 Ceiling -scraper on the 1949 squad IS Dick Hansen, five foot ll-incher who plays forward in spite of his ceing the tallest man turning out.
 Juneau High Schools champion hip squad of last year, which won 26 games and lost only six, was broken up by graduation and emi- ration. The team won the Northern Division Championship and then the Southeast Alaska champion hip. 1t was beat out by one game or the Alaska championship.
 Bill Sperling, letterman guard, s one of the men lack from last ears squad. And two-year letter. nan Dave Graves should be back on the floor for the first game.
 Nickel said that his new center Ilroy Ninnis is showing a lot of promise; and he has three other nen working out who were on asst years squad: Don MacKlnnon, Rod Pegues and Ralph Treffers.
 Biggest difficulties facing the quad are lack of trained reserves and that shortage of altitude

JUNEAU YOUTHS 10 HAVE WINTER
 OF BASkETBALL

Grade school and high school youths will be playing basketball four nights each week in the A.B. Hall due to the efforts of seven Juneau men and the cooperation of the City Council and local mer- chants.
 At the city council meeting last night, Ed Nelson, representing the group of Juneau men, asked the council for use of the top floor of the hall.
 He said he and the other six men were definitely interested in pro v.ding the grade and nigh school age youths of the city with place in which to play basketball with out cost to them or their parents. He requested the council to make the hall available to the boys ana pay the light bills.
 Pointing out that one of the members of the group would super wise each nights play, he sald' were doing this without any re- ward except the satisfaction we receive from knowing the boys who couldn't afford to pay for use or a floor or purchase of equipment will have somewhere to play dur- ing the winter. We think the clty should help"
 He said that plans were to hays the sixth grade age through hlgA school age, with Fridays reserve for the youngest group.
 Although the group believes l, will take more than $50 worth O equipment to get the activity unoe way, Nelson said a few city mer chants had volunteered to buy bali for the group
 After Neilson's speech to th' council, that tody swung into ae- ton. It was moved that the tol floor of A.B. hall be made avail able for use by the grade anu high school age boys.
 The motion passed unanimously Then several of the counc,lmei volunteered to buy basketballs.
 Walter D. Field, local paintina contrctor who was at the councll meeting, told Nelson to call on hln to paint the lines on the floor.
 Nov all we need is four basket and backboards,' Nelson said satisfied with the progress towarC the goal of providing Juneau youth with winter activity. Ii seemed certain that small matte of baskets and backhoards woulc be taken care of.
 Besides Nelson, the group work ing on the project are Jack Martin Marshall Irwin, Jack Gould, A Bloomquist, Tom Power, and Ches- ter zenger.

Truman Optimistic For Continued U. s. Prosperity
(By Francis E. Le MaY)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman's confident forecast of continued prosperity brought this reaction today from his Capitol Hill critics: the best way to help the nations business is to leave it alone.
 The President also renewed his request yesterday for four bil- lion dollar tax booSt--a proposal which appeared to be picking up support from Democrats, but only if necessary to keep the treasury out of the red. There is a lot of opposition, however.
 MT. Truman told his Thursday news conference current price drops are only the leveling-o off that everybody has been hoping for, and he spoke confidently of the business outlook. He said the business situation is nothing to be alarmed about.
 Some critics agreed that the levelling off is healthy. But they said the Presidents economic con- trol program, if approved by Con- gress, might turn a healthy re- cession into depression.
 While MT. Truman took the economic temperature, there were these other developments:
 1. Buying interest in the New York stock market sharpened yes terday and the market moved ahead for the best overall advance in six weeks.
 ?. At Cleveland, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad announced tenn porary layoffs for more than 4,000 employees in four areas. A spokes- man blamed declining passenger business and slower movement of coal due to a mild winter.
 3. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail road ordered a five-day furlough late this month for 2,521 of it's shop employees.
 4. A majority of the IT private

Fire Does Much Damage At Hawk Inlet Cannery

JUNEAU, Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the commissary and bunkhouse of the large P. E. Harris Co.,, cannery at Hawk In- le., 15 miles southwest of here on Admiralty Island, late Wednes- day.
 The plant itself, valued at sl l,5O0,OOO to $2,OOO,OOO, was still untouched, latest reports said. The burned buildings were south of the main cannery installations and a still north wind was blow ing away from the cannery.
 w. C. Arnold, manager of the Alaska Canned Salmon Industry, Inc, said the fire was still burn ing. He said the main buildings were dispersed so we'll there was a good chance they would be spar ed. No water was available for fire-fighting because of a freeze up.
 The plant is one of the largest in Southeastern Alaska. First re- ports said only a caretaker and his wife were stationed there

grass protects your soil against wind and
water erosion. When you have improved
pasture, or range, good livestock and a sound
conservation program, you have a profitable
combination.
Many new grasses have been developed in
recent years. Several of these promise to
become real m~oney-makers for livestock men.
They outyield old grasses, give a longer
grazing season, and provide better soil pro-
lection.
!. Smooth Brome-The Lincoln, Auchenbach
and Fisher strains give higher yields, are
easier established and withstand summer
heat and drought better in the central, east
ern and southern bronze areas.
z. Intermediate Whe0sgrosx-A high-yielding,
sod-forming c-ool-season grass chat is easier
to establish than most varieties. 1t is highly
palatable and does exceptionally well In the
central and northern plains and western
mountain area.
3. Send geographically palatable, espe-
cially well adapted to sandy soils.
A.. Toll Wheosgross-A high-yield cool-season
bunchgrass that does better than other
grasses under alkaline conditions.
S. ky-31 Fescve-High-yielding, supplies
longer grazing, especially good for southern
and southeastern states.
s. Rvssian Wild Rye, Blackwell Strain or
Bluestem and Sweet Sudan are other new
or improved grasses for adapted areas.
Grasses usually give higher yields and bet
ter quality forage when grown In association
with a adapted legume.

TT doesn't take a ''gully-washer" or a
Il goose drownder" to rob you of your
precious topsoil. Bare land, up-and-down-
hill row crops, and over-grazed range all
invite rain to escape without working for
you-and to erode your topsoil away. But
sod or cover crops act like a blotter to absorb
and hold the growth-giving water. Slopes
and hillsides titled ON the contour, with al
ternating strips of crop-land and grass, save
maximum amounts of water, hold erosion
to a minimum. Flatter fields may be sub
surface-tilled to keep the protective rain
absorbing trash on top. Correct rotations
of crops, which include plow-under crops,
will help absorb and hold moisture.
You need lots of water. 1t takes about 300
barrels of Water to groW one busheI of corn.
That's around 625 900 gallons for every 100
bushels. And most other growing plants also
require large amounts of moisture . You
cant control the amount of rainfall you get.
But you can conserve it, so that every drop
does the best possible job of making grass
or crops for you.
AS farmers and ranchers in every state
well know, water has a "split personality"
