Wrath of Anchorage may fall on the Mayor of Seward if he goes to Anchorage again.
 He shipped 20-some-odd alleged "undesirables" back to Anchor age after they had, according to one of the group, been induced to board train for Seward on the Anchorage-ma promise of S2 co per hour plus board and room. The train fare was free. he said. but later all were on the train one of the "cops" told tl.cm they were '"on their own. :"
 While they were here they were fed by the Red Cross and slept in the city bastie.
 The practice of one city clean ing out so-called "undesirables by showing them on to another city is unacceptable and in eX- tremely poor taste.
 If these non who are depend cnt on the city in winter and that cit% accepts the cash they make when they work during the sunmer, some provision sh- ould be made for their care dur ing the time they are not work inc.
 That is up to the locality in Wh ch winter finds them after a eu'nnsc:''s work. but not a whole sala "'vae.nS" of men in q copn- try :0 which work is not to hc had all winter

Anchorage that which is Anchor ages to paraphrase an old classic
 These so-called "undesirables," :" who are just men out of work in cold country, showed they were willing if they had the chance, but with 150 longshore- men out of work in Seward they were just misplaced.
 Their advent in Seward was and is an added expense to an already overburdened city. The Mayor did right, we admit un- grudgingly, in sending the bill for expenses along with the so- called "undcsirablcs' who no doubt will watch their cash next summer and be ready for the winter. but if they do not. they prove themselves unfit for Alaska and should get out if they cant work at a good price every summer and keep themselvs each winter.
 o, Hum same old thing each winter-but we bet Anchorage don't try that one again.

New Drug For
Treatment OF
tuberculosis

New York-A new drug has some
advantages over streptomycin for
treatment of tuberculosis is reported
in the American Review of Tubercu-
losis. The drug is a derivative Of
streptomycin, and is named dihydro-
streptomcin. 1t was developed by
adding a small amount of hydrogen
to streptomcin, the best drug yet
against TB.
The first studies indicate that it
is as effective as streptomycin, but
that it is less likely, in equivalent
doses, to cause bad side effects like
dizziness and sometimes temporary
deafness. Some strains of tubercu-
losis germs are resistant to strepto-
mycin. The new drug does not over
come this disadvantage, for the same
strains resist it also.
The Review is published by the
American Trudeau Society, medical
section of the National Tubercu-
losis Association. The studies were
made at the New York Hospital
Cornell Medical Center here; the
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.; the
Squibb Institute for Medical Re-
search, New Brunswick, N. j., and
the Merck Institute for Therapeutic
Research, Railway, N. ].

TALL TALES
By ELIZABETH WRITTEN

"My wife, she takes it hard" the
man was saying to me, Eyes sir, she
takes Christmas hard. Last summer
she didn't miss a clearance sale buy
ing her Christmas presents and I
thought when fall came she would let
up little, but that's what l thought
Came Halloween she had the house
mussed up with all different kinds
of gift wrapping paper and she was
sick because they had sold out of
the right shade of ribbon. Well, she
wrapped herself to death till Thanks
giving and she's gone in for interior
decorating in a Christmas motif ever
since.
"Just like l told you, my wife she
takes it hard"
He was still talking when l
walked away, but l didn't want to
hear him say she had written her
thank you notes for the presents she
knew she would get and that's all
could think of left to say.
Every time you think you're doing
well on anything somebody has to
ruin it all by being two jumps ahead
of you. Last Thursday was pretty
sunshiny day and l was just feeling
that I had made little headway on
Christmas, after doing a little shop
ping during lunch nour, when I
looked out the window and there
was little girl strolling down the
street in her bare feet. She was
carrying her shoes and grinning.
Here we haven't had very much cold
weather yet and she already had her
mind on spring.
Last year [ was in a store a few
days before Christmas and the clerks
could hardly wait on the customers
for arranging the Easter rabbits.
don't know what they did with their
Valentines unless they put them out
Thanksgiving.
It's things like all this that make
me believe sometime that the older
folks have something when they
speak of "the good ole days."
We have a calendar in our office
with a picture of an old-fashioned
Christmas. The caption is: "America
Has Come A Long Way In The Past
Fifty Years"
There is none of the sophistica-
ton of modern Christmas tree. In
stead the decoration is frankly gaudy
with red lollypops, a bright UNI
brella, shiny drum, all sorts of cornu-
copias, sleds, rocking horse, ETC.
The floor is covered with a bright,
red rug in a floral pattern.
Santa warns his hands by red, |
hot, coal stove and you can almost |
hear him say the old familiar words:
Merry Christmas to all, and to !
all a goodnight"
Now l wouldn't trade the modern
furnace for all the good, old fire
places and stoves, and I have an If
resistible passion for push-button
gadgets that save time and work.
Sometimes l don't know how the
world survived without cellophone,
facial tissues and zippers. In fact
there are more modern things l like
than those l dislike, but the sweet,
traditional observance of Christmas
is to me a wholesome and refreshing
experience.
Selecting gifts for loved ones,
planning visit with members Of the
family and inviting friends in for
the holidays should be a welcome
relief from the tensions of a modern
world, but is it?
The old fashioned Christmas was.
Let's keep it that way.

A number of generalizations handed
out as to you should do this be-

Harry Conover likes girls and
makes no bones about 1t. He should,
after interviewing over $4,000 girls
in the last seven years as applicants
for modelling jobs.
According to Mr.. Conover, there
has been too much overemphasis
placed on modelling as career.
Girls who proved unsuitable for
modelling he often found to be more
personable. alert, quick to take sug-
gestions, and, in general, by far more
interesting to talk with than the
more successful applicants.
What began as question in his
own mind, What is being done for
THESE girls?" gradually evolved
into an idea for program designed
to help young girls with the various
problems that present themselves In
their day-to-day living.
There was no reason why they
couldn't be more attractive on their
jobs. Why they couldn't learn to
have q healthy respect for whatever
Job they were doing or going to do,
rather than looking down on posi-
ton that didn't quite measure up as
fglamorously as modelling. They, too
could enjoy the poise, good groom
ing and charm that would come
with q knowledge of the basic es-
sentials Of fashion ane beauty.
A person who is constantly striv-
ing to improve himself is healthy
person, says Mr.. Conover. And on
this precept he has built the founda-
ton Of his new course.
Mr.. Conover discovered that mosi

How to play up their best points
was another problem that vexed q
great many. Also they wanted tc

All Of these individual problems
that differed with each girl did not

understood that confused thinking

you plenty dissatisfied.
