava and lesser Far East nations.
 And last but by no means least Canada and the Latin-American nations of the Western Hemi- sphere are to be reckoned with. Do not think for a moment of the effectiveness of the pact nego- tiated two years ago at instance of Secretary of State Hull be- tween the nations of the Western World is not now proving a price less bulWark.
 The Latin-American nations may not have the numerical fighting strength of the major Allied nations, they may not have vast fleets of planes ard other modern equipment, but they do have a wealth of natur- al resources which are the basis of supply and endurance, which eventually will win the war. 
 And again, it is invaluable to America and all Allied nations have possessions in the Western Hemisphere that no one of their countries become bases of enemy nations. It requires little i'm agination to picture what would be the results of Mexico, Pan anna and any South or Central American nation were to become a haven of refuge and base ot operations for an enemy power
 Hats off to Latin-AmeriCan na- tions, standing pat and openly dc claring their loyalty under the good neighbor pact, and faithfu to their pledge in the hour o1 need. The solidarity of the Wes ern Hemisphere is no dream-anc the Axis powers soon will learr what it means.
 Japan may boast she never los a war in 2,000 years, but she hasn't licked China after foul years of rape and pillage, anC now defies a billion and a hall people in a host of nation; sworn 10 give their all in the cause of freedom and democracy The handwriting is on the wall

An Exercise

Try this exercise, If your chest
has gone back on you: stand tall,
lift the hands high above the
head, send them and the upper
portion of the body as far back
as you can, making a strong en-
d eavor not to buckle at the
knees.
Five times or 10, then stand
with hands on hips and take 10
deep inhalations. Repeat.
WOMEN WITH children who
must do a bit of laundry work
now and then, often find that
the cutcle beside the finger nails
thickens and that the flesh on
the finger tips cracks open
and sometimes bleeds. These
little abraisions can be eX-
tremely painful.
The first step is 10 change the
washing soap or powder. What
has been used contains some ele-
ment that is not agreeable to
the skin. To the open wounds
apply ointment of zinc oxide and
cover with gauZe. Do that at
night.

Farinacea is the light blue and

Saliva farinacca has another
advantage besides its pleasing

Blue bedder grows in more

Return Books

Now for the books, the first
Job is to pick out borrowed
books and return them. II some
of your books are torn the pages
can be mended with transpar-
ent tape or Scotch tape, loose
pages pasted in, and marks and
smudges removed with an eraser.
If you have fine books with
leather bindings, give them a
good going-over for chances are
that the leather has dried out
somewhat after a Winter of
steam heat or fires. If the
leather shows hard wear and is
grimy, it may be washed a small
portion at a time, with warm
water and a mild soap, or bet
ter still. with saddle soap. Then
rub we'll into the pores Of the
leather, boiled linseed oil, cot
ton-seed oil, neat's-foot oil or
lanolin.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-05-11
Another Mixture

Or use a mixture of one part
vinegar and two parts of lin
seed oil. Clean a little at a
time and polish with a silk rag.
Use these on black or very dark
bindings, since the applications
tend to darken the leather.
For really fine bindings, use
lanolin, which is the preference
Of librarians. IT can be pur-
chased in paste form and lique-
fled at low heat.
1t should be applied very
thinly and polished off the next
day to remove any excess of oil.
Take precautions not to smear
the bindings or TO soil the pages,
and do not use much oil or else
it is bound to run and cause
damage.

Queries

I'm cutting tulips, is it true
that the leaves should be left
on the plant?
A-Never cut the leaves on
plants produced from bulbs. The
sap from these leaves flows back,
as the leaves wither. to form
the new bulb. DetrOying the
leaves prevents new bulbs from
forming and the plant will die.
Q-What fertilizer shall I use

Ammonium sulphate Is
cheap and one of the best. Sheep
manure or any prepared fer
tilizer may be used with excel

DIGIT about now, in the
~ Spring cleaning time, it's a
good idea TO 60 over book
shelves and take stock of the
family library. First, all books
should be removed and the
shelves should be washed with
special soap paint.
If edge lighting is TO be in
stalled, now is the logical time
to do it. If repainting job is
indicated. get at it. Or perhaps
the shelves need a coat of trans
