BLACK FACES ABOUT TOWN NOT SERIOUS

The black faced teen-agers seen about town all day Friday need not cause any lasting worry to SeWardites. These dirty faces will vanish after Saturday night. It is only part of the vaudeville show being put on by the high school, Black faces are part of the Music on the Mississippi group.

 By all reports the vaudeville show is good. The kids have worked hard. Let's gol

Delegate Bar+lefi's S+ofehScG BiI.

Listed here are the major pro visions of Delegate Bartlett ; Alaska Statehood bill compared with the terms of the Senate measure:
 l. Delegate Rartlett's bill grants 43,35O,0OO acres of land to the new state, while the Sen ate bill provides for grants of 22,95O,O00 acres. His version would allow the state as soon as admitted to start selecting 40 million acres of vacant, unap- propriated and unreserved pub lie lands, while the Senate bill would grant 20 million acres for this purpose to be selected five years after admission. Both bills provide for survey by the Inte- rior Department of the exterior boundaries of the areas request ed by the state, but the Senate version limits the sale by the state of such lands in tracts no larger than $40 acres, while Del egate Bartlett's bill carries no such restriction. Delegate Bart let's bill also eliminates the Senate provision that only up to 12 and a half per cent royalty on minerals produced on state lands may be reserved to the state.
 Delegate Bartlett's bill dou- bles the amount of land granted to the state from national forests and the public domain for estab- lishment and expansion of com munity centers and recreational areas. His bill grants 100000 acres for these purposes, 100000 from the national forests and 100000 from the public domain, while the Senate bill spells out 100000 acres for each category. Both bills contain grants of g. 550,000 acres for internal i'm provements, such as mental, penal, reformatory, the Univer- sity of Alaska and other inStitu- 'tions.

Council Heors People On Telephone Rate Increase

Approximately 50 toWnspeo- pie attended the public hearing on the raise in telephone rates Monday, March 2, in the council room.
 Each person present was given a chance to have his say and make statement. Questions from the floor were not heard until after each person was taken in rotation. Many questions were heard, but few explicit answers given by the company repre- sentative, Charles H. Sim.
 The burden of complaints were on lack of service to outly- ing areas and curtailment of long distance service. General con census of opinion seemed to be against granting the rate hike until better equipment and ade- quate service is produced.
 Results of the hearing will not be known until announced by the City Council next Monday, March 9. Pay raise for operators is depedent upon the raise in rates for certain kinds of serv- ice. No explanation was given for curtailment of long distance service except that a contract arrangement with ACS, kamc with ACS had been discontinued. No hope was given for resump- tion of long distance service in the near future.

more than SIS million, President
Milton L. Elsberg reported today.
Affiliated Chain Drug Stores,

a new type of semi-self service
to this area, he told them.
The firm has nine stores in
Arlington County, Va, and two
in Prince Georges County, Md.
It also has a warehouse and
Office building on -Four Mile Run

The original partnership was
founded by Mr.. ElSberg and
Robert Gerber, now secretary
