Firms Seek Graphite Deposits ln A!osku

Faced with production curtail- ments owing 10 critical national graphite shorta gcs, several of the largest graphite concerns in the US. are looking to Alaska for additional supplies of this mineral, it is reported by The Alaska Development Board.
 Graphite is required by indus try for g score of defense pur- poses, including the atomic en- ergy program and in the manu- facturc of cruciDleS for foundar- ies, brushes for motors and gen orators, batteries and lubricants.
 The United States depends upon imports for 90 per cent of it's annual requirements, the ma jority of graphite coming from Ceylon, Madagascar and Mexico Prior to World War II, substan- tial quantities were brought in from Korea.
 The largest-knoWn graphite deposits in Alaska are found in the Immuruk Basin region on Seward Peninsula, where small quantities for commercial use were produced in years past. Oc- currences also have been report ed in Southeast Alaska. Pros pectors knowing of graphite de- posits elsewhere in the Territory may find it we'll worth their while to stake claims. Prices range upward to several hun dred dollars per ton, depending upon grade and quality.
 Prospectors or claim holders desiring to be placed in touch with potential purchasers should write the Alaska Development Board, Box 50, Juneau, furnish ing details about their property, Samples also should be provided, it was stated by the Board.

A controlled materials plan will be placed in operation July for direct defense and defense supporting production and con struction by the NPA, accord ing to Larry Moore, Alaska manager of the Associated Gen eral Contractors.
 Three basic metals, steel, cop per and aluminium, will be allo- cated to defense and defense Supporting programs with spe cific allocations being made to contractors having such work under existing contract. Alloca- tions will be made for quarterly periods but will not permit carry-overs into next quarters.
 Direct materials allocations will be made to certain, but not hll, construction programs. The NPA will start issuing exact orders and forms to be used on May l, to give industries tWg months to prepare for opera tions under Controlled Materials Plan regulations.
 Regulations to be issued in May are, CMP-1, general outline pf the plan, CMP-2, inventories, CMP3, priorities, CMP-4, ware house supplies, CMP-5, main Eenance, repair and operating supplies, CMP-6, construction, and CMP-7, repair shops.

BCG. THE TUBERCULOSIS VACCINE
By Public Health Nurse

The people of Seward are about to have the chance of being tuberculin tested and vac cinated if indicated. There are more children who have tuber- culosis each year than have poliomyelitis.
 We have a vaccine that will help many of the children avoid TB. Modern medical progress has helped us to make a test and a vaccination that is usable in helping your child escape tuberculosis. This testing and vaccination is available to you free of charge.
 If the first test shows your child 10 be already vaccinated, or resistant, then the Vaccina- ton with BCG will neither be needed nor necessary. Ii is some thing like smallpox. If the vac cination once takes, or the re- sistance is good, then the first test will show this You would give your child this advantage for polio if it were possible, and some day we hope to have it for polio.
 The tuberculin testing is car ried out by experienced doctors and nurses. The testing leaves no scar, so if you have been tested before, be sure to have a record with you. Otherwise, you will need to be tested again with the tuberculin.
 If the tuberculin shows no skin reaction, then you will benefit from BCG vaccination. Everything we can do to help our children, and ourselves, avoid disease, makes us better fathers and mothers, besides having healthier and happier children.

kya9nn over To Be Distributed Evenly By Armed Forces

Department of Defense, April 1O--a plan for the equitable distribution of manpower among the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Airforce in a way that will assure that each gets it's fair share of new men, on the basis of mental and physical qualifi- cations, was announced today by the Secretary of Defense, George Marshall. The plan will apply to men entering through enlistment or Selective Service. In announcing the new program, Sec. Marshall stated that it was "A further step in the progress of the unification of the Armed Forces.
 Minimum physical standards for acceptance will be identical for all services.
 Out of every 100 men who take the Armed Forces qualifi- cation test and qualify for mili- tray service, eight normally fall in group l, the highest mental group; 32 in group II, 39 in group III, and 21 in group ". Each service will take in men in accordance with these pro- portions, whether through vol untary enlistment or induction. Should the service fail, in any tWo-month period, to obtain by voluntary enlistment the speci- fled quotas, shortages would be filled in a subsequent month from among Selective Service regiStrants.
 Officer candidates, aviation cadets and veterans will not be covered in the qualitative dis tribution program. When excep- tional circumstances justify such may request the Secretary of Defense specific exceptions to proportionate qualitative distri- b,ItioO

Practical English.

@. 7 have almost despaired of
teaching my class not to use "like''
in such constructions as "do like !
do; I feel like I had been neg
tlected." Tt seems that the gram
matical rules serve only to make
the children more confuseder, +"
as one child puts it. VIII you give
us another of your sane explana-
tions, please?
A. Let's forget the ogre that
pops out of the grammar book
and makes horrid, syntactical
faces at our hapless youngsters.
Teach them this one simple rule:
If "as." or "as it." or "as
though" makes sense, like" is In
correct.
Examples:
IT hope to succeed QikeD you
have" "As" in place Of 'like"
makes sense. Therefore: I hope
to succeed as you have.
Il feel Qike?) I had been neg
lected." Either "as If" or "as
though" makes sense. Therefore:
I feel as If (or: as thought had
been neglected.
"I believe QikeO you do" Cor
rect: I believe as you do.
If "as," or "as it," or "as
though" does not make sense,
like" is correct.
Examples:
1--WE have flowers Gas? as II?

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY Frunk Colby

as though?) these at home" It
doesn't make sense. Therefore:
We have flowers like these at
home.
II feel Gas? as if? as though?)
playing golf. Correct: I feel like
playing golf.
"No one can cook Gas? as II? as
though?) mother" Correct: No
|cne can cook like mother.
IT shall furnish my house Gas?
as if?Asas though?) yours. Cor
rect: shall furnish my house
like yours.
"He looks Gas? as if2 as
though?) his father" Correct:
He looks like his father.
Now let it be understood that
the above right and wrong ex-
amples are strictly in accordance
with the grammar books. There
is a growing tendency in Ameri-
can English, however. to accept
like" or "as. as If. as though"
as good colloquial usage.
I, for one, will be glad to see
"like", win complete acceptance.
for have always regarded 1t as
a natural and inevitable idiom.
And I have felt that the taboo
against 1t is more or less artificial
and pedantic.
Yes, believe that trying to
prevent people from using "like"
for "as, as if, as though" is now
another of the lost causes for
which this column is no longer
willing to fight.

There is no royal road to geom

There is no royal road to geom-
etry."
Those words are supposed to have
been spoken by an ancient Greek
named Euclid. This man was living
in Alexandria, Egypt, at the time,
and we are told that the Egyptian
King, Ptolemy I, was his pupil. Not
wanting to do much work on
geometry, the King asked If there
was a short way to learn 1t instead
of going through a long, dull book.
The reply, as the story goes, was
that even a king could not be given
a royal road" to learn the facts
about this subject.
Many a high school pupil has
wished, since then, that short way
existed. Girls, in particular, have
suffered" with this subject, and 1t
has been suggested that another
subject for mind training, as a
course in logic, should be offered in
high school to those who preferred it,
Many efforts to produce systems
Of geometry" have been made, but

Euclid's system has been fastened
to the educational program.
1t would be q mistake, however,
to suppose that this Greek (who
lived $3.50 years ago. invented"
geometry. Other men who lived
before him had brought the science
into the world. Among these was
the famous Thales, and he was fol-
lowed by the equally famous Py-
thagoras pronounced pih-THAG-
o-rus).
1t was Euclid, however, who took
up the science and put 1t into def
mite order. He likewise invented
new proofs" for the theorums, or
propositions.
Geometry is Of great help in
many lines Of work, including those
of the surveyor, the craftsman, the
civil and structural engineer and
the architect. It also is immensely
helpful in. the science Of astronomy
One thing which geometry does
is to enable us to find an unknown
quantity. Let us suppose that we
know the length Of two sides Of Q
