Heavy Picking TO Start
Heavier picking in valley black
berry fields is certain. beginning
this week, according to a survey
among growers from all sections
and this will mean the employment
OF many more pickers in addition
to those already here, they say.
Reports from the Washington
State Employment offices at both
the city hall in Puyallup and the
Bus Terminal building in Sumner
state that pickers are being
placed as fast as they apply for
work.
Last week showed increasing de-
liveries to receiving platforms
throughout the valley. some for
processing and others for fresh
shipment to eastern markets. In
all cases prices are better than
for a number of years which, in
turn. has caused growers to pay
proportionately better prices for
picking.

d-Spedking Ken Griffith Beats Luisetti Record
 on Fast Break
By DICK BOYD AP Feature Service

PHILIPPI, w. Va, Feb. 21.-- Ken Griffith misses a shot and ex- claims: Holy fright"
 His Alderson Broaddus College teammates get kick out of Ken's quaint exclamation but they don't hear it often.
 Ken doesn't miss many shots. His hits" have been so consist ent, the record shows, that he holds new all-time individual scoring mark for four years of college bas- ketball.
 The old record fell recently when Ken, a forward, counted 27 points against Salem. That was seven points more than necessary to tie the record of 1896 set by Hank Luisetti of Stanford
 Kenny's mark was 1903 points, with Il games still on the Battler schedule so the six-foot two Grif- filth probably will far outdistance the California star.
 Ken, farm boy. made the Wells burg, w. Va, high school team only in his senior year, but has been a regular at Alderson Broaddus (en- rollment 200) since his freshman days.
 He scored 354, 380, and 575 points his first three years, and after the Salem game had counted 294 points in 13 games this season. He scored Al points in one game last year
 The Battlers use a fast break, placing Ken near the basket. Mark Durham, with whom Ken played in high school works as the fast break pivot man He knows without look ing where Ken will be, feeds him the ball. and bingo!
 So well has Durham carried out this role that he's known as Mark the feeder" Mark is an accurate shot himself, third high in the team scoring to date
 Ken. B" average student is q smoker, non- -drinker and holy fright" is his strongest expression.
 He has only one fault" Durham says seriously He's in love" Ken admits he will probably marry after his graduation in June. He met Helen Shaffer at Alderson Broad dus, She was graduated last year and now teaches music in small Ohio high school.
 Meantime, Kenny is pointing for his diploma. with majors in physi- Cal education and business admin istration
 There has been one attractive of fer to play professional basketball, but Kenny said he has not decided he will accept.

nifal Gold Pan Is
 Being Shown
Placer Miners Interested in New Device on Exhib-
 ition in This City

What should be of intense inter- est to placer miners throughout the Territory of Alaska is the new Den yer Mechanical Gold Pan now on display at the Alaska Mine and Equipment Company offices, located in the R. J. Sommers Construction building in Juneau.
 This machine, known to most min- CTS. can be seen on the floor at the local concern or in demonstration there, everyday. It is one of the newest and most compact of it's kind ever built.
 One Man Operator
 This mechanical gold pan, oper- ated by gas motor and easily moved about by one man, will handle placer sands, mill tailings, mine dumps, de- velopment ore, and is successful as an amalgamator following S a m p batteries
 Burr Johnson, manager of the To- cal retail company, reports the unit will handle from 112 to 2 yards of bank run per hour. and is also ideal for recovery of gold from beach sands.
 It is of interest to note that the machine has proven itself most wor- thy throughout the states where it has been in use in recent years. In 1883 mechanical geld pan was taken to one of the oldest mining claims in Colorado. not worked since 1859 and set up where recovery of $10 per hour was made in claim thought used up for many years
 To Bring High Wage
 In many places in Alaska this ma chine would bring a very high wage to any miner who could see fit to use it. Little water is used, and, if the plant happens to be located where there is no water, the same water can be reused and reclaimed, thus placing water-hauling at mini mum.
 The Denver Mechanical Gold Pan duplicates the hand banning motion by means of steel yoke and saddle connected to an enclosed rotating, ball-bearing eccentric which gives positive vibrating motion of 240 os- cillaticns per minute. Power by 4- cycle gas engine drives the pump for washing gravel a n d sands. The amount of water required is at a minimum of any placer machine de- velcped in the past.

Thousands Visit National Forests of Alaska as
 Recreation Cenfers

During l940. 3l 200 people used the National Forests of Alaska for some kind Of recreation. according to es- inmates made by the Regional Office cf the U. S Forest Service in Juneau.
 An additional 32000 people are es- timated lo have enjoyed the out standing scenic attractions Of the National Forest area while cruising alcno the Inside Passage as tour ists or passing through On trips for business and other purposes. These estimates are based on data collected by the division supervisors, rangers and guards of the Forest Service and from the steamship companies.
 The general passenger traffic from Canada and continental Unit e d States to Alaska increased substan- jally in l940 over that of 1939 This was undoubtedly due. in large part, to the employment afforded by the construction work incident to Ma ticnal Defense projects and to a lesser extent to somewhat improved business conditions However, there was an estimated 20 percent reduc- ticn under the previous year in the number of tourists visiting the Ter ritcry This reduction is attributed to unsettled conditions caused by the war.
