Suggest Mounted Police" For Use
 In Alaska
(By Charles D. Watkins)

0P)Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON (P)-A constab- ulary for Alaska, along the lines of Canada's Northwest Mounted Police, has been recommended tc Congress to meet the Territory" need for law enforcement.
 The recommendation, by s A. Andretta, administrative assistant to the attorney general, was re vealed when testimony on the jus tice departmeh appropriations bill for the year starting July 1 was made public.
 Two of the larger communities, Fairbanks and Anchorage, have local police, but their jurisdiction is confined only to the city limits" Andretta told the committee.
 "The result is that houses Oi prostitution, gambling and liquor joints located in the enVirOns Oi the city, are out of the jurisdic- ton of the city police and come under the marshal's jurisdiction.
 "There has been developed, ali ter considerable study, long term program relative to expand ing not only the highway police and the marshal's staff, but Creat~ ing a Territorial police force akir to the Royal Mounted Police of Canada"
 Andretta said the plan had been worked up with the interior de- partment and that it would re quire money-a lot of money"
 He said that as a temporary so- lution it had been suggested that marshal's staff in Alaska be in creased and they be provided with automobiles, but the budget bur eau had refused to sanction the proposal.
 There is a feeling" he said, that things have been out of hand in Alaska for a long time and they look to the marshals as chief law enforcement officers in the Terri tory"
 Andretta said there are 40 mar shaIs in Alaska and they are not able to handle those matters that should be handled by the local po- lice forces.
 "A state constabulary is the ans Wer," he said

Tropical Island Life Cannot Beat Life I'm Alaska

SPOKANE, (P) - People have long dreamed of life on a tropical island. Mrs. Daniel Armstrong, 23, says life on an Alaska island is worth dreaming about, too.
 Mrs. Armstrong and her hus- band and year-old son have been living on Mary Island, Is miles south of Ketchikan, for six months. Armstrong, coast guards man, is one of three lighthouse tenders on the 28 square miles of land.
 The Armstrong's neighbors on the island consisted of one other couple, a single enlisted man, a pack of wolves, a few deer and millions of gnats."
 The only time-marker in the is land life was the mail-boat which arrived once a week with fresh meat, milk and vegetables. Time seemed all in one piece. There were no distractions" said Mrs. Armstrong.
 What can you do on a northern island? Mrs. Armstrong found amusement enough in fishing clam digging, sewing, watching the boats go by, reading, listening to the radio and playing cards. Ii she wanted to go to town, shed just hitch a ride on a boat. ! COldest temperature last winter was 28 above zero, but the wind made it seem colder"
 Mrs. Armstrong said her baby ! didn't get a cold all winter. | She hopes Armstrong, who is a U. s. coast Guardsman will have isolated duty for several years more. After the baby reaches school age i've will have to be near a school"
 Mrs. Armstrong says it's only the single men who don't like such an island existence. They like to be doing things and going places. They don't ap- prec;ate the peace of living with out dist-ictions," she said. i Mrs. Armstrong is in Spokane visiting Armstrong's parents, Dr and Mrs. Fred V. Armstrong. Af- ter, Easter, she and her husband will go to Point Retreat, another lonely island in the inside passage to Alaska where Armstrong has been transferred.

HIGH SCHOOL

HIGH SCHOOL
 Most wars that United States has been engaged in have com menced in the month of April. That was quite natural because spring operations would begin at that season of the year. We find in history that United States entered the World War I on April Is, 1917. Woodrow Wilson. the President of the United States, tried to avoid war but the ruthless submarine warfare brought us into it. The sinking of the LuSitania was one of the reasons for entering the war. German officers tried to make trouble in Mexico. Mexico had been promised Texas, Arizona and New Mexico if she would join Japan in an attack on the U. s. Propagandists and spies had been stationed in the U. s. They tried to stir up labor trouble in American industry.
 April 5th will be long remem- bered at Nome High School. At three o'clock, books were put aside. There was a period of si- lence broken by the approach of a huge birthday cake all agloW with candles and bearing the name June Dunbar, fifteen. H a appy birthday was sung and delicious ice cream of two varieties was served with the cake. Games com pleted the hour of pleasant re- treatments.
 The seniors have received their graduation announcements.
 Members the the school play are rehearSing at eight o'clock in the. morning. The play will be held on April 2lSt.
 Word from George Bourdon, who is attending Dunwoody Insti- ute in Minneapolis states that he has seen his first electric storm. The first bolt of lightning he saw scared him. Heavy rains followed the electric storm.
 Because the direction of the earth's axis in space in changing, the north celestial pole is slowly moving amongst the stars in a small circle. It will complete the circle in 25,900 years. About B. C. 5000, Alpha Draconis was the pole star; and l2,000 years from now, Vega, Alpha Lyrae will have the distinction of being the pole star.

Far too many of your dreams
have a habit of vanishing into thin
air. But hat doesn't have to happen
to you. You can hold onto your
dreams and have them come true at
just the right time to enjoy them
most. The answer is-Invest in u. S.
Savings Bonds. They are a sure,
safe investment, for your money
grows and in ten years you get back
81 for every SO you put down now.
There are two automatic ways of
getting onto safe financial ground
and that is through the Payroll Saw

Laurel, by June IL.
Laurel outlook., 1949-06-01

Growers are to be congratulated on the use of me
chancal techniques for destroying weeds and reducing the
population of both weeds and surplus beets. Remarkably
fine cultivating is evident on hundreds of farms, with
farmers cutivating slowly and very carefully, close to the
row and eliminating all weeds between the rows.
Finger weeders, cross-blockers and down-the-row
blockers are being used effectively to reduce stands and
enable the beet workers to complete their task easier and
faster.
Laurel outlook., 1949-06-01

termination stands are such that in most areas 1t
is possible to obtain a thinned stand containing at least 100
beets in 100 feet of row - which means an average spac-
ing of 10 to IL inches between beets. The advantages OF
this spacing will produce very high yields with close spac-
ing. All record-making yields of recent years some at
the Bottom level have had harvested stands approaching
the ideal of 100 beets in 100 feet. Some have exceeded this
plant population.
