Brush Fire Sears 16 Acres

Another fire broke out in the Valley last Sunday, when 16 acres of woodland on the B. A. Huebner farm burned during the day. MT. Huebner set the fire to burn brush piles on his farm, and then left it without guard.
 Three volunteers and members of the Alaska Fire Control Serv- ice from Palmer fought the blaze for several hours before it was brought under control.
 Fire Guard Paul Olson warned other Valley residents against negligence in leaving fires burn ing without a guard. "The whole Valley is powder dry right now" he said, "and it wouldn't take much to set the entire country afire."

Air Service Based Here

The inaugural flight of Pal mer Air Service from Palmer's airport last week made aviation history in a larger sense, for it was the first flight on record to go direct from Palmer to Naknek.
 Bob Totten, owner pilot of Palmer Air Service, made it a red-letter day in every respect, when he completed the air jaunt by returning an injured cannery worker to Anchorage for hos pitalization. The man had lost an eye in a plant accident.
 MT. Totten made the trip to Naknek to carry local fishermen and cannery workers to their summers job. He made two trips. Names on his passenger list in- cluded Don Kuoppala, Dorr Hol- loway and Mrs. Ray Sellars.
 The newly-organized flying service has two ships available for charter-a five-place Stin- son and a three-place Piper Su- percruiser. It is expected that one of the ships will be switched from wheels to floats within the next few days.

The Secretary of the Navy has approved the changes recommen- ded by the Uniform Board for the Dress Blue Uniform for enlisted personnel of the Navy. The new Dress Blues will have hip and slash side pockets in the trousers and will have fly front in place of the broadfall front.

BARS JUNGLE JOE" STALIN FROM SHARING ESTATE

PHILADELPHIA (UP) - Kazi- mir Skirvainis, 63, wanted a sis ter in Lithuania to share in his S10,00O estate, but he wanted to make sure that none of it went to Uncle Joe Stalin."
 Skirvainis' will, filed for pro- bate here, directed that his es- tate be divided between his sis ter, Anna, in Lithuania, and a brother and another sister here. However, the will provided that if Anna resides within any po- litical subdivision of Soviet Rus Sia,' the estate would be divided between the brother and sister living here.
 Charles s. Cheledcn, attorney and executor, said that "so far as We have been able to ascertain. the sister. if alive is now in Lithuania and under Russian con- trol.' He added that it would be up to the orphans court here to decide whether any of the money would go to her

family income is wholly sufficient to keep the boys in school with out additional income from their labor-there is no objection to the boys doing some kind of work, but preference should be given to men supporting fami- lies, or who need the work to make a living.
 I suggest as a discouragement to winter migration THAT A BO- NUS OF FIFTY CENTS OR A DOLLAR PER DAY BE PAID TO THE LABORER WINTERING IN ALASKA. A certificate for the amount to be given him at the end of his labor It would be convertible into cash in April of the following year, when present ed with the endorsement of some public official as to winter resi- dence.
 All railroad repair work, recon struction work dna new work, that is not necessary for immed fate use should be done during the winter months so as as to provide work for the many men who are usually idle during the winter; prospectors. cannery work CTS, farmers and road employees. The proposed factory, or cannery, should also be constructed for winter use if possible.

 The idea of establishing a large cold storage plant here to take care of reindeer meat is certain ly constructive. and if built will encourage the grazing of animals

Officials have had plenty of time to show results. They have no interest in the development of the country, only using Govern ment money to please fellow townsmen and bring praise from tourists
 Had the new manager, on arriv- al here, started a general, but gradual. wedding and pruning until he had reached the mini mum force for necessary trans portation. diverting the unneces- sary labor to DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, there would be PROSPERIT NOW instead of the two or three hundred men sud- denly thrown out of work along the railroad.
 Great big, express engines, drawing luxurious steel coaches over a fancy road-bed, at high speed, pull into Seward after the 470 mile trip, WITH LESS THAN A DOZEN PASSENGERS, time after time. Service-service-Y but how ridiculous, to transport a few passengers in royal style on their journey to The Happy Spending Grounds, (Seattle).
 Yes it is imperative that a gen. eral wedding take place, and different crop planted to bring forth fruit.

LETTER
Continued from page :

Alaska and as such their school studies should be selected so as to give them special training in making a living from the raw re- sources of the country. To mine, to farm, to fish. to use forest pro- ducts, should be their future plan. I believe three-fourths of the present education given them is waste of time and money; they are taught too many refine ments, and trained to be dissat- iSfied with the simple life. The manual training courses of ex- pert plumbing, cabinet making. fancy cooking, algebrae, ancient history, dead languages. oratory, piano playing, etc. do not fit the natives, or miXed-blood, to de- velop natural resources of their homeland Some of these insti tutions and schools are training their pupils in soft living, where comfort and luNurieS are the first consideration.
 LABOR
 The practice of hiring boys in their teens in mems jobs, by the railroad and other Government departments, should be discour- aged. Many high school students who come from well-to-do homes are given good positions by the Government during the three months school vacation I know of many instances where the

along the railroad. l suggest that the plans embrace the handling of fish, berries and any other fresh food products on the rail road belt that need cold storage.
 Such a plant would not be self supporting for several years if it's use were confined to shipments on the railroad. But it would be a paying investment on it's com pletion if halibut was handled as other plants do. To engage in local bushes swould not harm private establishments as they could not handle fish brought in here if accommodation was sure, and prices reasonable. So soon as the railroad business was suf- ficient to pay operating expens- es dealing in halibut could be dicontinued.
 APPROPRIATIONS
 As elsewhere, the cry for steady and greater expenditures of Gov 1rnment money will be heard at every point in Alaska, especially people living off this railroad, but IT IS FOLLY to continue to pour MONEY INTO a PROJECT THAT HA STALLED TO ACCOMPLISH IT'S OBJECT IN IN d5 YEARS, UNLESS THAT PROJECT IS COMPLETELY ALTERED IN ITS CHARACTER AND POLICIES.
 It is foolish to keep on spend- ing money year after year to op- crate this railroad IN THE SAME OLD WAY, but to just shut it down. without trying alternatives in operation, or providing high way to take it's place, WOULD BE A CALAMITY TO ALASKA.
 In the many radical changes and extensions of policy l have proposed above. there is call for the expenditure of great deal of money, BUT THEY WOULD BE THE LAST APPROPRIATION NEEDED. It is a question of in vesting an additional amount (but in a far different way than has been done up to this time), or losing all the benefits of the work already done.
 OPERATING EXPENSES
 It is my belief that if this rail road were operated under the policy of NECESSARY SERVICE AND UP-KEEP ONLY, TT GER TAINLY WOULD PAY it's WAY!
 AFTER DEFINITE WORD WAS RECEIVED, that an Investigating committe was coming. hundreds of men were laid off Why? The railroad is running just as well without then which shows that labor was NOT NEEDED, and could have been used with far better results on resource devel- opment.
 NEEDING OUT
 Some department heads of the railroad have been on the job so long that they have lost interest in the country and purpose of this road THERE SHOULD BE A GENERAL NEEDING OUT.

 VOTE ON STRIKE
 SETTLEMENT TERMS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-lFi- Independent marine firemen voted in West Coast ports today on whether to accept an agreement which would end their 92-day strike.
 Union President V. J. Malone recommended acceptance of the pact. It was worked out in nego- tiations with the Pacific American ship-owners Association yesterday
 Malone said he would meet dur ing the day with CIO longshore chiel Harry Bridges and other maritime union leaders to propose working emergency cargo before the strike ends officially.
 Five unions have stood together in the tieup under an agreement that all must have contracts before returning to work.
 A bargaining session between the CIO Marine Cooks and Stewards and the shipowners also was ex- rected during the day. Only the cooks and the CIO Radio Opera tors have yet to settle with the employers.
 The firemen's tentative agree ment calls for a S21 monthly in crease over present varied pay rates, retention of the union hir- ing hall and other concessions.
 Like the pact accepted by the lengshoremen, it would remain in force until June IS, 1851 and would provide annual wage reviews
