WORK STARTS ON BUFFALO COAL MINE,
FOLLOWING RENOVATION, DEVEL LOPMENT MAY PRODUCE 45O TONS DAILY BY ZINE

ReLoVdtlOn WOrK on Buffalo Mine started last week following receipt of permission from REC to start disbursements on the S425- ITS loan granted early last June.
 Francis Graham of Anchorage. who has been named general manager and engineer for mine operations, announced this week that five men are working outside on renovation of the camp and four men are replacing timbers inside. These men are all that will be employed at the present time. he said. Nearly all men presently employed are from the Palmer area, and this policy will be con- tlnued insofar as possible when development work begins. Inside superintendent at the mine is Archie Browning. until recently mining foreman for the Evan Jones Coal Go Also from Evan Jones is Robert Francher who will be chief electrician and mas ter mechanic at the Buffalo mine.
 As soon as the mine can be un- Watered and the new timbring is done, a start will be made on development work, which is ex- pected to result in a small amount of coal production within two months. A production goal of 450 tons per day is expected by early next summer, when it is expected that 80-100 men will be employ ed.
 A pump has been ordered to pump out the mine, long filled with water. A new washing plant has also been ordered, with arriv- al expected within the next. six weeks. The washing plant capacity will be about 40 tons per hour. Early plans call for driving of a new slope to reduce grade ana increase haulage capacity. The new slope is expected to intersect eight seams known to exist.
 Meanwhile the present equip ment will be used until the new washing plant and other facilities can be installed and made ready for operation.
 Before coming to Alaska in 1949, the new managing engineer was chief engineer of the Victor American Fuel Coz of Denver, Colorado. Since coming to Alaska MT. Graham has been connected with the engineering department of the Alaska Railroad and with the Bureau of Mines. For the past year he has been engaged in pri- vate engineering practice around Anchorage. Since Mrs. Graham will be teaching in the Anchorage school system this year, he will maintain his home in Anchorage. The Grahams have two sons. One son, James, is working at the mine and lives in Palmer. The younger son, Gail, is a junior high school student in Anchorage.
 The lease on the Buffalo Mine corporation holdings of 960 acres is good for approximately 50 years. Twenty thousand shares of common stock with par value at one dollar make up the corpora tion's capitalization. A $425,775 loan from the Defense Produc- ton Administration is administer ed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Stockholders of the company are Frank Colobuffalo, Buell., Nesbett, Aquilla Mathew, Joe Sentich, J. C. Morris, Norman

First Community Tree At Christmus Was Held In City of Cleveland

THE COMMUNITY Christmas A tree idea was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1912. The community raised funds to defray the cost of the tree and celebrations through the sale of preferred stock in Cleveland, the city of good will (unlimited), incorporated under the laws of the commonwealth of good cheer"
 " Holders of preferred stock were entitled to dividends payable daily in the form of happy voices of robust children. the contented faces of friendly fellow citizens and the advancement of the city of good will"
 Sale of stock was pushed every where, the most unique place being the Cleveland stock exchange where the stock was listed at the head of other securities. The sale brought $12,000, which purchased Christmas cheer for 13,000 citizens, as we'll as the first community Christmas for the city.

WELCOME ATHLETES

TO-DAY ST. welcomes the visiting high school
athletes and friends from St. Thomas. The group began ar
irving by Caribair planes at Alexander Hamilton Field at 9:l5;
the last plane came in at l2:l5. On hand to receive and vel
come them were a committee of faculty members and high
school students, especially appointed for that purpose. Head
ing this group was Claude G. Markoe, principal Of the Chris
tiansted High SCHOOL, those assisting him include Mrs. Elena
Christian, Luz James and Mrs. Anna Nealy. The groundwork
was laid and every step Of the way planned between now and
the time that the group returns to ST. Thomas.
II Is GRATIFYING to see that after much plugging the
necessary funds were raised to furnish the committee with
enough working capital. It is surprising how much can be
used in these matters. Transportation in all instances must
be provided, publicity given to the events, extra work paid for
ia preparing certain centers where the visitors will remain,
this include board and room.
TONIGHT THE student and faculty get together at the
Jungle Casino; tomorrow at 2 pm. the first event takes place.

Senior Boys On Parade Ground at night there dill be special

THESE ATHLETIC events, as has already been pointed
out, serve to bring closer ties between the two islands, and we
can think Il Of no better nor more effective methods. When
people work and play together they get to know each other in
ways which would not be possible by other means. This meet

By MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: My hus-
band and ! have agreed to present
our problem to you and let your
advise govern our decision.
We were married % years ago
in civil ceremony. I wanted a
minister to perform t. : marriage,
but my husband objected so I gave
in (my first mistake with him)
He was 25; I. 81. It became i'm
mediately evident that he was to
rule the house with a hand of iron.
He wanted me to continue work.
ing, which I did almost to the day
our first child was born, though I
was very i'll all through the preg-
nancy.
When the baby was 10 months
old, he insisted I hire some one to
care for her so that I could go
back to work. /, had to refuse,
since I felt my first responsibility
was for the baby - then the
trouble really began. My husband
became so stingy he would give
me nothing. Nor would he do
anything to please me. He claimed
since he worked for the money,
1t belonged to him and he had no
obligation to me at all. The few
things he did do for me. or our
two children. were for the pur-
pose Of impressing outsiders with
his generosity.
He made the older girl leave
school when she was Is to go to
work. Constant nagging brought
on a nervous breakdown for the
younger girl, and her father
wouldn't even pay for medical
care. By that time, of course, ]
was working. Then came the war
and the two girls married, each at
II. thinking that was the best
way to get away from home
Neither marriage was happy
Finally I left my husband, and
went into dressmaking. Now he
has come back, and wants to be-
gin all over, promising to change.
However, he won't admit he was
ever wrong in anything.
I love to do for others, and per-
haps that has been why I've been
SO quick to give in to everything.
L. r.
ANSWER: Your very long let
ter. which I have had to abridge
considerably, presents the most
consummate picture of a selfish,
domineering. tyrannical and
greedy man that have read in
a long time-and, believe me, I
get many letters along the same
line.
You begin by saying that you
and your husband will agree to
any decision I make. How naive
can you get? He hasn't agreed to
a single thing in twenty eight
years and you expect him to
change now! Are you going to live
out your life fondly expecting a
miraculous metamorphosis? They
do occasionally happen, by the
grace OF God, but your husband
is far beyond redemption as he can

THREAD TROUBLE;
DEODORANT:
COMMENT.
mrs. w. M, Washington


For an answer to the RICH
reader who is having trouble
with thread knots while sewing.
Here Is the rule about the way
to thread your needle: For
black and white thread. the end
hanging from the spool should
be threaded through the needle.
Do just the opposite for colored
thread. However. I think the
thread is sure to knot now and
then, no matter how it is
threaded. so it is a wonderful
help to know how to get the
knots out of your thread and
this method works nearly every
time. Put the point of your
needle through the loop. of
thread in the knot and then pull
on the thread next to your ma
terial. This is a trick all sewers
should know.
Now for the woman who has
trouble with her deodorant
cream drying out, I noticed
some one sent in an answer to
that one, but how complicated
it was. She advised putting it
in double boiler. etc. Well, my
cream never dries out because 7
don't let it. Every little while 7
put a few drops of water in it
and it stays nice and soft. Be-
fore thought of doing this I
had one jar of cream get so dry
I thought would have to throw
it out, but I put a little water
in it and let it stand a few days,
and it was nice and creamy
again.
I keep library paste soft by
keeping a clean white cloth
wrung out with cold water on
top of paste. Have kept it soft

Of your vegetable hydrator to
