Fire District
Shelby. Sterling
Areos Included

UTICA - The city council
meeting of Tuesday night was
attended by members of the
Shelby and Sterling township
boards and a lengthy discussion
regarding the localizing of the
fire department so as to give the
territory full fire protection.
Utica's new fire engine ar
rived on Sunday but no action
regarding the serving of the
townships was taken at the
meeting. The most logical solu-
ton suggested was that the
townships jointly purchase an
enine which could be housed at
Utica. The township line divides
the city in half.
Other business transacted was
the acceptance of the McPher-
son Refining Company's con-
tract for maintaining the streets
for $4,000. TIL mayor was auth
orized to negotiate for the city.
Mrs. Mary Lang, of the River
road. petitioned for water but
it was voted not to extend water
beyond the city limits.
Cleanup Week was designat-
ed for Monday, May 8, TO Satur-
day, May 10, inclusive.

HEWLETT URGES
MORE HOSPITALS

Addison Hewlett, ST., chairman
of New Hanover's county board OF
commissioners, speaking before the
State Association of County Com
missione-s in Raleigh Wednesday,
emphasized the need for expanded
facilities to care for insane, feeble
minded and tubercular patients,
which resulted in resolutions being
drawn to ask the 1945 General as
sembly for funds to enlarge the
institutions.
Hewlett pointed out that insane
persons often are confined to coun.
ty jails because Of lack of space
in the state hospitals. 1T is our
duty to take the matter up with
the General Assembly," he de-
c1ared. "The state has consider
able money and it could do nothing
better than use the funds IN this
way"
The New Hanover commissioner
suggested that facilities for tuber-
cular patients might be provided
if the counties would build the
hospitals and the state would fur
nish dollar a day per bed. 1T
is well worth looking into this"
he added.
Upon completion of Hewlett S
speech, the association voted to
ask the General Assembly to ZAP
propriate sufficient money to en-
large our institutions to care for
all feebleminded and insane cases
in our state"
The resolution points out that
this is to include both adults and
children, regardless Of age, since
it is impossible to care for h e
adults in the county homes and
jails, and since the care of these
children in their homes is unfai-
and depressing to other children
in the same family.
The association also passed a
resolution that ''our Legislative
committee be active toward b e
passage of such legislation in the
l945 session toward the enlarge
ment of county facilities for the
care of tubercular patients, encour.
aging counties not equipped at this
time to construct sanitorium facil.
tiles and those counties now having
sanitorums to enlarge their facil
tiles"

The airmen were told their job. Cargo vital for the defense of American soil must be flown from the mainland of Alaska down the Aleutian chain of islands. Hardly anyone doubted that the Japs would attack-and probably soon. There was no time 10 await slow moving ships. And besides. the sh ps were not available The two-motored transports, flying over the uncharted volcanic mountain peaks and through the almost incredible Aleutian wea- 'her must fill the breach.
 The only trouble was that in the islands there were no airfields, and on the Alaskan peninsula, en- route to the islands, there were none worthy of the name.
 The farthest-west landing field was Naknek, which is located on the Boring Sea side of the penin- sula where it joins the mainland. The field was merely a muddy, cleared-o place on the tundra, 75-feet wide and barely long enough to make a take-off. Col. Durfee said, "Over half the time we landed and took off in cross winds, and in these parts, a cross wind is not a zephyr but a gale, and the wind is always blowing. Sometimes we landed on frozen lakes"
 At the same time, army engi- neers were feverishly putting in landing strips at Cold Bay, fur ther down the peninsula, and at Umnak, about three islands far ther down.
 These bases were so highly secret they were listed in all cor respondence and records simply as "The Blair Packing Co.," The fighters and bombers that roared up from them to meet the Jap attackers on June 3, l942, were given full credit for stopping the

invaders. But the airmen them selves gave the credit to the en- gineers who slogged around in the rain and wind to lay steel mat ing over the muddy tundra. The Japs didn't know our engi- neers could do things like that then" the flyers said
 AS in many parts of the world at this time when American forces were trying to sem the Jap tide, there were periods of extreme emergency When the Japs struck Dutch Harbor, the 42nd was al ready hurl.ng troops, specialists and equipment down the chain" For six long weeks thereafter, every man in the squadron rolled up flying hours at the rate of 200 a month. There was only one 1st pilot, one co-pilot and one crew to each ship, and it meant to keep going. Major Guy Kintner (then a lieutenanD of Oakley, H., rolled up 237 hours in one month during the period. Major Kintner later became commanding officer of the squadron.
 In addition, the squadron dur ing the emergency pressed into service some ferry pilots who had brought up a flight of transports. "Every day" Col. Durfee recalls, ''we got a red-hot wire from San Francisco requesting their ferry pilots back, but we had to ignore the wires until we could get fighting equipment and men down the chain"

The squadron was the first complete troop carrier unit to return under the army's overseas troop rotation system.
 It was just four months before the Jap attack on Dutch Harbor that the first elements of the And Troop Carrier arrived in Alaska. Capt. Philip T. Durfee (now It. Cob of Los Angeles, Calif., land ed at Elmendorf Field near An chorage with five C-53's and one crew for each of them.
 Previous to this, four lieuten- ants had been flying army cargo around the mainland of Alaska in some old BIO bombers. This unit, known as the Tow Target Detachment, together with per sonnel from a signal corps com pany and a materiel squadron, were hastily combined with Capt.

This winter the members of h Deering company of A. T. C.. kill ed 13 wolves. Last winter Deering had no company of A. T. G. No wolves were killed last year. The A. T. c. men trapped and shot these l3 wolves in the vicinity Of Deering.
 One can realize the tremendous signif canoe of this A. T. G. ace complishment when it is under stood that Deering is native Els kimo village win a large herd of reindeer upon which wolves prey.
 For years wolves have been killing deer at an alarming rae in the Deering area. Each year the situation seemed to grow worse.
 It is interesting to note in this connection what the old Natives have to say about the wolf prob lem now and the wolf problem be- fore the white man came.
 Years ago, before the rifle came into common use in Alaska, three were caribou in this section of Alaska. Wolves were here then. The caribou Jeff when the rifle came. The wolves did too. The wolf returned when the reindeer came. They increased rapidly.
 It is believed that the wolves came down from the Kobuk country to the north
 Wolves do not usually come right up 10 the village Tracks are sometimes seen a mile from the village at the closest. It is the hunters, trappers and herders along with the pilots who see the wolves.
 During the summer little is seen or heard of the wolves. Once in a great while berry -pickers or greens gatherers will see one.
 Both gray and black wolves are found in this area. There are more of the gray. It is the light gray wolf fur that the Eskimo prefer for ruffs.
 A hunter gets a $40 bounty for a wolf. If his wife cuts up the pelt and sells it for ruffs it will bring him from $20 10 $50 more Wolf ruffs are famous for parka hoods. They do not frost quick ly and they make excellent wind breaks.
 The skin of wolf legs are used for jackets and high mukluks The skin of the head is often used for mittens.
 Deering A. T. G. men get the majority of their wolves by trap ping. They usually do not use bait. The favorite trapping ground is west of Deering near the mouth of Cripple Creek. There is a place there on top of a high

 Gideon Barr, the leading A T C.. wolf trapper, is only 25 years old. He got five wolves. We asked him how he did it. He said hat it is easy if you understand wolves. He went on to say: All I do is set few traps up on that hill by urinal rock
