Emergency Teachers
Sought in Prince GEORGES

In an attempt to obtain additional
teachers, Nicholas Orem, Prince
Georges County (Md) superintend-
ent of schools, has urged school
principals to make a survey Of their
communities in an effort to find
residents vino have had teaching
experience.
Those who do not meet the re-
quirements for regular teaching GER
tiflcates will receive war emergency
certificates, valid for the duration
Of the war and six months there
after.
While these temporary" teachers
will receive the full salary allowed
for their particular posts, they will
not be entitled to permanent tenure
or membership in the State teach
ers' retirement system.
Mr.. Orem said he will issue such
certificates to 70 persons shortly.
He added, however, that he still
needs from to 10 teachers, prin-
cipally in physical education, math-
ematics and general science classes
in high school, There also are two
or three vacancies in elementary
schools, he asserted.

The man who builds better sub
stitute garbage pail may become the
home health hero OF the war.
And plenty rich besides.
But he's going to have to take the
garbage pail seriously and approach
the problem without holding his
nose.
That's the opinion of DR.. George
A. Soper, internationally known
public health engineer who now is
consultant with the Federal Pub
lie Housing Authority.
With steel going into the war,
manufacture of galvanized steel gar
bage pals probably is out for the
duration. DR.. Soper said yesterday
he predicted a shortage soon would
develop into a major health prob
lem unless a suitable substitute is
found.
The man who discovered the
famed Typhoid Mary back in 1904
and who has become q well-known
public health specialist is most wor-
ried about the public disinterest in

(Second OF q Series
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Blatantly the Nazis have admitted
their best scientific brains have been
given over to production of the i'm
plements of war. And blatantly they
have proclaimed that their brains
toward that end are the best in the
world. DR.. Joseph Goebbels has ad-
mitted as much.
But the Nazi brain trusters have
overlooked the fact that American
science, once turned to war and pro-
duction of the tools of war, does a
better than fair job of outmaster-
minding the Axis. Some of the lethal
tools for killing now being developed
and tested at Aberdeen, Md, on the
vast proving ground there, will shock
Axis troops in the coming American
offensives.
"If we find scientist with some
thing new in war-weapon design or
development we want him. said
affable Col. George w. Outland,
commanding officer of the Replace
ment Training Center at Aberdeen.
This mans Army is open-minded
on all phases of ordnance produc-
ton We don't say we have the best,
but if any one has anything better
we want to know about it.
nn al, s~xS
Col Outland happens to be vet
eran ordnance man, one of the few
officers who made up the numerical
ly weak officer staff of Army ord
nance few years ago. Just two and
one-half years back Aberdeen was a
sleepy Army post, its slumber pune
tuated at intervals by the "wham''
of big guns under test. Then it
turned out from its ordnance school,
the only one in the country, by the
way. about Is ordnance officers and
$50 enlisted men a year.
Proudly Col. Outland pointed to
the expansion apparent in all direc-
tions at Aberdeen, where substantial
barracks sprout overnight, where
thousands of ordnance experts are
being trained and where the men to
handle the machines Of war and
keep them running under all cli-
matte conditions are learning their
multifarious jobs.
Our yearly output now exceeds TO-
600 second lieutenants or ordnance. y
said Col. Outland. with even more
specialists tenlisted mem and about
5000 onicer students in specialized
courses" That means in the hand

turns out soldier mechanics, the
specialists who keep the wheels of
war creased and turning smoothly.
Show Special Aptitude.
These men, having indicated spe-
cial aptitude for such work, are
taken from regular Army reception
centers and sent to Aberdeen for
highly specialized training. The
scope of the job at Aberdeen is huge.
Men are being trained as firearms
mechanics, armorers, automobile
mechanics, tank specialists, aviation
ordnance specialists, munition hand
lers, bomb specialists, including
bomb disposal experts, welders, elec-
tricians, carpenters, painters and
even cooks I had lunch in a mess
hall capable of seating thousand
men at one time.
Here Joe Doakes from Keokuk
Center. who may have thought a
few months back that he was an
accomplished automobile mechanic,
really learns how to keep the engines
of war in operation.
I'VE make expert mechanics Of
men who never before handled a
tool" said 1t. Col. Paul Kelly, direc-
tor of technical training. "A lot OF
men come here with some mechan-
ical training, really teach them to
right track, really teach them to
handle tools. Our work here is op-
posed to the alley mechanic train
ing ground. The men are not trying
to sell a gallon of oil or q spare
part. They're here to keep the ma
chimes running. Our expertly
trained men are trouble shooters
who can sense trouble before it
starts, and do something about it.
BY early 1943 Aberdeen will have
a capacity of $4,000 OF these mechan-
les annually, turning them out to
send them all over the world. where
ever the machines of war move and
fire, to keep them running.
Learn Postwar Trade.
I'm peace time we could 60 along
slowly" said Col Outland. But now
we must move fast and save time
We can turn out an accomplished
automotive mechanic in six months,
He may never have handled q tool
before, but he will be able to do
any job on a tank or automobile
when he leaves this school. We
have no morale problem here at the
training school. The men realize
they are learning something that
will be invaluable to them after the
war. They have the motive Of per-
sonal gain. Many of them work
long overtime hours teaching them
selves how TO handle tools"

IN THE HOUSE

The House has passed three bills concerning Alaska recently The first was H. R. 5262 to provide for conveyance of lands to the town Of Gordova. Alaska, to be used for pub lie purposes. The second measure was H. k. 7380. tU authorize in crease in wages for certain classes of employees of the Alaska Rail road between September 1 and Dec. ember 31, 1941, in conformity with an oral agreement made early in the year between the management and the employees of the railroad, and also in harmony with similar in creases in wages of railroad em- ployees in the Unites States for the same period. While this bill occas- toned some debate in the House it was so closely just that no objec- tion was made to it.
 The third, H. R. 7472 is the bill for revision of the Alaska Game Law which was introduced largely for the purpose of granting to per- sons in military service in Alaska the status of residents, with respect to resident hunting licenses, after service in Alaska for one year AL though the form of the bill has been completely agreed upon by the War Department and the Interior Department, Representative 0'Hara of Minnesota. some of whose con ctituents are in military service in Alaska, offered two amendments which were adopted; one provides that those in military service should be considered residents immediately upon entering Alaska and without waiting for the one year qualify ing period; and the second provid- ing that such individuals in mili- tary service should be ciassed with Eskimos, Indians and Aleuts in to- tal exemption from requirement. of securing hunting, fishing and trap ping licenses. For sound reasons the Indians and Eskimos including the Aleuts have been from the be- ginning exempted from the provis- ions of the law requiring licenses for hunting, trapping or fishing. Any such requirement upon those natives who reside in the more thin ly settled regions of Alaska would impose upon them an undue burden and in many cases outright hard ship. To ROW provide that all of the

 That violates all forms of Am eriean principles. Norris declared None of it is serious yet but it is not within the law There is no more reason for censoring a letter from q person in Alaska to q person in one Of the states lhan 10 censor a letter from Washington state to another state.
 The hitch. of course. has been that Alaska has been considered as a foreign country for the purpose of censorship. as have all U. s. posses sions. Result is what we have been seeing---priyate mail censored with abandon, and il is why we in Alas ka have a right to feel injured be cause we are being discriminated against
 We never have been able to fig ure out why Alaska is considered a  foreign country. but aside from that point why. as Senator Norris points out, should the private mail of Alaskans be censored any more than should private mail of the cit izens of Washington state or Seat tle2 And the worst in the idiotic action is to send exerpts to "35 of ficials who might be interested"
 The fact is that censorship, as il always does when not eurbed. has gone berserk. Sensible military cen sorship is one thing.

IDIoTIC CENSORSHIP AGAIN

Censorship has again raised it's ugly head to Alaskans and thanks to Gov Gruening, Delegate Dimond and possibly the judiciary commit tee of the U. s. Senate headed by Chairman Frederick Van Nuys it it may be again slapped down even as it was in the case of the clipped newspapers and magazines for Alas ka consumption We recall how our magazines and papers coming from the States were clipped until finally enough protest was raised to elim- mate such a purely fantastic enter prise
 Now replacing the boys with the scissors is another group of lads or lassies who are using the. blue pen cil on private mail sent to Alas kans. The Governor went back to Washington with blood in his eye and was joined by Delegate Dimond to see what could be done about it.
