22o J0B-5EEkER5I ARE LISTED; MANY SkILLS REPRESENTED

With 220 jobless men registered with the Juneau office of the Alaska Territorial Employment Service, Gus H. Gissberg, manager today issued plea to prospective empowers not to send outside for labor"
 Most of the job-seekers are skilled men, and have lived here a year or more, he said. Migratory workers are definitely" in the minority he declared.
 For this time of year, the num- Der Of jobless is not unusual, Giss- terg pointed out, but is merely a local example of the peaks and valleys of Alaskan employment.
 Skills of those registered include those of carpentry, auto mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic and op- orator, mach hist, administrative secretary, aeronautical draftsman, powderman, a coun t a t, truck driver, electrical engineer, ware houseman, salesclerk, telephone operator, skipper, toat engineer, and deckhands.
 SEASON LATER
 A late start for seasonal indus tries in the area this year, Giss- terg said, has kept many seasonal workers employed longer than usual, but layoffs and force re- ductions are now reflected in num- Ter of workers available for work now and during the latter part of August.
 At that time, only Is men were registered with his office, he said, who were out of work.
 He stressed to Juneauites the im- portance of hiring local men, rather than seeking men from outside" :"
 There has been at times in re- cent years" he pointed out, "a ten dency of both private and gov ernment employers to recruit new workers from outside Alaska, when it appeared no qualified workers were available locally. With the present number of skills represented by local applicants, the service urges employers to use its taciii- ties.
 World War II veterans registered with him number 60, he said. He called attention to legislation giving qualified veterans preference in government jobs.
 Among those on the interviewing staff are Cort Wingerson and Jack Sturtevant, both of Juneau.

POPULATION CENSUS PLANS DISGUISED AT
 MEET THIS MORNING

Plans for the forthcoming popu- lation census of Alaska were dis cussed when Bureau of Census rep resentatiyes met with Territorial officials in the Senate Chambers of the Federal Building this morn- ing.
 The population census is set to begin April l in the continental United States, but at the meeting this morning there was talk of mov- ing the starting date forward in the Territory to avoid difficulties which would be encountered if t were begun after the spring break up.
 An inventory of Territorial hous- ing and agriculture, as well as population, will be taken in the census, Clarence P. Heating, Alaska supervisor of the bureaus activities, said.
 Territorial officials were asked to give advice for planning and carry ing out the enumeration.
 Bureau of Census representatives present were Heating. John M Bell, assistant chie1 of the field division, Gene H. Harris, area su- pervisor; Mrs. Bonnie Jo Gronroos, assistant supervisor in charge ot  Alaska's First Judicial Division; and Paul Solka, assistant supervisor in charge of the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions.
 Territorial officials included Frank A. Metcalf, Territorial Con- missioner of Education; Acting Governor Lew Williams; and M. P. Mullaney, Territorial Tax Commis- sioner.

 field is thinking his way through every move before he makes it, as did his former passenger, Pat ODonnell, he too may walk into civilization through the rugged wilderness country of the Tal- keetna. Brownfield has been miss ing for II days)
 . On his long journey of nearly a month, Pat O'Donnell made de- cision after decision, talking it over with himself first and esti- mating results of every possible choice of action.
 Moreover, he preserved his. fine. sense of humor, as evidenced in his own informal account heard today by tape recording at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club.
 Pat O'Donnell tells his story along naturally, kind of thinkinf aloud all over again, as he re- climeed mountain after mountain, descended into gorge after gorge, slipped and rolled in mountain streams, all the time wearing plain leather shoes.
 He and his companions had gone out to hunt moose and caribou, then became separated before they even got started. When he realized that he was lost, Pat climbed the nearest mountain-and there Was a whole herd of caribou, which he didn't dare shoot for fear of hav-. ing to use his last bullets. However at 40 feet, he did shoot a big fellow that charged him. So he had meat for as long as he could carry it.
 After nearly three weeks, O'Don- nell reached the first of three cabins he was to use, all belonging to Oscar Vogel. From the third one. it took Pat four days to climb ana wade until he reached another tent and cabin, where there were really fine supplies T just sat down and really had feast" he said.
 A long trek remained, during which he had a narrow escape while crossing a stream on a tree that beavers had felled.
 Tn the maneuvering," he said, my gun slipped around and caught, and I was left dangling over the water by one arm and one leg. I finally worked my toes around to form a hook, and I'll let my blanket weighed ten pounds" By now, he was seeing airplanes
 But I got so excited I couldn't sec" Pat recalls, when I heard shots and barking dogs-and then chickens!
 T know I'm someplace, but where?" Pat asked himself. A man appeared, and there were brief words.
 Man, that's the most beautiful face I've ever seen!" exclaimed Pat. The man told me I'd have to wade the river Why, I was ready to drink my way across if I had to-"
 Pat walked into roadhouse near Talkeetna, and made his way to a radio station to send word to his wife. Pilot Hudson picked him ur the next day, "and brought me in free of charge added O'Donnell.
 The lost hunter points real moral in the conclusion of his hour-long recording. "If you go out with a pilot" he says, insist that he file flight plan and stick to it. Then the 10th Rescue Squad can find you.'
 There are other morals, implied ones, in Pats account. Many times, he said, T read in book that =" and then proceeded to act on the advice. Also, there is wisdom in his careful reasoning each time he was confronted with a problem.
 And in every case, he considered the possibility of slipping and breaking leg That would have

Summers here-Tuesday, longest
day of the year with nearly ID
hours of sunlight-14 hours and 81
minutes to be exact-ushering IN
the official season of ice cream,
watermelon and slack s-bathing
suits and vacations, family reunions
and fishing trips wild roses
blooming at the roadside-and fire
flies and mosquitoes-however,
Bluffton hasn't been bothered with
them thanks to ex-mayor Howe who
is waging a battle of determination
against them again this year by
spraying Big and Little Riley creeks
which is a vital community serv-
ice especially in these days of polio
and well stop right here to point
out that this mosquito battle isn't
one man affair-it's something IN
which every householder will have
to take part, shouldering a spray
gun and cleaning up the premises
of breeding places of the pests-re-
member every stagnant pool of
water, in old tin cans, plugged up
spoutings or a dozen other spots is
potential source of infestation -.
and that hot spell the first of the
week when the temperature shot up
into the upper nineties-and all
that humidity after last weeks
downpours made it feel lot hotter
than it really was-and the corn
crop is shooting up too-thereH be
plenty of knee-high corn by the
Fourth of July, despite the slow
start and wheat fence-high and
turning golden yellow despite the
slow start and the cherry crop
turning a bright red-and if the
birds take some cherries, they're
probably collecting no more than
their reward for destroying lot Of
insects that otherwise might do
greater damage-one noted scientist
once said that if man is ever exter-
minated from this planet it will be
insects that will do the job-so that
bird which alights in your cherry
tree is helping fight your battle and
treat him as a friend and ally . .

-. some of the boys are taking to
beard trimming, but most of them
just let 'em go =. Buttons two
soft ball teams getting off to a
slow start in league play-here's
hoping for better days.
As an example of unalloyed hap
piness and complete bliss we nomin-
ate the barefoot six-year-old who
strobe nonchalantly past the Bluff
ton News office Tuesday with the
limb of a tree for a fishing pole and
six inch catfish dangling from a
stringer-bet when he grows up and
has box full of fishing tackle he
will never feel as happy over his
catch.
And speaking of fishing the north
Michigan and Canada vacation spots
are a lot nearer than they were
since the boys are travelling by
plane. There's some talk of getting
local anglers to pool their interests
and establish a landing field at a
Canada lake.
There's always a bright side to
everything-imagine if you can
what a mess there would have been
after that three days rain from
Wednesday to Friday last week if
there were no concrete sidewalks.
Old-timers say that back some sixty
years ago mud was axle deep on
Main street in rainy weather and
transportation was just a series of
splashing from .one mudpuddle to
another. Business places had board
walks in front of the stores which
! served as more or less secure foot
| ing in wet weather.
One of the greatest problems of
the town council in the sos was to
| deal with hogs which found their
favorlte spots in the mud holes on
Main street. The problem was fin
ally solved in 1906 when Main
street got its new look with a spick
and span brick pavement which was
later torn up in 1927. One by one
streets of the town were hard sur
faced until today practically all are
hard topped-with wet or dry
weather making little difference in
| travel.
One of the '49-ers who went west
100 years ago was DR.. John X. MAJ
thews, father of Mrs. Sidney Hau-
enstein. Shortly after graduating
from Jefferson Medical college in
Philadelphia he left with a group of
young physicians for California. In
stead of going west over the plains
they went by sea. Those were days
long before the Panama Canal and
the voyage was around South
America, eventually arriving in San
Francisco from where they went to
the booming gold camps to practice
their profession. Later he returned
to Ohio and died in Ottawa in 1907.
With the '49-er parade coming on
Fourth of July week end, Bluffton
business houses will feature in
their display windows a lot of old
time relics from spinning wheels te
candle molds, setting the stage fo1
a long look backward-and that's
what a crowd was doing reminisc.
ing downtown the other night. AS
we recall some of the gossip it was
back in the days when
The town pump at the side of the
city building was one of Bluffton's
chief sources of drinking water
for long time they had heavy
metal ''tincup' chained to the pumr
and water from the pump drained
into a concrete drinking trough for
horses near by.
