 Some vacancies still exist in spec ial sections, namely the machine gun and medical detachment which are not entirely completed, but the enrolment has been satisfactory, Dr. Freeburger said.
 All enrollees are re quested to go to the Shattuck Building, on Seward Street, tomorrow night immediately following the alert to receive their rifles and ammunition, he stated
 Those who are now members Of the auxiliary police unit of Civilian Defense are expected to assume their posts during the alert tomorrow night as usual and those enrollees who are now engaged in Civilian Defense activities should inform their sergeants, or A. B. Phillips, of their intention to transfer pr. Freeburger said.
 To Assume Police Duties While the activities of the auxil- iary police will be assumed by the Alaska Territorial Guard in the future, it cannot take over these duties until the organization is more perfected.
 As it is expected that over 100 rifles will have to be issued at this time, and it may be impossible to get them all issued in one evening those enrollees who would find it more convenient to go to the Shat tuck Building for their rifles and ammunition on Friday night at 7:3O o'clock may do so, Dr. Freeburger stated.

went back 43 years in their eXplora-

came up with a procedure that

Instead Of assuming the average
householder had not deliberately
wasted money in previous years by
purchasing fuel oil he did not
need and cutting his allotment on
a percentage system based on the
need for reducing consumption in
his area, the committee said, the
experts calculated the amount OF oil
necessary to heat given number of
square feet in given county.
Velocity, Humidity Ignored.
Not only did these calculations
ignore wind velocity and humidity
continued the report, but the height
Of ceilings and the thickness OF
walls as well, leaving many homes
