New Cloth Shades
Match Any Color
Scheme in Home
By D. IA. DerWin

To countless Americans. cloth
window shades are still the favor
lite window covering. Science and
chemistry have enabled such
shades to continue to be in good
taste and in step with the color
trends of the times.
The ability to create privacy
and control light are the two big
requirements for a window cover
ing. Cloth window shades do
these two jobs we'll. and are easy
to handle.
One manufacturer Of window
shades works on the sound prin-
ciple that there's only one way to
make a quality window shade and
that is with fine cotton cambria
with a 68x72 thread count-and
that nothing can take the place Of
that strong, flexible backbone of
finely woven cotton fabric.
With such a strong fabric in his
cloth window shades, he treats one
style with oil paint to match any
color scheme employed in home
decorations. Another styling finds
the cloth treated with a tough
plastic coating in a variety of
colors.
Cloth window shades real
cloth-can withstand the punish
ment of constant daily use
through the years without curl
ing or stretching, tearing, shrink
ing, cracking or sagging out of
shape. Because OF their weight
and body, they hang straight and
smooth and will be as easy to
clean as curtains.
Equally at home in either the
most modern atmosphere or in a
rich period setting, cloth shades

They are specially treated to

windows and will shield draperies

from losing their luster.
Heating loss, according to the
manufacturer, will be reduced
with resulting important savings
in the fuel bill. simply by lower
ing cloth window shades every
night through the cold months,
because they form an insulating
blanket of air at each window to
hold heat in and keep cold out.
In summer they help keep each
room cooler.
One big advantage is that OIL

waters, would form a formid- able chain of defense and a bull Wark of strength in anti-subma- rine control, ii kept under some sort of intelligent control by Navy or Coast Guard.
 Residents of more than two years who have hunted, camped or prospected in given area, as well as private flyers in the same area, soon become so familiar with the terrain that they could put up an active de fense or supply important in- formation to the military. One out of every three homes in Seward IS potential arsenal. Homestead women are in posi- ton to contribute to the defense of the Territory by continually experimenting with preservation and use of all edible native plants, in case of break in the food supply line.
 Rifle teams, skierS, hunters, fishermen, housewives, teachers, laborerS-all can make their in- dlVldual and group contribution to civil defense. Instead, we have been waiting for word from Washington, funds from Congress. For many years, Al aska was independent of finan- cial aid from Congress. Then the period of development began It is ironical that with development" and civilization, rise in living standards, colony rapidly loses it's self as- surance and becomes dependent upon the benificence of the mother country, and the more that is done for it, the less it can do for itself.
 There is so much that each little area can do for itself in the way of defense All it needs is a competent leader and the will to conform to a pattern. Why wait for an indifferent Congress to study the problem Y of civil defense in Alaska? CO ordination of the vast capabili- ties at hand can form Alaska s own defense, thus relieving the military of some responsibility, and Congress of all worry.

The C4adGe 0ocGs4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

The matter of a strong civil defense program is beginning to assume grave proportions in the minds of many Alaskans this week. Particularly so after the airing of what appears to be a difference of opinion be- tween the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Congress over the defense or abandonment of certain parts of the Territory in event of in- VaSiOn.
 It has been perfectly plain to residents of Seward and other parts 'of the Peninsula that air defense from Elmendorf could, under some conditions, come too late to prevent actual invasion of this port from the sea. Ade- Quate ground defense, however, would neceSsitate large mill tary installation.
 Residents of the Seward area are grimly conscious that any defense of the city and vicinity will have to depend largely upon a strong civilian contin- gent prepared and trained to augment the military. This was suggested by the Senate Armed Services Committee report to be found elsewhere in today s issue) It states, Tt is believed that such an isolated territory should receive particular atten- tion from the standpoint of haV- ing persons available in the area who could augment the regular military forces in defending that area That the Navy or Coast Guard should establish an organized reserve unit so as to insure personnel who are ac- quainted with Alaskan waters being immediately available for anti-SubmarIne control pending the establishment of more for maj methods by the Navy or Coast Guard
 That either the Navy or Coast Guard would ever relinquish any degree of authority or re- sponsibility to civilian organi- zation of fishermen and resident seamen, is probably outside the realm of p 0 ss bility. Even though those same seamen with out doubt have a greater inti- mate knowledge of home waters and shorelines than any military group will ever have. Never theless, a well organized reserve of local fishermen who have spent their lives in Alaskan

MORE ABOUT BARTLETT REPORT

Continued from Page D the subcommittee hearing it was pointed out that the hazard of unloading explosives at Val deZ and Homer and trucking them long distances over the highways are probably much greater than using existing fac ilities at Seward.
 Although the recommenda- tions given in connection with the South Amboy explosion are not binding on the Coast Guard, they cannot properly be disre- garded. This accounts for the effort being made to obtain com mittee assent before granting a waiver
 COST OF LIVING SURVEY
 Another item of interest in the Subcommittee 20 point re- port, is that on cost-of- living in Alaska. "A cost-of-living index should be established immed- lately and maintained . Labor representatives appearing be- fore the subcommittee pointed out that an aid to the solution to the labor problems in Alaska would be the eXiStance of an index of cost-of-living in Alaska against which wage contracts could be adjusted
 ECONOMY
 One trouble seems to be, . the report goes on, the fact that much of the history of Alaska has been one of eXploi tation by persons who have no desire to become permanent citizens of the Territory However. the subcommittee can not ignore the fact that the a. mount of money that the gov ernment has had to pour into Alaska in all of it's endeaVors within that territory has been grossly increased by the appar- ent selfishness and sharp practi- ccs of relatively small groups of people. Present in this picture
Seward seaport record., 1951-03-02

of high costs seems to be the fact that Alaska has been used as a source of ready income for the northwestern part of the United States, and in particular, the port of Seattle. "
 SLAP AT FREIGHT RATES
 Transportation costs of ma terials from Seattle to Alaska are so great as to require care ful analysis, and the subcom- mittee believes that the rates, even though approved by the former United States Maritime Commission should not stand unchallenged"
 DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
 The subcommittee believes that it is necessary for the fed eral government to approach the problem of the economy of Alaska on goVernment-Wlde basis and through every means possible encourage private capi- tai to come into the Territory. This might take the form of a more favorable tax structure for new industry, a il d S and grants in connection with the development of power and util- ity. projects, government flnan- cing similar to the REC ap- proach, and continued govern ment interest in reducing the overall cost of living and labor in the Territory, and many other broad approaches to the prob lem.
 The subcommittee does not believe it is within it's purVieW to attempt to recommend specl- lie courses of action. Ii does be- lieVe, however, that there has been entirely too little govern ment-Wide attention D ai q to these problems and in conform ity with it's earlier comments urges that special attention be paid to this problem in order to capitilize on the great value that Alaska has in relation to the future of the U S, particu larly al time when the state
