In summary, Justice Frank

 CONDUCTING '56 MEME ERSHlP DRIVE

The Alaska Visitors Association under the direction of Frank H. Whaley executive director, is now engaged in an intensive drive for 1856 memberships.
 Whaley pointed out that a two to one matching fund to $10O,- 900 set up by the legislature will put the resources of AVA at l50,000 if the drive is successful.
 The first city to engage in this all-out fund campaign is Anchor age. To date the drive has brou- ght in cash and pledges $6,8OO from Anchorage, and a total of $11, ,000 from overall response. Other cities will have their drives in the near future.
 Whaley stated that 35,O0O,000 persons a year take vacations away from their homes. All we have to do is to create a desire in a very small percentage of them to come to Alaska.
 The Chamber of Commerce in each community has been re- quested to assist in the fund drive. There has been a fine re- sponse to this request. Twenty five per cent of the amount raised by each community by the Chamber can De retained for To- cal use in promotion of tourism to the local level. The retained funds can be used for any purpose for pamphlets, personnel, histor- ica1 markers, or any work of that nature, Whaley explained
 Radio stations and nv stations have given their cooperation in this program of tourist promo ton. Whaley appeared over all TV stations every day of the first of the drive in Anchorage, in addition to his radio appear ances.

 Dear Editor:

First, because of the open, deep water at Goose Bay. Second, because of the two-mile lake which could be made five miles long by opening Jacobson's Lake. Third, no fog in Wasilla.
 Later we received a letter from the War Department inquiring how much we wanted for the homestead. Our price was $l5 per acre We heard no more of it and the fort is on Ship Greek now Anchorage.
 No doubt politics had great deal to do with this.
 A few years ago the Native Service wanted to build a hos pital for TB patients. Patriotic citizens of Palmer and Wasilla offered free land but land was bought in Anchorage where the Hospital now stands. From what Il can learn the reason the hos pital was not built in Palmer was

 There is no doubt in my mind but what Uncle Sam will give us all we need for the State of AL aska.
 I think the Fort is the best place, and won't cost anything and all the people of the Matan- uska Valley and Anchorage-in in fact all of the people of Alaska will benefit by it because there won't be any extra taxes.
 Let's hope politics won't play the great part in this.

est Service completed SO years of lead
ership in natural resource conservation.
The Congress of the United States set
up this new service bureau IN 1908 TO
manage the far-hung forest reserves
which were being established on the
headwaters of the nations watersheds to
promote favorable conditions OF water
flows and to furnish a continuous supply
of timber for the use and necessities OF
citizens of the United States .
The Forest Service is celebrating its
Golden Anniversary by making spe-
cial effort during 1855 to increase the
nations awareness of its dependence
upon products and services from forest
lands; to point out the progress made IN
forest conservation in the past so years,
not only on national forests, but on state
and private forest lands as well; and
to encourage even greater progress in

years, the idea had been developing
gradually, and here and there was gain

the Forest Service under the inspired
leadership of the worlds leading con-

the whole-hearted support of President
Teddy Roosevelt, also fervent con-
servationist, provided the needed nu-
cIeus for the launching of great and
