Doctor Urges Love Education

Boston, Dec. l2 dUP)-lCouples planning marriage should take courses to train themselves to be good lovers, according to Dr James C. Januey Of Harvard Medical School.
 Many marriages have been broken up by lack of good sexual Judgment, he said here yester- day at a marriage counseling forum. He urged men and women take instruction on sex ual matters.
 Howevr, he said. doctors win have to learn about sex them selves. The average doctor is a poor counsel because he has had no training and many medical schools do not teach the sub ject. Jaflney said.
 T wish doctors were broader minded he said. Some doctors are still Victorian about sex. Many of the others are en- barrassed if asked about sex because they don't know enough about it. Doctors have a big job 10 do and need a whole lot more education along these lines"

Marshall Hoppin, general man ager of the Alaska Airlines is on a short visit to Nome, the purpose of which he states is to increase, the present schedule of flights into nome to four a week.

"By-Pass Seattle Ketchikan Says

XETCHIKAN, (P) - Ketchikan merchants discussed Satur d a y with C. J. Smith, president of the Juneau Merchants association, a shipping proposal which calls for the by-passing of the port of Seat tie and the purchasing of mer- chandise in the midwest and east ern markets for shipment via Canada.
 Under the proposition the cargo would be carried on vessels oper- ated by veterans of World War IL.
 Smith said the vessels would be operated on a cooperative basis, with members of the crews shar- ing in the stock.
 Maritime union headquarters in Seattle and San Francisco are fav- orable to the proposal, Smith told the merchants.
 The contracts would have stipu- lations allowing crew operation in case of other strikes with the pro- viso that the crews would be granted what unions were allowed at the strikes end, to be retroac- tive.
 Smith said that recent investi- gaiton of the piferage problem showed that most of the missing merchandise never reached Seat tie docks but was going into the Seattle black markets.

Urge Clearance Of Ships For South East Alaska

SEATTLE, (P)-The Alaska de- partment of Seattle chamber of commerce has asked Cmdr. E. P. Chester, representative of Gov. Gruening, to urge union clearance of two regular steamships to carry foodstuffs and medical supplies to Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska.
 A survey of Seattle wholesalers, produce dealers and feed mer- chants disclosed that more than 5000 tons of commodities are awaiting shipment to the Terri tory, the department said.
 The northwest committee for maritime unity, representing striking waterfront unions, has restricted shipments of food and stock feed to Alaska to small-pri- vately-owned craft, not under charter to any commercial steam ship company.
 Under the clearance program, several small vessels have been okehed by the GNU and are load ing in Seattle, it was reported. The Dorothy, carrying 79 tons, sailed last week, and the Eskimo, with 120 tons, is expected to sail shortly. The Alaska Queen was to begin loading 260 tons of food and stock feed supplies at Lake Union today.

THREE DEAD IN FIR E
Entire Building And Contents Destroyed

Nome has had many fires and floods in its colorful past but never has there been such tragedy as occurred last Friday night in the fire which totally destroyed the Bon Marche store and took the lives of three children of MT. and Mrs. Ed Seidenverg. The cHlildren were Sarah Sue, aged four, Robert, aged seven and Jerry aged IA.
 Although the cause of the fire is unknown, Joe Crabtree, who was in the building, states that he could not have been asleep more than fifteen minutes when he was reused by heavy smoke. He immediately called upstairs to rouse the boys but got no answer. He states the heavy oily smoke poured in so fast that in a few minutes it was impossible to breathe so he craWled on his hands and knees in an attempt to reach the crib of the youngest child. After two attempts he was forced to give up and barely es- caped with his life.
 It. Robert Smith, fire marshal from the post and Allen Doyle of Nome, were able to save Ileene, aged twelve. After rescuing the cAild It. Smith collapsed from the smoke and was taken to the post hospital.
 Benjamin Tell of the USED. who climbed telephone pole to cut the power line received a se- were shock and fell back against his safety belt until rescued. He has been treated for shock and temporary paralysis of the legs. Gle was attempting to cut off the power so reScuerS in and around the building would not be imper- fled with falling wire.
 Private Leroy Stenson injured his toes when he fell through the floor of the burning building.
 A persistent rumor that the body of soldier was found in the ruins is denied by post author ities.
 { Realizing that the local Nome Wire department could not cope with the fire a call was made to the Nome Base for aid. One piece of equipment responded. It was realized that was not sufficient and a general "17" alarm was sounded at the Base.
 Under the combined efforts of the Nome and the Base fire fight ing equipment and the superb and efficient work of the Nome department under Chief Brown and the Nome Base department el;Ader the direction of Sam Hux- ley, the fire was confined entire ly to the Bon Marche building. The J. w. Thompson building,
