SITKA, Alaska, Jan. l - New Years resolution of at least half of the Sitka housewives: To see that all water pipes are properly insulated; that the house is fully insulated; and to SO manipulate the household budget that an electric blanket will fit into it somewhere during the year!
 More than half the Sitka families have been in considerable distress due to the unusual weather" that pers. .sts in haunting us though the records show that Sitka tempera- ture drops below zero only once in 50 years. Home after home froze up solid-and after several fires resulted from attempts to thraw with @ blowtorch, most household CTS settled down to wait until Mark Rigling could get around to them with his electric thawing out it - meanwhile carrying water from mere fortunate neighbors, re- ducing washing and bathing to a subsistence level, and acquiring a new appreciation for the simple comforts Of lfe-such as a flushing toilet.
 Mark Rigling, with the only safe, modern thawing outfit has been running around madly, com- pletely showed under with desperate sos calls, each one more pathetic than the last-and no hope of ever getting around to all of them. And while running around, doing his test under the circumstances, his own home froze up and the Public Utilities men can't find his con- nection to the main line without which his equipment is useless. There must be a moral T it some where-or even a small philosoph- ical idea--but we can't find it,
