 FEDERAL AID
President AIIots S47,236 in Defense Funds for
 Alaska Education

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 = Int Federal Works Administration an nounced today tn at President Roosevelt has approved an allot- ment of $47,236 in defense public works funds to be made available to the Alaska Territorial Board ol Education for maintenance anc operation of schools.
 An application for Federal funds recently submitted by Territorial Commissioner of Education James Ryan asked for a total of $93, ,508 for maintenance and operation of schools in areas affected by the defense program.
 The money allotted today will be spent in sections where increased populations due to defense work has placed burden on school operation not foreseen last spring when the Territorial Legislature budgeted school money, it is understood Schools where defense work has re- quired additional housing and teach ing problems are at Anchorage, Dutch Harbor. Fairbanks, Ketcbi- kan, Kodiak, Nome, Sitka, Unalaska and Yakutat.

cn their patrol beats. As soon as all men are at their stations, the district sergeant will call central at the telephone office and report everything in readiness in his dis trict. When all 32 districts have reported in, the siren at the mine will again sound to signal the end of the drill, Metcalf said.
 City fire and police departments will also cooperate in the defense drill, it is understood, acting under special orders O. the department chiefs.
 Principal purpose of the guard is to organize a defense against sabo- tage from within the city during times of war, Metcalf explained. Following this first practice drill, the Juneau minute-men will prob ably be called out for several more, unannounced, drills, it is under stood. Metcalf seeks accurate in- formation as to just how long it will take in case of an emergency to place the 150 civic guardsmen in the field.

MILLION BRITISH AWAIT BATTLE ORDER
Mine Siren 10 Signal
 First Drill of Civic
 Guard Here Tonight

The Alaska Juneau mine siren will shrill its loudest blast into the crisp night air about 6:45 o'clock tonight and approximately 150 Juneau men will hurry to patrol stations in the first practice ses- sion of the Civic Defense Guard, it was announced this morning by Frank Metcalf, in charge of the Juneau defense activity.
 The mine siren is being used as a signal for the beginning of the defense drill, rather than the old fire bell as previously announced because it can be more plainly heard throughout the city, Metcalf said. Tn later drills, the city fire horn may be used, it is understood, after a mechanism is arranged to sound the horn without disturbing the coded arrangement which signals fire calls automatically.
