must be above approach:
 5-Eaeh enumerator must be in good health and must not have any physical or mental defect which might prevent him from perform ing the duties of the position sat- Isfaetorily. The work involves a great deal of walking and standing TT extended periods.
 6-Applicants with veteran pref erence who meet these require ments will be given preference over nonveteran applicants.
 7-The preferred age group. is 25 to 45 and required age limit is 21 to 65, inclusive.
 S-In general, compensation will be on a piece-rate basis. The emu merator will be paid 12 cents per person, 15 cents per infant, 10 cents per dwelling unit and 50 cents per farm.
 9-Each enumerator will be as signed an enumeration district. He will be charged with the responsi- billty of enumerating each person and each dwelling unit in that dis trict. As his pay is on piece price basis he can work as many hours as he chooses in completing his as signment, which should take from two to four weeks.
 For the next 10 years the repre- sentation in the territorial legisla- ture will be based on this census Therefore, it ' becomes important that every person in the First Di- vision be enumerated because of the tremendous growth of popula- tion in the Third and Fourth Di- visions which will give these di- visions a greater percentage of the population of Alaska, therefore al- lowing them more members in the house of representatives.

Health Council
 Hears Visitor

The Wrangell Health Council met at the Health Center Tuesday evening with good turnout 0: representatives of local organiza- lions.
 Miss Elizabeth Moxley, health educational consultant. gave an in- teresting talk on the object of the health educational program which is being instituted in the schools Miss Moxley says that the full re- snlt of the program will not be evident until the children who are now being educated in health ur- der properly trained teachers, grow up and have families of their own. The health educational classes will be held at the school from until 5:30 p. m. on Mondays and Wednes- days and from until D. m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Evening classes will be held at the Wran- gell Institute
 Since the institute schedule of classes had not yet been arranged no date was set for the showing of the films that Miss Moxley feels all parents should attend. The nov ies will be shown in the high school Auditorium with no admission charge. The film titles are, Human Growth, Social and Emotional Growth of Children, and the School Learned to Eat.
 Superintendent of Schools George Fabricius has arranged for Dr. Mar quardt to hold an opticol clinic here the latter part of March. City Health Nurse Arne Bulkley said that among the children who show evidence of needing glasses, there are about 15 who may need them but may be unable to pay for them. Means of providing them was dis cussed, with the conclusion that different organizations would prob ably be willing to share the ex- pense. Marion Benjamin, Virginia Hay and Teddy Schwartz volnn- teered to help at the clinic.
 Norman Whitaker reported that the shelves which he had planned to install in the loan closet had acquired runners, and the children at the Institute are sliding on them He said he would still see that the closet had shelves. The closet has been painted by Mrs. Frank ZeppI and Miss Bulkley but it is far from being equipped. Means of equip ping it were discussed but no so- lution was found, except to remind the public that donations of items are needed.
 The Health Council has been without chairman for many months, while Mrs zepp, secretary has been acting chairman. Ruth Binkley volunteered and was elected.
 Miss Bulkley reported that the milk program at school is running smoothly. It was presented to the children as an experiment in weight gaining, and the children who seemed to need the extra nu- triton are all drinking milk.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Somebody appeared to have poured an extra shot of high-life into Alaska's political punch bowl. The business of politics was pick ing up speed. Last week in Jun eau the Republicans made whoopee amid flows of oratory at their Lin coin day dinner It was reliably reported that even White and self styled black Republicans broke bread together in an effort at party harmony and to try to beat those consistently winning Demo- crats Their main speaker was R. E. Robertson of Juneau. Last Tuesday in Ketchikan the Demo- crats made the welkin ring at their Jackson Day dinner, lauding their own stewardship of govern mental affairs, and viewing with alarm anything that might sayor of Republicanism. Their speaker was the Chief Executive of the Territory, Gov. Ernest Gruening
 Meanwhile, the donkey-riders were pointing for their Divisional convention In Sitka on March 2. Precinct caucuses were being held this week and next throughout the Division to elect delegates to the big political shindig in Baranof's old home town. Divisional Chair man James Nolan of Wrangell had sent out the word and the Demos were going into action, determined to make it another Democratic year.
 On the national scene Demo- cratic interest centered in the $100 per plate Jackson dinner last week in the national capital while Jun eau and north Demos were begin ming to lay plans for a Jackson Jefferson day dinner some time next month. Political interest ob- viously was on the rise.
 With the primary still a couple of months away, candidates, too, were getting active. This week Alfred A. Owen, member of the House last session from the Third Division and now a candidate for Commissioner of Labor on the Democratic ticket, was making al swing through the Southeast. Owen, former resident of Ket- chikan, now lives in Anchorage. He was the author of the bill creating the Alaska Department of Fisheries which was passed by theI last Legislature and took an acti"e leadership on lsoor legislation. Prior to moving to Anchorage he was a fisherman out of Kodiak. He's opposed for the nominati by Ross Kimball of Fairbanks who ran as an Independent candidate for Labor Commissioner in 1946.
 Fred G. Hanford, Chairman of the First Division Board of Assess ment and Equalization and general chairman of all the divisional boards, was in Juneau last week in connection with his duties. De- spite the court action brought in Fairbanks against the new pro- perty law, assessment work on the whole has progressed remarkably well, he reported. There are still many hurdles to be cleared in trac- ing down property owners who have moved, or who have died leaving property title unclear. he said
 Injunction has been granted by Federal Judge Pratt in Fairbanks - restraining the Tax Commissioner from collecting under the property tax law and the case is scheduled to go to trial in April.
