FINE vANDYkE5
 SEEN IN CITY

Behind the two full-grown Van dyke boards one saw walking about Juneau last week were a pair of young workers for the Guy F. Atkinson project at Ex- cursion Inlet-Percy L. Bush and Karl E. Shuett, on their way south to spend the holidays with their families.
 The lush, red and black curly growth that adorns Percy Bush is undoubtedly the finest thing of it's kind since the Gay Cavalier" sat for his portrait The mustache is even twirled and curves upward.
 Percy says it took him about three months to produce it, while Karl says his own less virile growth was fostered in about two. Karl describes his hirsute adornment as "Dantesque. but without the h. ferno."
 Percy has worked in Nevada, California, Oregon and Washington as cat-skinner, or bulldozing op- orator; Karl's experience is that of lubricating engineer Otherwise known as grease monekyl and his range has been over Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, he said,
 They will visit their wives in Seattle and Enumclaw, respectively, and Percy plans a trip with his

MRS. BRINK ON WAY TO STATES
 FROM INTERIOR
Kuskokwim Wom a n Has Time 10 Cultivate Many
 Hobbies, Lonely Home

Lonely years on the Kuskokwim haven't driven me to drink, or made me queer--I don't believe" said Mrs. John Brink, who pass ing through, left Juneau Saturday on her way outside for the first time since 1880,
 Mrs Brink, who with her hus- band, has lived in the remote Bear Creek area for many years, has utilized her solitude to culti- vate hobbies that have held special interest for her Composing rhymes, collecting early Indian relics she has found herself, and collecting and classifying Alaskan wild flow CTS are among these.
 T found many wild anemones above underline" she said. They are all cream in color and indicate that the cultivated varieties should do we'll in the same climate. Noun tain laurel also thrives in the ex- posed, rocky places, as does a dwarf type of Scotch heather on the hills. Three species of iris are found in the Bear Creek area, in orchid, lavendar and purple shades. Other types of flowers, which I've not yet been able to classify, were especially interesting" she said.
 Mrs. Brink has most time to in- dulge in her hobbies in the sum mer months, she reported, when her husband is carrying on min ing operations. At that time their nearest neighbor is the Nyac mine operations about fifteen miles away.
 In making the trip out to Ro- chester, Minn., for a medical check-up, Mrs. Brink flew from Anfak to Anchorage, and from An chorage to Juneau. The rest of the trip will be by steamer and train.

SPORTS SHOTS
 JERRY BERT BAKER

Michael Holovak of Boston Col. played a good game, it is true, but against very weak teams and certainly didn't bolster the B.C. backfield as the Boston boys were taking such shellacking fro m Holy Cross. On the other hand, Fetke of Ohio State was the spark plug of team that captured the Big Ten Championship in a year of good teams. He was a triple threat back who could pass, kick, and run the ball
 Our other change in the back field brought Bob Steuber of Mis- soui to the first team as it was he who led an inspired Missouri eleven to smashing victory over the powerful Iowa Preflight team. He and Dobbs were two of the best backs to come out of the Southern district in many years and Dobbs is certainly the Back of-the-year and has been named honorary captain of our All-Am- erican team.
 This has been an upset year for many a champion including Min i nesota, Notre Dame, Boston Col lege, and Southern California. The biggest upset happened last Sunday in the pro ranks when the Wash ington Redskins defeated the Chi cago Bears who had, in turn, de- feated them last year 73-0.

WAR HOUSING IMPERATIVE

EXISTING HOUSING shortages have a direct
- effect on labor turnover in war plants, thereby
hamperlng and slowing war productions the Amer:
lean Federation of Labor executive council points
out in its annual report The council goes on tC
cite facts that should be widely known 1t says:
'ln war Industries designations have increased
between 1871 and 1912 from 81 per cent in air
craft to II per cent in shpbuildlng; 81 per cent
in machine tools, and as much as l31 per cent il
iron and steel.
Cheeks made in particular situations have
shown chat housing Accommodations were primarily
responsible for the workers decisions to leave
their jobs and seek employment where they and
their families could be provided with at least
llvable housing Accommodations.
ln the Shipyard centerS surveyed, between sc
and 40 per cent OF all designations during the first
five months Of 1912 were reported to be due tC
lack Of housing, and by June this proportion rose
to 60 per cent Of all quits.
Increase in absentcciSm has also been shown
to be directly related to oVer-crowding in Wal
centers Sickness has taken heavier toll of the
workers and their families, placing an added fin
ancla burden upon the wage Garner and making
direct inroads into war production"
The councils conclusion is:
"As a matter Of war production alone adequate
provision of war housing is Imperative"

DRINKING AND AUTO DEATHS

0F THE, 600 persons who were killed in auto
mobile accidents last year, 8,000-one in five
had been drinking. This is revealed in the 194z
edition of Accident Facts, the National Safety
Councils statistical yearbook
State summaries for 1941 showed, says Acct
dent Facts, that II per cent of the drivers in
volved in fatal accidents had been drinking. These
drivers were involved in one out of six accidents
The same summaries reported that IA per cent
of the pedestrians killed had been Drinking 900
of the 13,6O0 pedestrians deaths. The figures indi
Gated that one in every six adult pedestrians haC
been drinking.
Says Accident Facts:
ALTHOUGH the proportion of drivers and pedes-
trians reported to have been drinking has in
creased in recent years, a greater degree Of com
pleteness in figures reported by the states and
cities could account entirely for the apparent
upward trend.
"The 1941 summaries of % states showed n
per cent more drinking drivers than were in
volved in 1940's fatal accidents. The number OF
drivers in 1941 fatal accidents was
up II per cent. The sharp increase in drunk driv-
ings accidents is confirmed by the judgment and
observation Of committee of outstanding traffic
experts"
