MILLIONS ARE DOING TIL More than 2,005,000 boys and girls 10-21 years of age belong to 87,000 All Clubs located in prac- tically every rural county of the United States.
 They pledge Head, Heart, Hands and Health in unity for greater service to home, club, community and country during National All Club Week, March 7-15, inclusive. This is a time for getting set" in their All pro- jects and activities for 1853. All over the nation they are prepar- ing to deliver a full measure of production, conservation and "know how" as part of their daily lives. And they are learning to live together. The national theme of All Club work in 1853 is Working together for world un- derstanding."
 They are doing millions of tliings-these 4-H'ers, such as putting on demonstrations of scientific methods and getting their crops, livestock or the fam fly food supply ready for the busy summer season.
 Whether they live in town or country, 4-H'ers do things. Each carries a small business project geared to some need or problem of self, home or community. Each belongs to a club which they con- duct themselves with the counsel of parents or volunteer leaders.
 Extension workers help smooth their way with training, advise and friendly pat on the back. It's work and play, sing and sometimes swing, as together these future leaders of tomorrow learn:
 Basic habits and attitudes of good citizens,
 Skills for useful, productive work,
 The application of science of everyday living,
 The methods of conducting a business of their own,
 The art of being a happy, love- able and useful personality,
 The proper care of their bodies,
 The grace and art of home making and family living,
 The source of information about their problems and needs.

Eklutna Hydroelectric Project

Eklutna .HYdroelectric Project
 Prediction that preliminary ap- proval would be given to his bill to authorize increased appropria- tions to complete the Eklutna ,hydroelectric project to serve the Matanuska Valley and Anchorage areas was made this week by Delegate Bartlett following sub committee hearings on the mea- sure.
 Secretary of the Interior Me Kay in reporting favorably on the bill recommended that no fixed ceiling be placed on the authorization bill in order to per init the Senate and House Ap- propriations Committees to deter mine the amount actually re- quired. However, it is believed a limitation through amendment will be placed in the measure by the territories subcommittee con .sidering the legislation.
 The original authorization of $20,365, 400 enacted in 1950 was based on 1948 prices to include a 30-000-kilowatt power plant, penstock, tunnel and related facil- ities, rehabilitation of the existing Eklutna Dam, transmission lines and other facilities. The latest estimate of 5,300,000 was, ac- cording to Secretary McKay's Ge- port, "a direct and unavoidable consequence of large flows of water encountered by the con- struction contractor in the outlet portion of the Eklutna tunnel. The volume of water to be dis posed of far exceeds the flows anticipated at the time the con- tract was awarded, and it has been necessary to change the con tract to provide for a different method of handling the water" !" It is now believed that by drop ping the intake of the tunnel and by greater operating draw down of the reservoir the annual firm energy for sale will be increased by fl million kilowatt-hours.
 Land Claims
 Legislation providing machin- cry for settlement of land claims in Alaska received initial approv- al last week.
 Under the terms of the bill, the Court of Claims would consider suits by any Eskimo, Indian or Aleut clan, village, community group or any individual native or any other person who claims lands in the Territory under color of possessory rights. If the Court of Claims decided favorably in behalf of any claimant. provision

 Alaska Land Bills
 Four of Delegate Bartlett's bills approved this week by the House Interior and Insular Af- fairs Committee will be consider ed in the House of March 16.
 All the measures provide for purchase of various tracts of lands in Alaska.
 Volcanic Ash
 Volcanic ash for building ma :erials could be removed from parts of Katmai National Monu- inent under a bill passed by the House this week.
 The bill would confer upon the Secretary of the Interior the authority to supervise the remov- al of volcanic ash for period of Is years along the shores of Shelikof Strait. House approval was given in the last Congress to similar legislation sponsored by Delegate Bartlett, but the bill died with that Congress failing Senate action.
 School Operation and
 Maintenance Funds In passing the second supple mental appropriation bill for the l953 fiscal year this week, the Senate, although disagreeing with House allowances for various government agencies, agreed with the House in approving a $2O F million appropriation for assist ance to schools overburdened by federal activity.
 The funds, which would be al- lotted for supplementing opera tion and maintenance budgets for the 1952-1953 school year, would allow, according to information given Delegate Bartlett, $413,335.- 62 to be earmarked for Alaska schools. Those benefitting under the appropriation would be terri torial schools under the jurisdic- tion of the Board of Education and schools at Palmer, Kodiak, Anchorage, Nenana, Sitka, and Fairbanks.

past weekend due to the lack of
rules end regulations to govern
use OF the car. He also pointed
out the need for siren and paint
ing Of letters on the car before
permitting it 10 60 into operation.
Too, there was some confusion as
to whether or not the Board MEM

Rarcr discuss the 1854 outlook for
farm products at the regular Mon

Raper said that tobacco would
probably be down a little ncxt
year and that an announcement
would be made prior to December
/ regarding the acreage decrease
for 1854.
He was not encouraged a"out
the sweet potato crop for 1854 but
said the strawberry outlook was
good. He also indicated that cot
ton would be good money crop
in 1854.
From an all around viewpoint,
he expressed belief that 1854
would show slight drop in price
from 1858 but that in general il
would be a good year for farmers
and businessmen in this area.
Raper recently attended the ma
tional convention of county agents
in Philadelphia and told how Tab
or City vans were served at a
dinner of 1900 agents and their
wives. The dinner was under the
sponsorship of the Farm Journal
