St. Laurent Returned To Office In Canada With Record Landslide Vote

TORONTO, R-Canadians still swear by Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent and will have none-or very little-of his detractors. They made that clear in the national elections with big tide of votes rolling the liberal party to an un- precedented fifth term.
 The vote Monday returned the liberals to power with a House of Commons majority just short of the record margin they ran up in the landslide St. Laurent engi- neered in 1949.
 There were 265 Commons seats at stake. The Liberals needed 133 to maintain a majority able to back a government. They won I'll.
 St. Laurent hailed the result as showing Canada has the kind of government it wants. He called the returns "a heartening expres- sion of confidence"

ALASKA PUBLIC WORKS

A final determination has not been made as to the allocation of funds made available in the In terior Department appropriation bill for the Alaska Public Works program, according to information given Delegate Bartlett last week by officials of the Interior Dept.
 President Truman had asked for S15 million for the program, the revised Eisenhower budget called for $1O million and the Congress allowed SIP million. Twelve pro- jects were outlined under the $10 million Eisenhower budget as con trasted with 21 in the $15 million Truman budget. The 12 project list included three Alaska Hous- ing Authority applications, one for utilities as Turnagain Homes near Anchorage, one providing utilities for Lloyd Homes adja- cent to Ketchikan, and the third water, sewer and street improve ments for Grandview Homes, Fairbanks, and Parkway Homes and Anchor Park, near Anchor age; a high school for the Kodiak Independent School District; a school for Cordova; health cen ters for the territory; a school for the Anchorage Independent School District; waterfront arterial addi- ton for Ketchikan; water and sewer for Fairbanks; a school ad- dition at Sitka; water system at Valdez; and a school addition for the Fairbanks Indepenednt School District.
 The addition of $2 million to the Eisenhower budget by the Congress will be applied to some of the nine projects which in ad- dition to the above had been re- quested under the Truman budget of $15 million, but the final de- cision has not been made. These nine projects are: A school for Ruby; school for Fit. Yukon; a school for the Fairbanks Inde- pendent School District; street improvements for Juneau; utili- ties and a Food Service Building for the University of Alaska; a high school at Seward; water, streets and sewer at Petersburg; and a school addition at Skagway.

 ASSESSMENT WORK
 Attempts to change the mining assessment year at the present time failed when the first session of the 83rd Congress adjourned.
 The legislation passed the Sen ate but the House took no action on the amended House committee bill.
 Both versions of the bill pro- vided for an assessment year from one October 1 to the next rather than the present span from July l to the next July l. The law pro- vides that within this period ev- cry year a claimant must perform or make improvements in the amount of S1OO on each unpatent- ed mining claim in the continental United States and Alaska.

Recalls Crash; Gives

value of checking his equipment.
He learned it the hard way.
Last year the 13-year-old was
well out in front Of the pack in
his heat at the Washington
Soap Box Derby when cable
pulley let go.
He lost control Of his racer
and crashed into the curb, de-
molishing the forward section Of
his car. Even so, he scraped
across the finish line the winner
in good time. If it hadn't been
for the crash, Tommy thinks,
he'd have gone on to take the
race. =
But the wreck Cancelled months
of work, preparing for the Derby.
If he had examined his car more
carefully he might have Jared
better.
Thoroughly Tested.
This year it's a different story.
Every part of his smashed racer
has been taken apart, inspected,
repaired and re-asSembled. Tom
thinks he can go even faster
than last year. His pulleys and
cable have undergone rigorous
tests for strength and proved
good.
Tom and five other boys are
able to race this year because
of the generosity of Lodge No.
