"Alaska's hospitality is match ed only by that in Siam.
 That's the statement of MT. and Mrs, Leopold Fiedler, employees of the Cologne, Germany, news paper Neue Illustrierte" (NeW Illustrated who arrived on the University of Alaska campus last week after travelling 58,000 miles in a German volksWagen the past two years.

 Friedler and his wife write ar ticles for the 8O0,OO0 circulation newspaper. He also is a photo grapher. They send in their arti- cles whenever they can stop long enough to do so.

Keep Athletics
In Perspective,
billiard Advises

Members of the Button high
school and college football and bas-
ketball teams were advised by an in
ternationally famous athlete speak
ing at the Lions Club Honor Ban
quet Tuesday eveAing in the. high
school gym, to absve all, keep ath-
letics in their proper perspective.
Harrison billiard, twice an Olym-
pic champion and holder of many
track records, told the boys that
sports activities should be regarded
as a pleasant phase of life with a
value for future living, but not as an
end in itself.
Now connected with the Cleveland
Indians public relations department
billiard outlined the riab's weakness:
behind not being able to quite make
the pennant last season, and spoke
of prospects for this year.
In discussing his experiences at
the Olympic games in London and
Helsinki, he described how the infec-
tious spirit of sportsmanship and in
ternational good relations had in
iuenced everyone including the Rus
sian delegation at the Helsinki meet
ing. That was their first ~participa-
ton since 1912.

Expect Building
Activity To Be
Good During 1

C~onstructiJS prospects are bright
for the Blu bon community during
1854, with Extensive new building
and remode ing planned for both
town and crlntry, it is shown in
a survey cor Ileted here recently.
A continuation is expected in the
coming yea of a building boom
which found 20 new homes completed
in the immediate Bluffton area in
1853, and two dozen residences which
have undergone extensive remodeling
programs.
In most remodeling projects at
least one room or more have been
added to houses, although re-styling
kitchens and bathrooms have set the
pace in work of this kind, it was
reported. Converting attics into bed
rooms also has been common, for
larger families are outgrowing pre-
sent quarters. This results from
more families having three and four
children in comparison with the pre-
war. trend of one and two.
Despite booming remodeling pro-
grams during 1853, it is predicted
that 1854 will bring an increase of
at least 20 per cent in such projects.
Many new buildings have been
erected and remodeling has been
general in an active farm eonstruc-
ton program, also expected to gain
momentum during the coming year,
More and more farm buildings are
required to keep pace with new farm
ing te~chniques, which include such
de lopments as covered barnyards,
additional equipment barns, etc.
Another factor favorable to a
continuation of the building boom is
the fact that materials and skilled
labor are plentiful in this area.

tual cost figures, an immediate start
can be made in computing individual
assessments, he told the council.
Although most of the work in
determining an assessment formula
and making the computation will be
done by the Finkbeiner, Pettis and
Strout engineering firm, an assess
ing board made up of "three disinter-
ested local property owners" must
work with the engineers on the
proposition.
