The
C,adGe ReeGe.

Last week the Anchorage Times
reprinted an editorial from the
Bridgeport, Conn, Telegram titled
interior Department Study" The
reading of this editorial filled me
with a deep and abiding anger.
Not because of the article itself,
because it was simply mild OBJ
servation on the activities of the
Interior Department, but because
it is one of a long series of evil
dence that Stateside papers are
considering at great and safe
distance the Problem of Alaska"
At the same time, we receive
news that the possibility Of state
hood is once again postponed to
an indefinite future.
Our petition for alliance with the
rest of the Union reminds one of
the position Of the skinny boy
and the city gang. They will not
accept him as a member until he
has licked the whole gang or the
chief bully. But just let him sud

mitt, then he is eagerly sought
after.
Alaska's baseball bat is well
known to be here through the

have children and a home to care
for. What we want is simply a
chance in these inflationary days
to make our money stretch
farther.
These six rules, which l learned
through experience, will help
start you down the barter road.
I. Make inquiries tn the "neoer-
hurts-to-ask" frame of mind. Bar
ter can be fun - a kind of game
to both parties. The man you
talk to may be delighted with
your suggestion and relieved that
he doesn't have to pay out cash
for the services which you offer.
On the other hand, be prepared
for turn-downs and don't take
them personally. Simply look
around for someone else in the
same field.
Z. Make your offer something
Of a bargain. Don't be too close
a trader. Your suggestion comes
in an unusual form and all of US
are inclined to be dubious about
the new and untried. If you
make the offer sound attractive,
the other fellow may feel he can't
afford to pass it up.
:. Take the iritiatise. Business
men don't come to you for the
simple reason that they don't
know you want to swap your
services. If dry cleaner has a
handful of correspondence to be
typed every week. he will be apt
to seek out a public stenographer.
But if you offer to do his letters
in exchange for dry cleaning,
he'll save money and like it.
4. Be obsersa,st. If you're really
serious about barter and keep
your eyes open. you begin to see
opportunities all around you.
When you note that the dentists
assistant is harassed around the
first of the month, you might
offer to get out the monthly bills,
in exchange for dental work.
s. Be alert TO repeats. If your
barter transaction was a success
for both parties, don't forget to
say you'd like to do it again.
6. When you can't barter for
What you wa,,t, don't let that stop
you. Barter instead for some
thing already provided for in
your budget and reallocate the
money.
Happy bartering! I know you'll
enjoy as much as have the
satisfaction of using. your own
initiative and talents to make
your dollars stretch. The End

year, l went to the manager of
an educational toy store and
offered to make his place known
to mothers groups through pub
licity. My payment was to be
toys. He agreed to try it out for
a few months. After one month,
he found the work so helpful in
bringing new customers to his
shop that he paid me a cash
bonus - proof that you some
times get more than you barter
for.
1t doesn't matter what your
talents are or what your former
occupation. Stenographers, IL
brarians, teachers, technicians,
clerks, researchers, actresses,
nurses and plain housewives, all
can barter. The trick is to be
resourceful at discovering a mar
ket. An artist may do adver-
Using sketches for a speciality
shop in return for merchant

handle the library work of a pri-
vate school in return for her
child's tuition. A former cashier
may volunteer to take over on

restaurant in exchange for din

no limits but your own initiative.
A FlesidA Vacation
WOMEN can use barter more
often than men because their
time is more flexible. yet I know
of several professional men who
have found bartering a godsend.
A well-known Chicago minister
earns a trip to Florida every win
ter by preaching two sermons
there. Aschool psychologists earns
his sons tuition at a summer
camp by visiting the camp on
Sundays to help the counselors
iron out knotty problems that
have developed during the week.
A pediatrician in New Orleans
gave medical care to the frail
child of a woman who sewed
custom-tailored white Office coats
and surgical gowns for him in
exchange. His colleagues began
to order similar garments and
in a few years she installed
power-cutting equipment in
her basement. There two as
sistants help her turn out medical
uniforms. What starts out as a
simple trade can sometimes end in
a remunerative job or business.
But perhaps you. as I, do not
want a full-time job because you

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va, Oct. l4.-tR-Northern and western mine owners said today they would rather have government seizure than to "cut our own throats" by yielding to John L. Lewis price demands.
 If it has to go to government, let it go to government" said George H. Love, chief spokesman for the operators negotiating here for two-thirds of the nations com- mercial soft coal production.
 The average operator is a pretty impoverished fellow" Love told a news conference.
 Lewis yesterday said the 400,- coo striking coal miners would go back to the pits under a bona fide" seizure by the government.

CARNIVAL FOLKS TALK ABOUT THAT
 TRIP TO ALASKA

SEATTLE, Oct. 14.-lRl-The car nival people got almost as big a kick out of watching the Alaska children and natives as the Al askans did in seeing their first carnival.
 Mrs. John Beck, part owner of the first carnival to tour the terri tory, told about it today after her return from the north by ship. Part of the carnival personnel and animals returned with her; part is going down the Alaska Highway.
 The natives came on foot, by barge and by plane to see the carnival, she said
 Tn Juneau, while the men were putting up the merry-go-round, they suddenly missed the horses. We looked around and spotted children walking out the gate with them.
 Four Indians, grown people, travelled 200 miles to ride the merry -gc-round. They arrived on Sunday, when we weren't allowed to sell tickets They were so dis appointed that we started it up and let them ride free to their hearts content
 It was really something" she said, to watch the children's faces. At Anchorage, some of the school children were dismissed so they could watch the rides being assem- hled.'
 There were other angles that in- terested the carnival travellers, too. For example, said Mrs. Beck, money was plentiful and T never saw so many S20 bills in my life"

ANTl-RU5S ARMS
 BILL GIVEN NOD
 BY HOUSE TODAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-lR- With record speed, the House passed and sent to the Senate today bill providing $1,314,0l0,000 to arm non- Communist nations.
 Passage was by voice vote.
 The bill also carries $187, 100000 for new military construction.
 In sending it to the House floor, the Appropriations Committee al- so sent along State Department assertion that Russia no longer can be trusted.
 The bill carries S814,010,000 in cash to help arm friendly nations and s95,000,000 for military pro- jects in Alaska and Okinawa.
 In addition, there is $500, 0,000, ,00O of contract authority for foreign aims and S92,OGo,O00 for the mili- tary projects. This aut h o ri t y amounts, in effect, to telling the of- ficials administering the programs that they can run up debts to that amount and that Congress will pay them.
 In sending the bill to the House floor, the committee made public some testimony it received in secret sessions from high government of- ficials. One of them was Under Secretary of State James Webb who said Russia can't te trusted.
 Other witnesses were Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Defense Secre- tary Louis Johnson.
