lin Roof Work

When the homeowner is
painting q roof or chimney, or
making repairs which require
several tools, brushes and con-
tainers on the roof he is often
in an awkward spot.
The average roof has q pitch
made to order for these imple-
lments to slide down.
Most trouble of this kind is
easily taken care of by means
of a portable shelf, made by
mailing two pieces of board to-
gether in the form Of a corner.
The shelf will serve on pract-
ically any pitch Of roof.
Probably the best size for the
average house is a shelf Is or 1S
inches long made out Of six or
Ieight-inch board. It is enough
to hold two cans, a couple Of
brushes, a scraper and a putty
knife.

This Ohio Town Is
1efense-Minded

From Businessmen to Boy
Scouts, Wickliffe, Ohio, is a civil
defense community.
Wickliffe, town of 5000, has
just finished its most ambitious
CD project, A city-wide survey
was made of every home and busi-
ness to determine what and where
equipment could be obtained in a
civil defense emergency, and who
among its citizens would require
special attention because of age
or infirmity during an evacuation.
The canvass of the towns $500
homes required four months work
by Boy Scouts and other volun-
teers. In each house, they obtained
such useful information as what
emergency tools like shovels, picks,
and crowbars the family had, and
where utility connections were To-
Gated so they could be turned off
in case of fire.
All food supplies were inventor
led to determine how long the
town could feed itself and how
many evacuees it could handle
from Cleveland, 13 miles away, in
an emergency.

House Resolution Asks Federal Loan To Aid EC Fund
By Jim Hutcheson

JUNEAU tRl-A HOuSe-ap approved resolution urging immediate ap- plication for a federal loan to bolster Alaska's Employment Se- curity Fund goes to Gov. Heint- zleman Saturday with a back ground of politically-t -tinged 'argu- ment.
 The House sent the resolution to the governor on a f9-3 vote.
 Three days ago the Senate side tracked a similar resolution into the Finance Committee for fur ther study.
 On the final House vote yester- day Republican Ed Locken, Pe- tersburg banker, voted with the Democratic majority for passage, and Dora Sweeney, Juneau Dem ocrat, sided with the other two Republican members. She said she wouldn't necessarily oppose a loan application but urged more study.
 Rep. Russell Young, an Anchor age AFL union leader, said re- ports from ESC officials indicated the fund would be depleted by April l.
 Young said labor groups have agreed to corrective legislation under which workers would con- tribute to the fund, possibly about one percent of their wages.
 And Young predicted the present legislature would clamp down on boomers" who ''work two or three fast months in the territory and then go outside to draw full benefits"

4 NSTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

A two-inch telescope will re- veal the ring of Saturn and also the largest satellite about the planet called Titan. A four-inch telescope will reveal four other satellites on favorable occasions.
 At irregular intervals belts are seen similar to Jupiter but are much fainter. Saturn's equatorial belt is the brightest portion of the planet, and an olive green zone often caps the pole. Excel lent photographs of Saturn have been taken at both the Lick and Greenwich observatorieS.
 The rings of Saturn are neither solid nor liquid, but are composed of enormous clouds of very small bodies travelling around the planet each in an orbit of it's own. Some think the bodies are very small and comparable to meteors. Per haps they are thousands of miles apart in space, but so distant is the planet from the earth and so numerous are the particles that they appear continuous or solid.

PART III
PART III Guides 10 Answers 10 Questions On Framing a Constitution

Where can Alaskans find some competent guides to aid them in answering these fundamental questions about framing Alaska's constitution? Merely posing the questions solves nothing. To en- sure a strong stable state govern ment obviously all alternatives to these questions must be weighed before a final choice is made.
 Most desirable would be for the territorial government to author iZe tand pay forD the compilation of manual on state constitutional provisions such as Hawaii did for it's constitutional convention in 1850. The University of Alaska would engage on the task, but it does not have at present either the needed funds or sufficient trained staff.
 Until such a compilation is made, the task must be accom- pliShed piecemeal from available and inexpensive sources. To fill this need, the Dept. of History and Political Science, University of Alaska, compiled and pur- chased 10 basic kits of study aids last year and has made them available to interested groups throughout the territory At the present date they are all in use
