FACILITIES FOR ANS
SCHOOLS INADEQUATE;
TEACHER SHORTAGE

Alaska Native Service schools are
generally understaffed inadequat-
ely equipped and overcrowded ac-
cording to Bob Druxman, Juneau
public relations counsel who re-
Gently made an inspection of the
Arctic and the Interior for ANS.
He said that despite these condi-
tons, ANS is making progress in
its program to educate and make
the Alaska Native self-sufficient.
He pointed out, however, that
faster progress could be made with
adequate facilities.
He blamed part of the teacher
shortage to the fact that many
people accept teaching positions
only to get to Alaska for a year
or two and do not keep their jobs
long enough. The turnover is too
high, he said. Lack of sufficient
funds to hire enough teachers is
another reason.
On the subject of equipment, he
was particularly critical of the
books used in ANS schools. While
suitable for Stateside instruction.
their material is not applicable to
Alaska in many ways.
He also condemned the present
system for students toilets. At pre-
sent. they are furnished only with
outdoor priyies He recommended
that indoor chemical toilets be
installed not only for comfort and
sanitation, but SO that the Native
people will then install them in

WIN; tied in
THIRD SPOT
BY JIM BACON

Vince Shupe singled in the ninth
with the bases loaded and thus
blasted his San Diego Padres back
atop the Pacific Coast league.
The Padres beat Portland AS
while Oakland slugged Hollywood
1910, the loss dropping the Stars
a half-game behind the Padres.
At Los Angeles, the San Fran
cisco Seals slammed across two
runs in the tenth to whip Los
Angeles 5 to 3. In Tuesday nights
other game, Seattle scored four
unearned runs in the first against
Sacramento and went on to win
5-4 although collecting but four
Kits while the Solons dotched IL.
San Diego needed two runs going
into the last of the ninth. Dam
Clay and steve Nesner each singled,
then Buster Adams doubled home
the tying run. Max West was
walked and then Shupe, who came
into the game in the ninth, hit his
Frank Merriwell single.
Two big innings that counted up
II runs enabled the Oaks to blast
the Stars. The Acorns had a five
run splurge in the second, due
mostly to Maurice Van Robay's
grand slam homer. In the sixth
they put together five singles and
two walks for six runs.
Charley Schanz, in his fifth win
OF the season fer Seattle, was easy
with the hits but allowed Sacra-
mento to score only in the fifth.
The Rainiers staked him to a 4-C
lead at the start when two singles,
two walks, an error and wild
throw let in the runs after two
were out. Del Baker, the Scion
manager, got chased from the game
for protesting a walk called on Bob
Sturgeon which forced in run.

AoA VI Vic 6ASSA.
I have followed more than a
few 18-hole matches that re-
quired over four hours of play.
It is Sarazen's idea that a two
ball or three-ban match should
be completed in two hours and
As minutes.
Here is Sarazen's idea of playing
his strokes. After the drive, he
walks briskly to his ball. He sizes
up the right line and the proper
distance as he moves up. He takes
about three or four seconds to
make the proper club selection.
Then he takes his swing.
On reaching the green, stocky
Gene takes out his putter and walks
up back Of the ball, not around it.
He picks out the correct line as
he comes to the ball. He is then
ready to make his putt. There is
no waste motion-no extra pressure
on the nerves-no form of convul-
sion-and most pleasant after
noon for the cross-country runners
who follow the matches.
Gene figures that with two
ball match the pair should get
around in about two hours and
20 minutes.
"rd be goofy, a nervous wreck,
if I wasted as much time playing
each shot as so many do" Sara
zen says. Imagine walking at a
snail's pace from your drive to the
green, over 200 yards away, as I've
seen several golfers do. Imagine
taking seven or eight minutes to
use up two puts. I would think
that, after a few holes, many OF
these players would be hearing fun
ny noises under their caps. I know
my nerves would be in knots.

The above chart plots the
course Of the 10-year war boom.
In January, 1889, America had 10
million unemployed and A mill
lion at work. Annual net in
come per farm was S702. Indus
trial wages averaged S24 a
week, an annual rate Of $1,248.
from a nine-year-old depression,
the study recalls.
After an even 10 years of recov-
cry, boom, initiation, and tapering
off, the score stands as follows: Net
annual income per farm 800 per
cent higher-it was $702 in 1889,
reached $2,915 in 1913, and had
sagged to an annual rate of So, 300
by January, 1919. Weekly indus
trial wages up 100 per cent-from
$24 in January of '39 to approx
mately SIS in January of '49. Liv-
ing costs II per cent higher than
10 years ago, after nearly a four
point drop in the last few months.
Finally, about three million unem-
ployed-a normal FLOAT, as
economists call 1t.
Wage rates show a gain of 26
and a half per cent since June,
1916, while. the cost of living index
now stands just % per cent higher
than in that final month of OPA.
The actual living cost increase has
been somewhat less than % per
cent, the study says, since the gov
eminent index naturally makes no
allowance for over-ceiling prices
which were general in the latter
months of OPA; thus the wage
earner's paycheck of today buys
him as much or slightly more than
his paycheck of June, 1916, the
study finds.
Percentage increases in worker
paychecks do not reflect sharp ad-
ditional gains made in so-called
fringe" payments during the past
decade, such as more vacations,
holidays, sick-leave, pension pro-
grams, etc., the study points out.

Maqic in Sarazen's Method
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

lone of the main reasons why
I've been able to hang around for
81 years is the fact that I've saved
my nerves by playing rather quick
ly. The longer you take to play
a shot, the greater the pressure
you put on your swing.
MAKE your decisions quickly
and definitely. Never have any
doubt once you've reached for
what you think should be the right
club. And don't haf-hit or over
swing. But above all, walk brislxly
and don't take up too much time
playing your shots. Especially
around the green's"
Getting the Jump
Quite recently, a pair Of young
men by the names of Billy South
worth and Leo Durocher were dis
cussing the National league pen
nant race. Both agreed on one
point.
"This is good year." both said,
ito reach July Fourth a few games
in front. For the team in front after
July Fourth will have a better
chance to hold lead.
"Why? Simple enough. The Ma
tional league clubs are so we'll
matched that it will be harder than
ever to close up any gap. The others
won't let you. The eight clubs have
never been as well-matched as they
are this year.
"For example, if the Reds had
Blackwell they would be just about
as good as any team in the league.
There isn't much to spare from
top to bottom"
This was the expressed opin-
ion Of two Of the leagues vet
eran managers-two of the best
in the game today. Eddie
Dyer told me, before starting
North, that the league might
be less than 10 games apart at
the finish. That means from top
to bottom. Eddie didn't say 1t
would be-he said it might be.
honestly believe that if the Reds
had the Ewell Blackwell Of I947,
they would be about even money
against any of the other seven
teams. But baseball is full Of
breaks-injuries, accidents, mis-
takes, and team spirit.
Some teams quit quicker than
others do. They let the psychology
cal burden knock them over: They
quit before they are beaten. This
can be a battle of the gamest
teams-the game teams against
the cutters.
II was rather astonished," Billy
Southworth said, ''to see how
strong the Phillies were. They have
fine outfield, and good infield."
