and why Adm. NimItz, IN his New

PAY RAISE FOR
 UCC DIRECTOR
 vOTED, SENATE

The old saw, Its easy to be generous with other peoples money" applies to Senators as well as to the normal run of citi- zens.
 That was demonstrated yesterday afternoon in Alaskas higher house when the Senators voted unani- mously for a pay raise for Robert E. Sheldon, Director of the Alaska Unemployment Compensation Con- mission-to be paid by the Federal Government.
 Senate Bill No. 42, by Senator Andrew Nerland which was speeded through passage by the solons, pro- poses to increase the Unemploy- ment Compensation Directors rate Of pay by 25 per cent, from $4,200 to s5,250 per year. It was ex- plained that the proposal is in line with one-fourth increases made to Federal Employees by Congressional Act in 1941. Also, it was pointed out by Senator Nerland, the Alaska Directors pay has been consider ably below that for like jobs throughout the states.

Natural resources in the immed-

CAMP DAVIS, May 13.-Vlctory
in Europe, announced this week,
meant chiefly an acceleTation of
work here for both military and
civilian personnel, for the end OF
hostilities on the western front as
sured the early arrival of large
number of army aviators for rest,
recreation, adjustment or medical
attention at the AAF Personnel
Distribution Commands new con-
valescent hospital and redistribu-
ton station.
Four years ago Camp Davis was
activated as an anti-aircraft firoing
center. Soldiers trained here to de-
stroy have fought in all parts of
the world, and have had important
roles in prosecuting the conflict
to its present success. Now, this
reservation will be converted into
constructive camp, helping to re-
store tired airmen to their former
fitness and strength and to adjust
them to a changing world.
Just as Davis became the most
complete anti-aircraft post any
where in the United States before it
was ordered closed last summer
following more than three years OF
service, so it is expected now to be-
come soon one of the largest re-
distribution and convalescent sta
tons for the Army Air Fores any
where in the country. A few con-
valescents have already arrived
here from overseas, and a large
group of military and civilian per.
sonnet are busily engaged in pre-
pairing the camp for hundreds Of
other airmen.
AS a redistribution station, all
forces officers and enlisted men
returning from overseas, will b.
processed at Camp Davis after {
furlough home.
Future plans call for the estab
fishing of a regional hospital a
the camp. That section will direc
the convalescing of continental all
force patients. 1t is planned also
that certain air force patients will
be flown direct to the regional hos
pital in hospital planes. However

NEVER FEED FROM ONE PAN
If you have one or more puppies
place their food in individual feed
ing dishes rather than putting it
all in one large pan.
Each pup. has a distinct indivi-
duality, and the bullies of litter
will often get most of the food if
only one dish is used. Feeding a
group of pups from one pan also
has the tendency to futher the
fighting instincts of some puppies.
1t is practical to afford all dogs
their own individual eating dishes.

A BLIND MANS DOG

Yesterday afternoon I followed
blind man with a Seeing Eye
dog. I watched carelessly kind
people 90 up to and pat the dog
whenever the opportunity arose.
I wanted to protest to them for
their actions, and here is why:
One should remember that such
a dog is the eyes of the blind man
first, and a dog second. Never
speak to such a dog. Never touch
or pet him. And never try to feed
him or in any way divert his MIND
from his work.
When a blind man and his dog
approach you on the street, give
the dog an opportunity to pass
you, don't willfully obstruct their
way. Always speak to blind per-
son first if you must pet his dog
but remember it is best not to pet
him at all.
A blind man cannot protect
himself or his dog but the dog is
perfectly able to protect himself
and his master. So never make it
necessary for the dog to appear
disagreeable. These dogs are doing
a wonderful service to mankind.
Help them in their great work by
remembering these few wise rules.
FLEAS WORTH CENTS. EACH

are worth 3 cents each. DR.. ]. H.
Staden of the F. B. Goodrich Bio

p1srEMpER NEGOTIATIONS

DISTEMFEk lNOCOLAAAONC
As you may be aware, distem-
per kills thousands Of young pups
every year. Whenever this canine
disease is mentioned it often starts
a discussion as to whether or not
it is wise to have dog inocu-
lated against it. If SO, will it give
him complete protection? And, at
what age should a dog be inocu-
lated?
Here's what I think about dis
temper inocu1ations. BY all means
give them to your dog. In over 90
per cent of the cases it will protect
the animal from the ravages of a
disease that is often fatal. The
usual method is to give the dog
three NEGOTIATIONS at ten-day in
tervals. However, these should
never be given to a dog under five
months Of age. But, you may ask.
what can one do to protect a puppy
until he is old enough to have these
three "shots."
After a pup is six weeks Of age
he can ge given what are called
Temporary inoculations." These
will give the dog immunizatior
from distemper for period of four
to six weeks. Then another item
porary shot, should be given. This
process is kept up until the dog i:
old enough to stand the regular
NEGOTIATIONS.
Most vets will give all the tenn
porary shots necessary plus the
regular NEGOTIATIONS for a cost o:
about $40. Some people may think
that too expensive, but isn't youl
pups life worth that price?
