 TO H0ME57EADING
WdsiIIa Goose Bay Region fo Be Made Available
 Next Spring

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-IR-- Secretary of Interior Krug said today 45,O0o acres in Alaskas Mat anuska Valley--nsar the ghost town of Knik will be opened to home stealing next spring.
 The District Land Office at An- chorage will start accepting appli- cations from war veterans October IT.. The general public may apply after next January IS. Actual settlement will be permitted six months after applications are ap- proved
 Krug said most of the land is unimproyed but suitable for farm ing.
 This IS Tn contrast With 2,750.000 acres of public land along the Alaska Highway, upon which settle ment may begin October 2. The newly opened highway lands are non agricultural.
 The new Matanuska homesteads may not exceed 160 acres. The proposed homesteads are in the Wasilla- Goose Bay region, in the northeastern end of Knik Arm. AS miles from Palmer, headquarters of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation farm cooperative pro ;oat or 1S ,,,i,,,,tec hv pla,oa from Anchorage, The Alaska railroad crosses the northern end of the area
 Krug said the decision to open the area to settlement was based on land classification reports show ing that the area is suitable for farming and is needed for further development of the Valley.
 The Bureau of Land Management said the area is sparsely settled. partially because the original Matanuska development in 1885 drew settlers away from the Wa silla- Goose Bay region. { The Land Management Bureau said in a press statement that it will be necessary for persons plan ming to settle in the region "prac- tically to start from the ground up for there is no housing avail able and very little of the land has been cleared

LISTENERS HELD BY LECTURER ON
 CHRIST. SCIENCE

Speaking on the subject Christ ian Science: Practical Religion, ' George Charming, C.S.B., of San Francisco, member of the Board cf Lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass, held the audience attending the free lecture. on Christian Science given here last evening at the 10. OF, Hall.
 In substance, Charming develop ed the thesis that.
 Out of the wreckage oi war will come, for those with spiritual eyes to see, a clearer sense of
 Spirits indestructible substance. For, trust in materiality will have been more clearly exposed for the folly it is. The only thing that can ever be destroyed is material sense and its objectification, mat ter, or. materiality Material sense, by the law of God, destroys itself It suffers to it's own destruction. Mortals will seem to be the suf- ferers in the degree that mortal sense is permitted to stand unblot- ted out by spiritual understanding. Spiritual understanding having been employed only too little, war. in it's bitter ways, has done it's part to strip mortal mind of its
 falsely apparent trustworthiness and compel recourse to Spirit, which blots out mortal mind. We can improve this lesson, if we will. We can build a better world, if we but seize upon and make real to our consciousness the spiritual fact of whatever the material sen ses behold of carnage and the results of carnage The spiritual fact opposing loss is gain-gain in perception of true Icing The spiritual fact opposing ugliness is Beauty. The spiritual fact opposing confusion is order. Tie spiritual fact opposing folly is wisdom. The spiritual fact opposing death is life. And this construction, this gain, this beauty, this order, this wisdom, this love, this life, must become apparent through evidence understandable even to what is called human sense. For Mind the omnipotent source of all spiritual reality, nut not should, nor can, but musD have it mani festation"
