the city's concerted drive

for 'any vendor Of alcoholic bever-
ages to permit anyone In his en-
pl0yment or control to solicit or
induce anyone else in his place of

The Bill is being introduced fol-

tourists that they have been ap-

B-girls, as they are known in
the trade, are employed by bar
owners to stimulate business by
making advances to unsuspecting
bar patrons. They receive a per.
centage of the money they are able
to induce the customer to spend.
Often they do not drink alcoholic
beverages but tea or colored water.
The measure is expected to be

EIGHTH GRADE

There have been seven students who have had perfect attendance during the past six weeks. They are Paul GlaVinOvich, Patty Her man, Arlene Muller, Lawrence Oscarson, Helen Sahlin, Willy Willoya and Stan Senungetuk.
 Rivalry has been pretty keen between the boys in the room representing the Kangaroos and the Whizkids. The Whizkids have won four straight games over their rivals and will be gunning for the fifth game to end the series tonight in the preliminary game.
 Oral book reports have been part of the afternoon work and the. students are finding them very entertaining. At first they were afraid to get up in front of the class and talk; now you have to cut them short in order to keep them from dragging the report out.
 As the six-week period draws to close, the class has just fin ished taking number of lengthy tests and, along with the teacher, has found it a very trying week.

Education Board
 Asks 5O% Increase Nm School Budget
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, LR - The Territorial Board of Education presented the Senate Finance Committee We'd nesday a revised budget calling for 50 percent increase over the present biennium in appropria- tions for support of schools.
 The budget totals $11,858, ,194, compared with $7,892,592 for the 1951-1953 biennium. Money for new buildings, which are financed separately out of special tobacco tax fund, is not included in the budget.
 The nearly SIP million figure is two-thirds of the territorial gen. eral appropriations bill total of the last session.
 Some key legislators have indi- cated they don't expect to be able to squeeze any great amount from the school budget. That would mean general appropriations bill certain to run far above $20 mil lion compared with slightly under SIS million last session.
 The school budget has risen over $2,75O,0OO since the original budget was drawn for the Board of Budget late in the fall, mainly on the basis of increased enroll ment in cities.
 The increase also includes $780, 900 recommended for teachers on the basis of the boards formula of $500 yearly across-the-board pay boost and $50 extra for each year of teaching in Alaska. LegiS- lators, however, are being flooded with wires and letters from school groups and individuals demand ing a flat $500 raise.
 The budget item for support of city schools is up about 40 per cent from the present biennium, while schools outside of incorpora- ted cities is up about five percent.

Dam Aids During
Period OF Drought

The Savage River dam in this
county continues to prove its ef-
fectiveness by still having a large
reserve despite continual use of
its supply since June %.
Since June % there has been a
continual drag on the reservoir to
keep the flow of the North Branch
Of the Potomac River at Luke con-
slant at 60,000,O00 gallons per day.
During this period there has been
little or no rainfall but the level
of the dam still has held up through
the water stored during the winter
and spring, according to figures re-
leased by Julian c. Patrick. super
vising engineer. The water level is
now so feet below the spillway,
just a little lower than it was a
year ago.
Under continual use, with condi-
tions of no rainfall, the dam still
has a three-month supply. Water
in the Potomac is supplemented by
the supply in the paper mills
Stony River dam.
Both of these dams impound a
three-month supply, Patrick stated.
When full the Savage River Dam
holds six billion gallons while the
Stony River dam contains two bill
lion gallons.
