Blackfeet Urged To
Prepare For Winter
By Area Supervisor

''Fickinger Explains
That Funds Aren't
Sufficient To Keep
Open Minor Roads
During Heavy Snow
To the Indians of the respect
i've reservations of the Billings
area:
Another winter will soon be
here!
am addressing this letter to
you to acquaint you with certain
facts and to call your attention to
certain conditions.
Periodically this summer we
have reminded you of the we'll
known fact that winter with its
SHOWS does come to this country
with its regularity and that sum-
mer is the time to prepare your
selves for the winter period.
| hope this advice has been
needed by all of you and that by
now you have your supply of
winter fuel readily available,
your staple food supplies laid
by, and at least emergency re-
pairs made to your homes in
those cases where they need to
be frightened up for winter con-
ditions. If you have not done
these things as yet there is still
time before real winter sets in.
AS you know, in a good many in
stances wood is available to you
merely for the effort of cutting it
, and hauling 1t to your homes.
| realize that some of your
homes are sub-standard, but you
are not alone in this respect.
The homes of many non-Indians
are also sub-standard. 1t would
be nice if we could all have good
modern homes, but we must face
the reality that we do not and
therefore we should do the best
we can with what we have.
! Much can be done to make our
homes more comfortable and
weather-resistant by the expend-
iture of a little personal labor
and in many instances 8, without
the expenditure of any funds.
even as your fathers used to do
before you. Efforts of this kind,
however, require a willingness
on your part to do something
about it.
During this past summer work
of various types has been plenti-
full and the demand for laborers
has been greater than the sup
| ply. With this plentiful demand
, for laborers we made arrange
ments with the state employ
ment agencies, in cooperation
with tribal councils, to utilize In
dams in filling these requests.
Representatives of the State En-
ployment Service and tribal coun-
ellis, in cooperation with our own
staff, worked long and tirelessly
in recruiting Indians for these
jobs, but were not able to fill
all the requirements of the labor
markets for workers. Even as
of now, most of the sugar beets
are still to be harvested and the
needs of the beet growers are for
hundreds of workers. If any of
you are unemployed, on t

 Dollars 0kehed

WASHINGTON, June 8-R RE A S6O0, 100000 program of defense construction was agreed upon to- day by Senate House conference committee.
 Chairman Vinson D-Ga.) of the House Armed Services committee said the bulky measure should cover all Army, Navy and Air Force projects needed during the next two years unless there is some emergency"
 Eliminated from the bill was ap- proximately $1O5,000.O00 worth of family military housing in the Con- tinental United States which had been voted by the Senate.
 The House had stricken this out on the theory that the so-called Wherry Act should provide ampl1 military housing in this country. This act provides. government ,n- surance for rental projects built y private investors.
 The compromise measure author lzes a long list of defense proj- ects in this country and through out the world where Army, Navy and Air units now are establishes. Congress must provide actual funds later.

HERE E DOPE ON ASSESSMENTS; JUST
 WHOM TO SEND TO

T This year, there are six differen

 ent School District, City of Doug.
 las, Douglas Independent Schoo District and the Territory of AL

 If you own property within the
 city limits of Juneau, assessment returns should be filed with City Assessor Ray Beach in the Juneau City Hall
 If you own property within the
 boundaries of the Aux Bay Public Utilities District, assessment re- turns should be filed with Mrs. William Johnson, Aux Bay Public Utilities District Assessor, at the REA office in Aux Bay. Tax assessment blanks that were mailed to residents of the Aux Bay Public Utilities District by the Juneau Independent School District Assessor should be returned to the Aux Bay Assessor instead of the School District Assessor If you own property in the Ju- neau Independent School District, outside of both the City of Juneau and the Aux Bay Public Utilities District, assessment returns sholId be sent to Robert N.

u. S. Commissioners
 Status, Other Court Problems Exam ined

Complicated problems faced b. l US. Commissioners in Alaska vii | receive top attention from the frs high administrative official ct th' federal court system to visit thu
 Territory in the II years the agency has been in existence.
 Elmore Whitehurst, assistant di-
 rector of the administrative offices of the US. Courts, left Juneau to- day enroute to Anchorage and Fairbanks to confer with district judges in these divisions prior to calling a meeting of all four judges
 in Anchorage on June l9.
 Whitehurst describes his job as
 that of 'housekeeper" for the fed
 eral court system, supervising all
 budget matters, supplies, approrrl-
 ations, and advising in court ap- pointments.
 Because commissioners are in volved in so many tasks. and are paid only by the fees they cellect for performing certain tasks, Whitehurst promised complete survey of the 60 precincts over which they preside, in an effort to seek ways to improve their status. Their procedures, staff, equipment and systems of doing certain work will be examined, he said
 He will discuss the present fee schedule with judges, to see if it might stand a change. and will pre- sent before all district judges 2 manual written by District Judge Joseph w. Kehoe of Nome TOT ap- proval, and possible publication for issuance to all commissioners.
 The manual would be sort of dope sheet on how to do certain work required. and would assure like efforts by commissioners from Ketchikan to Barrow
 For instance, US. Commissioner Gordon Gray in Juneau-while not doing everything most commission CTS take care of in Alaska - has seven jobs: justice of the peace, coroner. juvenile judge, ex-officio district recorder, ex-officio notary public, and ex-officio probate judge, besides being commissioner.
 In smaller communities, the com- missioner is also deputy clerk of the district court, collector of cus- toms, and has other federal tasks.
 Whitehurst, because courts here do things differently from the states, has his briefcase full of docu- ments and papers involving unique problems faced by both district judges and commissioners.
 He was amazed to see the tremen- dous files on hand in both offices, and said he would like to see dupli- cation methods changed to micro film, if it were feasible. This re- duces space needed for other things and reduces time taken up by ste- nographers in necessary copying.
 Whitehurst's office was set up in 1899 to take over duties from the attorney-general, and he holds of- flee by appointment of the Supreme Court. The late Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes swore him in after naming him to the position.

Eden Is , Granted
 Divorce
Former British Foreign Sec. retdry Says Wife De-
 serted Him in US.

LONDON, June 86R-Formei Foreign Secretary Anthony Eder won a divorce decree today by testifying that his attractive bru- nette wife deserted him in 1947 to live in America.
 Eden, whose political ambitions as deputy Conservative leader may be jeopardized by divorce in strait laced Britain, was granted a de- cree NISI in a five-minute hearing before Justice Francis Hodson.
 The dapper. greying Eden-still handsome at 53-told the court in firm voice that his wife insisted on visiting the United States in 1946, that he accompanied her there and that she then refused to return to her native Britain.
 Mrs. Eden, who has spent most oi her time since 1946 in the US. and Bermuda, was not represented at the hearing. She did not contest the action.
 At her New York apartment Mrs. Eden said there really is nothing to say. I've spent a terrible morning already"
 A decree NISI becomes absolute in six weeks under British divorce law, unless there is an objection raised in court.
 Eden, who wore a dark blue suit, was the only witness at the hear ing.
 Letters from Mrs. Eden were pro- duced in court, but not read.
 Gossip over the Edens domestic split has been common in London for many months. But friends of the deputy Conservative leader speculated that he would avoid di- vorce because of the probable effect on his political career. AS the recog- nized deputy to Winston Churchill, Eden stands in line for eventual leadership of the Conservative party-and the post of Prime Min ister when and if the Tories regain power. r,

Uncle Rays Corner
By Romon Coffmon

Would you like to make a mag
net of your own? There is a
simple way to do that with a plain
rod Of iron. The magnet which
you make will be rather weak, but
It will make a compass needle act
strangely.
First lay compass on table,
and find out which direction is
north. Then take a simple rod of
iron and mark one end of it.
I have Llade several tests of this
kind. and performed one more the
other day. I use rod of iron two
feet long.
First I tested the rod with a
compass needle. 1t attracted the
north-seekirg end of the needle,
also the south-seeking end. Any
piece of iron without magnetism
will. do that.
Holding the rod in my left hand,
I made sure that the marked end
of 1t pointed northward by using
INV compass as a guide. I held the
rod so it slanted toward the floor
Then I gave the other end of the

pushed that end away. and gave
it a very strong push" I turned
the rod around. and found that
the end without a mark would at
tract the needle strongly.
You can do the same things if
you wish to make tests with an
iron rod and a compass. Weak as
the magnet viii be. you should be
able to pick up iron filings with it.
Iron filings are used to show the
lines of force" in a magnet. Let
small sheet of paper rest over a
horseshoe magnet, and spread
iron filings evenly over the paper.
Then tap the paper several times.
and watch many of the filings
take new positions, so that they
are thick enough in some places
to make lines. These show the
Lines of force of the magnet.
The earth is a gigantic magnet,
with lines of force running from
the North Magnetic Pole to the
South Magnetic Pole. When you
point an iron rod northward. and
strike the other end. you do some
thing to the molecules and atoms
inside 1t, and the rod turns into Q
