FILL AT SHOEMAKER BAY NEXT STEP IN PINT OPERATIONS

Filling in of sufficient tideland area at Shoemaker Bay for con struction of it's lumber plant and pulp mill is the next major steI in the progress of the Pacific Northern Timber Company develop ment here, c. Girard Davidson, Se- cretary and legal advisor of the company said here this week.
 With the plans as now completed it will be necessary to bring in a dredger and fill in a sizeable DOT tion of the 45 acres of tideland which was recently authorized by Congress to be sold to the company after appraisal, Davidson said. It is expected a suction dredge will be brought here in connection with dredging of the local harbor, now authorized, and PINT may acquire it's services.
 Davidson said that as soon as the fill is made present plans call for full construction of the entire plant at one time instead of grad ually as was at first considered.
 Davidson, who was accompanied by his son, Mike, who was enioying little fishing, went on to Juneau late yesterday accompanied by F. G. Hanford, local PINT representa- tive. ~SEs

$877, GOO APPROPRIATED
 FOR HARBOR WORK IN SEE INCLUDING WRANGELL

The Alaska District Corps of Engineers has received Civil Works appropriations totalling $S77,0OO for the construction of harbor improvements at three loca- tions in Southeastern Alaska, in cluding Wrangell, Harold Moats, of the Anchorage office said while on visit here this week.
 The work involves enlarging small boat basins at Petersburg and the construction of a small boat harbor at Metlakatla. The projects will be advertised for bids this winter and construction completed next spring.
 At Petersburg the existing small boat harbOr will be enlarged and deepened to provide additional small boat mooring facilities and accommodations for larger commer- c1al fishing craft operating in that area. Plans call for dredging the outer third of the harbor to a depth of 15 feet below mean lower water for deeper draft vessels and dredging of a 5000 sq. it. area on the inshore side of the existing harbor to a depth of II feet below mean lower low water to provide additional facilities for small boats. The existing harbor at Petersburg was constructed in 1887.
 The overall improvement project hnpIznh fnY yolve construction of an addition to the existing small boat harbof Ill the area behind Shakes Island with a connecting channel to the existing mooring basin. The basin addition and it's connecting channel Will be dredged to a depth of 10 feet below mean lower low water Also involved in the project is con- struction of small breakwater be- tween Shakes Island and the main land
 Additional funds must be pro- v1ded before the entire Wrangen improvement project can be com pleted- Funds presently available provide for completion of only 40 per cent of the project. The funds necessary to complete the work are expected to be made available next year. Wrangell's small boat harbor was constructed in 1886.
 Metlakatla Harbor
 A small boat harbor ITO feet wide and 800 feet long will be con structed at Metlakatla, one of the small yet important fishing centers in Southeast Alaska. The barbor area will be dredged to a depth of 10 It. below mean lower low water and protected by a rock fill break water 1,140 it. in length, to pro- vide safe mooring for the commer- cIal fishing fleet.
 According to Col. Carl Y. Farrell, Alaska District Engineer, the pro- Jects require some local assistance While the federal government does provide for the bulk of the con structlon portion of the worl, must be financed by local interests.
 The three projects are a portion or navlgational and harbor projects authorized by the 18th Congress on March ?, 1945, following re- concentrations made by the Corps or Engineers. Among other author lzed work yet to be funded are harbor improvements at SeIdovia Skagway, Sitka, Port Alexander Meyers Chuck and Craig Harbor and navigational improvements at Elfln Cove, Gastineau Channel and Wrangell Narrows.

X-RAYS

For more than fifty years internal
human structures have cast their
shadows-in blacks and erays n
whiteS-against X-rav films where
trained eyes can see them. interpret
the different shades and take ac-
ton which can preserve health and
life
Since its invention by William C.
Roentgen in 1895 the X-ray h as
been developed into one of the best
diagnostic tools known to medicine
1t improved mechanically and the
advances in its use and widespread
application have opened such di-
mansions that radiology now deals
with the use of radiant energy in
both the diagnosis and the treat
ment of disease
Visible light the kind we see
travels in waves So does heat so
do radio waves. ultra violet rays.
and others Each is different be-
cause 1t has different wave length
The rays from an X-ray machine
resemble visible light but the wave
lengths of X-ray radiation are only
about one ten thousandthS as long
as visible light waves.
Visible light can penetrate the
air, or for some distance into water
or through glass. but not opaque
materials like wood and tissue. X
rays can penetrate many substances
which would either absorb or re-
fleet visible light.
The Xray is usually not used for
direct viewing but for making pho
tographic records, the image Of the
unseen within the body When the
X-ray beam passes through the
body to a Photographic plate, part
of the rays will be blocked by any
substance Opaque to the X-rays.
such as bone.
No one can feel the passage of
X-ray through the body, and there
is no danger from X-ray handled by
a skilled technician.
The rays in Horoscope are the
same as X-rays, but instead of be-
ing exposed to Photographic plate
they are used to outline a shadow
on screen which has been covered
with material that CLOVIS when x
rays strike it. The rays pass through
the body to the screen.
In that way a physician who
knows his lights and shadows can
study the organs of the body actual
ly in action. If needed beyond that.
ne takes a regular X-ray picture to
study the plates at leisure
X-ray movies. combining the per
manence of X-ray plates with the
movement Of the Horoscope image,
are a recent new technique. Univer-
sity of Washington scientists were
pioneers in this field and have made
important contributions to its de-
yelopment. An x-ray movie OF the
heart in action. produced at tho
University. has already been shown
in many parts OF the United States
and Europe.
Medical science will continue TO
use increasingly the techniques al
ready developed for study Of the
unseen by the use of X-ray and
other radiant energy
