Salvage System

An automatic salvage system
has been installed in Pontiac
motor divisions 155 milllmeter
shell plant TO collect, prepare
and load the four tons of steel
turnings which accumulate every
hour the plant operates, Here's
how the system ' orkS:
AS rough forgings are cut
down 10 finished shells, turnings
come from the batteries of cut
ting machines in continuous
curled strips. Because of their
bulkiness and spring-like tend
encles they are extremely diff
cult TO handle and wasteful of
shipping space. Several men
would be required 10 clear the
turnings away from the ma
chimes and load them into
freight cars. The automatic
system requires the services of
only two men.
Between the rows Of cut
tings machines. Pontiac has
installed a trough several feet
below the floor into which the
turnings drop directly from the
machines. They are washed
along by the cooling fluid from
the cutters, which also is elected
into the trough. An elevated
eeneeyer Length drops them
into a chopper, which converts
them into small chips. Another
conveyor then carries the chips
by means of a vertical belt TO
the Top of loader from which
they are disgorged directly into
freight cars from the leaders

 Here is where our Territory fits in. As a unit we have not yet found ourselves. We are but a tall gangling youth entering a game that is being played by older men with financial backing and power. We have often laughed at the sto- ries of a country lad on his first trip to the city. That would be our position in this proposed po- litical setup. While we were try ing to get our feet on the gorund some wise political wolf would be setting up his machine.

 Our Territory is having a bad case of growing pains at the pres ent time. The housing situation needs attention. The redeployment of Alaska's real wealth, it's peo- pie, to peaceful endeaVorS must be guided. The overall change from an economy of wartime to that of peace calls for the steady hand of every business man. Then to this heavy load has been added another problem. To all of us it means the, rise or fall of our fu- lures.
 Statehood should be our imme- diate goal someone says, and you who have been taking the slug ging from the merciless fist of the Department of Interior settle back and answer, Ut can't be any worse than this"
 Whether you realize it or not the situation could and would be much worse if we accepted state hood now.
 There is one rule of living that may well be applied to this case let's consider it. We feel that ma turity comes with our ability to accept responsibility. Years of living have shown this to be g

their inhabitants have thought only of personal gain and plea sure. A quick casual look at any state government would prompt one to say, "Why that looks sim pie and reliable" It is, but there is one big item that you miss in the casual glance. You don't see the force behind it. The John Q. Publics that make it a living thing.
 Folks, we have yet to find the powers that motivate that type of government. We must have spirit that touches every Alaskan, making him realize his responsi- bility to the Territory. When we have accomplished that, then and only then may we declare the Territory ready for Statehood.
 Under an (P) Washington, DC, dateline of September 26, 1945, Delegate Bartlett is quoted as say ing, Very few people will be willing to deny that Alaska is now ready for statehood, and am convinced that sufficient ma jority of Alaskans desire it at the earliest possible moment"
 No one is building mountain out of mole hill this time. This is one of the biggest decisions of our lifetimes. Let's put some 1 thought and expression into it.
