lens in business and told of read
justmentS of small businessmen to
war conditions He said that from
what he has been able to learn he
believes that Alaska is in no danger
of an attack but that the fine prep
arations for defense of the Terri
tory should continue.
1t was reported at the meeting
in the Gold Room of the Baranof
Hotel that the Executive Board of
the Chamber has appointed Allen
Shattuck to investigate the posi-
bilities of using street cleaning
magnet here to pick up old nails on
the streets and help conserve rubber.

method is being used in Fairbanks
