Time For Plain Talk
By Tom Burke

and perform function specific to the depart
ment with which they are connected.
For example, Mr.. A., veteran, is advised
by his own doctor that he has heart condi-
ton due to wounds he received in the war.
AS result he no longer can work and must
be hospitalized. He goes to the Veterans Ad-
ministration to apply for service connected,
permanent, total disability benefits and hos
pitalization.
Under the proposed bill, the Veterans Ad-
ministration would have to send Mr. A to the
United Medical Administration for examina-
ton to establish disability and service con-
nection Then the M d C a Administration
would send him back to the Veterans Admin
istration and the two agencies would enter
negotiations to determine ~ is he disabled?
(2) is it service connected? (3) need he be hos
pitalized? and (4) if so, when and how much
will the Veterans Administration pay to the
Medical Administration for his care?
I am strongly of the opinion that all this
red tape would prevent many veterans, be-
cause of the inconvenience, from receiving the
service to which they are entitled and that
1t would cost great deal more to operate.
AS far as the military hospitals are con-
cerned, believe that the medical departments
of the armed services are established to take
care of specific phase of our national de-
fense In case of war, don't believe that our
armed services can be required to stop and
argue with an agency. not part of the Defense
Department about who shall be our field
personnel, where base hopsitals and dressing
stations shall be located or to what hospitals
casualties shall be consigned.
Most of the work of House members in

still pending, it is impossible to predict a
closing date at this time.

In Our Opinion
BY HOWARD REDIGER

WHAT HAPPENS when a monopolistic
w newspaper sticks its nose into the busi-
ness of strong labor union, shifting at every
bad rumor peddled by rumor- -mongers? The
answer is worth more than glance and should
be story in itself. In my opinion this Is what
happens.
/. Creates situation in which an employee
is expelled from the union after the employee
becomes the recipient of $4,000 worth of law
services from the law firm which was found"
by the newspaper.
2. Creates a situation that causes the fl
nancial secretary of the union to be fired"
by the International Executive Board.
3. Creates a situation that results in III
dues-offce girls losing their jobs.
A. Hamstrings a union so as to cause
financial crisis when there actually is no
crisis.
s. Creates a false impression about the fl
nancial condition of the union when the union
is in good financial condition.
6. Tries to cause false concern about the
"books"
T. Smears the Vice President of the Inter-
national Union as possible thief
g. Implies the same thing about close fol-
lowers of the International Vice-President

Labor Citizens Committee.

This will be the second scoring,

Pastures, says Phillips, will get
the most attention. They will be
scored on both quantity and quail
ity. Control of weeds, hay and

fed to cows on pasture will all be
considered.

Lake Resident Gets
 Lost in Fog

WASILLA - Last Tuesdays dense fog on Lake Lucille gave Mrs. Courtney Fleming some very unpleasant memories to recall someday for her grandchildren. Mrs. Fleming was lost for several hours in the fog that blanketed the lake.
 She started from her home, on the west end of Lake Lucille, to Hallea Lodge by boat. The fog settled down so thickly that she lost her way completely. Mrs. Fleming beached the boat at sev- eral spots to try to orient herself. Finally she pulled the boat to shore and decided to walk along the lakes edge.
 She had advanced only a little way, when her feet slipped into a well trodden trail. She fol- lowed the path and soon, to her surprise, found herself back on her own doorstep.

Ketchikan's civic center, which provides recreation for the towns youth, a haven for Ketchikan's fishermen, a hall for religious services, a roller rink, school luncheon and a club meeting room, all under one roof, is de- scribed in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor. Mrs. Jessie Arndt, editor of the wom- ans page, visited the center on her recent tour of the Territory.
 The woman journalist praises the project as an ideal civic cen ter, offering recreational facili- ties to teen-agers and adults alike. The center is under the manage ment of Peter Sanstol, who earlier had organized a youth program in Petersburg, through one of the churches there.

Valley Chamber members learned last week that $150 had been expended on Col ony Day in excess of the pro- grams receipts.

The city would like to gain title to the property, and in turn to give a long-term lease to a private in vestor who would develop the project.
 The hoped-for housing would be made up of rental units, on which military personnel and Federal employees would have first priority.
 The city sewer and water lines must be extended to the project area, before an AHA project may be constructed there.

tempted by applying the new
technique, developed entirely
through experiments with a
series of dogs in Boston and
Cleveland.
Removed to the Children's
hospital in Cincinnati, after
one week at home, the infant
was "shadowed" by the hospi-
tai staff as a pure example of
what new technique in sur
gerry could do with children
born with malformed digestive
tracts. She remained a patient
there for six weeks.
Upon request, the parents
were asked to return the child
in eight months and further
study would be made on her
condition. 1t was contended
that additional strength as the
child grew older would aid
tremendously in the event that

operations were necessary
BY the time when Margies first birthday rolled around,
her physical condition seemed only aggravated by her afflic-
ton. Taken to Chldrens hospital for the second time, she
remained for a period of six weeks and was dismissed. Again
observation and a thorough study of her case was the concern
of the attending physicians.
Time proves an undoing of many things. After many
periodical checkups during the following year, it was decided
by the hospital staff her condition would stand two delicate
operations In July, 1916, Margie was admitted to the hos
pttal and two operations performed. Her condition improved,
the now two-year-old Miss was removed to her home after
beng a patient for four months.
Again, the parents were requested to return the child at
regular intervals for observation.
Now, after over three years, and after many group con-
situations by noted surgeons, it was decided that the intricate
new operation would be attempted, the first of its kind known
to surgery. One noted surgeon on the case stated, "This type
of anment was first noted in 1925, but it was 100 years before
medicine developed any method of surgical treatment"
From 1925, until this new operation was developed, the
accepted treatments involved either cutting a permanent in
operations, sometimes satisfactory and sometimes ending in
complete failure.
The noted Cincinnati surgeon had now developed his ex-
perlmentS and after years of studying "MargieS" case pre-
pared what many hoped would be the solution for making
children born with uniformed digestive tracts look forward
to years of healthy life. Last October, the Cincinnati surgeon
headed the six-member team which performed the operation;
six hours were necessary to complete it. In Margies case, IA
inches of colon were removed. In addition. other internal cor
rectionS were made in order to provide normal bodily
functioning.
To brief the ultimate outcome of the operation, "Margie"
arrived home two weeks before Christmas to enjoy the Yule
season with her parents and sister, Julia.
Today, "Margie" is a normal child, just past six years, en-
joying life in a fashion most typical in any American home
at the Estadt residence on Main street. She looks forward to
entering her first year in school next year. Her favorite pet
is Jimmie" a large angora cat.
Her mother was the former Adelia Smith, and her father
is co-owner of the Caldwell Implement & Supply Co, East
street. Joseph Estadt, of East street, is a grandfather.
To date, two other similar operations have been per-
formed. 1t was expressed that before the operation was de-
Neloped by a Boston surgeon, the children so afflicted, their
future would have meant discomfort, illness, and in many
cases death. About even such cases a year are found where
the colon is malfornI d.

The county agent said that
conditions in the field of agri-
culture had reached the critical

while the gross income of most
farmers had fallen off. Other
problems facing farmers are the
high cost of farm land plus the
NECESSITY for more equipment
