ories when as a little girl playing
with dolls, I paid much more at
tention to babies then than 7 have
in later years; and 1t seems to me
that material called birdseye was
then used for diapers. In those
days they were large in size and
square in shape, and they were
pinned on the baby in a triangle.
I would like to know the advan-
tages of pinning diapers on the side
compared to the old-fashioned
three-cornered way, and also the
advantages of this new material as
compared with birdseye.

STARCH FOR DARK CoLoRs?
From L. ", Washington
Could you please tell me what kind

any help you can give me.

AFRICAN VIOLETS;
HOLES IN CURTAINS.
From Mrs. F. H. G., Washington. J
Those who grow African violets
for a hobby may be interested in
a successful experiment of mine.
I had several pot-bound plants last
fall and no place to keep them in
larger pots, so I tried planting
them in a fernery, about l foot by
Is by 10 inches. AS there was no
way of watering them from the
bottom, I was somewhat skeptical
as to the results. I am pleased to
report that they are now mass
of purple bloom. I water them only
about three times a week, being
careful, of course, not to get water
on the. leaves. They grow much
faster and more luxuriantly than
in pots. The soil is rich and loose,
and I give them plant food about
every two weeks. They are in an
east window.
I have a beautiful pink violet
which I started myself from a leaf.
Now am anxious to acquire white
one and also a yellow one, If there
is such a thing In exchange for
a leaf from a white or yellow plant,
I would like to offer a leaf from
either a pink plant, a deep purple
one, or a lovely light purple one
(the kind with the dark green
pointed leaf that is red under
neath).
An idea for covering up holes in
curtains: In ironing them, place one
side of the hole over the other,
and press them together. The
starch will hold it together and con-
ceal the hole very nicely. Much
easier than mending. and a good
way of making badly worn curtains
last longer.

In reply to Mrs. B. D. WIS request
in regard to an inexpensive lotion, I
wish to suggest she ask her druggist
to make her preparation of gly-

this for years and although I have

always been able to get a satisfac-

of the ingredients to the druggists
discretion.

Rental Hardship
 Adjustments Revised

According to recent information received by the Alaska Area Rent Office from Washington, D. C., specific consideration has been given to the landlord regarding the substantial hardship incurred by the steady increase in property taxes and operational costs of rental property. By an amendment to the Rent Regulation for Hous- ing, the basis for relief has been broadened to make it possible for additional landlords to obtain com pensating rent adjustments, if they establish that the earnings of their property had been specifically re- duced by rising taxes or operating costs.

FAIR NOTES

Everybody loves parade, and there will be one at the Fair if old man weather permits. By April l7th Nome should be favored with "spring weather" and if so, col orful parade will be held on Front street with an array of partici- pants ranging from reindeer and sleds to children on bicycles.
 Thanks to the City of Nome, Front Street has been kept clear these past months and should be fairly navigable for a parade in April-which will be another of the many colorful events planned to make the forthcoming Fair un- surpassed for what it takes to make such an event enjoyable to all.

Congress Will Line
 Up For Aid To Greece and Turkey

WASHINGTON, R-President Truman's bid for American help for Greece and Turkey gained such momentum in Congress today that opposition seemed likely to be con- fined to only rear guard action aimed at narrowing the terms.
 Senator Aiken QR.-VD who has yet to make up his mind on pitting direct financial aid limited mili- tary assistance against Communist pressures in the Mediterranean area, summed up the situation to a reporter this way:
 Tt looks like there isn't much Congress can do but go along with the President in this crisis"
 Similarly, Senator Connally, top Democrat on the foreign relations committee, predicted that MT. Tru- mans proposal twill pass both Houses by large majority"
 As Senate Republicans gathered n party conference to hear Sen ator Vandenberg R.-MichJ, chair man of the foreign relations com mittee, report on President Tru- mans personal appeal to Congress Wednesday, there was evidence that the Aiken and Connally views were shared by some Republican leaders.
 One of these, who asked not to be quoted by name, noted that the President has wide latitude in the field of foreign relations and that his publicity announced commit ment to go into Greece and Turkey could be reversed by Congress only if it chose to withhold funds.

tBy Charles Haslet)

WASHINGTON, (R). The United States should fortify Alaska anl maintain highway. airport and communication facilities there "so we can remain strong in that area" Rep. Glen D. Johnson O. OIaD said today.
 The Oklahoman told reporter:
 Alaska commands a strategic position should we become in- volved at any time in the future with a European nation. It also is in strategic position in connec- ton with our mandated islands in the Pacific.
 "As long as we have tense sit- uation in China, Korea, and with present unsettled conditions in Eu- rope, we should keep Alaska inn pregnable."
 r Congress should provide any ap- propriations necessary to keep open radio telegraph and other communication facilities with Alaska and to maintain any air port facilities needed there by the military. he continued.
 / In addition, he said, the United States and Canada should keer open the Alcan highway between Washington State and Alaska a. "a vital lifeline"

COMMUNICATION

The Editc-,
 The Alaska Daily Empire,
 Juneau Alaska.
 Dear Sir:-In one of your edi- toriels of August 18, 1947, you state that Michael J. Haas gave a speech at the banquet for Inter- national President of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees and Bartenders Alliance, which ridi- culed and condemned the Taft Hartley Act.
 As an invited guest to this ban qr3t heard the speech which MT. Haas gave, and he positively did not ridicule the Act. The gist of MT. Haas statement concerning the Taft-Hartley Act was that it would not answer many of the problems which it was supposed to solve, as Labor Management re- lations were human relations; and as such, this particular type of 1 legislation would not or could not be the answer to the problems facing management and labor l MT. Haas does not stand alone in his belief, nor in his statement The President of the United States tEe Secretary of Labor, many of the more prominent government officials, as well as maiority of the leaders of industry opposed passage of this Act, and feel it is not truly democratic piece ot legislation. Anyone who has read and studied the Taft Hartley bill with sincerity will agree with MT Haas and the other prominent persons in public office.
 As for MT. Haas stating the Act was disgrace, it is a disgrace tc the name of democracy and th: intelligence of American puhIc It is no more progressive thar many of the legislative acts of the last Alaska Legislature, which il memory serves me correctly. you parer supported even though tht record of this legislature is tht worst in the history of Alaska.
 The Taft-H Hartley Act is a gcoc example of what p0wer the min ority group of big business hac through their lobbys on the las 1 Congress of the United States. | IS not progressive or damocrati, legislation, and may we have nor, public office holders who hew tt the line of true democracy
