1--WE the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Reports from college campuses
all over the country indicate that
job prospects for tbs years grad
yates are better than usual.
Many young men and women
getting their degrees this month
face no more difficult problem
than making a choice from a
number Of offers. It's wonderful
for them to be graduating into a
world that needs their education,
training, and ambition. But this
hasn't always been the case.
Some men and women remem-
Der graduating into a world that
was not the least impressed by a
college degree. Some found even
a hard-won advanced degree had
little bargaining power.
Five or ten years later these
graduates were still hoping for a
chance at the kind Of good jobs
today's college-trained people are
grabbing off without experience.
So remember that, Class Of 1947.
Remember it so that you'll
know you have something
good, something worth your best
efforts. Remember it SO you will
settle down to make the best OF
the job you choose, instead OF
wondering whether it might not
have been wiser to have taken
one Of the other offers.
You have worked hard for your
training. Harder, educators say,
than college students have ever
worked before. So you deserve
the best. But don't take this open
armed world too much for grant
ed. Make a good, secure place for
yourself while the welcome ma
10 still out.

Spaghetti Grown on a Garden Vine
BY DEAN HALLIDAY
Distributed by Central Press Association

1t will grow in any ordinary gar
den soil and each plant produces
from six to 10 bright yellow, OBJ
long fruits about 8 to 10 inches
long. Each fruit is filled with a
spaghetti-like pulp, as illustrated
in the accompanying Garden
Graph.
Vegetable spaghetti is prepared
for the hble by picking a we'll
ripened squash and boiling it
whole for 80 minutes. Then cut it
open, remove the center core, sea-
son the mass of spaghetti-like
pulp with salt, pepper and butter,
ana replace in the oven just long
enough for the "spaghetti' to
brown. A dishful of delicious vege-
table spaghetti" is a good keeper
and can be stored for over-wmter
use.
The Butternut squash is a new
type of squash which produces
bottle-shaped fruits about II
inches long, as illustrated. The
upper or neck section is about
3 IL inches in diameter and OF
solid flesh, entirely free of seeds.
All of the seeds are contained in
a small cavity in the globular
bottom Of the fruit. This leaves
about 80 per cent of the flesh OF
the squash for cooking use.
The flesh Of the Butternut
SQUASH is orange in color, sweet
and firm and makes delicious
pies. This squash is also excellent
for home freezing.
Butternut is considered to be
immune to attacks by the squash
vine borer, and it is also recon-
monded for winter storage.

To Observe Week For State Tax Rate Set
Handicapped Persons at lib for l948

Employers and Give leaders of the
county are again being asked to par
ticipate in the National Employ the
Physically Handicapped w e k
which has been designated as the
week of October to IL.
The Oakland office of the State
Employment service is stressing the
need for employers to hire handi-
capped workers whenever possible.
Plans are being made for window dis
plays and other activities which will
call attention to this program.
Employers here are being asked to
observe the week in a specific way
by listing their job opening with the
Employment office which qualified
handicapped persons can fill.
Objectives are: to promote en-
ployer acceptance of qualified handi-
capped workers, to find jobs for ap-
proximately 100000 handicapped
workers who are unemployed, to safe
guard the Jobs of employed handi-
capped workers and to effect job ad-
justment to insure proper placement
on the job, TO promote rehabilitation
and training for jobs for a million
handicapped persons not in the labor
force, but who can be prepared for
employment, and to inform all
handicapped persons of services
available to them.
Handicapped persons may be dis
abled veterans of the world wars,
persons injured in industry, persons
injured in the homo, traffic, farm,
and other kinds of accidents, persons
disabled by illness, and persons born
with Affections.
Milbuln w. Mann, head of the local
employment office, said that the evil
dence was overwhelming that handi-
capped workers, when properly pre-
pared for and placed in jobs, are as
good or better than nondisablcd
workers on identical jobs.
Mr.. Mann said that his office
placed 1877 persons in jobs in Sep
tembcr, 81 of these in construction
work. Fifty of the total were
veterans.

State tax on real estate and per-
sonal property for the 1948 fiscal
year has been set at rate of lib
cents on each 500 Of assessable prop
erty, James j. Lacey, state comp
troller announced.
Lacy explained This unusual rate
is due to the fact that in addition to
the regular levy of 10 cents, as
passed by the General Assembly for
1913, the tax was increased to take
care Of two special bond issues"
The two special issues, passed at
the last session, also provide for .O3
cents on each 500 assessment for the
armory loan of 1947 and 1.10 cents
on each 500 for General Construc-
ton loan of 1947. These two issues
will be serviced by the lib cents
provided under the additional levy, it
was explained.

KNOW YOUR LEGISLATOR Today:
 ANDREW MERlAkD

Born in Molda, Norway, on April 18, 1870, Andrew Nerland got spring fever some l8 years later and mil grated to the United States via Quebec to visit relatives in Min nesota and Dakota. After several years spent in Minnesota he be- came restless and travelled West to Seattle where he learned the paint ing and paper hanging trade.
 Later, while pursuing his business in San Francisco, he became in- terested in painting contracts in Guatemala and was persuaded by former partners to join them in that Central American city. This he did in 1895. Yellow fever was rampant and life primitive, how ever, and after year and a half of contract work, young Nerland decided there was more to offer in the United States, so returned by way of San Francisco to the Gate way City.
 He had not been in Seattle long when the first boat arrived from Alaska with a million-dollar gold cargo. People, aroused to fever pitch by news of this fabulous strike in the Klondike, surged northward and with this adven- turasome group came Andrew Ner- land! He arrived in Juneau and going on to Skagway early in the spring of 1898, started over the old Dyaa Trail just after the tragic slide that took the lives of some @ persons.
 Persuading one of his Guatemala partners to join him, Nerland op- ened up a painting and papering shop in Dawson, and then return ed to Seattle in 1899 tQ marry his childhood sweetheart, Anna. Af- ter 8 honeymoon to Norway, the young couple returned to Dawson 1 to make their home. It was there that their only son, Leslie, was bern. About 1904, they decided to expand their business so the Ner- land family moved to Fairbank where their present business was established as well as branch stores n Iditarod and Nenana.
 One Of the early mayors of Fair banks and former city councilman,
 lands background served him wcH when he was elected as Rep rescntatiye ill the 1917 Territorial House. Tn the 1921 session he was ch1s-n aker cf tee Eoure and .u this E taentA Session, he has te ronor of presiding as President O. the Sereta. All tod. MT. Ner-
