F- l- . eIIs' s7-r V. SANITATION DEFENSE TO
 BE PREPARED
Health Department Sug- gesfs All Cities Get
 Ready, Emergency

In the regular bulletin of the Territorial Department of Health, issued to health officials all over Alaska, the urgency of a sanita- ton program for defense is made clear and officials are asked to start work immediately on pre- ventive measures against injury to sanitation systems.
 Complete maps and records of the water sys.em Of towns should be made immediately, according to the bulletin, so that in case of bombings, repairs can be made with out loss of time so that fire fight ing equipment will be of service.
 Camouflage Suggested
 Officials suggest that pump sta tions and storage tanks should be camouflaged by planting trees and shrubbery, or painting water tanks to resemble small ponds from the air Making available the use of alternate supplies or water also is suggested.
 Officials also are warned to get a supply of repair materials ca hand now and to keep a sufficient supply of chlorine on hand to dis infect water if it should be contam- inted. Emergency repairs should be outlined for sewer lines in case Of destruction and a crew of repair workers should be instructed on what to do in case of an attack.
 Construct Stations
 Communities also should consid- CT the immediate construction Of public comfort stations for the use of refugees or persons whose homes are destroyed, according to the bulletin
 The article suggests that persons responsible for repair work should not be assigned to any duties such as fire fighting, first aid or patrol, but should be schooled in their duties and have a knowledge of sanitary precautions which should be taken.

EXPLOSIVE PERMITS NECESSARY FOR ALL
 MILITARY pR0E(I5

Contractors must acquire pur- chasers' licenses to buy explosives for their projects, even when they are employed on purely military projects, ana foreman on such lobs also must have licenses to use the explosives under the Federal Ex- plosives Act. B. D. Stewart Regional Explosives Officer for this district, said today. E-
 The Bureau of Mines informed Stewart that in cases when licenses have been issued for an agency from it's Washington, D. C., head quarters, photostatic copies of the licenses issued to the Forest Ser vice and Public WoIKs, sent here are sufficient. M
 The law requires that foreman on projects using explosives must report in person before one of the 53 U. s. Commissioners who are licensing agents in the Territory in order to be licensed. In cases when foremen in remote localities find it impossible to do this, the Bureau has ruled that these foremen may fill out applications and have the signatures notarized by an official who can administer oaths, and for ward the application to the nearest Forest Service or Public Works of ficer who can endorse the applica- tion
 The license then may be issued by tEe licensing agent or by the nearest Forest Service or Public Works officer. ,sss
 The deadline for obtaining such permits was April l. A request by MT Stewart that the deadline be extended was turned down by the Bureau which said it did not believe it was advisable to formally extend the deadline, but that licenses may be issued after April 1.
