Cost of Living In Norway

The cost of living increased 16.9 percent during 1940 in Nazi- controlled Norway, according to report from the Statistical Blu reau of the Oslo municipality. Even this figure, however, is not indicative of the truz price level as the tabulations are based on products @nd commodities which are generally available in the open markets, while items which can only be obtain=d thru boot
 3gging al fabulous prices have not been included. The vast sup plies which the Norwegian Gov ernment laid in before the war, are rapidly being drained and in many cases exhausted without being replaced; and items that can be replaced usually appear at drastically increased prices.

Alaska's First Military Highway 8

The million dollars asked of Congress recently by President Roosevelt to build a highway to connect the Anchorage Army base with the Richardson High way means the project is for mili tary purposes. It will be the first modern roadway constructed in Alaska for such purposes, and has been strongly recommended by General s. B. Buckner, head of all Alaska military units.
 The sum of $1,500,000, the Presi dent said, will ba necessary to complete the new highway It will be 145 miles long. doubtless the road will be built according to military specifications and re uuirements, much better plsce of work than the Richardson Highway.
 The object is to give connec- tions with the Fairbanks army base and Valdez and all interior points served by the Richardson Highway.
 It may be expected that heavy army tanks, trucks, ordnance ana all such will traverse the entire system at frequent intervals Tn peace time and time of possible hostilities.
 Such bsing the case it cannot be deemed sufficient that the Richardson Highway remain in it's present~condition, with it's comparatively narrow width, nu- merous weak spots and should CTS. old and weakened bridges and only a ferry to span the Tan ana River at Big Delta.
 To put the entire highway sys- tenn in condition for military pur poses, an adequate appropriation should also now be forthcoming, and at no distant date, but inn mediately. What good is chain or system of links with a part of them far below par2
 The Army knows what it wants and doubtless will have much to say in the matter. It will be no surprise if the Army be entrust- ed to the building of the new roadway from the Anchorage area, and perhaps also the rehab- ilitation and maint nance of the Richardson Highway.
 In contemplating a modern highway system as indicated, it is necessary to look well ahead, to get all the materials required for bridges, to prepare for kc-ping the system open at all seasons of the year This implies doing away at an early date with the small crude ferry at Big Delta-a mis- erable excuse for military purpos es.
 The sum asked is a good start CT. May the good work be carried on 10 completion with all possible speed. The improvement must come, so why not at the earli.5t possible date.

Fire Department Addition

Councilman Kelsey brought up the old question of competent storage of Fire department equip ment and stated that while he was chairman on the Fire Committee two years ago he had asked for an appropriation to enlarge the Fire Department to the extent of an addition largs enough to con- veniently store the "cat" and win ter apparatus. He stated the pos abilities of mechanical failure in the two pieces of motorized equip ment could not be ignored any longer, and some way must be devised for storing the equip ment so each piece could leave the building with no danger of blocking the frse passage of the other piece. Kelsey stated that the Council at that time consid- cred the addition vital but that it should be built in another year, as it was not possible at that time. Kelsey asked this Council to reconsider this old question and he would prepare plans and an estimated cost of the proposed addition and if pos sible present them at the next meeting, March 10. This proposal was favorably received and Coun cilman Anderson stated he also believed this to be necessary for more efficient functioning of the Fire Department. The meeting then adjourned, to meet again at the City Hall, Monday evening, March 10 at 8 pm.

Dog Question Discussed

During open discussion opened by Maloney, the question of con trolling loose dogs was discussed lengthily and several proposals were v-ntured. Among the pro- posa's discussed was the possib ili.y of making arrangements to have a section of the city, where there are no houses, used as a community kenn-l or pound and everybody owning dogs to keep their animals in these kennels and not tie them in their back yards.
 All members present w-re ag- reed that it was not the pet dogs which were a menace but the work dogs or the dogs tied up in groups or the stray, oWnerless 5ogs which caused the most trouble and became public nui- saaces and were a menace to our citizens and children.
 Another proposal was the reg is, ring of all dogs, and dogs not registered declared a public hui sance and to be disposed of. IL is believed that all owners of dogs are natural dog lovers and would be willing to cooperate with tn authorities and keep the many loose dogs now running the streets of Nome under some con tr3I Many instances were cited where dogs had taken advantage of their natural ferocity and r. verted to ancestral savagery in either attacking or menacing children. All members were az reed that now is the time to get this condition under control be- fore any more tragedies occur. The Mayor appointed the Police Committee, Anderson and Nal oney, to volve some set of regu- lations concerning this situation. Public Health Service
 Councilman Kelsey opened the Public Health Service discussion  and the Council diligently went over every phase of the. Service and were all agreed that Nome should widen the scope of the Public Health Service. Council men OLaary and GiVan serious ly discussed several theoretical questions and Mayor Miller re- ferred to them, investigation of any possibility of improvement in the service and asked for a report at the next meeting.

The victory of our Union in the
Frigidaire Ordnance Plant election
must be recognized not only as a
request on the part of the men
and women employed there, for a
fairer wage payment plan, i'm
proved conditions and collective
bargaining. 1t also represents their
deep desire to do their share for
national defense. To fulfill that
desire requires the establishment
of good labor relations, the IRON
ing out of production kinks, the
replacement of inefficient super
vision and executives wherever
necessary, and the creation of
better understanding between en-
ployees and supervision through
the adjustment of grievances
whenever, and wherever they may
exist. That is the key to efficient
operation of this arsenal for the
defense of democracy. Seventy
three percent of the plants
workers have so expressed them
selves. The rest are already join
ing with them.
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank our Stewards and
Officers who made the banquet
in honor of General President
Fitzgerald, and General Secretary
Treasurer Emspak, the uccess
that it was. Both of these officers
were keenly impressed by the
fine reception they received, and
remarked about the hospitality
and friendliness of our members
in Dayton. We are looking forward
to having them back again, for a
large city-wide meeting, when our
entire membership can hear them
speak.

8O4 board
porIeys on
meetings

At the last Executive Board
meeting of Leland Local SO4, ii
was decided that something should
be done about holding all of the
Negotiating Committee meetings
after working hours, as the COM
mittee was required to spend too
much unnecessary time in fruit
less conference with the manage
ment.
A proposal to hold all committee
meetings on company time was
presented to the management,
which was very emphatically
turned down. Arbitration was
finally resorted to, with the COM
pany lawyer representing the
management, and Brother Garfield
representing Local 8O4. The man.
agement retaliated with the coun-
ter-proposal that all committee
meetings be held from 800 to 400
p. m, the company paying for the
time from 800 to $3.50 p. m. and
the Union paying the time from
$3.50 to 400 p. m, with emergency
meetings to be held when needed.
This proposal was presented to the
Union membership at the last
business meeting and it met with
verbal appreciation, as this set-up
may assure Local 804 of prompter
action in their regular committee
meetings.
The Executive Board has also
decided to take action in secur-
ing a permanent place for the
LEGO Credit Union office, in order
to handle the increased volume of
work and larger membership.
