Angered Burglar Sets
Fire When Safe Empty

CINCINNATI.-A burglar, an
gered because he couldn't crack
a safe in the Queen City Laundry
here, set fire to the place and
left a note telling why.
The note, found in the laundry
office, said:
Next time leave some money
around. See what you had to pay
for not having money handy for
a poor Teller. Your poor safe
So sorry. Haw, haw, haw."
Fire Marshal Joseph Devine
said kerosene had been spilled
over office furniture to start the
fire. A Waterman in a next-door
warehouse saw the blaze, how
ever, and damage was limited to
5000.

Policemen Sell Blood
To Help Fellow Officer

ST. PAUL, MINN.-St. Paul po-
licemen are doing something unique
for a unique fellow officer, Alfred
E. Chg AID Jacobson.
jacobson had one of his lungs
removed recently in Rochester,
MINI. His officer friends made a
deal with the Rochester hospital,
which billed jacobson for $500. The
hospital agreed to take their blood
at SIS a pint and apply it to Jakob-
sons bill.
Four officers went to Rochester,
contributed a pint of blood apiece
and knocked $500 off the bill. Other
officers are planning to follow suit.
Big Al-he's 6 foot lis a familiar
figure in the St. Paul loop, where he
has been a traffic officer most of
the time since 1929.
Always eager to help tourists, ia
Robson produced, at his own ex-
pense, pocket sized maps of the
Twin Cities and handed them to
confused visitors.
Then Big Al developed another
idea, after night motorists almost
clipped him a couple of times.
He sewed rejecting green mate
rial on the palm side of his right
mitten, and red on the back.
At night he'd halt traffic with a
wave of the red, then a them
on by turning and opening his hand.
But more unique among police
men was ~Jakobson's refusal of a
promotion to detective.
Big Al had a good reason. He
was studying law nights. If he took
the detective rank he'd have to quit
his studies to serve a night shift
now and then.
He kept his patrolman's rank,
worked days and studied nights,
right up to the time he became ill
Just before he got sick he passed
an examination for the rank of de-
tective lieutenant. He was certified
to that position, but never has had
a chance to work at 1t.

Service Gives
German Women
Will 10 Live

NUREMBERG, V
Hundreds of German women, ex-
hausted and depressed by 10 years
of war, poverty and uncertainty
have found strength to 60 on living
with the help Of the Bavarian
Mothers Service.
This 15-year-old independent vol
untary agency Of the Evangelical
church Of Germany, headed by DR..
Antonio Nopitsch, is helping about
1000 women a year to find them
selves again. It operates sever
rest homes" where a woman can
have a two-week spiritual retreat
from the struggle against poverty
and trouble.
One Of the rest homes and also
a Bible school and the headquarters
of the service, overlooks the green
farmlands Of Stein, near here. There
a mother can find a soft bed, quiet
ness, spiritual help and friends. It
is a complete change of surround
ings.
Unable to Sleep
Some mothers who come to Stein
and to the other rest homes have
been sleeping on straw mattresses
and chairs for so long in crowded
room in Bavarian villages that
they cannot sleep on soft beds the
first few nights.
cts like heaven" exclaimed one
woman. 'It's like a fairy story here.
It's all light and bright and there is
plenty of room and big windows.
Everyone is so friendly-I feel I
am loved again"
The small, tired m o t h e r spoke
with tears in her eyes. She gazed
at the pictures on the walls of the
dinin G room, longingly. Her face
was lined, but she smiled occasion
ally as she told of her life in the
last few years as a refugee.
Her husband was the manager of
a distillery in upper Silesia, now a
Russian occupied territory. They
had three children. He joined the
German army in January, 1915, and
was taken prisoner by the Russians.
He was sent back to her in October,
1916, i'll and depressed. He died a
year later. .
She and many other women in the
village, in the same plight, fled with
their children by wagon across the
border into the Bavarian forest.
They live in peasant houses and vii
lagos. Some day they would like to
60 back home when the Russians
are gone"
Many Can't Get Jobs
They cannot get jobs because Of
current unemployment. There r
about 100, 600 such mothers in the
area served by the Bavarian Moth
ers' service. They are allowed about
SIP a month from the government,
in an economy where a pair of shoes
costs So.
Nobody wants Them" said DR..
Nopitsch. "It is o t for those
women whose husbands return from
Russian camps.
ST man returns, exhausted
without energy, ideas or initiative.
He is always thinking a b ut his
comrades who were left behind in
camp. He is hardened. He does his
own sewing. He has been away for
so many years that the children
don't recognize him as their father.
Imagine what this does to his
wife, who has grown old with the
cares and worries of trying to make
ends meet. Difficulties arise and
the neighbors gossip. There are
seven million more w m N than
men in Germany, so that the men
are encircled by women.

No FHALoans Made Here

Local contractors and pros- pective house builders have failed to take advantage of FILA loans now available at the Bank of Kodiak, Marshall Crutcher, president, said We'd nesday.
 There has been consider able talk and one builder has mentioned building five or six houses but to date there have not been any loans made und- CT the FHA," Crutcher said.
 Most persons prefer to take a straight bank loan for build- ing rather than stand a techni- cal appraisal of the proposed building by FILA representa- tives in Juneau, Crutcher ex- plained.
 He also added, "The delay caused by the processing of the FILA application is ano- ther reason why local builders are not using the program.
 Crutcher pointed out that anyone desiring to obtain loans through the FILA is vel come to come to the bank and discuss it with the officers.

More Road
 Funds Sought

A request for an increase in the yearly appropriations made by the Alaska Road Commission for the mainten- ance of roads on Kodiak Is- land will be made by the Chamber of Commerce.
 The decision to apply for the additional funds was made af- ter the regular luncheon Tues day.
 Harold Stover, local repre- sentative and maintenance man, told of the need for add itional equipment and men ne- cessary to maintain the roads. He explained that the funds now received are earmarked for maintenance and nothing i is provided for improvements and other work.
 John Hughes and John Gib- bons, members of the c of c public land and roads commit tee, were asked to work with Slower and prepare a letter for the Juneau office of the ARC. Tentative plans for a fare we'll dinner for Adm. F. D. Wagner, 17th naval district commandant who is retiring from naval service next month, were discussed. The date for the dinner will be an- nounced later.
 James Martz resigned his chairmanship of the base-town committee. President Merrill Coon will appoint a new chair man this week.
 A committee, to be selected later, will investigate the pos abilities of having the base post office made a branch of the local office rather than of Seattle.
 Chamber members pointed out that base civilian workers are permitted to use zone one rates and thereby able to pur7 chase goods more cheaply in the states than local mer- chants, who pay zone eight rates. ,a-
 The group decided to write the postal department in Washington, D. C., as soon as the commanding officers of the district and base are notified.

UFA Members Blockade Ten Island Ports

Kodiak fishermen went or strike Thursday morning for higher salmon prices for the 1850 season.
 A blockade by members ot the United Fishermen of A. laska was placed on all can- nery supplies coming into Ko- diak and nine canneries and villages around Kodiak Island
 The strike will remain in effect until negotiations are resumed with the Alaska Sal- mon Industry. The union is asking that Kodiak fishermen be paid the same prices for salmon this season as were paid to fishermen in the Cor dova area last year.
 Peter Gilmore, Juneau, rep resentative for the ASI, was here two weeks ago and offer ed the union the same contract it held last year.
 Local fishermen last year received 66 cents for reds; q cents for pinks; 27 cents for chums and 60 cents for silvers.
 Cordova paid the following prices in 1949: reds, 80 cents. pinks, 30 cents; chtms, 40 cents, and silvers, 75 cents.
 '"The ASI and the Alaska Steamship Company have been notified. of the action" P. J. Kerrigan, secretary of the union, said Thursday.
 The strike vote was taken of the members of the union a. round the island and the re- suits show that the majority favored striking, Il to 1, Ker- rigan said.
 Sealed ballots were used in taking the strike vote and g quorum of officers was called in to open and count the. bal lots Thursday morning at the Union Hall.
 There are HOO fishermen and cannery workers in the UFA, Kerrigan said.
 Ballots were collected in AL itak, Moser Bay, Carmel, Lar sen Bay, Uyak Bay, Uganik Bay, Port Williams, Port Bail ey, Ouzinkie and Kodiak.
 Pat Cannon. president of the UFA, and other officers made the trip around the is land for the collection of the ballots.
 The Seafarers International of San Francisco, parent or ganization of the union, has also been advised of the ac- ton, Kerrigan said.

Jasper Game

JASPER NATIONAL PARK, Al
berta.-The story of Jasper Ma
tional Park. the largest national
park In North America. is not
complete without reference to the
wild life which abounds in this
vast game preserve of 4.200 square
miles In the Canadian Rockies.
The only hunting permitted in
Jasper Park is with q camera.
No matter where one goes In
Jasper. he win see wild life-com-
ical black and brown bears. timid
fawns and older deer. and noun
tain sheep. goat. moose. elk. beav-
er and caribou.
Jasper has many other fur
bearing animals. not all as spec
tacular as those mentioned. There
is, Of course, the "fretful" porcu-
pine, the most inoffensive and
inactive Of all animals. The
Rocky Mountain marmot, known
as "whistlers." lives in Jasper.
Marten. otter, fisher and mink
also are to be found in Jasper.
Among the smaller animals are
the common hare. the Northern
chipmunk, the Columbian and
mantled squirrel. the little Hud-
son Bay red squirrel and the
larger flying squirrel.
Timber wolves are seldom found
in the park. except in the extreme
northern areas, but the mounted
police and park wardens make
short work of these intruders.
In addition to many of the
common varieties. of birds such
as robins, bluebirds and humming
birds, one will also find ospreys,
bald eagles and the dun-covered
buffalo bird.
Along quiet trails one will often
come across partridge pheasant
and spruce grouse (fool hem and,
in high attitudes, ptarmigan. Wild
ducks. particularly mallards, are
often found on small lakes and,
in June especially, Canada geese
use the mountain tarns of Jasper
as stopover points en- route north.

New Passenger Boat Begins
He||'s Canyon Thrill Rides

LEWISTON, Idaho.-The twin
engined Chief Joseph recently
completed history's first passenger
boat run through Hell's Canyon
of Snake River.
The adventurous voyage of the
31foot craft, carrying nine per-
sons 212 miles from Weiser to
Lewiston, Idaho, ended with only
three Scuffs on the oak-and-ply-
wood hull.
Blaine Stubblefield, technical
writer, native of the Snake River
country, who developed the Hell's
Canyon navigation plan and built
the Chief Joseph, said that the
trip was nerve-racking for the
crew, but that all members of the
boats company wanted to do it
again.
The Chief Joseph will be kept
in operation this season, Mr..
Stubblef1eld stated. Meanwhile,
another craft of even more un-
conventional design is being de-
veloped out of current experience,
for future use.
Engineer at Helm.
Capt. Steward v. Winslow, 70,
of Portland, Greg, veteran mas
ter or the Columbia and Snake
Rivers, stood on the pilots bridge
during the entire 81 hours under
way, directing maneuvers over the
laundering rollers.
Reau Gibson, gray haired New
England engineer, now of Clarks-
ton, Wash, was at the helm
through all the rough water. He
was largely responsible for ac-
complishing what many fast
water experts believed could not
be done, mainly by steel-nerved
courage and quick decision, rather
than pilot experience.
Mr.. Stubblefield stood high on
the fore deck at Mr.. Gibson's left,
holding to the canopy frame to
get a farther view ahead, giving
directions as to rocks, shoal water
and channel.
The Chief Joseph is equipped
with complete galley, ice box and
flush toilet. But crew and passen-
gers sleep ashore. No kind of
economically practical boat can
ascend the upper canyon. The
craft will be trucked back to
Weiser for each trip. Kyle Nc
Grady operates a regular service
80 miles up to johnson Bar.
Two Hits, Two Bumps.
Mr.. Stubblefield said that the
Chief Joseph struck Idaho shore
rocks twice-once in Buck Creek
