MENTAL HYGIENE
We hear a good deal about
Mental hygiene these days and
although we do good deal of
talking about it, not many of us
know exactly what we mean. or
what the ramifications of the SUBJ
ject are.
All of us want to be more
emotionally secure, less tense and
anxious, without fears and UNI
certainties. In other words we all
want to live normal constructive
life, without being burdened with
nervous symptoms that interfere
with our happiness and efficiency.
So we can say that Mental
Hygiene really is that part Of
Public Health and Preventative
Medicine which helps people
achieve these aims. This can be
done in two ways, but both ways
are 50 closely related that it is diff
ficult to talk about one without
including the other.
First we can plan a program
with the goal of prevention of
mental illness. Secondly we can
begin community education pro-
grams, not only for everyone in
every walk of life, but also for
the professional people who deal
with us and our children in other
capacities, such as nurses, teach
ers, recreational directors, en-
ployers, doctors, etc.
This educational program should
be so designed that people will
have much better understand
ing of each other and why they
act the way they do. This is
particularly true because misun-

Alaska Housing Authority Prepares Housing Program

The Board of Commissioners of the Alaska Housing Authority will hold it's next meeting in Juneau,
 February 15, and at that time will
 be available to the legislature for reports regarding the critical housing problem of the Territory, it was announced today by E. Glen Wilder, executive director. At
 tending the sessions will be Father Paul C. O'Connor of Hooper Bay, Chairman; Jake Cropley of Jun eau, vice-chairman; Commission CT Louise Weaver-Miller of Ketch- ikan; Commissioner z. J. Loussac of Anchorage; Commissioner liar old A. Byrd of Flat; and Wilder.
 The Alaska Housing Authority has prepared a housing program which will be presented to the Legislature. The basic purposes of the proposed legislation will be to first offer as much assistance as possible to private home builders and secondly to construct housing projects where private home con- struction is not adequately meet ing the housing needs of the ever increasing demand, according to Wilder. The Territorial program has been drafted to act in conjunc- tion with federal program which Delegate E. L. Bartlett will pre- sent to Congress during the com ing session. Support for both pro- grams has been offered through out Alaska" Wilder said. We are aware of the heavy burdens of the Territory at this time, but we are also aware that the serious housing shortage has reached a stage where we must act rather than just talk about our housing ills, or Alaska will be stymied in it's efforts to develop and expand into new state, regardless of any other factors which could increase

Battle For Negev To Be Resumed

CAIRO, Egypt, (P - Egyptian statements indicated today a re- vival of the battle for control of the Negev desert area and Pleas tines southern coast.
 The government announced Is- raeli troops struck at midnight Monday against forward positions toward Dafa after weekend bonn bardment of Gaza and Khan Yu- his, two Egyptian-held cities with in the Palestine coastal salient which the United Nations allotted to the Arabs.
 The first thrust toward Rafa, an Egyptian air base on the Palestine frontier three miles from the Med iterranean, was repulsed, but the battle is continuing, the war min istry announced. Egyptian war planes strafed 45 Israeli armored vehicles, it said, and burned a ma jOrity of them.
 Foreign Minister Dessouki Aba "a Pasha reported fighting in the Negev desert, which adjoins the coastal strip, increased in weight yesterday. He said the Egyptian position is satisfactory. The Negev situation had appeared to ease last week after a sharp exchange of blows.

SOME TEACHERS NEVER GET TOO OLD TO LEARN

our development Both the federal and Territorial governments must assume their proportionate share o fthe burden" He further point ed out that "the housing program, once put on it's feet would be revenue producing and self-liqui- dating"
 Aids will be sought to financial ly assist private builders with loans. Studies should be made of natural resources and encourage ment given to the production of suitable local building materials. In most localities of Alaska the high costs of building a home eliminate the average person from meeting the problem with home ownership. These costs vary from fifty to one-hundred per cent higher than they do in the Pacific Northwest, the highest cost area in the States. As result, private en- terprise doesn't build the needed housing and large portion of the population of Alaska is either doubled up with other families or otherwise are forced into extreme ly inadequate quarters. Untold thousands more are unable to find satisfactory homes and are forced to love the Territory.
 With the cooperation of private and government home construc- ton this obstacle to progress will be and must be overcome, if Alas ka is to grow" Wilder declared.

have time to grow new wool and
a new hide for winter. Next day
we'd take up the problem of what
to do when a hen didn't give enough
milk for her chicks. 1 gave a lee
tufe on how to get hens to lay duck
eggs by feeding them duck feed.
One day while 1 was out in the
back yard splitting wood, Ray
turned up. He told Mother he had
some duck eggs for sale. She looked
at his eggs, then called Gladys.
'These don't look like duck eggs
to me-" Mother said.
What kind of ducks have you
got?" Gladys asked Ray.
When he began explaining how to
get duck eggs from hens by giving
them duck feed, 1 thought this might
be a good time to visit Phil. Phil
let me drive his tractor into the shed,
and invited me to supper. After
ward he went along home with me
as he had to see Dad.
For once Noakes wasn't there.
When Mother saw me, she said to
Dad, "Your son Bill is certainly a
very progressive young poultry
man."
Dad looked at me uncertainty.
When Mother explained about
Rays duck eggs, Phil coughed so
hard that Dad had to go pound his
back for fear he would choke.
Gladys looked hard at Dad, at Phil
and at me, and after that she would
hardly speak to Phil and me.
DAD GAVE ME strict orders not
to instruct Ray any more on farm
life. 1t didn't matter, as Ray had
gotten so he wouldn't believe the
sun rose in the east if he heard me
say SO.
Phil didn't say much, but I could
tell by how hard he worked and
how he stayed home that he was
taking Gladys unfriendly attitude

into space as if he was pulling out
a problem. I hoped he'd figure out
a way to show up Noakes to Gladys,
1t was bad enough having Phil
act so gloomy all the time, but when
he started letting Ray help him in
stead of me, l felt as though l hao
lost my last friend. 1t seemed as
though everybody was down on nj
on account of Ray: Mother, Dad
Gladys-and now even Phil was OF
Rays side. I'd see Ray cutting seec
potatoes with Phil, narrowing ane
seeding and grinding feed with him
, and I'd remember the old friendly
days when Phil let me farm will
him, and I'd sure wish those Noakes
, had never moved in.

daylights out of the family's shoe

never did come up. Well, it's a
long story, and after thinking the
whole thing over, I've come to the
conclusion that Gladys is probably
as much to blame for the bare strip
On Phil's field as anybody.
Until that city farmer, Joe Noakes,
who came from the county seat,
moved into our community, Gladys
had gone to entertainments, dances,
and shows with Phil all the time.
But when Noakes began coming to
see Gladys, he spoke scornfully of
people who weren't intelligent
enough to be able to entertain them
selves in their own living room with
interesting conversation, but had to
be tearing off here and there in
search of excitement.
Noakes came almost every eve
ming and his intelligent converse
ton about himself and how he in
tended to be the most prominent and
up-to-date rancher in the county
soon drove all but Gladys out of the
living room into the kitchen. For
some reason Gladys didn't seem to
get tired of listening to him. She
said she thought it real nice that
a city man could content himself
with just radio music and home
cooking.
NOWADAYS, WHEN PHIL
asked Gladys to go somewhere with
him, she invited him to sit in the
living room. So Phil came less and
less often. l saw him only when he
came over on business with Dad, or
when I went over to help him run
his tractor or something.
1t wasn't enough that Joe should
spoil home for me, but his kid broth
er Ray had to go and spoil school
for me, too. First off, Ray an
sons in town and could lick any,
body in our school. He almost made
it good, too, until / persuaded Phil,
who had boxed in college, to give
the rest of us a few lessons, and
after that it didn't take us long to
convince Ray that all the fellows
who knew how to box didn't live in
town.
Ray still had to show off, though
so next he began Dragging how hi:
big brother Joe got a scholarship
to the university when he graduated
from high school, only he gave +
