S0R0pTIMISTS HEAR
 ABOUT HAIR STYLES
 BY MRS. PARMENTER

Ilah Parmenter, who chose as
 her subject, Hair Styles and their
 History addressed Soroptimists at
 their noon meeting on the Baranof
 Terrace Friday -~
 Tracing hair styles back to 31
 B.C., when they were more or less
 the prerogative of men, Mrs. Par
 menter said that mans standing in
 his community was based in an-
 cient times on the number of wigs
 he owned. Bringing her history up to the last hundred years or so, she explained that the hairstyles ot the American Indians were deter mined by the tribes to which they belonged
 Speaking of more recent hair styles and style oddities, Mrs. Par menter told of her trip around the
 Pacific on the same ship on which
 Robert Believe It or Not" Ripley
 was passenger when she and MT. Ripley found very fashionable Suva women with bright red hair treated with lime for a two-fold
 reason-they liked the fashionable
 red-"and the lime killed the bugs. The six-hour bridal hairdress Of fashionable Japanese, she told ! about, adding that since the ad- vent of the American G.I., that fashion, too, has probably been brought up to date. Who would spend six hours on a hairdress in {; 1850. An American bride? Her hair could be dressed in acout an hour. Vice-President Gertrude Wetzel presided at the meeting in the ab- sence of President Alice Thorne.

ONE THIRD OF
 RUBY RAzED BY
 FIERCE BLAZE

FAIRBANKS-Fire of undeter- mined origin has destroyed ap- proximately one-third of the town of Ruby, Yukon river village 250 miles west of Fairbanks. Damage was estimated at between $150,000 and $200,000.
 No persons were reported in jured, although the entire portion of the village west of the river was leveled by flames. Ruby has an esti- mated population of 600.
 Believed to have originated in a machine shop belonging to Stanley Nichols, US. marshal, the flames ignited 200 barrels of gasoline and oil and spread to the Northern Commercial warehouse, the Stand ard Oil warehouse and trading post, all of which were burned to the ground.
 The fire was discovered by Sam and Tommy White, bush pilots, who were staying in Rucy overnight while on a mail run. The pilots threw three chemical fire bombs in the burning machine shop but the heat was too great for them to be effective.
 A Cessna aircraft of undiScloseo ownership was destroyed. but an other plane, truck and ' barrels of fuel were saved.
 Sam White said that tops of oi barrels flew high into the air spreading the flames as the drums exploded.
 The rest of the town was saveC only by favorable wind which blew the flames toward the river

 HERE UNTOUCHED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-lR- Re- duction of Army National Guard strength in all states. and territories except Alaska is announced by the Defense Department. The cut in- wolves 6,515 members of the guard.
 Mai. Gen. Kenneth F. Cramer, Chief of the National Guard Bur reau. said the states will have un- til Feb. 20 to get down to a 350,000 man ceiling, set by the current (fiscal 195O) budget. The Guard totalled 356,515 officers and men on Dec. 20, 1949.
 Alaska is exempted from the cut back order because the territory 's about 600 men under its tentatively authorized strength of 923.
 The present and adjusted strength of state and territorial Guard units includes:
 Oregon 4,407; 4,319.
 Washington 4,408; 4.320.
 Because Alaska has only recently begun organization of its Nationa Guard units, no ceiling of strength has been placed on Alaska and this number has been reserved for it.

HAYNES, 5kAGWAY
 ASK CONNECTING
 ROAD TO CUTOFF

Twin resolutions from the coun- cils of Haines and Skagway were received today by the governor $ office asking that the two com munities be joined by a highway.
 The towns propose that a road lead from between Haines and Klukwan, on the Haines Cutoff, into the Klondike Gateway, giving that community of 800 persons access to the states other than by air. The two lie some 12 miles apart by water, although the road would be some miles longer.
 Skagways resolution, signed by Dr. R. A. Smithson, president of the chamber of commerce there, asked that the matter be taken up with the Alaska Community Fa- cilities projects, in conjunction With the Alaska Road Commission. It points out mo apparent obstacles of magnitude" need be overcome to cuild the road.
 The Haines proposal, signed by Leonard H. King, mayor of the town, said that favorable reports nave been received from toth the road commission and other Interior Depe rtment offices.
 The Faines Cutof. -oaC iS not open this winter, because Canadian authorities said they were unable to expend funds to keep the pass open into the Alcan Highway.

LAX RECEIpT5 PLAN WORKED OUT BY 21 SCHOOL DISTRICT MEN

A comprehensive formula by which money accruing from the tobacco tax may be allocated to Territorial school districts has been worked out for presentation to the Territorial Board of Education by 21 representatives of Aiaskas 26 school districts, it was announced today by Dr. James c. Ryan, Terri torial Commissioner of Education.
 The men gathered here the latter part of the week to make plans for distribution of the money, which in the first two quarters of the year has already amounted to $299000. The Board of Education has power, according to a ruling by the attor- ney general, to distribute the money for construction and maintenance as it sees fit.
 The meeting was to form pre- liminary plan to present Before the Eoard, so it may take action when it meets in May.
 The formula takes into account yearly needs of each district, allow ing for attendance changes, growth, dimunition, and prospects for new districts growing up in the future. Dr. Ryan said only districts not represented were those at Unalaska, Kodiak, Seldovia, Eagle and Peli- can.
 He termed the formula as a mathematical type, which allows for changes bound to take place as time goes on. Each district is thus assured of money required to main- tain it's schools on a proper level with others, whether it has many students or only a few
 The tobacco tax was enacted by the past legislature, money being earmarked specifically for upkeer for schools throughout Alaska.

Log Rafts Conquer Gulf; Owens Is Here Planning More lows


 raft across the treacherous waters of the Gulf of Alaska is now in Ju- neau discussing his 1850 plans for logging and rafting.
 A. E. Owens, senior member of the firm of Owens Brothers, who log spruce and hemlock in the vic- inity of Hood Bay on Admiralty Is- lands western coast, conferred with officials of the Columbia Lumber Company, to whom he sells many of his logs, and Forest Service men, from whom he leases logging rights.
 He sent four rafts last season across to Whittier, on Prince Will liam Sound, to Columbia's mill there, and next year plans on send ing 12. He also sends pulpwood south to Ocean Falls while mills in the north are shut down. Five rafts will go below during winter months, he believes.
 The tedious 60O-mile tows into Whittier have been successful be- cause of the type of raft his com pany uses-the Gibson"
 The Gibson raft, which takes some three weeks to construct, con- tains from 650,00O to 100000 board feet of logs, and when secured. moves along in the water as if it were just one log, instead of hun dreds.
 The lumber company to the west ward finds it cheaper to purchase it's raw materials from the Owens Brothers than to buy logs in the Sound area, despite the distance and long haul involved.
 The Gibson Brothers, who log near Tahas, B. O., developed the unusual raft, and they sent James H. Levesly to Hood Bay to supervise construction of Alaska's first of the type. They had lowed 100 rafts with no loss off the west coast of Nave Island-so it was obvious they had something.
 Owens explained carefully how the raft is built, but to layman's ears it seemed like hundreds of feet of cable and lots of logs all put together by mathematical for mula and presto-there was your raft!
 A mat" of logs is stretched in the water, and the raft built on it, after numerous two-inch cables are laid across the mat, or base. Then when logs are high enough, the cables are brought together to such tightness they sink into the wood, and the raft is done-and the mat put aside until a new raft is to be built.
 Nine Day Pull
 The tug Adak hauls the raftS- she can make some 21a knots with her 450-horse engine, with some 1900 feet of cable out behind. She takes nine days to cross to Whit tier.
 Logs may be lowed south when mills in Alaska are imperative be- cause of weather or other condi- tions, and are known as distress logs." Owens explained. These in most cases are used for pulp.
 Operations have slowed down during the past year at the broth ers' camp-only four million feet sawed this year, compared to 12 millions last year. Thirty-five log gers live on a converted navy scow, furnished with all new equipment.
 This most modern camp in South east Alaska boasts a four-way com- munication radio set, with which it can call it's two boats, talk to Alaska Coastal Airlines, and get in- to the Alaska Communications Sys- tenn. If a doctor is needed, one can be there inside of 30 minutes, he said.
 The next raft will go over the Gulf in April. In the meantime, there's work to he done, and Owens is getting it accomplished.
