GOVERNOR GOES TO BAT FOR AIRLINES IN
 SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA

JUNEAU = Coy. B. Frank Heintzleman told the Civil Aero nautics Board in a brief issued yesterday that he knows of no re- zion where air transportation is a more vital factor than in South eastern Alaska.
 Two aviation companies, offer ing service 10 the small outlying communities of Southeastern Alas ka are requesting renewal of their contracts on a iOng term basis and the Governor contributed pertin- ent information on possible further economic development of the area.
 In stressing the importance of aviation in the area. Gov. Heintzle- man pointed out the economic ad- Yancement of timber and mineral resources, water power and the tourist industry and their poten- tials for further development, urg- ing long term contracts for the airlines.
 The Governor told the CAB that extra large investments are re- quired under the pioneer conditions existing in Southeastern Alaska for projects dealing with the develop ment of natural resources. He said that long term operations must be assured to investors if the needed funds are to be forthcoming. If this is true of local airlines," he said, .it is a factor which may need consideration in arranging contracts and in this event the known possibilities for larger and permanent natural resources devel- opment can be an assurance that the region is going to progress and not be a boom and bust country"

The job is par ticularly pleasant because all pies being baked at this time are apple pies.
 The first Southeast Alaska bas- ketball Tournament held at Sitka last week has come and gone. Many interesting sidelights were observ- ed, but the finest was that of the good fellowship and camaraderie between h e visiting students. When Wrangell played, other schools divided up and formed a Wrangell roofing section. When Sitka played, Wrangell and their friends yelled for someone else. That exchange of sportsmanship was 100Go throughout the entire tournament. Many friends were made; much good will was built, and the towns of Southeast Alaska are a little bit closer together for it. Although we were defeated, the Wrangell team acquitted them Iselyes well, behaved like ladies and gentlemen and well represented their town.

 Anyone who is good at cross word puzzles can probably make a decis- ion on who 10 vote for in this forthcoming primary. There are enough names on the ballot to make a fairly sizeable Who's Who" in Alaska.
 In the First Division there are g persons seeking election to the House Of Representatives. out of which six ultimately will be elect ed. In the Third Division candid ates are so plentiful that it is re- ported the average citizen wears a tag saying ''I am not a candidate" as a shield against the assumption that his name probably is on the ballot.
 Even then I got troubles" re- ported one Third Divisioner. "Cou- pie of creditors wanted to vote for me. Thought if I got in the Legis- lature I could make it"
 There are candidates for the other offices. too, but if you are sharp enough to figure out the House race you probably never play the dummy hand at bridge.
 We Wus Robbed"
 Sitka high school won the bas- ketball championship of Southeast Alaska last week at the tourna- ment in Sitka and will meet the Westward winners for the all-Alas- ka championship.
 That is, they won it everywhere except on the front page of the Empire of a couple of days ago where one finds the familiar plaint of the ringside i've wus robbed" Among the dignitaries who added their touch of pathos to the role of good sportsmanship, with pie lures. were Clarence Rhode, Reg ional Director of the U. s. Fish and Nildlife Service; William Blanton, one of Juneau's and Alaska's best known medical doctors, and Stan ley Grummet, insurance man and one of Juneau's prominent citizens. None of the nations so-rated top ten teams got into the national pIayoffs but there was no report of prominent ciZitens berating the of fieials as the bleat one hears from Juneau.
 Tschi Tsch. Sportsmanship?
 Mail Boat Service
 At this advanced date it would appear that the mail boat service which has served various Alaska communities through tine years will go into the archives of history come June 30. At that time the present contracts expire and the present attitude of the Post Office Depart ment seems to be to give way to air carriers as more efficient way of handling mail, even though pro hably little more costly.
 Appeals are being made, justly based on the freight service the mail boats afford. but to date the outlook to continue the service is not bright.
 It's a tough jolt to the west coast towns of Southeast Alaska as well as communities to the West ward which have long depended on mail boats for their freight service. Without the mail contracts, the small boats which have been plying the routes cannot operate without additional charges which means to the communities served an addi- tional strain on their general econ- omy which most of them can't af- ford.

Z Evidence has been piling up

J. D6 good parents spepd much

In their observations Of happy
children. Drs. Langdon and Stout
noted that parents and youngsters
spent much time doing things to-
gether: playing games. washing
the car. building things. going on
picnics and trips. These investiga-
tors considered doing things to-
gether" an important factor m the
good relationship between kids and
parents.
According to other studies,
though. parents who spend a lot of
time with their youngsters don't

ship and happy youngsters. The
general trouble in these situations
is that parents try too intensively
to be good parents, don't have the
relaxed. easygoing ways which
children thrive on.
DR.. F. HI. Allen. medical director
ofthe Philadelphia Child Guidance
Clinic, has met up with a different
type of too-good parent: the type
who thinks he has to spend much
time being a pal to his kid and
squatting on his level. The pitfall
here, comments Dr.. Allen. is that
for playmates children need young
sters of their own age and capa-
cities. For parents. they need big.
grown-up people who can stand
between them and the world, and
furnish solid ideals for them to
build their lives on.
There is a further pitfall when
parents try to be constant play
mates as well as protectors of their
children. They have too little time
left to enjoy their own lives and
pursue their own interests. 1t has
been proven that children make
out best when parents get some
fun out of being alive and transfer
this feeling to their children. Since
parenthood necessarily makes par
ents work harder, stay home more.
sleep less, many parents become
