really the heart of the Ruhr, where
blast furnaces and heavy industries
are situated. The Ruhr as 2ener-
ally thought of, however, includes
the entire industrial region - the
valley Of the Wupper, the Rhine
city of Dusseldorf, and even the
outer rim city of Cologne. This
larger Ruhr forms a rough triangle
with corners at Cologne, Vessel, and
Hamm-and area smaller than Del
aware.
The prewar' Ruhr was an area
of fantastic statistics. Fifteen cities
had more than 100000 inhabitants.
Duisburg, where the Ruhr River
joins the Rhine, ranked in ship
ping tonnage with Europe's largest
seaports. The Ruhr's pig iron out
put nearly equalled that of the en-
tire British Commonwealth of Ma
tons; it's steel production was
double that of France. Five per
cent of it's known coal deposits
would furnish enough coke to pro-
cess all the ore in Frances rich
Lorraine iron field. Unplumbed
beds Of coal were estimated to be
sufficient to last for 1000 years at
the pre'var rate.
Nothing about the Ruhr Of the
late thirites was more amazing or
harder to match elsewhere than its
cities. The aggregate population Of
the Ruhr cities over 100000 reach
ed nearly 100000. Four cities
Cologne, Essen, Dusseldorf, and
Dortmund--counted more than one
half million each. Seven cities in
the Ruhr valley-Duisburg, Ober-
hansen, Mulheim, Essen, Gelsenkir-
chen, Bochum, and Dortmunc -
formed really one continuous ur-
urban development of two and one
half million persons.
The problems that might arise
from the plan to de- industrialize
the Ruhr and turn it into farm
ing community would have a paral-
lei in the United States if Della
ware supported the following cities
Chosen to compare with Ruhr
cities Of the same approximate
size): Boston, Pittsburgh, Milwau-
kee, Buffalo, Newark, Kansas City,
Louisville, Atlanta, Richmond, Va,
Nashville, Des Moines, Scranton,
Paterson M.J.), Chattanooga, and
Peoria. When the Ruhr's chief in
dustry was farming, Cologne had
less than 80, 900 inhabitants and Es-
sen was a mere crossroads village.

Grey Nuns Have GM Birthday

Just one year has elapsed since the Grey Nuns took over the management of the Griffin Memorial hospital, and the Sis ters feel that an expression of gratitude and appreciation is due the people of Kodiak for the splendid spirit of cooperation e. vinced by them toward the new regime.
 With the help of the St Pat rick's Day Dance, some indlvid- ual contributions, and several donations from other Grey Nun missions and personal friends of the Sisters, several improvements have been made in the hospital. New water sterilizefs have been added to the surgery and new and expensive palts have been installed to make tho autoclave function once more. The laundry has been almost completely re- equipped: washing machine. ironer, extractor, and new laun- dry tubs have been installed. Several rooms have been painted, and one room completely return ished.
 For the coming year, plans are being made to renew the entire plumbing system and landscape the front yard. There are many other needs which will be gradu- ally cared for as the budget per mits.
 Special mention should be made of the splendid work done (continued on page 4)

Kodiak recrea ion seekers and serWcemen will now have a skat- ing rink for a new form of diver sion, according to the announce ment made today by Al Miller, owner of the Victory Cafe, who IS holding the opening of the Kodiak Skating Rink tonight at at 2 pm.

New restrooms will be added later, MT. Miller sad, and there will be space for spectators and refreshment counter.
 A hundred pair of skates were obtained from Loran Whiting ton, who planned a rink several years ago that did not material Ns because of objections from residents near the proposed loca- ton on Mission road.

Sau Francisco (R)-Currency that was scorched when stolen from a safe opened with an acct ylene torch led to the arrest of 2 men here on charges of burglary at Kodiak.
 The FBI filed removal com- plaints against Harrison (Harry) Lee Barber and Edward A. Ku- billus. Barber has been a jockeys agent at Bay Meadows and Ku- billus tended bar at Oakland.
 The complaint said the men have been indicted in Alaska for burglary on Oct. 21, 1942, with bail set at s5OO0 each.
 The FBI said the safe, contain ing S32,0O0, was stolen from an apartment behind the Ships Tavern from William A. Schultz and taken away in a taxlcab while Barber entertained mem bers of the Schultz famity at dinner.
 The FBI said KubillUs, taxi driver, took the safe away and buried It, and later opened 1t with a torch which burned some of the cur, ency.
 Some of the money was found in possession of Alvin B. laco- petit, of Kodiak, who after a sentence to the penitentiary was brought back to Alaska for re- trial after his conviction was claimed based on perlured testl- mony.

 MT Schultz left the apartment shortly after his family did and went to the Cheechako club a. bout 8:30. On his return after 10 he discovered the heavy safe had been taken from the apartment.
 It is believed here the safe was buried beneath a small shack near the Beachcomber's club. The safe contained about $8,000 of Mrs. Pearl's, who owned a hquor store next to the Ships Tavern, jewelry of Mrs. Schultz, and money to a total of $32, GOO.
 MT. and Mrs. Schultz subse- quently sold the Ships Tavern to Jim Pierce and went into busi- ness in California Mrs. Schultz visited here 2 weeks ago on busi- ness.
