Council Deals With Dogs, Homework

Since dogs can't be fined or inn prisoned, the city council decided at its last meeting that penalties would be imposed on the owners of animals which behave in an inhospitable manner toward vis- itors and small children.
 The council has listened to sev- eral complaints recently concern ing dogs which snap at passers-by and which chase small children. City clerk Haley Gates was in- structed to post notices of the councils decision in several pub lie places. Owners of all dogs which miSbehave will be asked to appear in court and pay fine.
 The recent meeting was con- cerned principally with details of city housekeeping. Records of the city of Valdez, which have been scattered in several storage spots in the city, now have been brought together in the council chambers. Funds have been al- lotted for the construction of SIlS1VSS LIlS1S, SO tIldC d11 1IldLSA 4dA may be filed in an orderly man. ner.
 With the aid of extra clerical help employed for the purpose, the city clerk has unearthed some interesting documents of Valdez early history, he reported. Re gently the original seal of the city of Valdez, an all-copper stamp made in 1898, was discovered. At that time the area was known as the Valdez District of Alaska.
 Early land ownership records and the first 50 ordinances ever passed in Valdez also were brought to light. The ordinances, all covering conduct, have been missing for some time. The coun- cil's ordinance committee is bring ing the laws up to date, so that misdemeanors, formerly covered only by territorial law, now may be handled in city court.
 Action was taken, at the re- quest of the city treasurer, to bond the city clerk.

Hospital Board
 veioes Suggestion To Move Building

The possibility of attaching the former Alaska Native Service school to the Valdez Community Hospital for use as a tuberculosis ward was discussed at the Aug. 16 joint meeting of present and retiring hospital board members. Board members agreed that the expense involved would not war rant the removal of the building to the hospital site.
 George Gilson, president of the 1949 board, transferred hospital business affairs to Stuart Star buck, new chairman, after giving a resume of the work of the for mer board which instigated the move to build new hospital in Valdez. MT. Gilson emphasized that full community cooperation is necessary now, if hospital building plans are to be carried through.
 Plans for a new structure all ready have been submitted to the Juneau office of the General Services Administration for con- sideration.
 Minor problems of hospital ad- ministration were received for discussion. They will be further considered at the next hospital meeting, scheduled for August 28. The new board plans to meet on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, until members be- come more familiar with the prob lems of hospital management.
 Newly-elected members of the hospital board include, in addi- ton to MT. Starbuck, Mrs. Bob Kelsey, ST., Mrs. David Johnson, Al Carlin and Harold North.

German Demands Equality For Ger man Army Units

STRASBOURG, France, (R - Karl Mommer, German Socialist, demanded complete equality with other nations as the price of par ticipation in joint Western Euro pean defense at the General Ali fairs committee of the European consultative Assembly today.
 Persons present at the closed committee session of the unoffi- cial parliament said Mommer as- serted Western Germany must have complete political, economic and military equality within a real European organization before she could contribute manpower to defense.
 These informants explai d that by military equality he meant equal footing with those of other nations, though not neces- sarily in equal numbers.
 He declared i've want Europe defended on the Elbe, not on the Rhine. We do not want Germany to become a scorched earth"

vENTMATE YOUR KITCHEN
BY
FRANCES
FORTENBERRY
Home Economics
Director Miss. Power
l. Light Co.

Have you ever come home from
a drive in the country, opened the
front door, and been greeted with
the leftover odor of corned beet
and cabbage?
Or have you ever spent a long
day in the kitchen and emerged at
last - hot and weary - with a
headache from the stale air and
perhaps, the smoke from dish
that cooked too long?
The answer to both questions
probably is often.
Why should this room where
you spend so much of your time
be an unpleasant place to work?
And why should its tell-tale smells
be permitted to drift about the
rest of the house.
Actually, there Is no good rea-
son. A ventilator fan will keep
your kitchen as fresh as the wide
open spaces.
A ventilator fan quickly and
quietly viii draw the air odt OF

power of Jeremiah or the eerie Wis
ions of Ezekiel But with inspired

name of God a simple remedy with

your kitchen, and replace It with
fresh. moving air brought In
through an open window or from
the other rooms of the ..ouse.
The inlet of the fan should be
as close as possible to the range
to avoid passing doors through
the room. The wall space directly
above the cooking unit Is the best
SPOT, for here the fan will catch
odors and smoke directly as they
rise from .the range.
If the unit is on an outside wall,
YOU are lucky indeed. This means
the exhaust can be carried off i'm
mediately through the fan outlet.
IL not, you still can get rid of
kitchen odors by drawing them
across the room and outside with
a conventional wall type or win
dow exhaust fan.
One of the newer methods OF
kitchen ventilation which you may
want to incorporate in your home
makes use of the standard kitchen
cabinet. The fan is installed in a
cabinet above the range. with the
fan grill in the bottom OF the
cabinet. This forms a hood, much
like the type used in commercial
kitchens, to cut off the escape of
stray odors. Again. if the range is
against an outside wall. the ex-
haust is carried off through an
outlet in the back of the cabinet.
If not, it is simple matter to
have the necessary duct built in
during construction.
The most recent models are
equipped with shutters which open
and close automatically as the fan
is turned on and off.
