TEEN AGE CLUB 10 COLLECT OLD SHOES
 TO SEND 10 EUROPE

Have you an old pair of shoes you can spare? If you have, will you please give them to us Sc that we can send them to Europe where many people have no shoes at all?' The local Teen Age Club is asking these questions today of all the resi- dents of Juneau and Douglas. To-
 morrow the teen agers are starting
 an effort to collect shoes that may nc longer be needed here but are desperately needed in most parts of Europe.
 Shoes of every kind and size are what we're asking for" announced Katherine Bavard and Kenny Hildre, co-chairmen of the Teen Age Club committee. "Children's shoes, adults shoes, shoes in good repair, shoes that need to be repaired. we're trying io locate every sort that may be av- ailable. So please look around your house today and let us have what ever you can possibly spare.
 Serving on the committee with Katherine and Kenny are Pat Balog, Willard Prouty, Barbara Reid and Julian Rivers. Any member of the committee will be glad to call and pick up shoes at anyone's house, if the name and address are telephon- ed into the clubhouse (the phone number is 766), or they may be left at the clubhouse on South Seward Street any afternoon, except Mon- day, or at radio station KINY at any time during business hours.
 All shoes collected here will be sent by the teen agers to the Ameri- can Friends Service Committee (the Quakers), who will distribute them in Europe among the families that need them most.

 Thanks to Pan Americans Clip per cargo service, Alaska has caught up with the streamlined living of the USA and the up-to-the-minute devices of civilization are available now on the spot for residents of the Last Frontier.
 Both directly and indirectly, air. transportation with its speedy ship ment of hitherto unobtainabIe nec- essity and luxury items is playingn a vital and dramatic role in the so- cial and business development of the Territory. The everyday life of the Alaskan is being raised to an in- creasingly higher standard as daily his recreational, business and cul- tural activities are affected by the facility with which his needs are joined with these of the States, and fulfilled.
 Even the health of the most iso- lated Alaska communities can be maintained now at an improved level because of the low cost and speed of flying large shipments of drugs and pharmaceuticals, green vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, fresh meats and other protective foods. Where once only dried and canned goods constituted the table fare of most Alaskans, their diet now is the same as most Americans.
 A major influence of the acceler- ated air service provided Alaska by Pan American over previous years, is seen in the stabilizing of the Terri torial population. Industry in Alaska has been always on a seasonable bas- is, and many former seasonal resi- dents who remained in the Terri tory for only those months that business demanded, are content now to stay there the year round.
 Daily newspapers from Seattle ap- pear on Alaska stands on the date of publication; weekly news maga- zines are on sale the same day as in San Francisco.

STURM BLASTS RAMEY FOR
VOTING AGAINST SCHOOL plan

William F. Sturm, seeking the
Democratic Nomination for Con-
gress in the Ninth District, yeSter-
day branded U. S. Representative
Homer A. Ramey's vote to reduce
the Federal school lunch program
appropriation as a vote against
the school children of Ottawa and
Lucas counties.
Mr.. Sturm charged that Con-
gresham Ramey voted to slash
the appropriation assisting stu
dents suffering from malnutrition
despite the fact that the Toledo
Board of Education and other
township boards urged that he sup
port it.
The Toledo candidate said that
reduction of the appropriation from
S75,O00,000 to $65,OOO,OOO cut the
subsidy from lie to &c per pupil
for daily lunches and "cost city
and rural school districts many
thousands of dollars.
"ln my opinion the welfare of
our growing school children par
ticularly those in the thirteen to
seventeen age bracket, is one of
the most important duties a Con-
gresham has to consider" Mr..
Sturm declared. 81 challenge Mr..
Ramey to explain his vote against
our school children.
In his opening campaign speech
es, Mr.. Sturm pledged that, if
elected 81 will determine the wish
es of the people ] represent bfore
voting on any vital issue.
Congressman Ramey makes nc
report to the people of Lucas and
Ottawa counties when vital queS-
tions on which he is to vote arise
and accepts public criticism after,
ward. intend to learn beforehand
what they want.
Mr.. Sturm also attacked the "dc
nothing policy" of the seth Con,
gress, pointing out that the legis,
lators evaded the Housing pro,
gram, Federal Aid for Education
Minimum Wage Standards "anC
passed very little legislation bene
fetal to veterans"

Unemployed Total
Drops In State

COLUMBUS-Renewed business
activity was reflected in the 23,6S9
jobs filled by the Ohio State En-
ployment Service last month, 26
percent jump from the February
figure, Frank j. Collopy, Bureau
Of Unemployment Compensation
administrator, said today.
The Employment Service, a BUC
division, reported gains in the
placement Of workers in almost all
but the professional and manager
ial fields. Greatest gains were in
the wholesale and retail trades,
domestic service and in the metal
and metal products industries.
In line with the increase in the
number of jobs found was a drop
in the number Of persons actively
seeking work through the Employ
ment Service as Of March's end.
The total of Such persons was
S6,365, a six percent decrease from
the preceding month.
More than $4,000 of those look
ing for work were women, a one
percent increase over the total a
month earlier. This contrasted
with the number Of male iob-seek-
ers which dropped 8 percent in the
same period.
Those persons living in one com
munity for whom jobs were found
in another totalled SOS in March,
176 percent jump from the pre-
Ceding month. lnasmuch as the
jobs for which qualified local appli-
cants cannot be found have been
increasing steadily in the past sew
eral months, this inter-area place
ment jump is particularly signiti
cant.
