By The Associated Press

By The Associated Press
 Distress signals flew over wide areas yeterday on the nations weather map.
 The worst victims of Weather's elements were Rocky Mountain and western plains states; four southern states and the rich citrus area of California and Arizona.
 The snOW-bound Rocky Noun tain and plains states struggled against seemingly insurmountable odds in dramatic manner in at temps to recover from the win ter's worst blizzard.
 Churling waters spilled from rain-sWollen rivers in four south ern states-Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia-forcing thousands from their homes and isolating several communities.
 More sub-freezing weather hit areas in the Arizona citrus belt and losses in the indus try were estibated at $2O,OOO,OO0.
 There also was the threat of new floods in the northeastern section of the country. Heavy rain fell from the Carolinas northWard along the Atlantic Coast to New England.
 The blizzard has finally blown iteslf out of the DakotaS and west ern Nebraska. No fresh snow fell, winds diminished and tempera- lures were in the 29's. The coldest areas in the country yesterday were in Utah and Nevada-10 be-

Push Plans For Growth Of Alaska

mic opportunities and important contributions to our natl l wealth, says Assistant Secretary of the Interior William E. Warne, who has made a detailed study of the problems and potentialities of Americas last frontier"
 Our widely held, traditional conception of Alaska as Stewards Folly as a forbidding. ice-bound land with little prospects for ad- vancement is erroneous, he says.
 The natives call it ''Alakh- Skhak," meaning Great Coun- try" and the Department of the Interiors exploration of the econo- mic possibilities of the land are proving how right they are. he added
 In an article in the January is- sue of "The Reclamation Era" of- ficial Bureau of Reclamation pub lication, Assistant Sec e [ ary Warne states firmly that the peo- pie of Alaska must be given "an opportunity to become self-sus- sustaining, producing wealth for themselves and the Territory, and thereby protecting the economy and welfare of the United States" 7" He outlined a coordinated Federal program, already under way, for opening up access to rich, unde- veloped natural resources that would give the people new oppor- tunities to establishe industries, create productive jobs and add much to the national wealth.
 Alaskans pay high for their liv- ing with food and goods transport ed far distances, he explained Transportation costs and lack of electric power facilities to pro- mote home industry now create an intending series of business bottlenecks.
 The Assistant Secretary believes that the development of electrical energy in Alaska is the key to Alaska's future, pointing out that it would relieve two immediate problems now retarding Alaskan growth.
 "One problem is the lack of small, locally developed industries and the other is the lack of ven- ture capital" he explained. For example, if you wanted to go into the cement business in Alaska, and there are raw materials to aS- only have to build the cement onyl have to build the cement mill, but build the power plant.
 "The Inter-Agency Committee on the Development of Alaska, which was formally organized last year and had been working long before that, feels that if we can devevlop hydroelectric power in Alaska, the edge can be knock ed off the high cost of energy. Some industries will be attracted. This would also reduce the size of the requirement for capital in put ting small industries into the Ter the high cost of living.
 Without new source of ener- gy, town like Anchorage will have to stop growing. Without a lower-cost source of energy, the same town will have no develop ment of business or basic indus try to support it in the long run"

WhyGrow

By josephine Lowmon

We can really never know the
extent to which physical handi-
caps can affect personality. This
is especially true in the young,
who have not yet achieved a sense
Of values and depend. to a great
extent. on physical appearance.
I have many letters from young
readers who want to know If teeth
can be successfully Strengthened at
any age. The following letter will
give direction to many young
women.
Dear Mrs. Lowman:

Of high school. I would have some
thing done about my crooked and
unsightly teeth because I felt that

THAT was three years ago, and

Many people have the idea that
you can have nothing done like
this after the eighteenth year.
This is not true!
when I first looked ut myself
In the mirror with braces I was
pretty Mortified. I kept telling
myself, You looked pretty awful
before and you look pretty awful
now but at least you know you are
doing something about It, Just
having braces put on changed me
because I was working toward an
end. I was doing something about
myself. ~ $50.

movable one but can take it of
for special occasions.
Il found that while wearing
braces 1t is best to tone makeup

tended to reflect the shine from
the braces"
Here we have an example from
real life Of what physical unat-
tracsiveness can do to a person:
and the line. "Just having braces
put on changed me because was

statement.

Here Is a clipping which ap-
peared In the RICH about three
years ago. II ]. F. H. is still .
reader Of the RICH I am sure she,
will get thrill out Of seeing it
published again.
In reading The Star recently,
I saw . request about the Coop
Book. I believe I can help you out.
Many years ago when my son,
now SO. was q small child he had
one sent him from Massachusetts
and we used it very thoroughly
and how he hated to be called q
COOP" Now he has q little fellow
two years old and when he is here
with me. 1t Is the Coop Book he
likes best Of all his books. I am
surprised, as they are not colored.
Just sketches. It Is, of course, too
old for him. but he doesn't want
to be q COOP and seems to under
stand their tricks. I think it is a
nne manual Of manners for chill
dren. It is by Glette Burgess and
he has several Coop Books. Mine
Is the first one, "Goops and How to
Be Them" The publishers are
Frederick A. Stokes Co., New York.
I hope if you get one you will
have as much pleasure out of 1t as
we have, It Is well worn and vaS
very helpful.
The book is everything, and
more than she says about it. Very
small children love and profit
by it..
I want to say something else to
young mothers. Give your chill
dren small tasks to perform each
morning. Before our little boy was
three he was expected to take the
papers to the kitchen and dust the
coffee table. This was big job to
him and very often we had to use
persuasion to get him to do it. The
reward came this summer, two
years later. We were rushing
around tidying up the house pre-
paratory to meeting an incoming
guest on an early morning train.
Without being told our little fellow
got the dust cloth and felt very
important being q part Of things.

 Rive also conferred with his engineer. Tom Boyle, regarding obtaining rock for the breakwa- ter and said that the price of the rock and the distance it must be transported would greatly affect the amount of work done on the breawater.

 Rivers was scheduled to leave on Thursdays plane.
