Heintzleman Recognizes Need
For Roads in Second Division

Northwestern Alaska has received many setbacks
in recent years which has retarded its growth and
development in comparison to the growth of other
parts of the territory.
Insecurity and uncertainty of its status, even in
the defense program has made it difficult for investors
and settlers to plan for permanancy of any kind.
One of the outstanding problems is its remoteness
caused by lack of roads connecting to the rest of the
North American continent.
Governor B. Frank Heintzleman expressed his
opinion recently the projected FarbanksNome road
and that he will enlghten the proper COM
mitees of Congress to this great need whenever the
opportunity is given him.
Heintzlernan stated
II want you to know that will give all possible
support to such project. I know of nothing more
important to the development of new country than
adequate roads, and I have told you, and said in
talks made last summer in Nome believe there is
section Of Alaska in greater need of roads for
economic development than the Seward Peninsula.
We know it is heavily mineralized area, also that
it is impossible properly to explore prospect and bring
these minerals into production without good Transport
tation, which in this case means roads"

For many years before the establishment

but who never really expected to see it dur

PLAIN TAL.K'
OF BEING BURIED
BY ALFRED sEcAL

O&SA4VS ~SSbAA0AS
This is about a very solemn
matter. nothing less than the &C.
casion when were going to be
buried. and who can escape il? So
we may as well talk about it
frankly. as man TO man. you
might say. as people who know
the facts Of life.
It all comes up because of
something you probably read in
your hometown paper recently:
The Episcopalians of Oxford, O.
some SO miles from my own home
town-have resolved to be buried
modestly and less extensively
hereafter. They are against all
the frills Of funerals, including
expensive caskets and the ava
lancheS of flowers that are so
costly to ones friends.
When / read about this I spoke
up rather proudly in my column
in the daily press. recalling as !
did. the traditional Jewish way Of
burial though. of course. the ira
ditional way is not so generally
practiced among US any longer.
It was so properly humble, !
remember the funeral of the ira
ditionalist who was my father; he
died a year ago, In accordance
with his Orthodox Np-bringing,
he desired only pine basket with
no frills on it at all. Over the
bare planks of the coffin, a black
covering was spread, like a shawl.
That way he went to his grave.
He was literally faithful to
what God told Adam Genesis
3:ls): I'm the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread. Till thou re-
turn into the ground: for out of
il vast thou taken: for dust thou
art and unto dust shalt thou re-
turn"
Yes, my father wished to be re-
turned expeditiously to the dust,
in accordance with this ordina-
ton. No metallic casket, no con-
crete vault, just he and earth
coming together again, as soon as
possible, by way of the pine cof-
fin.
He desired no fancy apparel
upon his return TO the ordained
dust. no neat. well-fitting suit. He
wore a shroud which. as I heard.
was made and sold by a society
Of Jewish ladies who m a k e
shrouds in order TO gather money
for their charitable purposes.
Yet, as / learned from reading
up on it, humble dying was not
exactly the fashion in one of the
periods of ancient times. The Tai
mud reports it:
AS belief in ultimate resurrec-
tion gained ground among Jews.
many of them felt they should be
well dressed when the moment
came for them to arise from their
graves. How would il look for one
to come up out of the earth in a
shabby suit? What would people
say?

clopedia in an essay by Abraham
Shinedling, says: Many persons,

tanning highlights of the life and
career of Israel's first President,
DR.. Chain Weizmann, has been
presented to the Weizmann Ar
chives at Rehovot by Mr.. Morde-
cal Drapkin of Kiryat Hahn near
Haifa.
Mr.. Drapkin, who is a veteran
employee of the Palestine Electric
Corporation, spent over 20 years
on the collection, with his wife's
help. He began it in 1888 in antic-
ipation of DR.. Weizmann's 60th
birthday.
One complete file is devoted to
the laying of the cornerstone of
the Weizmann Institute of Science
in June 1916, and to the crucial
Zionist Congress at Basic in De-
cember of the same year. Another
file comprises full press reports
on DR.. Weizmann's visits to Israel
since 1888.
There is also an obituary Sec
ton compiled after DR.. Weiz-
mann's passing in November,
1852.
The collection represents val
liable source material for a study

The trend of developments on
the wider canvas of Germany and
Europe is bound to have roper
cussions on the future of the Jew
ish community. But even leaving
that out of consideration, the age
structure of the Jews in Germany
is so unprecedentedly top-heavy,
and the identification of the ma
jority with Judaism so peripheral,
that long-range prospects remain
dim outside the few relatively
large centers such as Berlin,
Munich and Frankfurt.

NEW YORK Up - There's one
thing about Paul Richards - he
can't be accused of playing favor
ties. If the deep-thinking boss Ct
the Baltimore Orioles surrendered
his pitching staff to the Yankees,
as some claim, he's eyened mat
ters up by turning his catching
corps, Clint Courtney, over to his
old boss Frank Lane of the Chicago
White Sox.
It is possible that Lane, by being
patient and awaiting his turn at
Richards, came up with an athlete
who viii have as great an influ-
ence on the 1855 American League
race as will Bob Turley and Don
Larsen, the two pitchers whom the
Yankees extracted in the first ma
jor operation on the Oriole roster.
With this deal, it might be added,
Richards disposed of his last i'm
portant trading material and should
be left along for while to think.
Courtney, whose nickname is
"Scrap Iron" and who without
much argument is the battlingest
player in the game today, could
prove key man in the White Sox
pennant aspirations. His driving
will to win, plus his burning hatred
of the Yankees, might well keep the
Sox from failing off in the stretch,
as they have the past three sea-
sons.
We, for one, are happy to see the
bellicose backstop get his chance
with contending club. We predict
too that the hard rock from Louisi-
ana will make his presence felt in
a hurry, as he was not able to do
