Mrs. Grnemimg Tells alliance
OF Opportunities IN Alaska
By Gretchen Smith,
Women's Club Editor.

Alaska as a land of opportunit
for people who are willing to work
was portrayed by Mrs Ernest Gruen-
ing, wife of the Governor of Alaska
in an illustrated talk yesterday be-
fore the Women's Alliance of AL
Souls Church.
Colorful kodachrome slides pre-
sented glimpses of multitudinous
angles of Alaskan life with its great
gold mine at Juneau, the salmon
fisheries scattered along the shores
of the Inner Channel, the fertile
valleys with towering Mount Nc
Kinley in the background and its
picturesque gatherings of the In
dians of the south and of the Esqui-
maux in the north.
Homesteading is still possible in
Alaska, Mrs. Gruening said, with
160 acres of rich but rough land
available for the asking, but, and
the speaker here emphasized the
but" one must be ready and able
ito work and work hard"
''The settler must live on the land
for six months of the year for three
years." she explained, improving
it during that time. 1t is no easy
task to clear those fields of stumps
When you think you have cleared
away one row, you look to find two
more"
Difficult as the task may be, the
settlers in the Matanuska Valley
have proven that success awaits those
who will work for it, the speaker
added. She told of the rich rewards
which have followed labors of the
Matanuska colonists. in transform
ing the rough uncultivated valley
into a land of wonderful farms,
where dairying is fast becoming a
leading industry.
Opportunities also may be found
by students, the Alaskan Cover
nor's wife added. Introducing a
slide of DR.. Bunnell, president of
the University of Alaska, near Fair
banks, she said, Il promised to
convey a message from DR.. Bunnell.
Any boy or girl with $500 can re-
ceive four-year college course at
the university with opportunities
for work during the vacation
months"
Apropos of summer work, Mrs.
Gruening told Of large salaries paid

yto ordinary workers in the salmon
canneries where an exceptionally
good cook may receive as high as
$500 per month.
Anecdotes related by the speaker
of interesting characters, many OF
whom migrated to the north coun-
try in the gold rush days of the eos
revealed that unusual opportunity
also awaits the writer looking for
colorful copy.
She told of Mrs. Pullen, now in
her 80's. who went to Skagway with
four small sons in the days when the
now prosperous modern town was
but mining camp. Mrs. Pullen's
homemade pies proved so famous
that the small boarding house which
she started for the miners, expand
ed and flourished. Pullen House re-
mains one of the show places OF
Skagway, Mrs. Gruening continued
and its owner and founder is still
hale and hearty"
Another unusual personality de-
scribed by the speaker was Minnie
Field who started work in Alaska as
cook in a prison but found greater
opportunity for success in estab-
fishing a home for children OF
women prisoners. Now Minnie Field
houses and cares for 46 children
with but one young girl to help her
Mrs. Gruening said.
| The Governors wife warned. in
spite of the attractive portrayal of
opportunities in her homeland, that
no one should travel to Alaska un-
less equipped with a trade or a pro-
fession, or sufficient funds to "see
them through" until they have
found employment.
Mrs. Gruening expressed the hope
that Congress might authorize funds
for veterans desirous of assisting
in the development of one of Uncle
Sans richest territories.
Staying at the Hay-Adams House
during their visit to Washington
Governor and Mrs. Gruening expect
to return to Juneau the end of the
month.
Mrs. Winfred Overholser, presi-
dent of the Women's Alliance, pre-
sided at yesterdays meeting held in

 The most important political and economic sta tistic in the country today. Henderson declares is the fact that the federal government is headed to- wards an 18 to 9 billion dollAr annual budget. Who to pay for it and how it is to be utilized the things that businessmen should be concerned about.

GETTING COLDER

The tough winters that grand pappy used to brag about may not have been a figment of imagina- tion, according to the Federal wea- ther bureau in Washington. It be- lieves we have just completed a cycle of fifty years of progressively warmer weather. This does not mean that we will have freezing weather in July, or that the com ing of summer may not be one of the hottest on record. It does mean that for the past fifty years, there has been general trend toward warmer weather, despite seasonal upsets. Specially prepared charts show that this trend seemed to shift about three year ago. If it continues, the big snows and the frigid temperatures that grandapa used to talk about will be back with us again.
 Most of us have enough to worry about in the immediate present and follow the philosophy that sufficient to the day is the evil thereof. But it is interesting to surmise that fifty years from now the young stripling of today may be dangling his grandson on his knee and re- galing him with tales of the rela- lively tropical winters that used to prevail when he was lad. Look ing out from the second story win- dow at snow that lies level with the window sill, winters like the one just past will seem trivial Time may, of course, prove that the wea- ther man was right, but it will also show that all hardship all discom- fort, is relative.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-03

One of the chief means to achieve this worth while purpose is the information and cultural pro- gram sponsored by the State Department. It gets out the story of our country in many ways-through information by short-wave radio, which incidentally reach people, particularly in Southeastern Europe magazines in libraries maintained by embassies and legations.
 The House Appropriations Committee has struck body blow at this valuable adjunct to our foreign policy by reducing the 19 million dollar appropria- tion recommended by the Budget Bureau for this service to 10 million. It made this retreat into form of isolationism despite its announced accord with the philosophy of the program" It objected vaguely to the State Departments approach.
 The appropriation bill affecting the State De- partment and three others comes before the House The chief hope of restoring the appropriation however, lies in the Senate.
 This cut will seriously cripple the short-wave radio service if it does not its abandonment, as some State Department officials fear Broadcast
