"COmbined School Satisfactory Says Educators

SEATTLE, (P)-Two Alaska ed ucators agreed today the consoli- dation of Territorial and Native schools had proven satisfactory.
 'There was great to-do about mixing the children in the same school when the plan was propos- ed," said Dr. James A. Ryan, Ter ritorial director of education.
 "We can say now the fears were not justified"
 He and pr. George Dale of the Alaska Native Service paused here en route to a convention of the NorthWSt association of secondary and high schools at Spokane. With them is Max w. Penrod, principal of Mt. Edgecumbe high school at Sitka.
 Until last year Indian, Eskimo and Aleut children usually attend ed schools of the Alaska Native Service. So far l7 ANS. schools have been consolidated with Ter ritorial schools. Proposals to have the Territory admin ter all schools have been drowned upon because, said Dr. Dale, there is no guarantee Alaska would con- tinue to receive an appropriation from Congress every year"
 "The answer is statehood for Alaska" said Dr. Ryan. "Once we have two Senators in Washington instead of voteless Delegate, Alaska will be in a position to bar gain for it's rightful share of the national budget" ..

 The President favors it, the Democratic platform favored it, the House public lands committee approved it last session and the entire setup indicating it's passage is better htan ever before"
 Bartlett said he would introduce the bill as soon as the 81st Con- gress meets.
 He said he hoped the new House public lands committee would not hold hearings but would adopt the unanimous report of this years public lands group which urged passage of the bill.
 The bill was held up in the rules committee and never reached to House.

Alaska Schools Need $8,OOO,OOO

JUNEAU, (P) - Every single school in Alaska has some particu- lar needs and at least eight million dollars should be spent on a build ing program, Dr. James C. Ryan, Territorial commissioner of edu- cation, believes.
 He estimates the cost pc child per year for the Territory's 10000 school children as approximately $500. Both Anchorage and Fair banks are now on a double shift program, with students taking only halliday instruction, and other cities face the same prob lem, he said.
 Little Federal aid can be ex- pected, and it's up to Alaskans to finance the cost" he added.

Fresh disaster befell China to- day when communist armies, nov ing forward encircled groups of 100000 men defending Ranking.
 A fourth army group previously had been trapped. The bag was from the Suchow garrison which waited too long to leave that guardian city.
 In North China, nationalistS abandoned towns 30 and 40 miles northeast of Peiping without fight. A supply of much needed government aviation gasoline and munitions went up in the smoke of an explosion at Peiping's south field.
 In the face of such disasters, Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek seemed to face an insuperable task in Wash ington to pry out three billion dol lars more aid from the United States. Too many doubters in Washington wanted to know what part of the millions the U. $. al ready has donated has actually gone into the Chinese war effort.
 The United States asked the United Nations to protect the South Korean republic fro m threats of violence and terror from the regime Russia formed in North Korea. The Russians among other things, have armed and trained an army of 100000 in North Korea. It would oppose a force only half as strong should the U. s. quit it's occupation in the Souht.
 The U. N. decided to adjourn it's Paris meeting Saturday or Sunday and reconvene the general assem- bly in New York April 1.
 Two thirds of the office staff of the power company of blockaded Berlin left the Russian sector and reported for duty at a new office in western Berlin.
 Communist politicians, stunned by the 1,33O,82O votes cast Sunday in Western Berlin against them, talked of their own election in the Russian sector. The Russians in both Berlin and Moscow denounc- ed the western balloting. The So- cial Democrats, who have aims like the British Labor party, got about two thirds of the vote and prepared to install a reformed communist, Ernst Reuter-, as mayor.
 The industrial boom in western Germany began levelling off at 46 per cent above levels of June. The American and British zones deliv- cred $62,O0O,OO0 of exports last month, a new record.
 Russian planes flew in all the Allied airlift corridors but stop ped no deliveries of food and coal.

Things To Remember
About Electric Fixtures

Elements: The element (the part
that heats or lights up) of any cleo
trio appliance must be treated with
care. Dropping an appliance is one
of the chief causes of damage to the
element. Even if the wires are not
damaged, they may become crossed
and thus cause a short circuit which
can burn out the element. Never
touch a live exposed element to a
metal object For example, a fork
should never be used to remove a
slice of bread from a toaster-the
tines of the fork may touch the ele-
ment and cause it to burn out. You
can also get serious shock this way.
If the element of any electric ap-
phance touches the metal frame, the
frame can act as an electrical con-
ductor. 1t will produce a shock, or
it may even start fire. Never al
low the element of any appliance to
come in contact with water. If the
element in any appliance has been
damaged. take it to an electrician for
repair.
Hand Irons: Never keep an iron
plugged into an outlet when the
iron is not in USE 1t is not sufficient
to turn off the Switch-you may
think you did when you really didn't
An iron should not be plugged into
a lamp socket. Most lamp sockets
are not intended to carry enough
wattage to heat an iron, and the
iron probably won't heat as well as ii
should Always be careful not to
drop an iron and always repair the
cord as soon as the insulation begins
to wear
Vacuum Cleaners: If vacuum
cleaner causes spark or burns out
a fuse when it touches a radiator
or water pipe, it is sign that some
thing is wrong. In any event, the
cleaner should be checked by an
electrician before it is used again.
Shock Hazards: Water is very
good conductor of electricity. It is
dangerous to handle any electric ap-
pliance, pull cord, press a button
or turn on any electric switch with
wet hands. Never pull a light cord
when you are in the bathtub. Never
touch a water faucet and turn on q
light or touch an electric appliance
at the same time If there are small
children in the family, protect wall
outlets with caps made for the pur-
pose so that probing little fingers will
not receive a shock.
