 Under heading No. l, Albrecht stated that communicable disease control costs are going up. due mainly to influx of large numbers Of people from Outside. He point cd to last years serious diphtheria outbreaks. Venereal diseases are also becoming a greater problem not only in Alaska but throughout the world.
 The Nursing and Sanitation pro- grams will cost the Territory more than they did through the war years because of the termination of U. s. Futile Health Service ac- tivities which took over a grea. part of the load during that per iod.
 An orthopedic survey last sum mer of 200 crippled children show ed 69 of them needing immediate attention. Of the 200, 85 were whites, the rest natives. For care of the 89 cases, S70,000 is asked for the biennium. which will be matched, two-to-cne, by the Fed eral government as are most costs except for the tuberculosis pro gram.
 The Territory now has 26 crip- pied children being cared for in the States, at costs running $9 to s10 or more per day. It is now planned to transfer as many of these cases as possible to the new ANS hospital at Sitka, where an orthopedic surgeon is to he em- ployed and where per case per day cost to the Territory will be only $5.75.

 We know we had to reduce coats to sell this year, and we are not going to set caught again, enc retailer said
 Tat sentiment is said to be general at the retail level, although seine estimate that prices will be 10 to IS percent higher than those prevailing during recent sales.
 Some of he trade feel that raw skin prices have advanced too fast They attribute the current upward trend to speculative buy ing, and predict another drop-oft in prices of 10 to 15 percent in the near future. Such a drop, one spokesman said, would bring prices clcsa to the l941 level

 The championship contest was hard fought from start to fin- ish, with the Vikings playing much mere as a team unit than they did the previous evening TEeir shooting, too, was improved over that on Thursday night
 The Juneau players were out to win very definitely, and they did just that as they took first a six, then a nine point lead at the half time; ran that to l9 at the third period and then the final 3l point lead
 Aase and O'Conncr both did some very fine shooting in the game on the long ones, and Mead and Merritt got numker close in and elsewhere. Even low man Jim Rude had 10 points for him. self. Meads 19 tallies were all made during the last half of the game. cxo -pt for one bucket in the opening quarter

 Bodies of the three were found when rescuers fell through a deep drift to the top of a snow-buried truck.
 A ski patrol found IT persons huddled around a small stove in the trailer, but others had to be dug out of deep drifts and car ried from their cars on toboggans and automobiles to safety.
