slices of a $4,000, 600. 900 dividend
to be distributed among present
and past holders of National Serv-
ice Life Insurance policies.
The forms will be available at
post Offices, Veterans Administra-
ton Offices and headquarters Of
veterans groups.
The tremendous dividend de-
claration came about because as
sets of the mutual CT insurance
plan exceeded the plans present

said more than 100000 policies
which will share in the payment
have been issued.
Payments by 1850.
There's no easy pattern vet.
eran can use to estimate his share
officials explained. because OF the
complicated formula VA is using
to determine it. The main factors
involved are the face amount oi
the policy ($1 900 to 100000, the
length of time it was kept in
force, and the veterans age at the
time the policy was issued.
VA expects to start sending out
checks by January, 1850. After
that. they are expected to flow
through the mails at, the rate OF
100000 a day. About 10000
veterans Of the last war live in
Washington.
The form, which must be filed
in order for the dividend to be
paid, is a, three-part card.
The first part contains instruc-
tions. The applicant tears this
of and keeps it.
The middle part contains nine
. spaces which must be filled in with
essential data. On the reverse
side, the veteran fills in his return
address. On the third part the
applicant prints his name and ad-
dress. He then folds these two
parts of the form, puts a 1-cent
stamp on it and mails tit is
self -addressed-to VA.
Places to Get Forms
On receipt, VA stamps an ap-
plication number on the third
part and mails it back to the ap-
plicant as an acknowledgement Of
his application.
In addition to post Offices. the
forms may be obtained at the

LEGISLATURES MOVING
 FAST IN HOME sTRECH
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU The 18th session of the Alaska Territorial Legislature heads toward the final week of its regular session with the Gov ernor's call for a special exten- sion hanging over it if all major legislation is not cleared
 However, increasing opinion a. mong lawmakers of both parties is that speedy House passage of the record twelve and a half mill lion general appropriations bill cleared the way for completion of the big job before next Friday morning, adjournment deadline Both houses spent most of the time since Monday night cleaning up secondary bills and memorials to get them out of the way before heading into the final five day streeh when rules call for consid- eration of only appropriation and revenue bills.
 Legislators predicted the bud get would be balanced at around seventeen million with old and new revenue measures possibly producing a surplus.

TRUMAN SAYS DEMOCRATS
 NOT GOOD DEMOCRATS

KEYWEST- President Truman turned the other cheek to re- bellious Congress and declared his Dixiecrat opponents are not good Democrats. The chief executive in news conference on the shaded lawn of the winter White House clung steadfastly to hope for en- actment of the major part of his fair deal program. He spoke like man not mad at anyone despite the Senate Armed Services Con- mittees rejection of his nomina- tion of Mon Wallgren for chair man of the National Security Re sources Board, passage of the rent control bill the administration op- posed, and defeat of his attempts to break the Senate ,filibuster.

KIDS SPORTS SHOW
 HERE GREAT SUCCESS

About thirty young Petersburg boys were in Wrangell last Sat- urday evening to compete in a sports show with the local lads. They were accompanied by mem- bers of the Petersburg American Legion post who sponsor them, and their trainer, Peter Sanstol
 Phillip Kim from Petersburg opened the show with an exhibi- tion of weight lifting.
 The second feature was an ex- hibition wrestling match between Wrangell's Tiny Foreman, alias, "Terrible Tessie" and Petersburg's William Wagner. It was a draw match between the two but referee Bill Hunting was the victim of several falls.
 Ten boxing bouts on the pro- gram featured nine Petersburg and eleven Wrangell youngsters vary ing in weight from 67 to 130 pounds. Due to the difference in weights between some of the Wran- gell and Petersburg boys several bouts were between two Wrangell or two Petersburg boya The boys were very evenly matched as five of the bouts were draws with only Arnold Casey, Frank Young, Carl Hanson, Tom Engle, and Dave Churchill winning their respec- tive matches.
 Other boys participating and the boxing matches were as follows: Leonard Engle va Melvin Jenkins, Gran Piatt vs. Arnold Casey, Irv- ing Igtanloc ys. Ralph Gutherie, Alan Casey vs. Roy Anderson, Vie Catry vs. Frankie Young, John De- Witt ys. Carl Hanson, Emil Church i'll vs. Jojo Arcadio, Jerry Connal- ly vs. Richard Garcia, Tom Engle vs Gordon Wally and Dave Church i'll vs. Don Reyes Harry Ferguson refereed the boxing matches.
 Peter Sanstol, Petersburg train CT and former contender for the bantam weight boxing crown, and Nick Johnson, Wrangell trainer, staged a two round boxing bout.
 Climax of the evening was when Dale Dynamite" Casey steH Hped into the ring and scored a Knock out" on Sanatol in a minute and thirty seconds. Casey, Sentinel newsboy, probably won't have trouble keeping his customers now.
 George Case. chairman of the committee from the local Legion post which sponsored the show, acted as sportscaster. Mir. Case expressed the appreciation of the post to the people who so gener- ously contributed to the show and extended hospitality to the Peters burg youngsters. Special thanks going to Nick Johnson and Rich ard Garcia, Wrangell trainers; Harry Ferguson. referee; Freddie "Tiny" Foreman of Wrangell and William Wagner and Phillip Kim from Petersburg.
 Proceeds from the night will be used to buy sports equipment for the local youngsters.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

AS the Territorial Legislature burned the midnight oil this week, there was an excellent shance that no special session would be re- quired and the 18th Legislature would be able to adjourn sine die March 24. Last week end the law makers apparently thought they couldn't get through their work on schedule and requested the Governor to call a special session. just in case. Appearing before a joint session of the two Houses, Governor Gruening said he was against another special, but that with a majority demand from both Houses he could not do other than accede to the request. However, he urged the Legislators to work nights, Sundays if necessary. to try and complete their work dur ing the regular term. Both houses have been hard at it ever since, far into the night. The call for the special session, if found neces- sary, provides for the lawmakers to reconvene o1 March 2S for not longer than two weeks. Concensus of Legislators this week was that no special session would be re- quired.

WRANGELL RESIDENTS TO
 RECEIVE BCG VACCINE

The BCG vaccination against tuberculosis will soon be offered to residents of Wrangell according to word received from the Alaska Department of Health A medical team headed by Dr. Elaine Sch winge will arrive next Monday to do tuberculin testing and then vac cinate those who need it with BCG.
 MT. L. W. Coe, Director of the Health Education, Alaska Depart ment of Health, has been in town this week preceding the team to answer any questions on the pro gram.
 BCG was discovered forty years ago ill France, and this year ten millio9 Europeans will receive BCG to combat the high tuberculosis rate in war rayaged countries.
 The U. s. Public Health Service is promoting the use of this vac cine in areas where the likelihood of exposure to tuberculosis is above average. Alaska is such an area.
 The vaccine promotes increased resistance to the disease which can, however, be overcome by ex- posture to people with active tuber- culosis. Although the likelihood of contracting tuberculosis will be reduced, one should still continue to exercise care to avoid unneces- sary exposure to known cases. You still have to practice good hygiene, isolation of active cases and check ups with your physician. Vaccin- ation to tuberculosis is not a Fcure alp but rather it is a means of increasing the resistance to those who have not been exposed.
 A ten year study in areas of Southeastern Alaska and the States by Dr. Joseph Aronson showed that BCG reduced tuberculosis cases to one fourth and tuberculosis deaths to one-seventh of the former rate.
 Since last October BCG vaccin- ations have been given in towns of the Aleutians, Kenai Peninsula and the interior. As part of long range program of tuberculosis con- trol, BCG will be offered to all Alaskans within the next two years by the Department of Health.
 This service is free to everyone in Wrangell and it is important that all children of pre-school age be given the vaccination for tuber- culOsis.
 All children of school age have been given permission slips for the tuberculosis test and not for vaccination. Parents are urged to sign them and return them to the teacher. No child will be yaccin- ated without the written permis- sion Of the parent.
 The tentative date for the tuber- culin testing will be Tuesday, March 22. The school children will be tested from 1-S pm. in the school building. The infants, pre- school children and adults will be tested the same day in the Federal Building, room 201, the Health Center, from S:30 to $500 pm. and from to g pm.
 Dr. John Bangeman, Health Off, ficer, and Miss Arne Bulkely, Public Health Nurse urges every one in the community to take ad- vantage of this service.
