rope has cut OF most exports by
the West to the $50. .0o0. 900 per-
sons who. In the past, exchanged
their agricultural products and
some raw materials for finished
industrial products. Germany had
O large share In these exchanges,
particularly in the Balkans.
In addition to these important
outlets for the Western nations
IN which. however. the United
States had only minor participa-
tion-the Asiatic, and particularly
Chinese, markets offered impor-

SITKA, Alaska, Jan. l5.-(Speclal Correspondence)- Peter Neilsen well known Sitka artist and wooo carver, has just completed it. by it. carved mural which will he en- tered in national competition de- signed to select a series of paint ings which will best show the art forms of each state and territory The contest is being sponsored by the American Container Corpora tion through the advertising firm ci N. w. Aver and Co.,, of Philadel- phia.
 MT. Neilsen's panel. which will be sent by air, is Thlingit cedar boH design representing a native fami-. crest. It will probably be accepted as the Alaska entry, since George Fsdorof. ANS Arts and Crafts Spe- cialist states t th a t though tEere were supposed to have been other Alaska entries, so far as he lan determine no other works have been submitted from this Territory. Nei r sen submitted three diff CT e Il | sketches to N. w. Aver and Co.,, an3 made the completed panel from the design chosen by them.
 Neilsen was offered this oppoI- tunity through MT. Fedorof who was recommended to the N. w.. Aver Co. by the Modern Museum O. New York as teing competent to se- lect the most qualified Alaskan artist in this district.
 The finally selected States Se- ries," which will include art forms from both Territories, will be shown in full page color reproduct ons in Fortune Magazine and certain other magazines indicated by the spon- sors.
 Each painting accepted will be purchased from the artist for fixed sum of $500 and the only re- quirement is that the artist be na- tive to the state or territory which he represents.
 Neilsens work is of a highly fin ished quality and has long been notable in Sitka. Much of his skill is due to the training of old John Michael, Sitka carver, whose work was exhibited at the Chicago Worlu Fair.
 MT. Neilsen is a seiner and car penter, was president of the A.N.B in l948 and is Treasurer of tha Grand Camp. He is executive secre tary of the Fishermen and Can nery Workers Union of Southeast Alaska.

station would be self-supporting all most immediately. Needless to say, i Sitkans are hopeful that this pro- feet will be allowed. The very real civic benefit derived from the radio station which Brightman operated l in Sitka two years ago served to show up a definite lack when the station was closed and the towns need and desire for locally owned station can hardly be overestimated.
 J. P Mattoon, who i5st &oAaa. underwent serious operation ln St. Anns Hospital in Juneau, had an unhappy rcumstance to face the day before the operation took place. Tyis 3d-foot numbered troller, ne- cessarily left intended at anchor at their homestead in Schultz Cove, Fish Bay, when he and Mrs. Mat toon were forced to fly to Juneau on account of MT Mattoons health, sank at the float as a result of heavy snows and rain. The float itself, with shed containing tools nd toat equipment was also part ly submerged due to the weight of now on the shed roof.
 Word of the sinking was brought to Sitka on the 7th and Dave Hal lock, owner of the 42 foot troller Skeeter, immediately telephoned MT. Mattoon in Juneau who asked him to raise the boat if possi le and tow Ter in to Sitka to Webb-Forbes Marine Service O., so that the en- zine could be taken care of.
 Hallock with Fran,, Cs1sdoll and Ray Race, went out immediately and succeeded n raising both boat and float, and returned with the boat 0 Sitka late Monday afternoon, where Webb-Forbes oyerhauled the engine. They stated that no perma- nsnt damage had been done.
 Mattoon is reported to be recover ing satisfactorily from his opera tion though it will be several weeks before he is ahle to get around. The Nations were formerly Sitka residents, having moved to their homestead on Schultz Cove some years ago. In the past year, how ever Mattoon's health has not been good and this fall they had dec ded to sell their place at Schultz Cove and move back into town. It was most unfortunate that Mattoon's sudden need for an operation caught them before they had time to car " out tl-eir plans.

! and Organizations, the Community House, originally the USO building, Nas purchased for $10,000, all but BOO of the purchase price having Len subscribed. The eight directors, elected from among the stockhold- CTS of the corporation, in order to take care of immediate building ex- penses, sponso sored Community House Circus which consisted of
 de shows and continuously per forming center ring show put on by the various organizations in town,
 h ch vas an outstanding success.
 following that, their only revenue 10 cover operating expenses came from rentals for meetings, dinners, dances, etc, which at the first were somewhat slow in getting started ut gradually worked into a regular form of revenue. The first of Octo- Ter they made arrangements to give Don Forester, who had formerly managed a skating rink in Watson lille, Calif, and following that had a good deal of USO experience ln the Army, a three month trial as manager, he to promote skating and other activities and to receive lis salary from the earnings, after the euilding expenses had been de- ducted.
 Forrester's energy in this respect has been highly satisfactory and 1t the last meeting he was given a two-yea contract on roughly the came terms, with the added proviso that the first $500 above operating expenses go intact to him as salary and that he receive 75 per cent of the succeeding $100 and 50 per cent of any amounts over that sum.
 Proceeds from the Community House Circus, which has been made an annual affair, are expected to take care of the yearly ma ntenance costs of the building. This years circus is scheduled for some time in April and Stockton Webb has heen appointed to take charge of all arrangements.
