seemed to carry me farther away

There is nothing more agonizing
than to see rescue at hand yet know

They dared not fash a searchlight

slipped out Of my fingers.

grip a rope ladder.
I realized that safety was within

Head Banged by Raft.
Just then life raft drifted against
the destroyer's side and banged my

Sailors on the raft erasped the

several stepping on my head and
pushing me down into the water,
while I called on my last strength

At last, q sailor aboard the raft

GOOD WORK CREDITED TO C. C. C. MEN

A year-around program is car ried on by the CCC in Alaska under the direction of w. J. Nc Donald, senior forester in charge of the Alaska fire control service. This is indicated by the semi-an nual report showing that a total of 24,829 man-days were used for many prospects throughout the Territory. The period report ed is from July 1. l941, through December 31, 1941.
 Peak employment of CCC crews reached 456 during Octo- Der, l941, in the 46 camps oper- ated in the Territory. Camps ranged from Wainwright on the north, to Alitak (Kodiak Island) on the south, to Eagle on the eastern border, and to the West ward on the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers.
 Improvement of sanitary condi tions in and around native viii lages, budding and maintenance and constructing buildings, CO., operation with Reindeer Service, building and maintaining trails, and brush work, constituted major portion of the projects during the first six months of the fiscal year.
 Six new build ngS were con structed, most of which were shelter cabins for trapperS, and maintenance work was continued on IT others, mostly Office of Indian Affairs and school build ings. A total of 6,938 man-days were thus expended. A man-day is the time one man would work during an eight-hour day.
 In cooperation with the rein deer herding, l56 rods of fence were built for reindeer corrals, in addition to l90 man-days en- ployed for reindeer feeding.
 Fourteen miles of telephone line were maintained on the Rich ardson Highway. Three winter airplane landing fields were, and still are, maintained on the Kus- kokWim River for landing dur ing the winter months.
 Fifteen miles of foot trails were maintained. in addition to five miles of new trails con- Structed. These trails are built between portages, to wood lots from villages, and between win ter landing fields and villages. 1 Six miles of truck trails were cut out
 Among the village sanitation measures was the laying of sew age system in a native village, digging of several community wells, maintenance of a native vii lage reservoir, digging of sever al hundred feet of ditches to drain stagnate pools and mos quito swamps, in addition to brush clearing around villages.
 In several locations, rip-rap was installed to prevent the river from cutting into the bank at village locations. In villages. 6,200 feet of new board walks were built.
 Nine miles of roadside along the Richardson Highway was cleared to eliminate fire hazards as well as daylighting curves at | dangerous locations.
 Another crew also worked with Dr, F. G. Rainey, of the University of Alaska, on an ar chaelogical expedition.
 At the present time there are approximately 200 natives em- ployed by the eco. During the trapping seasons, the enrolment always decreases since the men go trapping and are encouraged to follow their natural occupa-
