kcCarran Pledges Aid
In Effort 10 Improve
Conditions at Home
Support at CupitoI
Predicted by Senate
D. c. Committee Head

In forwarding to the Commission
ers late yesterday his suggestions
for improvement of facilities at the
Home for Aged and Infirm at Blue
Plains, pending the time when a
more modern institution may be
built, Chairman McCarran of the
Senate District Committee pledged
his cooperation in seeking to carry
out the program.
AS previously published, the pro-
gram consisted of nine specific rec
concentrations for improving the
equipment and increasing the per-
sonnel of the present institution,
coupled with a 10th suggestion that
the Commissioners report what
steps should be taken to provide
for a new home.
Meanwhile, Chairman Cannon of
the House Appropriations Committee
made known that number of gen.
eral deficiency items for Federal
agencies may be considered for in
clusion in the new lease-lend ap-
preparation bill, and pointed out that
if supplemental budget estimate for
the Home for Aged should be sub
mitted within the next week that
also could be considered. He en-
phasized, however, that he could
not say definitely it would be in
cluded in the lease-lend measure
Speed Is Consideration.
Whether a supplemental request
for improvements to the Blue Plains
institution can be prepared and put
through the Budget Bureau that
quickly was not known today. The
House Deficiency Subcommittee be-
gins work on the lease-lend measure
Tuesday.
The above suggestions, Senator
McCarran wrote, ARE made in the
spirit of a desire to be helpful to
the Commissioners in facing and
solving this problem, in the spirit
of a desire to serve the people of
the District of Columbia in Kidding
the city of such an abominable
situation, and in the spirit of the
complete accord which now exists
between the Board of Commission
ers and this committee.
II am in hearty agreement with
| your estimate of the situation and
of the conditions which you found
existing at Blue Plains, and 7 pledge
every effort to bring about cor
rection of these conditions"
The Senator's recommendations
were based on q personal inspec-
! ton of Blue Plains by r. F.
Camalier, committee counsel.

 STARTED N MEMORY OF

The memory of Charles ". Hawkesworth, widely known and respected citizen of the North who died last November 4, Is to be per petuated in a student loan fund which will be available to young A1askans regardless of religion. race or what course of study they plan to pursue, according to Keith c. Wildes, Chairman of the Hawkes. worth Student Loan Fund.
 Named by friends of the late Of flee of Indian Affairs official to ar range monument to Mr. Hawkesworth. a Committee at Ju- neau decided upon the student loan fund which is to be an educational revolving fund patterned after the successful funds of it's kind in the states. Probably it will be the first student loan fund in Alaska ab- soluteIy free Of restrictions as to what school may be attender The size of loans which can be made will depend upon the contributions made to the fund.
 Already a number of voluntary donations toward a HawkesWOrIh monument" have arrived in Juneau from all parts of Alaska. No monu- ment would please him more-or be more appropriate-the Committee felt, than a fund to assist young 4H= his life, showed such great interest.
 Donations for the fund have not been solicited, but will be accepted from tthose wishing to contribute toward such a student loan fund. They should be addressed to "Hawkesworth Student Loan Fund, First National Bank, Juneau, Alaska"

TALLY HO
WhatA ManI

The Chemistry Class is studying the metric system of measuring and while the other boys were in Peters burg, Arnt was the sole remaining chemist. He was studying the small est measurement known, the Eng strom. He found that there were 1000 Engstroms in one mu and H. 000.000 in one millimeter. hence there are 1O,000.0O0,0O0 Engstroms in one meter. q hope you can read my figures). To get the idea of how much one billion is. he was given the problem of finding how many square meters of our plaster walls it would take to hold one billion of those teeny-weeny bumps in the plaster. Don't you pity him?)
 Well, poor Arnt gets pencil and ruler, measures off one square cent meter on the wall and proceeds to count the number of bumps in that small area. After counting twice with q flood light to help him. he came to the conclusion that there were 53 bumps on that square no larger than the thickness of a slice of bread. Boy, what eyes!i
 Then he sits down with pencil and paper and starts working with his amazing sooper-human brain. won't attempt to follow his steps in that problem but in the end he came to the amazing conclusion that it would take 438 square meters to hold one billion of those fine par tieles of sand on the school wall Think of that!
 How would you like a problem like that some day? I'm afraid I'd have nite-mares for month after wards, especially after seeing the effects it left on my poor classmate.

Wrangell Hi-Lines
Barney Iverson-Editor WOLVES LOSE TO VIKINGS

Last weekend the Wrangell Wolves trooped over to Petersburg on the ARB 3 (gaptain Julius Ma som to play the Vikings on their home floor after losing two games here by to 12 point margins.
 Accompanying the boys were IS girl rooters from the Pep Club. chaperoned by Mrs Lew Williams of The Sentinel The girls chartered the boat Wesley, (Captain Jim Haryey) with the proceeds from the food sale they gave recently.
 Friday night the Wolves gave a very bad exhibition of basketball It was much the same as the first game on Kayhi's floor It seems that every time the boys play the first game on a strange floor. they lose by overwhelming odds The Wran- gell hoopsters use a tight shifting zone defense and the change from our small gym to that of Peters burg's large one was a large factor in the results of this game. Peters burg 38-WrangeIl 8.
 The next day, Saturday. P. H. S. gave a banquet at the Elks lodge in honor of the Wrangell boys. All the boys agreed that it was a very delicious dinner and the singing of the octette was a great help in pro longing the time as most of the speeches were quite short. (They usually are at a basketball ban quet.)
 This night the revenge thirsty Wolves gave the Vikings a real bat tie. Both teams checked close re- sulting in comparatively low score. The Wrangell lads were more used to the floor this second night and the zone worked quite smoothly though not quite as adequate on this larger floor Finally in the midst of the fighting the finish gun sounded ending the game with the score of Petersburg 24-Wran- gell 16.
 After the game the Wrangell boys were all given free tickets to the Presidents Ball, which everyone en- joyed very much.
 We all had a good time over there owing to the friendliness of everyone and would like to say that We have never seen a better bunch of good sports than you Vikings
