Alaska Steamship To Inaugurate New
 Winter Fare Rates

A new Alaska Steamship Company triple-season reduced-fare round- trip tariff and an improved fall and winter passenger steamer schedule Were announced this week by H. N. Peterson, general traffic manager of the line.
 Beginning October g and contin- uing through May 1, 1851, a 20 per cent reduction in round-trip passenger rates will be available to all Alaska Line travellers between any two ports served, it was point ed out. Last year the company re- inagugurated reduced round-trip fares on voyages from Alaskan ports to Seattle and return. This year for the first time, the company will make round-trip rate reductions available to travellers from Seattle and from and between all Alaskan ports.
 We are introducing these spe- cial fares" Peterson stated, Gin or der to give Alaskans and the gen eral public the best possible rates during the fall, winter and spring lseasonS when the demand for tour ist space is not at it's peak"
 New and interesting itineraries have also been arranged under this new schedule, it was pointd out. The Baranof, set to sail from Se- attle every second Friday, will call at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau and Seward northbound, and at Sitka, Juneau and Ketehi- kan, southbound, with the addition al port of Petersburg on the return turn portion of the October yoy- age only.
 The steamer Denali, sailing on alternate Fridays, northbound will call at Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka, Seward and either Valdez or Cor dova (alternating each voyage). Southbound the Denali's ports will be Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan.
 Under this schedule, Alaska Line steamers will call at individual Alaskan ports as many as three times a week with calls at practi. cally all ports at least once each week, making available to the tray.

Harry Bridges
 To Be Released

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25- (AP)-Harry Bridges, by order of the Ninth U s. Court of Appeals. will be released from jail probably today in a 2-to-1 decision yester- day.
 The court ordered the CIO long shore leader be freed and reversed an August federal court ruling revoking his $25,0OO bail. He was convicted in April of having lied by swearing he never was a Com munist to obtain citizenship in 1945.
 The majority opinion said his jailing was novel and startling . there is no showing that in his present position he committed any recognizable crime"
 A Department of Justice spokes- man said the case will be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court.

COLLEGE, Alaska-Alaska's first 'earthquake-proof" building. the new Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, will be com pleted for dedication early this fall, according to Clement J. Gerber. project engineer for the Federal Works Agency.
 "Fhe Geophysical Building will be the strongest structure in the territory" Gerber stated "It has been built to withstand an earth quake intensity 9; intensity 10 is total destuction."
 The building, costing almost a million dollars, was sponsored by Delegate E. L. Bartlett and author ized by the 18th Congress. The structure is 120 feet long, 52 feet wide, and contains 125 tons of rein forcing steel. It has three floors, a penthouse and an astra dome with . powerful telescope. When all sci 1antific equipment is installed. the Geophysical Building will have some of the finest facilities in the world for studying the Arctic, the strato- sphere and regions beyond" Gerber said.
 Gerber, who has been project en- gineer for the building since it was started in April, 1949, has been in charge of government construction projects for 25 years, supervising over $10O,OOO,OOO worth of federal projects in S5 states and Alaska. Under his supervision were schools, hospitals, postoffices, housing proj- ects and about 500 remodeling jobs. Lewis Construction Company of Seattle was the contractor for the Geophysical Building and for the adjacent six two-bedroom cottages which will house part of the geo. physical personnel.

 You also received a brief letter and financial statement in your mail box. Study the figures for a minute and then see if you can't help to bring last years effort a little closer to the re- quired goal.
 Certainly a town of this size should be able to dig up $1,00O to help this worthwhile organi- zation carry itself through the winter.
 It is unnecessary to go into detail about the help given by the Salvation Army to those in need in this or any town. They do everybody's job and should be given assistance by everybody. You will note on the financial sheet the Salvation Army work CTS contribute their own outside earnings to their cause.
 Last year the two workers here contributed more from their own earnings than the entire town did in the Maintenance Drive.
 Remember this when you go to write your check.

Chamber Will
 Sponsor Derby

Wrangell will have a deer derby this fall il plans made at last weeks Chamber of Commerce meet ing materialize.
 The idea was suggested by U. S. Marshal Jack Krepps, who called attention to the fact that several -Other Southeastern Alaska towns have such derbies every fall and all have gained in popularity.
 The chamber approved tentative plans and named a committee to work out the details. Rules govern ing some of the more successful derbies will be copied. The Sitka Rod and Gun Club and a Ketchikan organization both have well-run derbies and the committee will con tact them to see how it's done.
 Those on the committee are Jack Krepps, Lou Dvorak, Vern Smith, Dick Sharnbroich and Mrs. Frank zepp.
 Prizes will probably be offered il. several categories largest buck widest antler spread, etc, and it i. customary to tie in such q derby with prizes for ducks, geese, anu maybe, in the case of the Wrangell district, for moose. This would be something other towns haven't done.
 Details will be announced when the plans are completed.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

The Periseope is inflicted this week with inertia, which, loosely defined, means a desire when at rest to remain at rest, unless some untoward or troublesome situation arises which forces activity. We can learn of no unusual circumstance. The Republicans are Investigating the Democrats; the Democrats are singing their own praises and look ing askance at the Republicans, all of which is quite normal. Mark Jensen is still Investigating the Palmer airport, and surely there's nothing new about that. The fish Ormen are out fishing; the conner eial boys trying to make an honest living, and the other kind of fish ermen just taking q sneak away from the office or shop for a little piscatorial leisure under the trop- tcal, for Alaska, August sun. Con- gress is about to recess; usually 1 does about this time of year which | is not remarkable, particularly in | a campaign year when all the house members and half >the senate have to try to get elected again. Bob Bartlett figures about Sept. 8. Anan Creek is not making the showing it did last year, but after all you don't get a 1949 run every season. Looks like the Southeast pack will be about normal, about average of the last 10 years, some where around what Rudy Brueger forecast. Joel Wing is the new com missioner at Wrangell which bodes we'll for all concerned; good morn ing. Judge, it wasn't me, it was couple of other fellers making that haul inside the markers. District Attorney Pat Gilmore Jr., is not winning any trout derbies when poor old newspaperman has to fatch his breakfast for him. Moth ing there to dispel inertia, except perhaps that We had to measure to be sure the things were over six inches. If Wildlife Director Clar- ence Rhode has raised that limit we might get over our inertia in hurry. Aeronautics Director Tony Schwamm is in Southeast Alaska which might of been unusual had he not given a statement to the press and the next day Mark Jen- gen wrote a letter to the editor, leaving the Palmer airport situation fluid; normalcy again; politics as usual. Sid Charles is still calling Bill Bakers paper the Comical and Bill is calling Sid's the Fish Trap News. So everything's normal on the ketchikan front. Although there Is some indication of Sid being in- flicted with some of the Periscope's inertia. He hasn't had a piece har- booming the "Gruening machine" for several days now That is not normalcy The Mukluk Telegraph is being published at Kotzebue, appar- ently in the interests of partisan politics during the Second Division campaign, but you can't tell whose partiRan. It's mostly filled with pie lures of Democrats and Republicans seeking public office, bedrock normal situation in a campaign year.
 Ho hum, it's time to either make point or a paragraph in this odys- ssy inertia, so we'll make a point period.

Stuffed animals with button eyes
which may become loose, whistles

ing to the National Safety Council,
some 600 small children under 5
years of age die each year as re-
suit of suffocation by ingested

For small children, select wash
able playthings colored with nom

or death.
Electrical toys of any type are
unsafe for very young children.
For older children, select only
those which bear the seal of ap-

cuse for father taking over the

rem are taught how to play with

HOW TO SELECT TOYS

In an interview with good old st.
Nicholas, the Delaware Salty Coun-
Gil found the genial gentleman per-
fectly willing to cooperate in an
4endeavor to provide safe toys for
children at Christmas time. But he
insisted that parental cooperation
is necessary.
So with Santa's approval, the
Delaware Salty Council is making
"a community wide appeal to par
4ents in "Play Safe" campaign to
buy Christmas toys which will
spell joy rather than the tragedy
so often recounted in holiday head
lines.
Select playthings which are ap-
propriate to the (a) age, (b) inter-
est, and (c) mental and physical
abilities of the child.
Wise selection is not enough
Some parental teaching or super
vision is a second important step
An air rifle, archery set, dart
game, sharp knife or chemistry
set, may become dangerous in the
hands of children too young to un-
derstand the hazards involved
Even older children should have
adult supervision with play equip
ment of this type.
Since babies and toddlers invari.
ably follow the rule, from hanc
to mouth, for everything they
handle, care should be taken to see
that they do not play with small
toys, marbles, jacks coins, beads,
sor any very small object. Check all
