Fire Still Big
Child Killer

The most dangerous years for
fire are from l to 8. More than
1000 children in that age-group
are killed by fires, burns or scalds
annually. the National Board of
Fire Underwriters states.
The safest year for children
from all accidents and disease, ac-
cording 10 life insurance statistics
is age II. Children that age are
better able to take care OF them
selves, are not so susceptible to
children's diseases, and yet are still
young enough not TO wander too
far from home. However, children
OF all ages still must be protected
from fire.
Great strides have been made in
fighting the children's diseases but
fire continues to take its yearly
toll. The National Board urged
parents to use Fire Prevention
Week this year to establish these
few home rules for their children s
safety: 49,
How to Keep Children Safe
Keep children in sight at home
Ii possible, keep them out of the
kitchen.
2. Keep matches out of their
reach at all times.
3. Turn pot handles inward on
stoves SO that children's hands
can't reach them.
4. Place a metal screen in front
OF the fireplace where children are
likely to play.
8. Don't dress children in flimsy
cottons or net fabrics. Many man
ufacturers flameproo6 their mas
querade costumes. Look for this
information on the label
6. Don't permit exposed electric
cords to go unrepaired. Buy only
those electric toys and household
appliances that Lear the Under
writer's Laboratories Inc. 'UL
label.
T. Instruct your baby-sitter on
what to do in an emergency. Give
her a telephone number where you
can be reached during the evening.
Show her how to call the fire de-
partment. Explain that in case Of
fire she should get the child out
of the house first and then call the
fire department.

Telephone Man
Tells Of Needs

William NJ. Maxey, president of
the Alaska Telephone and Engi-
neering Company, Inc, which
owns and operates the Wrangell
telephone system. addressed the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce Mon
day telling that body that Alaska
will never be fully defended until
its telephone system is modernized.
Maxey said he had never been
in Alaska until two years ago
when he went to Fairbanks to in
stall a 1,000-line switchboard to
replace the one destroyed by fire
on Christmas Day, 1916. While in
the territory he surveyed the tele-
phone situation and was amazed
at its inadequaey, noting that
many towns of 500 or 900 popu-
lation had no telephone service.
He then set about to organize
the Alaska Telephone Engineering
Company, Inc. with the purpose of
undermining the communications
system of every community in
Alaska.
The first project, upon which he
is now engaged, involves the pur-
chase of the Seward, Wrangell and
Nenana exchanges and converting
them to dial phones. The company
also plans installation of systems
at Haines and Seldovia.
Maxey said his idea was to have
a unified standard system through
out the territory, adding that al
though the army's Alaska Commu-
nltions System does a good job.
it needs help.

Seppala And The Siberian Huskie
tAs told 10 G. F. Freudenberg By Leonhard Seppala
 One day in May. l947
(Part ID

During the winter of lSl4-lSlo, Seppala put his team and himself through rigorous training, and awaited the next Sweepstakes with big hopes. He knew that the man to beat would be the redoubt- able "Scotty" Allen, then at the height of his reputation. Allen had a team of long-legged huskieS, and the reputation of being driver" To the many who judged the races by length of leg, Sepp and his Si- berians must have appeared a bad bet. The Siberians were the short est in leg of any team entered, and Sepp was one fthe shortest men in Nome. Qn fact, he was so pleased when he ran across a shorty" that he topped, that it was his custom to buy drink for the smaller manD However, peo- pie were soon to discover that length of leg was not the most cs- sential quality in racer.
 This year Sepp had made sev- eral trips over the Sweepstakes course to familiarize himself, and his leader "Suggen," with the ter rain. "Suggen" was the first of a series of great leaders of Seppala's teams. A great leader is essential for a great team, for there are many times when both man and team must rely upon his sense of direction and initiative for their safety. "Suggen" was named after one of the dog team leaders with Hansen's expedition in the "Fram," and the name itself comes from Norwegian or German, and means to search out; truly an apt name for a leader.
 The race started, the teams be- ing spaced at one minute intervals to avoid confusion at the start. Sepp had decided to concentrate on Allen, and if possible to keep always ahead of him. This in- volved careful judgment in order not to exhaust his team or himself in the early stages of the race. He so managed it that he was able to stop for the night for the rest pe- riod always a little further ahead of Allen. Once he found his team falling back in the soft snow, but he remedied this by removing the steel runners from the sled at his second rest stop at Gold Run.
 The last rest stop found Sepp still ahead at Council City, while Scotty was forced to stop for the night some miles behind at Bak- CTS Cabin on Boston Creek. In an attempt to overtake Sepp. Scotty made a very early start the next

some timber and only reached Council City, as Sepp was starting out with his fresh and rested team. When Sepp heard of Scotty com ing in behind him, he started his team at once and poured on the pace. His lead was never really in danger, but he could hardly be- lieve it himself, as he approached the finish line with no signs of Scotty showing up in the rear. As usual all Nome had turned out to greet the winner, and lined the main street of the town on the way to the finish line. It was a proud moment indeed for him as he drove his team through the cheering crowds to his first vic tory.
 The years, 1916 and 1917 brought further victories, and they were accomplished with such ease and authority, it was generally admit ted that there were no teams that could give Sepp's Siberians a fight. In 1916, he made a long side trip to Ruby, on the Yukon, 450 miles away, to compete with the best teams of that section in the Ruby Derby. His team lowered the record for the course of 58 miles by eight minutes in a con- vincing win that spread his fame still further in Alaska. But after 1917, the Nome Sweepstakes were discontinued. The boom times in Nome were pretty well finished, and the lack of competition for Seppala was diScourfaging fac tor. So, for a time, Seppala gave his attention to the breeding of dogs, and commercial freight and passenger carrying.
 Primarily, Seppala was interest ed in breeding the dogs up to a slightly larger overall size, with out diminishing the qualities of alertneSs, grace, and lightness of foot that gave them their superi- ority as racers. As the breed were intended for work dogs, color was not of primary interest. The orig inal colOrS ran the gamut from black and dark grey to light grey and white. Recently he has taken some pains to breed his dogs to very light grey, and almost or complete white, and it is these col ors that set off the beauty of these dogs to best advantage.

 of Alaska
 Nineteenth Session To the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Inte- rior, the Congress and the Dele gate from Alaska:
 Your memorialist, the Legisla- ture of the Territory of Alaska, in Nineteenth Regular Session as- sembled, respectfully submits:
 WHEREAS, gold mining, as the second largest industry in Alaska which produced approximately twenty-five million dollars in each year prior to the war, was closed down during the war upon order of the War Production Board; and,
 WHEREAS, national defense contractors have absorbed the bulk of available labor in Alaska at such high rates of pay that the mine operators cannot success fully compete in the labor market; and,
 WHEREAS, high cost of equip ment and other operating eXpens- es contribute to the difficulty of putting gold mining in Alaska back into production; and,
 WHEREAS, the sum and sub stance of all of the factors above mentioned is that the gold miner ills caught between high produc- tion costs and existing ceiling on the price of gold which blocks re- establishment of said industry as a principal economic asset of Alaska; and,
 WHEREAS, the Territory is go- ing to need a fully reconstructed mining industry to fall back upon when the national defense con- struction program has come to an end;
 LOW THEREFORE, your me moralist, the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska in nineteenth regular session assembled. re- spectfully submits that i: would not only be to the interest of the Territory of Alaska to provide an incentive for the return of full scale mining operations. but to the interest of the Federal Gov ernment in looking ahead with an eye to sustaining the Territory as a strong buffer state, and that provision of bonus of $500 per ounce on all gold mined in Alaska would be an adequate and we'll advised measure.

Many New Appointees
Appear at American
Embassy in Moscow
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 19.-Virtually
all key posts in the American
Embassy in Moscow have changed
hands in the last few months, or
are scheduled for changes soon.
The most important newcomer
is the new American Ambassador
Alan G. Kirk. Mr.. Kirk arrived
here in late June.
Other newcomers include:
A new Minister Counsellor of
Embassy. a half-dozen first, Sec
ond or third secretaries of En-
bassy, and a new chief of the
United States information service
in Moscow.
Other changes. scheduled to take
place in the near future include:
A new naval attache, a new air
attache and a new assistant mill
tary attache.
Second in Importance.
The post of Minister Counsellor
is second in Importance and rank
only to that of the Ambassador
himself. The new appointee is
Walworth Barbour, a veteran for
|eign service officer who arrived in
Moscow in July. He replaced
Counsellor of Embassy Foy Kohler,
who was also Charge d'Affaires
and interim during the six months
period when no United States Am
bassador was in Moscow.
The extremely rapid personnel
turnover in the Embassy is not
restricted to the top posts alone.
BY the end of this year two
thirds Of all the persons who are
assigned to the Moscow Embassy
BY the State Department, the
Army, Navy and Air Force will
have been in the Soviet capital
less than IL months. Most of
these people will have been here
less than six months.
None OF the top policy men IL
the Embassy ever has been in
Moscow on previous tours of duty
None OF them has been closely as
ISOLATED with the formulation OF
the policy of the State Depart
ment toward the Soviet Union
except indirectly, prior to their
assignment.
1t would be incorrect, however
to say that these new Embassy
leaders are unacquainted with
problems of Soviet policy. Most
OF the new senior personnel have
had extensive training in the Rus
sian language and have received
intensive brieflng in the State De-
partment before coming here.
Morgan Heads Experts.
The chief Russian expert Of the
Embassy is First Secretary of EN-
bassy George Morgan. Formerly
a professor at Hamilton College
Morgan was frequently mentioned
in newspapers and magazines in
the United States as the reputed
author of an article in the mag
azine Foreign Affairs signed with
the pseudonym "Histerieus," which
aroused much comment. This
article was an analysis of Com.
munist theology and Soviet policy

apparently is not scheduled tt
