FIRE WALLS IN JUNEAU
 pR0p05ED
Concrete Barrdcddes 10 Prevent Spread of
 Fire Needed

It was fireproof, cement buiId ing which stopped the spread of the Seward fire last week, accord ing to reports, and Frank Metcalf city engineer. was emphatic in his recommendation to the city council last night that fire walls of con- crete be built in sections of down. town Juneau as protection against the spread of some future fire which might wipe out the entire business section of the city.
 From the Juneau Young hard ware store, down Franklin street to the waterfront is mass of wooden buildings, constructed so close together that if one of them caught fire and the blaze was whipped by light wind, the entire section would go, Metcalf declared
 He proposed that the city budget next year include appropriations to build fire walls alongside the s. H. Graves clothing store and at Shattuck Way, on one side of Franklin, and near the KINY stu dio cn the other side of the street.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-One of the big problems the Office of Price Administration is trying to solve now is how to educate the pubic against scare buying" and to the same time hammer home the nec- essity of conservation of certain defense materials and products that contain them.
 Scare buying is almost as old as merchandising itself. It's the old "get- while -they-last" game played with all the subtletieS of modern salesmanship. It's the raw materials producer saying to the manufacturer: T wouldn't do this for my own brother, but I can let you have ten tons and you better buy all of that because there prob ably won't be another ounce in 1922"
 It's the wholesale sal les m a II whispering to the retailer over hideaway luncheon table: Joe, you better take the who'e 10000 gross. You know there are priori- ties now and they'll hit this stuff any day-maybe tomorrow
 It's the retailer telling his cus- temers that he has been able to lay in small supply of these or those and when they are gone, there won't be any more.
