| OFF The CUFF
BY RAY SPERBER

SPECTATORS as well as grid
ders were battered and bruised
during the Oak Harbor-Por Clin-
ton football game Friday night.
Mrs. Clifford Snider, Erie Twp,
was one of the casualties. A too
jubilant fan, standing in front of
Dorothea, suddenly jumped up
and down and began swinging his
arms. Smash went one arm, di-
rectly into Mrs. Snider's face.
Blood spurted from her nose and
mouth. The suddenly tanned fan
apologized and offered to call a
doctor. When she declined the
offer, he said "Just can't help my
self get so excited" To which
Dorothea remarked: Mister, ! get
excited too, but ! keep my wing
flaps down." Another spectator
casualty was one of the Oak Har-
Dor Majorettes, who was knocked
cold when she tossed her baton in
the air and it landed on her head.
Another O. H. musician was
bruised when she happened to be
too close to the sidelines when a
Rocket player was forced out of
bounds.

DERHAPS you read the New
Orleans datelined story in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer last week
which told of the night club bat
tie in Bourbon Street between
Clarice "Divena" Murphy and
Jewell "Oyster Girl" Sylvas. Jeal-
Gus because "Divena" was getting
top billing for her strip tease act
in 400 gallon tank of water, the
"Oyster Girl" grabbed a fire AK
and broke the glass tank, thus
permitting water to pour over the
dance floor and the cash custom
ers. The episode was played up
in New Orleans papers where it
received a double column spread
and even Newsweek and other
magazines give it publicity. A
Judge fined the "Oyster Girl" $40
for disturbing the peace and told
her to pay damages to the club.
The night after the big fight, we
saw "Divena" and the "Oyster
Girl" walking up Bourbon street
arm-in-arm. If it was just pub
licity act, it paid off tremend-
ously.
COTTON is now ripening in
Mississippi and Tennessee,
and the negroes and whites are
working side by side to harvest
the crop before the first frost.
While there are mechanical cotton
picking machines, most of the
work evidently is still done by
men, women and children. 1t
must be backbreaking toll as the
cotton plants are only two to three
feet in heighth, and pickers must
drag huge bag up and down the
rows =. Like most other tour
lists, we had coffee and doughnuts
at. "Cafe Monde and Morning
Call" the famous spots in the old
French Market district of New
Orleans. The doughnuts aren't
doughnuts at all-no holes in the
center They're really square or
diamondshaped puff balls, served
very hot, and doused in powdered
sugar. The coffee isn't as strong
as we had imagined-you don't
have to cut it with a knife.
QESIDENTS of the East Fourth
and Washington street area
have secondary fire alarm. Ev-
cry time the city's fire siren
sounds, "Inky," a black cocker
spaniel belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Sprenger, tunes in on the
siren with heart rendering howl.
Immediately thereafter, all the
dogs in the area join in the Fire
mems Chorus, and you can be
positive that the faint sound in
the distance is the fire siren.

PUBLIC HEALTH
WILL PROMOTE
BETTER HOUSING

A new agency moved into the
Alaska housing picture this week
with the arrival in the Territory's
capitol of j. Buford Jenkins. con-
sulting engineer for the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service
Jenkins, who spent several years
in Alaska during the sos. has been
named to direct the public health's
newly activated Alaska Health and
Sanitation division which has as
its broad objective the expediting
of home construction in the Terri
tory to provide healthful homes
for families.
Immediate specific detectives,
jenkins said, is the establishment
in Alaska of industries which can
produce some OF the basic mater
ials for home building.
! Getting more specific, jenkins
said that cement and insulation are
materials which can be manufac-
tured in Alaska and that U. S. Pub
lie Health is undertaking research
and promotion for the establish
ment of these industries here.
Aim is the reduction of the
building costs of homes by cutting
down on the high cost of ship
ping bulky items great distances.
I'VE feel" jenkins said, that by
cutting down home costs more peo-
pie will be able to build homes,
and this will accomplish our pur-
pose of getting healthful housing"
A high grade of insulation mater
ial, sphagnum moss, is available IN
Southeast Alaska and also in the
vicinity of Palmer, according to
Jenkins, who said Public Health
will attempt to interest private cap
ital in putting up plants for pro-
cessing and treating the insulation
material. Private industry will also
be the agent for development of CO.
ment plants in Alaska, he said.
The Federal Housing Authority
and the Alaska Development Board
have agreed to cooperate in the
plan, jenkins said.
A handbook on Alaskan construc-
ton for distribution to all interested
parties is also on the work plan
for the new agency.
jenkins will leave for Anchorage
next Tuesday, then go on to Fair
banks and Nome before returning
to Juneau early in July.

THEATRE MANAGER IS

Returning to Alaska for the first
time since the days when Juneau

prospectors, A. 0. Luken, general
manager for the B. F. Shearer

COMMUNICATION

Editor, Daily Alaska Empire: We
wonder how many people in Ju-
neau know of the Importance of a
Child Welfare Worker in Juneau.
Thursday afternoon at Sis the
Child Welfare Committee of the
Provisional League of Women
Voters will broadcast the second
skit in series dealing with the
City's participation in the expense
of maintaining a welfare worker
in Juneau.
Last Thursday Juneau citizens
learned that there are 88 children
within the city limits of our town
that are receiving the care of our
present worker. Most of these
children are the victims of homes
broken by protracted illness of a
parent, or divorce, of neglect or
actual abuse by parents, who may
well be classed as delinquent. A
few are found to be in need of
medical attention which the par
ents are too poor to provide; a
few need glasses to bring their
school work UP to par, and forstall
the inevitable feeling OF inferiority
that comes to a tagging pupil.
These children are our future
mayors and councilmen, business
men and workers, and they should
be given every chance the present
has to offer. Surely Juneau should
consider the needs of her future
voters as much as do Anchorage
and Ketchikan where participation
ir the support of a welfare worker
is undertaken gladly The expense
is SO little compared with the re-
suits, intangible, unspectacular, but
nevertheless real.
Listen in on KINY Thursday at
Sis and learn more as to why
Juneau must continue to help
maintain local worker.
Very truly yours,
Provisional League of Women
Voters,
Ruth Metcalf, Chairman, Child
Welfare Committee.

breaking the seals. The draw line
at the bottom of the tunnel shall
be pulled up to close the cotton OF
the tunnel, secured on top of the
tunnel pole in such manner as to
keep the line reasonably tight at
all times and a link of chain shall
be fastened within the nearest
tunnel seal.
STATIONARY TRAPS. During
all closed periods the trap shall be
closed by pulling the tunnel to one
side of the pot. The tunnel shall
be so constructed that it will over
lap the pot wall by at least one
foot when the trap is closed. There
shall be a closing line, the lower
end Of which is fastened on the
wire of the pot at the outer end
