Enforce Gas, Fire Escape Ord,
Requests Civil Defense Board.

Instructions were given to
police and fire department chiefs
last night by the City Council
to enforce the ordinance for
bidding the storage of gasoline
in tanks above ground and re-
curing metal fire escapes on
every building of two stories
housing more than n family.
This was done at the request
of the Civil Defense Committee
as advised by Col. Alexander,
chief of civil defense for the
Territory.
1t is known that a number of
residents have formed the habit
of storing gasoline for private
use in drums of so gallons or
more in back yards. This is a
definite fire hazard, either in
peace time or under war condi-
tons, and in direct violation of
a city ordinance. The City Coun-
Gil warns that this practice must
be discontinued Immediately
and Police Chief Green was
notified to make an immediate
check.
Metal Escape with Landing
The fire ordinance requires
that a metal fire escape with a
landing platform OF every floor
must be installed on every build
ing of more than one story and
housing more than n family.
The ordinance specifically
states a METAL fire escape, and
the landing facilitates access to
it by women and children at
tempting to escape from a burn
ing building.
1--WE dare not close our eyes
to the danger to occupants of
two story buildings in case of a
bombing or strafing attack"
stated Col. Alexander.
Although the Colonel met
with the Civil Defense Board a
week ago, the order vas not
made public until the city coun-
Gil could make it official at the
regular meeting last night.

Alaska Children:
Their Needs end
Row We Meet Them

This is the second of a series
of articles dealing with Alaska
children. Last week you were
introduced to the program under
the auspices of Local Commit
tees on Children and Youth, the
Territorial Commission, and the
White House Conference on
Children and Youth to be held
in Washington, DC, next De-
cember. In this article we
will begin a discussion of
Health Personality Development
Through Family Life.
The family is the core and
bulwark of our American way
of life. Sometimes the family is
broken up and the next best sub
stitute must be found, but this
will be taken up in a later
article.
Children, as an integral part
of a family, have the opportunity
of being nurtured as their Gre
ator intended. So that they may
grow into the types of individu-
ais that meet the accepted STAN
dards, many persons must be
ready, willing and able to serve
them. First of all, their parents.
To supply their children with a
good home the parents must
maintain a relaxed atmosphere
inspired by warmth and affec-
ton, in which the adults and the
children take pleasure in one
another's company. There should
be sufficient order and regular
ity to give children a sense of Sc
curity.
Parents should have an aware
ness of what is reasonable TO
expect of children at various

Federal Aid
To Schools

Part of the unfinished bust
ness left when Congress adj
journs or recesses this week
will be the report of a COM
mittee named the last week in
August to iron out the differ
ences between Senate and House
versions of legislation designed
to aid school districts through
out the country, including Alas
ka, in the construction Of addi-
tional school facilities.
The measure as passed by the
Senate provided for grants to
make survey of needs for ele-
mentary and secondary school
facilities and for planning state
wide and territorial programs
for school construction, plus
authorization of grants for emer-
gency school construction to
school districts overburdened
with enrollments resulting from
defense and other federal acti-
Yities. According to Delegate
Bartlett's news letter, the House
restricted the bill to cOnstruc-
ion of schools in those areas
pverburdened with federal ac-
ivities.
A companion bill passed by
he House some weeks ago and
loW in Senate committee pro-
Fides for the operational costs
f schools in areas where there
as been an impact from fed
raj installations, especially de-
enSe installations.

Fairbanks M Merchants Offer
Transportation To New Goods

SN W. ~
lege, young lady? To a college
where every gal has four big
handsome young men as dane
ing partners and all that sort of
thing?
You would?
Well, to help make this pos
sible for you, the Fairbanks
Merchants Association has set up
a stable travel scholarship fund
to pay the transportation of any
new Alaskan Coed from any
spot in the Territory - Ketchi-
kan, Anchorage, Attu or Point
Barrow - to the University of
Alaska.
Explained Phil Anderson,
chairman of the Merchants
scholarship committee, WED
like to see more girls attend
the University of Alaska. You
know how it is, pretty hair rib
bons, a lovely smile, a trim
ankle, Chanel No. Sand posi-
bly, a phosphorescent sweater
add an awful lot of interest,
zip and pep to life on the camp
us, and to the town.
Boys Interested. Too
And we're not the only ones
interested in feminine pulchri-
tude,' Anderson stated. Actual
ly a delegation of young SWANS
from the University called on
us and asked US to help them
bring more girls to the campus.
These men say it isn't fair to
them to dance only every fourth
dance at campus parties"
So, if you're a girl of college
age - freshman, sophomore,
junior or senior-and haven't
registered as yet at the Uni
versity of Alaska, just send a
wire to Registrar Verne Roberts,
University of Alaska, College,
Alaska, and say something like
this:
II read about the Fairbanks
! Merchants Association traVel
scholarship offer in the news
paper. 1 am sending you my
credentials by air mail, and
can be in Fairbanks before Ocs.
l. Please reserve a room for me
in the girls dormitory."
Registrar Verne Roberts of
the University of Alaska will
then arrange your transportation
to the University.
Offer Good Until Oct. l
1.-THE offer is good until o.
tober l." Anderson said. Should
some of the girls need part-time
jobs while attending the Uni
versity, l think we can be help
full there, also.
WED be very happy if so
girls accepted our offer of free
transportation to the University
of Alaska" he went on. We're
very proud Of our University at
College, and would like all AL
askans to realize the opportuni-
ties it offers"

FEDERAL BUDGET E DISCUSSED DURING
 MEETING OF pLWv

At the last meeting of the Juneau Provisional League of Women Vot- CTS the members started a study of the Federal budget.
 Miss Virginia Mclean, chairman of the budget-study program, tres sed the importance of economic se- curity in the preservation of any form of government. Foreignisms are no threat to nation that is economically sound, she said. An individual who has a job that will take care of him and his family feels secure about his future and is not interested in changing his way of life.
 Miss Mclean displayed an in teresting film strip entitled Uncle Sam's Budget" history of the trends of American economy since the 1930's when industrial produc- ton was sliding down, goods were plentiful but money scarce, and when one worker out of three was unemployed. People were restless and wondering who was to blame for the country's predicament, As the film indicated, now there are jobs and money, but prices are high and so are taxes, and again people are wondering about the countrys welfare as we continue to spend more than we are taking in.
 "A budget that does not coord- mate income and expenditures is not sound" said Miss Mclean. 'Of the total amount spent by all gov- ernments Qocal state and territor- ial, and Federal more and more of the tax money collected is spent by the Federal government. Uncle Sam is our largest employer and also our largest purchaser. How can we straighten out our budget? Where can we cut without affect ing the welfare and safety of the nation?. Where is money being spent unwisely?"
 Miss Mclean has planned a panel discussion for the next meet ing of the League. These and other questions will be brought before the group and discussed in an at- tempt to find a solution. Anyone in- terested in this question of the day is invited to attend the next meeting of the Juneau League of Women Voters and to join in the attempt to bring about thoughtful consideration of the problem.

EAST GERMAN MARK
 NOSE DIVES; NEAR PANIC IN BERLIN
(By Associated Press)

The currency of Communist controlled East Germany took a deeper nose dive today. There was near panic in Berlin as hold CTS of East Marks raced to Western exchanges to swap their money at the rate of nine East Marks for one West Mark.
 In the black market, the East Mark was worth only one-tenth of a West Mark. Exchange officials said there is no telling how far the collapse will go."
 The East Mark began it's decline immediately after Moscow announc- ed the revaluation of the Ruble on gold basis recently. Reports have spread that East Germany was to be included with Russian satellites in a Ruble bloc. Germans feared for their currency and started dumping East Marks.
