Hong kcngis Subjett of BpW Speaker Monday

Hong Kong, a cosmopolitan c1ty that looks not unlike San Fran cisco, was described by Mrs. G. L. Renstrom, now in Juneau from the Orient, at the Business and ProfeS- sional Women's Club meeting at the Baranof Monday.
 The program was arranged by Mrs. I. J. Montgomery, interna- tional affairs chairman.
 Mrs. Renstrom, whose husband is here in Pan American Airways traffic department, is recently from Siam where her husband was PAWA traffic manager She was born in Hong Kong, knows it as a fascinating town. She knows, too, the things about the town in the orient that women in this country like to hear.
 Why do American and English women enjoy living in Hong Kong? Because it is an interesting cos mopoliian town, hnd eslt,cially because rents are cheap. Servants are inexpensive-a cook, an amah and a second amah only cost $70 a month for the three. Clothing, hand-tailored and copied by fine workmen, is cheap"
 Most Chinese splak English, dress like Americans-th though the women wear oriental costumes, she said, and displayed Chinese eve ming dress of silk which she said could be made by hand for about S2 plus the cost of the fabric.

Fire at Jail

The Douglas fire alarm was turned in this morning at 5 o'clock by Fred Alberts, member of the volunteer fire department who is stationed at the hall to receive calls. Alberts was sleeping in his quarters in the hall when he smelled smoke, and on investigation found smoke pouring from the jail cells on the lower floor and an inmate hQllering to be let out. Alberts immediately turned in the alarm and sent for Mickey Pusich, special policeman, to unlock the cell Of the inmate who had been arrested and jailed at 2::30 for drunk and disorderly conduct.
 With smoke so thick gas masks had to be used, it was found that the covering of a chair had been burned off, a davenport on fire and at least three mattresses in different areas on fire. It was not known definitely if the fire was started accidently or not. The cells of the jail are all concrete and steel so other than the furniture which burned, no damage was done to the building other than smoke. The prisoiier was transferred to the Ju- neau jail for the evening.

The Road Commissioners of the Territory of Alaska who are the Governor, the Treasurer and the Highway Engineer. have recently been very critical of the way the Bureau of Public Roads, an agency of the Department of Commerce, has been handling it's business in Alaska.
 The faults of the Bureau, as seen by the Road Commissioners, were detailed in recent statement by Governor Gruening.
 The first charge against the Bu- reau of Public Roads is that it has not been getting large enough appropriations for road-building i'll southeastern Alaska.
 The Governor makes an unfavor- able comparison between the ap- propriations received by the Alaska Road Commission, for roads in the Interior, and appropriations receiy- ed by the Bureau of Public Roads.
 The Alaska Road Commission, ac- cording to the Governor, has been securing an annual average of S25,- 100000 for new construction. The Bureau of Public Roads, he contin- ues. last year secured a paltry ST. 100000 after the appropriation had been turned down by the previous Congress.
 No One In Alaska is more aware than the Governor why the ARC has been able to get those large ap- propriations and why the BPR has not. He does not mention these req sons. in his statement, although he does admit that even the s7C0OOoC appropriation for the BPR wa; hard to get.
 The fact is, of course, that tho Alaska Road Commission carrie on it's work in a defense area. Mucl of it's road construction. at present and for some time in the past, ha been for defense purposes. And l has been much easier for a number of years to secure an appropriation carrying defense tag than almos any other kind of appropriation.
 The Bureau of Public Roads, oi the other hand, has not had Uni advantage. Most of its work is il southeast Alaska, which is not de Edense area, where there are at pre- sent no major military establish ments, and where the military, asid from the Haines Highway, has no displayed any great interest l; roads.
 For This Reason, the BPR hai had to justify it's road programs on grounds of use and development of natural resources. The most at, tractive bait the BPR and the For est Service, which works closely witt

the BPR in Alaska, has been able to dangle before Congress is pulp mill development Indeed, without that kind of lure, the BPR would probably not have secured the ST. O00,000 appropriations.
 Having secured the appropriation on the grounds that road improve ment would help to attract pulp mills. the BPR has been using the money for that purpose-to improve existing roads between cities and nearby pulp mill sites.
 Here, again, it has incurred the ire of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners
 What should be done with the money, the Board contends, is to build additional road milage instead of making costly improvements to existing mileage.
 The Road Board would have a much more defensible position ii the appropriation had been made for the specific purpose of extending the existing road mileage, or if fl could be clearly shown that the building of new roads would be oi assistance in attracting pulp mills
 The fact is that the pulp mill site that are being most actively pro- noted are close to existing towns Too, the companies most interest ed in building pulp mills in Alaska do not appear to be interested in starting new company" towns and hence prefer to build near the pre- sent towns.
 In view cf this, it is fortunate that suitable mill sites are available with in a few miles of each of number of southeast Alaska towns.
 Tie Road Improvements presently being made or contemplated for the near future are for the purpose of handling traffic between the towns and the proposed mills.
 Governor Gruening's charge that the Bureau of Public Roads is bring ing these road up to the standards required for highways between San Francisco and Los Angeles or New York and Washington borders on the ridiculous.
 The improvements are being built to much higher standards than pre- viously existed in Alaska, to ac- commodate traffic expected in both the near and distant future, but they will still be far short of state side six-lane or eight-lane high ways.
 The improvements now being built into the roads are expensive, it is true. but the work is being car ried out as a result of bitter experi- ence of the past.
 Southeast Alaska Reads that were built thirty and forty years ago were little better than wagon roads. Some of them have been rebuilt two and three times since then, as heavier and faster traffic demanded, and each rebuilding has been ex- pepsive.
 In its present work, the BPR hopes to make a long jump ahead of traf- 1 fic demands in the pulp mill areas.
 Once these improvements are-eens- pleted, the pulp mills built and the populations of the mill towns in- crease, there will be demand for road extensions to new homesite l and recreation areas and perhaps to new industrial areas. When that time arrives, the Bureau will be able to go before Congress with justi- fication for such expenditures. The Bureau of Public Roads, in other words, appears to have a
