will and to continue its services to the community, students in Kodiak elementary and high school will launch their annual Junior Red Cross membership enrolment next Tuesday, Nov. 1.
 Mrs. Eunice Neseth, Junior Red Cross chairman of the Kodiak Red Cross Chapter, said the drives ob- jective will be to enroll all of the eighteen schools in the chapter, which includes those of the island group here and as far westward as the Chignik school. Last year eight of the schools in the locality enrolled.
 MT. lvor Schott, superintendent of the Kodiak Independent School District, fully endorsed the enroll ment, urged teachers in the schools to give it their support, and asked pupils to join when the enrolment period begins. Enroll ment in the elementary schools will be by classrooms and in secon- dary schools by home rooms. En- rollment carries with it subscrip- tion to the Junior Red Cross News for every elementary classroom and subscription to the Journal for every group of 100 secondary students. Circulation of the two magazines is now 5OO,OOO for the News and 90,O00 for the Journal.
 Throughout the nation the Jul nior Red Cross carries a variety of programs. Its members in schools produce many different articles for recreational or comfort use in military, veterans, and civilian hos pitals ad community homes for the aged and day nurseries. They pro vide entertainment for hospital pa tients and residents of the homes for the aged.
 In times of disaster, Juniors do indispensable work, relieving older volunteers of such non-technical duties as messenger services and unloading of supply vehicles. In chapters participating in the Blood Program, Junier members help to recruit and publicize local blood mobile visits.
 Several Junior Red Cross pro- grams are calculated to promote better understanding and cement friendship with other countries. Thousands of individual gift boxes are packed each year with contents provided by the students them selves and shippers as tokens of good will to school children in oth- CT countries. High school students fill chests with school supplies, each adequate for a classroom of 40 students for school year. These are sent to countries which have suffered natural disasters or war, to help restore normal school facilities.
 Pictures painted in school art classes, photograph recordings of school glee clubs, orchestras, and bands and albums of letters, sket- ches and snapshots describing phases of American life all are a part of an international communi- cations program. Paintings, record ed music, and correspondence al- buns are received from other countries and distributed to the school in the U. s. A.
 An example of community pro- jects carried on by Juniors was the water safety courses conducted last summer on Mission Lake by Thiof P VioLo,.xy

PROBE SOUGHT AS RUNAWAY TRUCK

By EDWIN p. CORWIN, in LABOR
Demands have risen for congress.
sional investigation of the increasing
fatal tragedies resulting from failure
of brakes on tractor-trailer trucks
Many have been killed and many in
jured recently by such runaway high
way monsters.
Calling for probe of the situation
by the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, Congressman Frank NJ.
Clark (D-Pa.) declared it is apparent
that either safety standards are not
high enough or they are not being
properly enforced.
This was followed by an announce
ment by the Interstate Commerce
Commission that new regulations
aimed at curbing truck brake failures
would be proposed.
Commission Member Richard F.
Mitchell, who is in charge of the
ices motor carrier division, de-
clared that in the first six months
of 1855 fatal truck accidents have
increased 33 per cent and the num-
Der of people killed 81 per cent
over the same period last year.
Inadequate inspection and poor
have been found to exist
and other failures of carriers to COM
ply with fundamental provisions of
the motor carrier safety regulations
are evident" he said.
BLFE PLEA RECALLED
The ICES long delay in acting drew
fire from President H. E. Gilbert of
the Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men.
The commission waited over a
year before it faced the deadly
facts out inadequate truck
brakes" he said. The BLFE "peti-
toned the ice over year ago to
investigate the causes of increas-
ing highway transport accidents,
and the petition is still gathering
dust" Gilbert pointed out.
At that time the Brotherhood asked |
he commission to investigate whether

The Leagues claim is based on

WASHINGTON, d. C. The
aluminium capacity of America is
slated to expand by at least So per
cent by 1858, as the demand in
creases for this strategic metal, it
was reported by Sen. Richard Neu-
berger (D-Ore.). Only a small por-
ton of the expansion will occur
in the region most fitted for alum
mum production - the Pacific
Northwest, with it's vast hydro
electric power resources.
Ironically, the huge Kitimat
plant in Canada must be enlarged
far ahead of schedule to serve the
American market. "Blame for the
Northwest's losing out lies with the
private-power lobby and their poll
tical allies who have blocked Hells
Canyon and other needed federal
DAMS" the Senator said.
Can private power bring alum
mum to the Northwest? The an
swer lies in the fact that not an
ounce of aluminium ever was smell

kilowatts became available, at 2.2
mills a kilowatt-hour. This is the

that authorities want to wait until

48 million persons visited the park
areas. The estimate for 1866 is at
least 80 million.
AS have said before, the parks are
neither equipped nor stated to pro-
tect their irreplaceable features, nor
to take care of the increasing millions
of visitors. Accommodation are in
adequate. out-dated, and many are
falling apart. AS a result, visits to
many national parks at the height of
the season are at least uncomfortable,
and may be dangerous. Wirth says
some visitors are forced to sleep on
the ground and in their cars, to pay
more for lodging than they can aft
ford, or to leave the parks in frustra-
ton.
Wear and abuse of park lands
is brought about simply by crowd
ing of people beyond the capacity
of lodge and camp grounds, roads
and trails" says Wirth. Natural
features are vandalized and de-
stroyed"
Visitor enjoyment is impaired by
same spot to see the same view at
the same time, and many people leave
with curiosity unsatisfied and enjoy
ment and appreciation incomplete

ties nor the personnel to help them
