Need For Harmony

Torn by bitter disagreements &
constant friction between the leg
islative and executive branches
Of the government, this munich
.pality has been unable to make
much Roadway during the last
two years, So many Squabbles
took place during that period that
very little time was left to consi-
der the many vital problems
which make life in these islands
undesirable.
It would be very regrettable if
such friction is to continue in the
future, When authorities in whose
hands lies the destiny of the is
lands r unable to sit down and
discuss views, iron out their diff
ferences and arrive at compro-
misses for the good of the great
est number of our citizens, chaos,
confusion and stagnation are in
evitable. This has been the pat
tern of the last two years.
Differences between the two
branches Of government are I'M
avoidable. The executive who is
not dependent upon votes for his
continuance in office has a tend
ency to take a different view on
issues than a legislator who often
has to weigh the political roper
before making a deci-
sion. The differences are few
when both Legislative and execu-
tive branches put the welfare of
the people above all other consi-
d%erations, and refrain from acts
to embarrass each other.
We believe it is quite possible
for both branches of government
to cooperate in pushing for desir-
able measures for the Islands,
without anyone sacrificing his in
tegrity or self-respect, or becom-
ing a sychophant. 1t is foolish and
dangerous for men to blindly and
visciously oppose everything, and
offer no alternatives, simply to
build up the fatuous reputation
for independence. It is time that
introduce some harmony in
our government. That is the only
way we can progress.

Next year, the Commission

In addition, U.N. is studying

the freedom of Information
and of the press. It publishes
a "Y Yearbook on Human

The Specialized Agencies aft

This station is long, narrow
and winding. Here we have
three different groups of work
ers, coming from different
glands into the small intes-
tines. One group of workers
is the pancreatic juice, because
it is made and stored in the
pancreas. When it is needed to
help digest food, it flows into
the small intestines and begin
work on all three kinds Of food
material, carbohydrates, fats
and proteins, changing them
so they will dissolve and be-
come thin fluids.
The second worker in the
small intestines is the bile,
which is made by the liver &
stored in a little store house
called the gall bladder until
it is needed. Bile is very bitter
but this is necessary to work
on the fats so they will dis
solve more easily.
The third group of workers
is the intestinal juice. It's pur-
pose is to complete the change
of protein foods into amino
acids which will dissolve in
water.
After 9 to 10 hours of work
by special workers in the
mouth, stomach and small in
testines most of the proteins,
fats and carbohydrates are in
a thinfluid form and dissolved
in water. The minerals and
most Of the vitamins do not
have to be changed as they
pass along the canal because
they are already soluble in
water. Vitamins A g. D which
are found mostly in fatty
foods are freed when the fats
are split and dissolved.
If we have good teeth,
healthy stomachs and intes-
tines we just eat our lunch &
forget about it. But if we over
work, abuse or damage our
teeth, stomach and intestines
we shall not eat and forget,
for there will be difficulties,
along the journey. Such things
as toothache, stomachache, gas
nausea, headache, diarrhea or

AddEng|iineer ToR REAStaff

D. L. Lowery, field engineer, has been assigned to the Alaskan headquarters of the Rural Elec- trification Administration from REA's Washington headquarters, it was announced this week by H. G. Bryan, local head of REA. MT. Lowery will assist with the engineering work of various Alaska projects during the sea- sons operations just ahead.
 The engineer will be head
 quartered in Palmer with MT.
 Bryan. but will work on the
 engineering phases of a num-
 Der of projects. The length of
 his stay here is indefinite. de-
 pendent somewhat upon the
 future development of REA
 plans this year.
 Asked about REA's plans for the immediate future, MT. Bryan replied that his agency's plan ming had been dovetailed with number of other Alaskan agen- cies, and that an overall pro- gram and budget had been re- ferred to headquarters for ap- proval.
 MT. Bryan did say REA's plans, which cover a five-year period of development in the territory, were small, indeed, in comparison with the planning of other agencies. However, if the proposed budget is approved by Congress as submitted, it will make possible the development of the Eklutna project, he added.
 MT. Bryan, MT. Lowery and Victor Rivers, project engineer for several REA developments, are in Kodiak this week to in- spect and plan for improvement of the plant there.

HOSPITAL HOBBY TURNS INTO VALLEY INDUSTRY

WAS1LLA - A hobby learned by a wounded veteran to while away the tedium of hospital bed now promises to develop into a full-time occupation for MT. and Mrs. Chester Rickert of Wasilla.
 The pair. who are known 10 their Wasilla neighbors as Robbie and Rick. are develop ing one of the Valleys first home industries in the leather work they do in their home.
 They make shoes. bags and anything in leatherwork. but at present they're specializing in individuallY-stYled leather sports shoes of the loafer type.
 The shoes are finished en- tirely by hand, except for the machine stitching of the leather top to the durable composition soles. That work is done Outside by machine, ''because it lasts bet ter that way" Robbie explains. She added that quality and fine craftsmanship are of first inn portance in their work.
 The pair have the old coun- try pride of the craftsman. They never expect to enlarge their output to the point where pro- duction must outweigh the qual- ity of workmanship.
 They have been at work at
Valley frontiersman., 1948-03-17

their hobby-industry for the past two or three months and have finished four or five dozen pairs of shoes, in all. Each shoe has stamped into it's sole their trade mark, "BR Leathercraft of Wa silla." They have lived in Wa silla since January of 1947 and have a home on the shores of Wasilla lake.
 The couple met in Alaska. although they were married in the states. Theirs was a war romance. He was an engineer specialist with Colonel L. V. Castner's Alaskan Scouts. and saw duty al many outposts
 along the Aleutian chain. She was worker with the Ameri-
 can Red Cross. stationed al Fort Richardson in l943.
 They met on their way to the states, and were married shortly after their arrival there. MT Rickert was transferred to both the ETC and CBI war zones. He landed on D-Day with invasion forces and was in constant com. bat until December, when he was wounded.

Workers Rush ToMeet May1 

Working from the top down on the interior and from the bot tom up on the exterior, workers on the Matanuska hotel are en- gagged in race against time these days. They're hustling to meet a May 1 opening date, when it is hoped the hotel will be ready to open it's doors to Valley visitors.
 More carpenters have been
 added 10 the crew already al
 work. and it is expected to in-
 crease the staff even more in the next day or two. Work
 will not be completely in hand
 until "A carpenters are swing
 ing hammers daily al the
 structure. according 10 super
 intendent Jack Stump.
 MT. Stump was recently ap- pointed to oversee the comple- tion of the work at the hotel. He has been in Alaska since the war years, and is a veteran of many recent large construction jobs in the territory.
 Tn the buildings interior, the plasterboard is already nearly all in place, and the work of roughing in the plumbing has been finished. Flooring men ex- pect to begin the job of putting down the hardwood floors in the very near future. After that task is completed, electricians and painters will take over to finish the rooms for occupancy.
 Workers and planners alike are bending every effort to com plete the building by the an nounced date. Tourist travel promises to be a thriving busi- ness in Alaska next summer, and already travel agents have wis ited Palmer to check the pro- gress of work on the hotel and to line up reservations for visiting tours next summer.
 To help push the work. pres
 ident Chek Sandvik of the Val
 ley local of the Carpenters
 Union has requested that any
 union member who is avail
 able for work get in touch
 with him immediately.
 ., MT. Sandvik said employment preference would be given to local carpenters, with additional help coming from Anchorage only when all members of the Valley union are at work.

Alaska Willing To Pay For Statehood Sundborg
IT'S AT LEAST } YEARS AWAY, AT EARLIEST

George Sundborg, executive aide to Gov. Ernest Gruening and consultant to the Alaska De velopment Board, discussed mat ters pertinent to the Valley de- velopment in a three-hour ses- sion Monday with the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Sundborg's recommends tions were essentially those of Gov. Gruening on the latter's recent visit. Gov Gruening told the Valley then to organize into a unit and go and work towards self-help, father than to look to government for continued SUD- port.
 The first part of the discus
 sion was given over 10 dol
 lars-and-cents' summation on
 the cost of statehood in rela-
 lion 10 benefits. MT. Sund-
 borg said he believed the
 county system of state govern
 ment might not be necessary
 in Alaska where costs of that
 type of state machinery would
 be high. However. he pointed
 out that all these matters
 would be decided by vote of
 the people.
 A state constitution would be drawn up by delegation elected by the people and the constitu- tion must be ratified by vote of the people. The very machinery required to establish statehood makes it impossible for the terri tory to begin to function as a state before 1851 or '52 at the earliest, according to MT. Sund- borg.
 Aked what plans had been made to prepare Alaska for statehood, he replied "very lit tle."
 "A bill introduced in the last
 legislature which asked for
 appropriations of S50.0o0 10
 establish a statehood commit
 tee was defeated. Hawaii has such a committee and is con
 ducting studies 10 determine
 the best type of legislation.
 Don Irwin suggested that Chambers of Commerce in Alas ka hold joint meetings in a cen tral location to set up commit tee for Alaska statehood laws.
 Asked what should be the cost of statehood over the present territorial government, the gov ernor's aide estimated it would probably exceed the present cost by about $2,00O,0O0. Several tax plans were suggested which would more than return the ad- ded cost of statehood.
 Everywhere I go, I find peo- pie ready and eager to pay more taxes. I think Alaskans are will ing to assume the costs of state hood" MT. Sundborg declared.
 Referring 10 local problems.
 MT. Sundborg said that no real
 advance would be made in any
 town until the people were
 ready 10 assume civic respon-
 sibilitY.
 "In an incorporated city, your people would make their own decisions on community matters. Through incorporation you run your own affairs and support to a certain extent services of gov ernment which you need for your own advance and progress"
