KRASIL0V5kY E
 NAMED LAW CLERK
 FOR JUDGE F0LTA

Addition of the new staff mem-
 Ter will greatly tighten the burden
 of the court, Judge George w. Folta indicated today, with an-
 nouneement that M. William
 Krasilovsky has been engaged as law clerk. Krasilovsky has been in the of flee of Attorney R. E. Robertson since he and his wife came to Ju- neau July 16. The new law clerk is a graduate of Cornell University and Law School.
 For the first time, District Courts | in Alaska are to have the much needed services of law clerks, and it is Judge Foltas understanding that Judge Anthony J. Dimond ot the Third Division also has engaged one.
 We were virtually ordered to lemploy law clerks Judge Folta remarked, when Chief Judge Will liam Denman of the Ninth Circuit Court learned how overWorked Alaska courts are He wired that he i was astonished to learn we did not l have any. The clerk can relieve the i court of much time-consuming re- search and briefing," he added. i Judge Denman is responsible for
 seeing the judicial business of Alaska, and the entire circuit, is | carried on with reasonable dispatch Judge Folta hopes that further
 benefits to Alaska courts will come from the United States Judicial | Conference in Washington, DC, this month.
 That group will consider a bill | providing for appointment of an {, additional judge for the Third Di-
 vision, and for placing District
 Courts in Alaska on a par with l Federal Courts, in certain matters | One of these would require attend ance at judicial conferences and reports on the condition of Alaska courts.
 Judge Folta attended the An
 nual Circuit Court Judicial Con- ference in Los Angeles this sum-
 mer, on request, to give such re- port to that group.

COMMUNICATION

Editor of Empire-Reference is made to the report as printed ir the Empire Sept. Is on the Aux Bay Water Meeting.
 The survey, as reported, appears to be the work of single indi- vidual.
 Such is not the case. The five man committee, previously ap- pointed to canvass. the district worked hard and long to promote this worthy cause. Much of the pre- dicted success of the project will no doubt stem from the coopera- tion and initiative of this group.
 It is notaole that no single in- dividual may perform a public serv- ice in Aux Bay without help. Our good neighbors just refuse to be left out.
 Thanks in advance for any cor rection you may be able to make in this matter.
 (signed) BILL NORTON.

Officials report that this progress was made in spite of bad weather during the summer months.
 Ike P. Taylor, chief engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, has left Juneau to make the final in- spection of the Tok-Johnson River section. He was accompanied by Hugh A. Stoddart, U. s. Bureau of Public Roads official.
 The Tok-Johnson River section was one of the contracts on which the U. s. Bureau had handled the engineering for the Alaska Road Commission.
 Among the new roads which have heen constructed this summer is one from the Alaska Highway to Forty Mile district. It has been opened as far as Chicken, an official said.
 The road is to be extended this fall as far as the town of Jack Wade. if possible. The new road will join the present road from Jack Wade to Dawson and open an- other route into Canada. Another new road, which will connect the port of Homer on the Kenai Peninsula with the town of Kenai, will be opened soon. The ground has been stripped and il is now possible fer rugged vehicles to make the journey. Among Road Commission plans is the attempt to keep the Thomp- son Pass road open during this winter. A Road Commission spokes- man says the attempt will bt highly experimental"
 If it is possible to keep the pass open, Valdez may become a year round port.
 Interested local interests are con- tributing a large amount to the cost of the attempt.

DOUGLAS MINISTER

Douglas people are looking for ward to greeting the first resi- dent minister since the days before the 1886 fire which destroyed the town.
 The Church Board of the Doug las Community Methodist Church has received word from the Rev. P. Gordcn Gould, director of Meth odist work in Alaska, that the Rev. J. P. Porter of Brevard, N. C., with his wife and one child will arrive in Douglas about Oct. l.
 On his last visit here, several weeks ago, the Rev Gould selected parsonage for the church which rthe new minister will make his home. It is the former Leigh Grant home on Third Street. The Community Methodist Church which was established only in re- cent years jointly with the former Congregational Church on whose former site it is built, has progress ed steadily and a new church has been built. Under the sponsorship of the Rev. Robert Treat the new church is now too small and a new wing is being contemplated to be erected in the nG1r future. Rev Treat, former Juneau Methodist minister, is now stationed at Nome

Life in the Country
By james Birchfield

I have been doing q little in
vestigating. accidental on my part.
into the habits of bumblebees
and have retired from the scene
after several personal observa-
tions.
One thing I found to be wrong
is the story that bumblebees don t
like exhaust fumes from tractors,
and therefore. will not bother the
tractor operator. There Is not a
word Of truth in this, and ! have
Dick Downs as proof.
AS d matter of fact, believe
bumblebees like my little tractor
because both Dick and I were
using it when we got mixed up
with our little woolly friends. Dick
got it beside his eye. and went
around for a time looking like
something scarcely human, while
I was more fortunate. or was
faster in leaving the scene of ac-
tivities, and only got hit in the
shoulder.
Anyway. take 1t from me that
q bumblebee isn't the slightest
bit afraid Of q tractor. And he
can sting you just as many times
as he can get at you. Otherwise
he is fine friend and does a lot
OF good work pollinating clovers
and such things.
I'm willing to call a truce, and
II he will just put out some sort
Of sign. will be glad in the future
to make a circle around his house
Churchill Newcomb, who breeds
purebred milking Shorthorn cat
tie on his farm up near Purcell
vile. was telling the other day
OF the reputation for lunacy he
almost got when he first moved
into Loudoun County.
Churchill has made a study OF
hedges, and we were discussing
the advantage Of poncirus trifoli-
alta. or hardy orange. as a hedging
plant. 1t seems to be a very de-
sirable plant, better perhaps than
multifiora rose. 1t makes a beau
tiful hedge. particularly in the win
ter when shedding leaves leave an
impenetrable barrier of long
green thorns.
I am so interested in the plant
that I hope to try a hedge on my
40 Virginia acres. But back to the
story.
Soon after arriving in Loudoun
County, Churchill was working
one morning in his garden when
a neighbor chanced along. The
