VA REPORTS INCREASE IN G.I. INSURANCE ACCOUNTS

The Veterans Administration reveals that more than 7,149,000 National Service Life Insurance policies, held by World War II veterans are now in force-a 23 per cent increase over the 5,595,000 policies that were ac- tive three years ago.
 Twenty-four per cent of the G.I. insurance policies have been converted to permanent plans of insurance, according to the VA. In January, 1947, perma- nent policies amounted to only 12 per cent of the total.
 The average NSLI policy to- day is $5,760, as compared with a S6,096 average in January, 1947.
 In the Pacific Northwest area, active G.I. insurance accounts held by veterans of World War II total 175, 5,286, out of a possible 58O,O00, or more than one-third of the active and inactive ac- counts administered by the Se- attle VA District Office.
 More than 6O,OOO of these policies, or 35 per cent of the active accounts, have been con- verted to permanent policies, as compared to 18,664, or 10 per cent, three years ago.

The large audi ence was pleasantly surprised to find Homer is so abounding with talent. It was a difficult task for the judges to select the winners of the amateur show. First prize went to Make McClay who played the guitar and sang. The Kilchers won second prize with their variety of music and comedy and Chris Christensen walked off with third prize with his comedy dialogue.

Stock Market Drifts
Moderately Lower
In Quiet Dealings
By the Assoeiufed Press

NEW YORK, Feb. %. The
stock market went into a gentle
decline today.
Quotations for a wide variety
of leading shares were clipped
fractions to around point, with
the great majority below a point.
The declines resulted mainly
from caution inspired by the con-
tinued deadlock in the coal strike.
Selling pressure was never severe.
Neither buyers nor sellers were
throwing their weight around
while they awaited fresh develop
ments in the coal crisis.
Business was moderately active
and about on a par with yesterday
when 100000 shares changed
hands.
Radio-television issues gave
ground readily. Motorola and
Zenith each lost a point or more
while fractional declines were post
ed for Admiral, Emerson, Philco,
and Radio Corp.
Chrysler held it's ground better
than most despite the fact that
the company's plants have been
closed for weeks by strike.
Lower prices were paid for
United States Steel, Bethlehem
Steel, General Motors, Packard,
Montgomery Ward, Douglas Air
craft, Schenley. American Tele-
phone, Consolidated Edison, Ken

BUS TRANSFORMATION GREATLY INCREASED,
 FOR ALASKA CHILDREN

So many school children are now getting to their classes by bus in Alaska, the department of edu- cations transportation budget is going to fall short about $70,O0O this year, James T. Ryan, com missioner of education, announced recently. However there's no oc- casion for alarm, he hastened to add; other items of the budget un- der Dr. Ryan will be over that amount, and he'll simply transfer funds to meet the deficit.
 Dr. Ryan said that one child out of every seven in the Territory now reaches his classroom by bus. There were 700 more bus pupils this year than there were last. h. cidentally, the longest bus ride any student takes is the 22-mile stretch from Eklutna to Anchor age, which several children make.

Tree And Timber Talk
by c w. Comfort

Good management of the farm
woodlands brings in extra farm
income. More farmers are taking
advantage of the forestry service
offered by agricultural agencies
IN Holmes County.
Last week Sidney Peacock of
near Acona used the services of
the local foresters. Mr. Peacock
nad several acres of pine and
hardwood land from which he
wanted to see some timber. The
foresters went into the woods with
Mr.. Peacock and marked with
spots of yellow paint the trees that
would be best to sell now. AS the
trees were marked for harvest,
their volume was also measured.
At the end Of the job, Mr.. Pea
cock was given an itemixed list
OF the marked trees by size, kind,
and volume Of board feet thew
measured. With this inventory
Mr.. Peacock knows exactly what
ne has to sell and the sawmill
man knows exactly what he is
buying. The sale price Of the trees
marked for cutting is agreed on
between the farmer and the saw
mill operator.
{. V. Maxwell and Hoover Max
well of Pickens used the services
of the local foresters in selecting
trees to be thinned from their
young pine plantations set out by
the CCC Camp Is years ago. The
pines were growing too close to-
gether for their size, and thinn-
ing was recommended.
The foresters marked the pines
that should be cut. They were
selected from the standpoint of
