has grown in the past years, the equipment for the trucks and the trucks must keep up with the times. Modern fire-fighting equipment often may be the means of saving the life of a little child or one of your family. The Volunteers give of their time and risk their lives. The citizens of Juneau can at least take an interest in their de- partment and urge and see that modern equipment becomes a part of those units which might be pressed into service to put out a fire in their own home.
 Activities Many, Varied
 The Juneau Fire Department finds it's activities many and varied, and when there is serious trouble in the community they are always called to the scene. Many times in the past years they have been called to rescue mountain climbing parties stranded in the mountains around Juneau. First aid packs are always maintained at the fire hall for mountain rescue work. They also make the ambulance runs with the city ambulance. These men leave their daily jobs to make the runs, asking no pay only doing their part towards their civic duty.
 Volunteer Organization
 The Juneau Fire Department is strictly a volunteer organization, with the exception of two paid drivers. Its members constitute a cross section of the community. Twenty years of service in the de- pertinent is not uncommon. and standing list of applicants is evidence of the honor that is at- tached to being a member of the department.
 The spirit of the department has always been reflected in it's out standing leaders, and the record of the organization speaks for itself Modern fireproof structures have not yet replaced the original frame buildings on the dock, waterfront and around town, created during the city's pioneer construction days The department has been fortunate so far, in holding and restricting fires with a minimum of loss. Within the past few years several large fires which, if allowed to have gotten out of hand, would have wiped out large portions of Ju- neau's business area.
 | Legendary Institution
 The Juneau Fire Department is more, however, than just group of firemen. It has become legend and an institution with a long re- cord of achievement and activities devoted to community welfare and betterment. The Firemen's Clut developed and owns the Juneau Ball Park and sponsors the Gastineau Channel Baseball League. There is a Community Open House each year during which all citizens are invited to visit the fire house. (The boys hope that their new fire sta tion will be completed for this years affair.)
 Hats off to those men of the de- partment and all wish them every success. Let's get behind them and make this and every week Fire Prevention Week. One can help your community to grow into safe and prosperous one by becoming more observant to fire hazards and then doing something about those hazards. Remember fire joins with his pal carelessness, are you a member of that group? Check now before it's too late. Let's keep Ju-

China today to permit Red Cross
officials to travel through their
territory to North Korea.

the country adopted standard
health<welfare plans the overall
cost would run only around / per
cent of total business costs. They
said:
Money invested in properly
safeguarded industrial health and
welfare plans constitutes a sound
investment in the Nations fu-
ture."
Mr.. Putnam said that while
adopting or improving health
welfare plans will obviously in
crease wage costs, they promised
to reduce the Federal-State-local
relief burden now costing over 81
billion year.
The boards public and labor
members teamed up to out-vote
industry members on most points
in the new policy.
The board set certain stand
ards for automatic approval of
such health-welfare plans. En-
ployers must report details of
what they grant. from now on, in
the way of health-welfare bene-
fits. If the plan falls within the
set standards. it can be put into
effect without further ado. If the
standards are exceeded, a special
health-welfare panel of the board,
or the board itself. must approve
or disapprove the plan.
The ruling provides that any
benefit. regardless Of its extent,
is automatically approvable where
employees contribute at least 40
per cent of the gross cost.
1t does not rule out non-con-
tributary, or wholly employer
paid, health~welfare plans. 1t
provides that such plans will be
approved where they are found
ito be not unStahilizing."
This failure to limit approval
to the contributory type of plan,
in which workers pay part of in
surance costs, prompted the dis
senting industry members to pre-
dict that unions will henceforth
seek the employer paid type and
that there will be pressure Ito re-
duce or entirely eliminate en-
ploye contributions under exist
ing plans. bringing about an in
direct wage increase" They said
this period of emergency" is no
time for such pressure.
