Quotas for Defense Bond Savings for Cities in Territory Are Set

The following wire was receiv ed by the director of Nome Civ ilian Defense from Frederick w, Aver, Deputy Administrator of the Defense Savings Staff, at Juneau.
 Juneau, May 1, 1942
 Revised quotas for the Terri tory are now set at $350000 for May; $420,000 for June; and $500,000 for July and each month thereafter. These quotas not only must be reached but they must be exceeded if Alaska is to do it's share in supporting the na- tion's war effort.
 For this month, quotas by local ities are as follows: Fairbanks, Ketchikan and Anchorage, $50,- 900 each; Juneau $47, 800; Kodiak $37, Sitka $30,000; Nome $20,00O0; Seward $15,000; Peters burg $15,000; Palmer, Valdez, Wrangell and Cordova $7,5O0 each; Skagway $4,500; Haines and Metlakatla $2,500 each; Me- mana and Craig $500 each. ! These quotas will be increased in June and July, after which AL aska is expected to stick to minimum of $500,000 monthly.
 "Tihs war is costing $10O,OOO,- 900 a day. To pay for arms and munitions needed by our fight ing men in all parts of the world, the people on the home front must sacrifice everything which is not absolutely necessary for actual living expenses. If some persons consider a minimum of ten percent of their income too much to give up ask them what they think our soldiers and sail ors, airmen and marines are sac rifcing daily. By the loyalty and actions of our people at home, this Nation will stand or fall.

Claude Hirst and Ralph Mize of Indian Office
 Guests at C of C Luncheon

The regular meeting of the Board of Director of the N. W. A. Chamber of Commerce met Tues day noon at the North Pole Bak- erg with Past President Leroy Sullivan presiding. When it be- came known that there were to be two distinguished guests, a large number of members at tended the meeting.
 The minutes and correspond ence were briefly touched upon by Secretary Polet and any ac- ton as deferred until next meet ing. The election of officers was postponed to the next meeting as we'll.
 Chairman Sullivan introduced the visitor who were received with great applause.
 On MT. Ralph Mize being call ed he explained that the program of buildings and replacements will be naturally curtailed on oc count of the conditions prevail ing but he felt if the department would succeed in carrying out it's program of repairs and maintain ing the 535 buildings which it has under its supervision, that will be all that can be expected. Mir Claude Hirst, General Su perintendent for the Alaska Off, flee of Indian Affairs accepted the invitation to give the Cham Der the highlights of his observa tions and inspection of the trip. In reporting this the writer as well as the members present were amazed at the magnitude of service rendered by the De partment. As conversant as we should be, comparisons and figur es are simply astounding. The population share under the De- partment of Indian Affairs is full one-half or about 33,000. The number of employees, teach CTS, doctors is around $50; there are l22 schools with an enroll ment of 6900; the high school attendance is 365; there are four industrial and boarding schools. Another surprising item is that out of the $50 employees, 270 are native-born and graduates. This gain has been made in the last 6 years. A large number of girls and boys are now avail able and are engaged in clerical work. The Territory of Alaska has absorbed quite number in the last two years.
 The Territory of Alaska re- linquished its supervisor of F schools which are now conduct ed by the department.
 The Medical Service has also made wonderful progress not only has improved the health of the natives but has brought about the improvement of home life and the living conditions which under the present pro- gram has gone a long way to make the native self supporting.
 MT. Hirst exressed his hope that in the near future, the Terri torial Government should adopt a program of closer cooperation in order to coordinate toward further development by supple menting the work and funds of the Federal government,
 Chairman Sullivan expressed his appreciation and in the name of the Chamber thanked MT. Hirst for his valuable informa- ton and promised the hearty co operation of the Chamber
 Many members remained after adjournment to get better ac- quainted with MT. Hirst and availed themselves of the offer to ask any question they wished fO ask
