INCREASING COSTS

An excellent example of the way unwholesome lslor practices continue to force the cost of living up n Alaska may be seen right here in Juneau Alaskans have just recently been bmdened with an increase Ill height rates And 1t may net be long before there will be another increase demanded unless the aboring group begins to show little common sense.
 The Northand steamer Alaska arrived here last Tuesday with quite a bit of freight for Juneau. But in order to maintain schedule it was impossible to unload all of the freight because it seems that Tn Juneau the loneshoremen have agreed that they will not work between midnight and a. m. So this freight had to be carried Haines Skagway and Sitka and back to Juneau last Friday when the Alaska pulled in shortly after 9 D. m.
 Freight was then unloaded up to midnight, when everything was shut down again until a. m. Saturday
 Here what that little episode cost the steamship company The cost of operating the Alaska amounts to S25O hour Standing idle in Juneau for the eight hours from midnight Friday to a. m: Saturday cost

 The best man was J. Richard Lu- cason, and the ushers were George Gullufsen, Jr., Mario Sodini and James Richardson.
 : Miss Kay Kennedy was the solo ist preceding the marriage cere- mony and Mrs A. M Uggen was organist.
 The McAlister home was the scene Of a reception following the wedding, with a great many friends calling to express their best wishes to the bride and bridegroom.
 The lace-covered brides table with the traditional white wedding cake flanked by white tapers was presided over during the evening by Mesdames Edward Robinson, George Gullutsen, Sr., H. A. Arnold, John Camp and William Ferraro. Miss Elaine Arnold had charge of the guest book.

 Now whether you agree with the Vatican or not, it remains fact that the European leaders of the Catholic Church have to face the practical problem of living in Eur ope ii possible without war raging round their heads. Much of the Church hates Russian Communism, its. leaders also see the United States drifting steadily to the right and Europe drifting steadily to the left with clash eventually inevitable.
 Of course, when people are hun gfy in Europe they are bound to see red and swing to the left. And when people are prosperous in the United States, they become self satisfied and swing to the right. And the problem on both sides of the Atlantic is to prevent the pen dulum from swinging too violently. When it does, people get hurt.

Red Mites Harmful
But Control Possible
Says Poultry Assistant

Red mites, blood-sucking pests
which frequently threaten the poultry
'cck, may be controlled through the
se of carbolineum of creosote diluted
half and half with kerosene. This adj
vice came today from George Quigley
Of the Poultry Department at the
University of Maryland.
The mite is the most dangerous
insect affecting our poultry flocks; in
fact, their attack may be fatal, y
Quigley said. "They may be found in
the daytime in cracks and crevices
near roosts or roost supports. Paint
;ng or spraying of the roosts and the
interior of the henhouse with carbo-
lineum or creosote every six months
will give good control. After the
mites have been eradicated, annual
treatment should be sufficient"
He warned Maryland poiltrymen
that the recommended materials have
a burning affect on the skin and sug-

he has held since the establishment
of the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis in 1888.
His appointment was announced
today by Basil O'Connor, president
of the National Foundation, in an
nouncing the 1913 March of Dimes
campaign would be held January
1880. 1t will mark the tenth ami
versary of the Foundation, estab-
lished by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt to lead, direct and

port of the Foundation.
Former Senator Radcliffe was
Maryland State Secretary before
his election in 1884 to the L. S.
Senate, in which he served two
terms. He is president of the Mary

Mr. O'Connor. in disclosing Mr

impossible, the poultryman may paint
or spray as soon as the birds leave
the building it the morning. At even
ing, all excess material should be
wiped up with a rag before the birds
return to rooStt.
He also explained that DDT is not
effective in control of red mites, but
works very well in getting lid of bed
bugs or lice infestations in the
poultry house. Other materials which
may be used on red mites are kero-
sene, used crankcase oil, or a mixture
of the two. But these do not have the
lasting effect that carbolineum gives,
he said.

Right now there is a great deal of
interest in farm ponds. Almost every
farmer would like to have a pond, for
they can be useful for several pur-
poses. Anyone interested in making
a farm pond should do some careful
planning beforehand A poorly
planned or poorly constructed pond
is almost sure to he a disappointment,
and may be downright waste of
money and work.
The first item to consider is the
use that will be made of the pond:
whether it is for fish production, fire
protection, storage Of stock water or
a combination of the three For fish
production a pond should be at least
one-Qu&rtcr acre in size and should
not have much water flowing thru it.
For fire protection it must be near
enough to buildings and located so
that fire truck can be driven along
side the pond. It's use for stock water
will depend on location and need for
that purpose.
Small dams in streams larger than
small spring-drains are rarely sue
cessful A good dam in stream. with
concrete spillway large enough to
care for flood run-otf, makes the cost
prohibitive. 1t is waste of money to
dam stream unless the dam is
strong enough and the spillway
large enough to take care of the big
gest flood you can expect in 80 or 100
years. You may get such a food next
year.
Usually. farm ponds should not be
built On watersheds with more than
100 acres flowing into the pond. Fifty
or sixty acres is better. 1t is not
necessary to have constant spring
flow. Wet weather springs and stor
age in the pond will carry the pord
thru dry spells. Sod spillways will
take care of the flood run-off from
watersheds of this size, and a tlickle
tube will take care of spring flow and
light run-of.
The construction job should be done
carefully. Ground under the center Of

ALASKA'S HOUSING 50% SUB STANDARD
 CLAIMS AHA HEAD

! Sanitation, housing, sewage dis | posal and safe milk were topics covered at this mornings session of the Public Health Institute now being held at the Scottish Rite Temple.
 In a paper specially prepared 1 for the institute, Wendell P. Kay Executive Director of the Alaska Housing Authority, called attention to the severe housing shortage in the Territory Not only is the quantity of housing appallingly in sufficient, but the quality of the housing is almost uniformly bad The Department of Health esti- mates that at least one-half of the housing in the Territory is sub standard. A survey by the Depart ment has shown that 45 percent of the buildings in the City of Juneau are rat-intested and insanitary. It has been estimated by MT. Harold B. Foss, architect, that approxi- mately 50 percent of the total dwelling units in Juneau are be- low standard.
 The intimate relationship be- tween poor housing and poor health is obvious. Surveys repeatedly re- veal that areas of bad housing have higher rates of disease, delin- quency and crime. Among the fac tors responsible are lack of sun light, overcrowding, dampness. filth, poor water, and decay of buildings. Overcrcy ding increases the incid- ence of diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles. infantile paralysis, and many other contagious diseases.
 Alaska. with her Vast resources and tremendous potentialities will be undergoing an extended period of intensive development for the next decade or more. It is safe to predict this development will occur regardless of the housing situation. Unless there is consid- erabie immediate improvement with
 
 regerd to housing. that develop ment will be accompanied by a frightful amount of misery, disease, discontent. and economic waste"
 Kay closed by saying, The com munities of Alaska must begin to plan to alleviate this intolerable condition. These plans must take into consideration a considerable growth in population, industrial and commercial establishments and transportation facilities and have a view toward the elimination of substandard housing and the con stant improvement and growth of pleasant, sanitary, and esthetic res idential areas. If proper surveys are undertaken and plans carefully laid, considerable progress in the improvement of Alaskan housing can te made under the termSAos the United States Housing Act of 1887 and other supplementary legl5- lation.'
