81, $4,000 Is
Released By State
For Teachers

TALLAHASSEE, April IL
(P).-The cabinet today released
another $2,374,000 earmarked en-
tirely for teachers salaries. The
money is entirely to tide county
schools over at least until the
legislature meets a year from
now.
Comptroller c. M. Gay told
the cabinet budget commission
the state general fund could
stand the withdrawal because
state agencies had saved more
than had been anticipated during
the first three quarters of this
business year and there were
some unexpected tax receipts.
School Superintendent Thomas
D. Bailey, who had proposed that
the legislature be called back
into special session if necessary
to raise money for the schools,
said today's release would make
a special session unnecessary.

BIG ART5, CRAFTS SHOW WILL OPEN
 FRIDAY, } DAYS
Exhibits Must Be af EIks Hall Tonight So Display
 May Be Arranged

All local artists and craftsmen are asked to be on hand at the Elks' Hall tonight between and o'clock to enter their exhibits for the 9th Annual Creative Arts and Crafts Exhibit which will open at 2 pm. Friday for a 3day run.
 Mrs. William Paul, Sr., and her committee consisting of Vance Blackwell, Blythe Walker and George Rogers will be on hand to arrange the displays. Mrs. B. D. Stewart will receive and register all entries.
 Indications are that this years show will include types of art not seen before in Juneau exhibits. These include "Intollubes." In case you don't know what Intollubes are, they are art pieces created from odd and interesting roots and driftwood. They are named for Earl Intollube of the Alaska Native Service who introduced the art to Wrangell sev- eral years ago.
 Sterling Sears, Supt. of Juneau Schools, will exhibit carved and turned alabaster creations he made from alabaster he mined himself. This should be most instructive since there are known alabaster deposits near Juneau capable of supplying material for this new craft.
 Due to a typographical error in Tuesdays story concerning the Photo Department exhibit the inn portant word mo" was omitted from a sentence, reversing it's mean ing. The sentence should have read: There are no restrictions as to the size or number of pictures per- son may enter" This year the pho- tography exhibit is limited to non professionals in the hope that more amateurs will display. If this does not have the desired effect, the show next year will again be opened to professional photographers as well.
 Out-of-town exhibits already re- ceived include drawings, textile paintings and work in wood, ivory and balleen. In the exhibit from Mt. Edgecumbe School are a number of pieces that will go on sale at the conclusion of the exhibit. These include drawings by the Eskimo artist, Wilbur Walluk.
