LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT
 ALA5kA, MONTGOMERY
 LEARNS ON TRIP SOUTH

The amazing lack of correct in- formation on Alaska appalled, Dr. I. J. Montgomery, director of the Alaska Merit System, during a trip to the West Coast. He returned Tuesday.
 Following attendance at the three-day conference of the Civil Service Assembly in Pasadena, Cal if. Montgomery spoke to Il bus mess colleges in the interests of recruiting of office workers for AL aska. He also showed the Alaska Development Board picture, Alas ka, U. S. A."
 A random sampling of questions asked: Can you buy good food up there? How do you handle money when you have no banks in Alaska ? What about the mosquitoes?
 Montgomery was pleased with the contacts he made in regard to sources of future office help and glad to have an opportunity to help offset some erroneous ideas held about the Territory.

HERR. CHILDREN AT
 SCHOOLS FOR BLIND,
 DEAF RETURN HOME

Plans are completed for the re- turn of 19 Alaska children who have been attending the Oregon State School for the Blind at Sa- lem and the Washington State School for the Deaf at Vancouver.
 The children attending the schools come from such widely separated places as Pt. Barrow, Nome, Kivilina, St. George Island, Bethel and Kwethluk. The Alaska Native Service pays their tuition and boarding home care during the summer months when school is not in session.
 In view of the fact that some of the children have not been home since attending the school for some time. special effort is being made to bring them home in order that they may keep in touch with their families.
 The Oregon State School for the Blind reports that the school is willing to accept a few children from Alaska in order to provide the education needed by them. Ac- cording to reports from Dr. Walter Dry, the school works through the University of Oregon department of ophthalmology in Portland.
 He also reports that several of the children who have been attend ing the school have made success full adjustments and are doing well in their work. The children have participated in such group activi- ties as swimming. scouting and All club work. At least two of the child ren have shown outstanding lead ership ability and it is hoped that they will be able to continue the school work.
 Tt has been real pleasure to work with these youngsters and, if we have helped them to see better and to make a better adjustment in their homes, we are happy said Dr. Dry.

SMALL STORES NOT
 EXEMPT FROM OPS

A report that stores doing less than $100,000 a year business would be exempt from ceiling price reg ulations was labeled inaccurate to- day by Fred G. Hanford, Territor- ial Director of the Office of Price Sterilization.
 Hanford said the rumor appar- ently started through a miscon- strued release from Washington D. c. early last week. He said the ter rltorial office checked carefully with Washington OPS. officials and found no basis for any such exemption.
 Hanford further reminded that all retail businesses should have their hase period records completed in accordance with Regulation g.

Work Is Resumed
AT Savage River

Receding of water in Savage river
for the first time since December has
enabled Army Engineers to knock out
a bulkhead in the Savage River dam
tunnel and work is expected to be
completed shortly
The completion of the tunnel, and
control chamber, had been held up
by high water, engineers noted, and
now that construction can be con-
tinued, it is expected the entire Saw
age River dam project will be fin
ished before September.
Bulkhead Removed
Workers built the bulkhcad in the
l0-foot tunnel through the base Of
the dam in December to hold back
the water while the tunnel was being
constructed Upon completion Of the
tunnel, engineers intended to build
the 20-foot square control chamber
above the tunnel, in the base of the
dam.
However. because the water which
Nd9 DdNhtd uP ny q NOOuIH yum
head in the tunnel did not recede
enough to enable the workers to
knock out the barrier and construc-
tion of the chamber has been held
up, engineers explained.
Upon completion of the regulating
chamber the main control tower atop
the huge earthen structure will be
undertaken, engineers related. 1t is
expected this will be finished in Sep
TENDER and is the final phase of the
dams construction.
River Flow Regulated
Upon completion Of the dam, the
flow of Savage River into the Poto-
mac river will be regulated with inn
pounded water in the Savage River
basin permitted to flow from the dam
only in extreme emergency, they said.
The basin which covers an area of
approximately $50 acres can be COM
pletely inundated to height of LAG
feet behind the dam before the water
spills over the barrier.
The dam measures 800 feet in
width and $50 feet high with a thick
ness of 900 feet at the base and 20
feet at the top. A caretaker will be
in charge Of controls at all times.
