UNEMPLOYED FEDERAL
 WORKERS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR INSURANCE BENEFITS

Today is a big day for the Fed eral civilian worker who has lost his job through no fault of his own," according to A. B. Phillips. executive director of the Employ ment Security Commission for Alaska. ''This is the day he be- comes potentially eligible for un- employment benefits under the new Public Law 767 signed by President Eisenhower last Sep tember"
 The mere fact that an unem- ployed Federal worker is unem- ployed does not necessarily mean he is qualified for benefits" MT. Phillips pointed out. He must meet all the qualifications for eli- glbility as any unemployed work CT in private industry"
 Application for benefits by the unemployed Federal worker may be made in the nearest local of flee of the Employment Security Commission. One of the five of- fices is located in Anchorage.
 Unemployed Federal workers should provide themselves with a social security number, if they do not now have one. This will speed their claim through to final disposition. The Territorial agency, acting as agent for the Secretary of Labor, through an agreement recently signed by A. B. Phillips for the Commission. will make the payments to the unemployed Federal workers. The amount of benefit payments and the question of eligibility will be determined by local agents un- der the unemployment insurance laws of Alaska.
 Too much emphasis cannot be placed on a much misunderstood part of the entire unemployment program. Many workers feel that part of their wages is being de- ducted from their pay check each pay day to help pay for unem- ployment insurance. This is def initely not true" states Phillips. No part of the unemployment program is paid for by the worker and no money is taken from his pay check for this purpose. Too often the workers confuse this with O.A.SI. Social Security which provides an income after age 65." In the SS program, it is

paid by the consumer. A proposed DC-3 airstrip, resulting in lower airfreight charges, would be most beneficial to all concerned, ac- cording to Dr. HOnsinger.
 The marketing of the inspected meat this year is to test the sala- bility of the meat and it's accep- tance by the public. If it proves successful, the project can look forward to steady market for meat produced above the needs of the local native population and with improved transportation, a lower cost to all, Dr. Honsinger said
 Some 32,O0O pounds of meat was passed for possible sale through Anchorage stores or other com mercial channels. Dr. Honsinger was informed that about 140,000 pounds will be included in this years kill of four herds. The meat is reported to taste very much like baby beef.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALvERsON

With the gradual lengthening of the hours of darkness comes the appearance of the starry host in the sky. A clear night at this time of the year will reveal the sparkling gems of the sky.
 The nearest star is So far from us that it's distance from us re- mains mystery. It is difficult to conceive of 25 millions of millions of miles. Yet so remote is our closest stellar neighbor. Stars vary enormously in their distance from US.
 So enormously distant is the nearest star that if it was plotted out of existence at this moment we will still be able to see its light shining in its accustomed place for more than three years to come. Other stars whose dis tanceS have been measured are a hundred times more remote than the closest star.
 Light travels 186,00O miles in one second, or eight times around the earth during the time it takes you to take two ordinary steps!

 Several years ago civic minded scoutrnaster got behind movement to put numbers all the houses in Nome and put up street signs The Boy Scouts did
 wonderful job but the weather has taken the paint off signs, have disappeared completely; houses have been moved without having had their numbers changed and result the effort has been partially lost.
 If some organization would purchase a quantity of numbers and consult the City Clerk for the plat with corresponding house numbers and conduct house to house campaign selling the right numbers they could make money and serve the community.

Japanese Picket Lines Smashed by Police to Extend US. Firing Range

OTAKANE, Japan, R-Japan- csc police smashed union picket Lines in their places Saturday as a survey for 36-acre extention of a US. firing range began.
 Several hundred police clashed with 500 unionists supporting the local villagers in their attempts to prevent condemnation of their farmland.
 Twenty demonstrators and some police were injured. Two union men were reported in serious con- dition.
 The survey site is near noun tainous Qtakane village, 270 air miles north of Tokyo, where US. forces have been firing since Oc- tober, 1946. Their shells travel over the village. The expansion was negotiated with the Japanese government to avoid having to fire over the village.

Ike Calls Conference
 On Improving Physical Fitness of US. Youth

DENVER, R-President Eisen- hover Saturday invited 139 sports world figures, top educators and leaders in other fields to Sept. 27-28 conference here on building the physical fitness of Americas youth.
 The purpose of the conference is to get more youngsters out of the spectator grandstands and into active participation in ath- leticS.
 The President has expressed concern that lack of such partici- patton is responsible in part for increasing juvenile delinquency, and for failure of so many young people to measure up to Selective service requirements.
 As announced previously, Vice President Nixon will preside at the two-day conference at Eisen- hower's vacation headquarters here. The President himself will receive the conferee's recommen- dations and speak at dinner con- cluding the sessions.

Palmer, Anchorage May Get Chance
 To Buy Nunivak Island Reindeer


 Palmer and Anchorage area residents may soon have an op- portunity to purchase reindeer meat, it was announced last week by James w. Wilson, commission CT of agriculture
 pr. Fred Honsinger, territorial veterinarian, recently returned from Mekoryuk, where he in spected a large herd of reindeer, Segregating PAS of the animals for slaughter. The Nunivak Island reindeer project is located at Nick oryuk. pr. Honsinger was accom- panied by Vern Hirsch, Alaska Native Service assistant director of resources.
 On their arrival at Mekoryuk, the men were met by Joe Chase, who was in charge of the project, and his father, Fred Chase, who maintains the refrigeration plant at the site. Following an inspec- tion of the plant, Dr. Honsinger said, T was very much impressed by the up-to-date and well-kept facilities of both the slaughtering and refrigerating plants"
 On the following day, a large herd of reindeer were brought in. The inspected and passed sides of meat were stamped and passed. Carcasses, Dr. Honsinger said, were predominantly steer as they carry on a planned breeding pro gram on the reindeer herds.
 On Nunivak Island there are approximately 1000 reindeer. At one time there were several times this number and the range was heavily overgrazed. Chase now estimates the carrying capacity of the island at 5000. Predation is limited on the island, Dr. Hon. singer reported-only one wolf crossed on the ice during the winter several years back and was eliminated. However, Chase reported the islands large fox population causes some fawn losses during the year.
 As for some of the problems faced by the project, marketing and transportation are the two main ones. As there is no harbor suitable for large vessels, the SUD- ply ship North Starr has to lay cffshore and discharge its cargo by hghtering ashore. The meat that is shipped goes the same route except for the meat that is flown via light plane to. Bethel
 These small planes are limited in load capacity and the IS cents per pound airfreight between Mekoryuk and Bethel must De
