NUTRITION cONSULTANTS HERE ON SURVEY

Christine Heller, nutrition con- sultant for the Territorial health department is here with a nutri- ton team composed of Dr. Shuker, medical nutritionist and pr. John Totter, bio-chemist, who are both from the School of Medicine of the University of Arkansas. They are in this part of the Territory on a special intuition survey to try and find out what part nutrition plays in the prevalent eye condition of the native population. They have been at Unalakleet and plan to go to White Mountain and Kotzebue.
 Miss Heller states that it will be some time before a report of the survey will be ready, but they have found out one very interest ing fact concerning native food, and that is that salmon berries are rich in vitamin C which is so necessary in the diet.
 Funds for the trip were proVid- ed by the U. s. Public Health Service.

Your County Roads

What does the Board of Super
visors have to do with road build
ing?
The department of Highways
makes a yearly allotment of
money to each county for the up
keep and construction of secon-
Diary roads. The resident engin-
eer makes a plan for spending
this money. He submits the plan
to the Board of Supervisors for
approval. The Board may in
fluence the engineer to construct
certain pieces of roads.
For what purpose is most of
the secondary road money spent?
For upkeep Of present roads.
Is there any rule for the dis
tribution Of secondary road mon
ey among the counties?
Yes. Secondary road money is
split among the counties accord
ing to set of rules. These rules
take into consideration four
factors:
L.. Area or size,
2. 1910 population,
5. Amount of road mileage,
4. Amount of automobile and
truck traffic.
Dickinson county has 1.08 per
cent of the secondary road mile
age in Virginia. Dickinson also
has 1888 percent of the area of
the state, and 1924 per cent of
the people. We have only 1863
percent Of the vehicle traffic.
The county rating is 1861. Thus,
we get 1891 of each thousand
dollars for secondary roads.
Why does our county have
such small amount of vehicle
traffic?
Probably because our second
airy roads are SO poor.
Why are our roads not as goor
as those in Wise county, for
example?
Well, we did not build them
as good when each county built
its own roads. Thus, when the
state took over the roads, we
did not have much to begin
with. Dickinson issued $742,775
for road bonds between 1912 and
1927. Of this sum, nearly all
went to build roads now in the
primary system. During the
same period, Wise county spent

Govt. Gamblers Being Published

WASHINGTON, (P) )- Officials of the agriculture department said Saturday they hope to include in their next public listing of com modity traders the names of Fl federal, state and local jobholders who have been speculating in wheat. It may be ready this week.
 A new list of l,240 persons ac- tive in wheat futures in Chicago on April 30, l946, was made avail able Friday night, but like the I'll names given out earlier in the week it provided no sensation for Congressional investigators.
 Out of the total of l,95l names the only one recognized as a gov ernment official has been Edwin w. Pauley, special assistant to the secretary of the army, who al ready had disclosed his trading ac- tivities at hearing of the Senate appropriations committee.
 Pauley said he had something thing less than a million dollars in commodities when he took the government job but was disposing of his holdings, as he had agreed | to do.
 Pauley's name was on a list of big traders as of Oct. 3l, l946, and Oct. l, l947, which was made pub. lie last Monday. Reporters scan. ming Friday nights tabulation ot names for government officials drew a blank. Only four traders all small, gave Washington address SeS. One was a navy lieutenant commander with 10000 bushels.

RANKING, (P)-Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek issued person. al order Saturday banning dis closure of military news by gov ernment officials as reports from the north indicated the national position in Manchuria was stead fly worsening.
 Chiang's order, informants said, forbade the disclosure of any mili- tary information to the press or public. Ii was reported that high authorities several times had dis closed highly secret military per- sonnel transfers and other war se- cretS.
 Chiang ordered severe punish ment for violators.
 Even pro-government sources acknowledged that the Commun- ists were gaining ground in the West Liaoning area where fighting has been the heaviest.
 The official central news agency said the government had regained control of key points within a 35 mile arc around Mukden, but from other sources the Associated Press learned that Red demo l { o n squads operating within the de- fense area had blown up a rail- road bridge over seven miles north of the city and had tossed grenades into government installa- tions just outside the city limits
