PLAN EXCAVATION THIS YEAR FOR
 NEW MEA BUILDING

Excavation for the new l30x40 foot MEA building to be built on the block-square lot across from the Fair Grounds between Fair view Avenue and Airport Road will be done this year, Mrs. Jus tine Parks, MEA board president, announced this week.
 Plans for the building are now in the hands of the Alaska Archi- tectural and, Engineering Go. of Fairbanks.
 The first floor office space will include an outer office, the man. ager's office, board of directors room, an inner office, an office for the head bookkeeper, and two rest rooms. A parts room, com plete with warehouse and storage facilities and a loading dock, are included in the first floor plans for the garage, which will be equipped for servicing of MEA vehicles.
 In the basement will be rooms and lockers for linemen and con- struction men. There will also be a large public meeting room which will be available for local gatherings.
 Material shortages held up the construction of the building this year. It is hoped that invitations to bid can be sent out about Jan uary l, 1852, and that actual con- struction will begin early in the spring.

This and That

A distinguished critic recently stated
that homesickness is not part of youth
Evidently the guy has forgotten his
own childhood.
Offhand many will believe that this
peculiar malady is definitely confined
to the younger years of the species.
If there is anything boy or girl is
likely to suffer from, especially the first
time, it is to be terribly homesick.
It is one of the first evidences of the
power of habit on all Of us.
Some persons suffer great deal more
than others in this respect. it is true.
Can they be said to have a greater
love for home. for mother, for the daily
life, the familiar food. scenes, places,
duties and amusementS?
It is scarcely that.
What comes to the fore is the power
of habit on the human being.
It is the flow of life, the same as the
flow of words. Many go through long
lives without realizing that there is a
great deal of similarity between life
and words.
That is why, one may feel, doing away
with word study, as such, is going to
be great handicap to the children of
today and the future.

its place. For there Is no substitute for

To be homesick is, in the main, to be

Most homes stand for these things.

toned how long 1t will last. Surel'

although the definitions will differ. per-
son from person, group from group.

What many will wonder at is the way
life is going to stack up without the
proper sort of reading.
Will television take its place? Will
something else?
Or can the children of today be given
the good excitement boys used to get
by going to the library?
The human animal needs excitement.
Cynical persons even 60 so far as to
believe that modern unrest is simply
the piling up, stone by stone. Of smaller
excitements. Too much Of not good

and it was this the boys Of yesteryear
knew in the lending library.
No matter how many books father

Getting them out, reading them, and
taking them back, were part Of SYM
pathetic excitement in which ones COM

Reading, writing and arithmetic
How can life be the same, without
real study and understanding of these?
Fast reading was taught, not in school,
but. by those extracurricular activities.
They were all part of the precious thing
called home, and it was no wonder many
young people, on their. first experiences
away from the familiar and the habitual,
worked ..p a real malady of the mind
and spirit which at times assumed the
aspects of a physical illness.
Fast reading is the best reading, just
as much living is the best living. Full
bookcases. and full lives-those are
the ideals of many, but they will not
keep one from getting homesick. Quite
to the contrary. they will insure it. and

far away from home will keep one from

mary and basic in society which is to
continue to be based on the individual

The wholesale honoring of all who
qualify physically for inclusion in the
sainted sisterhood is cheapening and
often ridiculous, too like the automatic
distribution of decorations in wartime, a
practice which by indiscriminate award
leaves official recognition of earned
honor meaningless. 1t also stands up
that being mother-the wrong way-is

If 1t Is Not q War, What Is 1t?

VA officials explained that whereas World
War II veterans may receive treatment for non
service connected disabilities at VA hospitals,
veterans from the Korean war had been admitted
only if they were suffering from Seryice-connected
injuries or illnesses. This was because the law
prohibited disqualification of "peacetime" vet

engaged in war in the legal sense it was

The President is right in contending that
there should be no discrimination against vet

cially designated as war or not. Any benefits
which other war veterans receive should be
extended to those who have been fighting as real
war in Korea as any in which this country

An Exception to the Rule

That there is urgent need throughout the
country for abatement of pollution in rivers and
. lakes is shown graphically in the chart-illus-
trated report just issued by the Public Health
Service of the Federal Security Agency. But con-
ditions in the Washington Metropolitan Area in
dicate that the report should have made at least
one exception to its general rule that there
need be no delay in taking action to provide for
the needs revealed by the studies thus far" into
sewage treatment problems. The reports az
sumption that whatever is done now will simply
fit into the total program as completed work.
Is not necessarily valid here
It is because the rule may not be applicable
here that Arlington, Fairfax Falls Church and
Alexandria have Joined in sponsoring an engi-
neering survey of sanitation problems in nearby
Virginia. Underlying the decision to spend to-
: days tax money on such an overall study is the
expectation that tomorrow's taxpayers may be
saved substantial sums by reasonable pause
now to survey the situation. Arlington County,
having already approved a bond issue for an
additional sewage treatment plant, will go ahead
with this project, hoping that it will not be out
moded by future decisions for joint action. Fair
fax too, plans to proceed with modest treatment
facilities, with funds available. Alexandria, how
ever, wants to defer the construction of ary
independent plant until the engineers have COM
pleted their inquiry and reported their recon-
mendations. 1t is asking the State Water Con-
troll Board to allow period of grace for this
purpose. The board had ordered Alexandria to
take immediate steps to reduce the amount of
raw sewage it dumps into the Potomac River
and its tributaries, but has now indicated it will
go along with the survey project
! 1t is to be hoped that the State board will
not make the same assumption as that written
into the PHS report, namely, that funds spent
Immediately on separate new treatment plants
in nearby Virginia "will simply fit into the total
program as completed work" 1t is not as simple
as that. For it is possible that the studies will
show that money expended in advance of COM
prehensve sanitation survey will be, literally,
money thrown down the sewer. The survey may
even show that no more treatment plants on the
Virginia side of the river are necessary-that
nearby Virginia would save money in the long
run by piping its raw sewage under the river
to the District treatment plant at Blue Plains.
The District has indicated it's willingness to take
on this job for moderate charge.
- AS far as communities in nearby Virginia
are concerned, therefore, care should be used in
reaching decisions about the admittedly pressing
and diSgraceful sanitation conditions existing
across the river. They should make sure that
whatever is done now actually will "fit into the
total program as completed work." instead of
