Of Season Tourists Are Seeing Alaska

When James Porter of Santa Rosa, Calf, is called Trade Jim" it has meant just that.
 For 35 years he has been in the automobile business in California where he has taken everything from lots of 2,0oO chickens to windmills in on trades in order to make auto sales.
 MT. and Mrs. Porter are on an extended tour of Alaska and western Canada. After spending the week end in Juneau they left for Sitka yesterday.
 We intend to see the country and will take six years if necessary, Pcrer said we are now retired from business and don't have to be anywhere at any time except where we want to be. Through British Columbia and so far in Alaska, we have met the most wonderful peo- ple.o

on the trees, has been placed on the critical materials list by the National Production Authority.
 The NPA has classified hemlock bark, along with several other kinds Of tree bark, as vegetable tanning material" and has issued a lengthy set of regulations restricting their use.
 The materials. including henloek bark, are now restricted to the fol- lowing uses:
 The tanning of hides and skins or other processing of leather.
 The manufacture of pharmaceut- icals.
 The manufacture of water treat ment products.
 Use in the drilling of gas or oil wells or the making of any pro- duct which is suitable for use in the drilling of gas or oil wells. ..
 1t is believed that at present there is no production of henlock bark in Alaska for any of these purposes. Furthermore, it is probably not .ec-' chemically feasible for Alaska saw mills, which slice up the bark with the rest oI the log, to recover the halk as Q by-product.
 A present shortage of vegetable tanning materials, however, points to a possible by-product of the i'm pending pulp mill or mills in south east Alaska. Much of the raw mat erial the pulp mills use will be hcmlock, and such mills commonly de-bark the logs before grinding them up for pulp.

 If it is possible for human nature to sink to great depths he declar- cd, it is alst possible for it to rise to great heights. We must believe in the potential Goodness in man. We will never have true democracy and freedom until we maintain the dignity of man

 UMT Debaie In Congress

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 - P - Lawmakers today predicted hot de. bate in Congress next year over : government commissions call foi Universal Military Training (UMT) as long range protection in tho mortal struggle with Soviet Com muniSm."
 The new National Security Train ing Commissions blueprint fcl UNIT envisions eventual trainin of 800 900 American youths annually at q cost which could run to more than $400o,0O0,O00 the first year However, indications were that the first year cost would be a great deal less than that
 The commissions recommenda- tion to Congress, made public last night, were submitted under terms of 1851 law which extended the draft and approved Che broad terms of UNIT. That law, enacted last June, requires further Cam gressional action to put UNIT into effect.
 The commission urged that the implementing legislation it recom- nnended be approved without de- lay when Congress reconvenes next January. It added, however, that uncertain world conditions - notably the situation in Korea - make it impossible to forecast when the proposed training program could be started.
 But start at the earliest prac- ticable time is imperative, the commission declared, because "the clear prospect is that the present generation must live in danger for many years"
 An enemy today can strike di- rectly at the United States by sea CT air. so the American people must be prepared, like their fore- bears who pushed the frontier west ward, to meet a savage and deadly attack at any moment"
 The commission said "the return to frontier conditions demands a frontier response" - to have every physically and mentally able youth IS years old trained for six months in the "art of survival and self defense"
 The group added that Congress- approval of the principle Of UNIT reflects the reality that all free society is engaged in mortal struggle with Soviet Communism"

AIaska's Second Division, which be- came second because of the order of it's creation but is third in area, and which once was first but is now fourth in population, has had some rough knocks during the year 1851.
 On January Is of this year, Roy V. Peel, Director of the Bureau of the Census, announced that hence forth, fcl' the next ten years at least, the Second Division will be entitled to only three, instead of four, members in the Territorial House of Representatives,
 A little later in the year the 1s2,- c0o-square-nlile northwestern por- tion of tfa Territory lost it's Public Land Oft.ee when the Nome and Fairbanks Land Districts were com bined.
 Then, in August, President Tru- man fired the Second Divisions District Attorney, Frank c. Bing- ham, on the grounds that Bingham had deserted his post.
 In September, District Judge Jo- seph W. Kehoe of the Second Divi- sion was promoted to the lower-pay job of Secretary of Alaska and nov cd to Juneau to replace Lew Will Hams, in whom the President claim ed to have detected incompetence.
 Later in the same, month. the se- ccnd Division lost it's only attorney when c. c. Tanner was drowned while on hunting trip.
 For Several Years there has been talk of handing the Second Divi- sion an even harder jolt by com- bining it with the Third and Fourth Divisions. It now appears, however that nothing along that line is likely to happen in the immediate future.
 A bill relating to the judiciary, of the United States and it's Territor- ies, now before Congress, provides five District judges for Alaska. Two of them would be assigned to the Third Division and one to each of the other three divisions.
 In actuality, the dwindling judi cial business of the Second Division could probably be handled without undue hardship by the courts of the Third and Fourth Divisions. The 9ig howl from the people of the Second, if 1t were to be abolished, would concern their loss of repre- sentation in the Legislature.
 The 1l,820 civilians in the Second Division now have four Senators to represent them. Each of the other divisions also has four Senators, out as Of the 1850 census there were 27,543 civilians in the First Divi- sion, 45,647 in the Third and 23,- 226 in the Fourth.
 For this reason of legislative re- presentation, it seems unlikely that my changes in the judicial divisions Yill be made while Alaska remains 2 Territory. It will be question however, that will almost certainly generate some heated arguments when Alaska gets around to holding its Constitutional Convention in preparation for statehood.
 Three s0urdcashe, stalwart pio- nesrs who have tramped the trails of Alaska since early gold rush days and who are now domiciled at the Alaska Pioneers Home, chanced to meet in front of one of Sitkas saloons on a recent bust cry day. All three are little hard of hearing nowadays, and the fol- lowing conversation enSued:
 Said the first: Its certainly a windy day.
 No" said the second. "It's not "Wednesday, it's Thursday"
 Said the third: I'm thirsty, too. Lets 90 inside"

Alaska's FCssil Tree Staging
 Slew Celrebatk

The Dawn heaNOOu that was q native of Alaska some thirty CT forty millions years ago is making a slow comeback, according to in formation released by the Alaska Forest Research Center in Juneau.
 Only Is of the 66 redwoods planted in Southeast Alaska in June, 1949 are still living. How ever, at least half of them would still be alive if all had been treated exactly as Dawn Redwoods ike to be treated. said R. F. Taylor, for ester in charge of the research cen ter.
 We are not yet sure of the best methods of handling them he said.
 In prehistoric days the Dawn Red- wood, together with birches, beeches, oaks and chestnuts, grew in tenn peratc forests in Alaska, Green land, Iceland, Spitzbergen, northern Siberia and the Arctic islands north Of North America. As the earth's climate changed, the tree migrated south and eventually disappeared.
 It was found in fossils, but was thought to be an ancestor to the Coast Redwood now growing in California. Recently a few trees, identical in all respects to the fos- sis, were discovered growing in an If Claitao
 Different Species
 They were found to be somewhat different than the Coast Redwood in that the Down Redwoods cast their leaves in winter. This eX- plained why it had been growing with deciduous trees such as oak and birch in a climate not suited to the Coast Redwood. It has named Metasequoia Glyptostro- boides.
 Seed from ti.e Dawn Redwood found in China were sent to the University of California. Seedlings sent tc Alaska were germinated from ti.is seed.
 Seedlings Planted
 The seedlings planted in 1949 were set out at Ketchikan, Peters burg, Craig, Cordova, Anchorage and Palmer In June, 1850, another 92 seedlings were sent to various coastal towns to the westward where mail service is often slow. Twenty suffered various cas- ualties in transit or were too tired on arrival to recover.
 Of the remaining GA, just half are still alive. Of 24 sent to six places in the Aleutians, only those on Kodiak survive Best results were obtained at Juneau and Mt. Edgecumbe.
 Most of these seedlings were planted in good soil but given no special protection. Others were mulched in winter or protected by boxes or baskets. Some died with protection. some grew well with none. No conclusions can be drawn so far as to the best method of starting the trees.
 In most cases growth was but three or four inches a year, but some grew a foot or more. All 10 that were planted at Mt. Edgecumbe in June, 1850 are alive and on the average grew from six inches to almost 24 inches. One tree grew 34> inches over the past two sum- mers.
 The tests are being conducted by the Alaska Forest Research Center in cooperation with Prof R. ". Chaney of the Museum of Falcon tology, at the University of Cali

our driver suggested that we stop

When we drove into the settle

invited us in. A Tunisian family
with eight children lived in the
three-room house, one of many,
many in these new settlements.
Before we knew it, the entire
family came out to greet us. They
work for the Jewish National

him and I enjoyed it immensely.
