Great Hazards, Little Gold At
 FiishWhee| Site


 Stewart, Commissioner of Mines in Juneau, received by the Record yesterday expresses grave con- cern over the unjustified excite ment that is being manifested in Alaska as we'll as in the States as a result of recent dramatically ex- pressed newspaper reports of the discovery of very small amount of placer gold on the shore of an island in the Yukon River in the vicinity of Fort Yukon and over the growing proportions of the influx into that remote locality at this time of year of inexperienced, poorly equipped and poorly advised gold seekers.
 Very significantly and wisely the well informed and experienced placer miners of the Territory are refraining from joining the unfor- tunate stampede that has been ini- tiated at Fairbanks during the past week and all others will be we'll advised to follow their example, MT. Stewart declared, and thereby save themselves from what to the initiated appears to be inevitable disappointment, financial loss and possible disaster.
 The physical hazards of encoun- tering the extreme sub zero tenn peratures which are almost certain to obtain during the remainder of the season in the remote and un- populated Fort Yukon region are very great and should not be risked by the stranger to the country, Mr. Stewart said. The futility of attempting to sink by hand prospect holes in the deep, water filled alluvium adjacent to the channel of river the size of the Yukon was also stressed by MT. Stewart.
 The discovery by the owner of fish wheel of nugget of gold the size of pea imbedded in mud attached to the wheel when it was being dismantled for the winter and the subsequent discovery on the surface of very small amount of additional grains or flakes of gold in the vicinity may be ac- cepted as authentic as reported by newspaper correspondents and others, but the natural occurrence of gold in the form of even small nuggets or grains of, appreciable size at or very near the surface of a stream channel that flows, as do the numerous channels of the Yukon at the locality in question, over a bed of very deep alluvium requires to be established and eX- plained before the discovery may be reasonably accepted as valid indication that a gold deposit of any importance has been found. In such setting, placer gold even in small grains is to be found at or near bedrock beneath the over burden of muck, silt and gravel and not at the surface, MT. Stew

PHONE SERVICE
is IMPROVED
Five New Buildings Completed
and Nine Others Enlarged
for Better Service
LOCAL CALLS INCREASED

The Diamond State Telephone
Company has completed five new
buildings and enlarged nine others
since the end of the war to expand
and improve telephone service, j..
Frank Cox, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the company, said
Monday evening at the annual
meeting of Delaware telephone en-
ployees in the DUPONT Hotel, Will
mington.
One new central Office has been
installed and placed in service,
four have been replaced with larg-
er offices and all of the older offices
have been enlarged, he added. More
than 10000 miles of wire have been
constructed, and 5000 new poles
have been added.
'The number of local calls each
day has increased from more than
325,000 to 100000 and the number
of toll calls has increased from
19,e00 to 25.900 per day." he told
the employees.
To meet these demands for SER
vice, the company has had to spend
more than S10,600,000 for new
telephone plant and equipment, he
added. AS a result of the tremend-
GUS expansion of the system, today
the company is able to furnish SER
vice to nearly nine out of ten ap-
plicants within the month in which
they apply.
Telephone customers are con-
tinuing to receive an improved
quality of local service" he said.
Substantial improvements have
been made in the quality of toll
service and a considerable reduc-
tion has been made in the time re-
quired to complete toll call"

VETERANS INSURANCE
World War III Veterans Reminded
of Important Deadline

of Important Deadline
World War II veterans with SER
vice-incurred disabilities were re-
minded by John F. Mcdonald, In
surance officer, Veterans Admins
tration, of an important deadline
in connection with their entitle-
ment to National Service Life In
surance. Prior to January 1, 1850,
such disabilities actually incurred
in service between october s, 1910,
and September 2, 1945, if less than
total in degree, are disregarded in
determining eligibility under the
health requirements for NSLI pur-
poses.
This means that a veteran who
might not otherwise qualify for life
insurance for health reasons may
reinstate lapsed NSLI or buy new
or additional National Service Life
Insurance up to the $4,000 maxi
mum if they apply before the end
of the year. A physical examina-
tion is required, however, for all
insurance applied for under this
special provision. Such examina-
tions are made by VA without cost
to the veterans at the Regional Of
fee in the Dravo Building, foot of
Madison Street, Wilmington.

Shoemaker Stick to Last
Originated in 3rd Century

Among the famous heroes of his
tory are the bug who refused To be
snug in rug, the long lane that
didn't have a turning, the early
bird who hated worms, and the
shoemaker who wouldn't stick to
his last.
The origin of the expression
about shoemakers goes way back
to the third century BIC. AT that
time Greek civilization was at the
height of its development in all
fields. In footwear, the Greeks had
learned the secret of leathermaking,
treasured leather-soled shoes be-
cause of leather's flexible strength
and shape-retention. Greek sandals,
basically leather soles held to the
foot by thongs, remain the basis
for many popular styles even today.
The center of the Greek shoe in
dustry was a town called Sicyon,
famous for its women's shoes. Liv-
ing there was the celebrated paint
er Apelles, who was fond of ex-
posing his pictures IN public places
and hiding them to overhear and
benefit by criticisms of passers-by.
On one occasion Apelles tried
this with a picture of Venus. A
shoemaker came by, remarked on
a fault in the shoes, and Apelles
corrected it. Next day the amateur
critic passed again. This time he
ignored the shoes and began to
criticise the way the legs had been
painted. Apelles darted out from
behind the picture and shouted:
LET the shoemaker stick to his
last"
The poor shoemakers have been
stuck with that expression ever
since
