SEEKING SPECIAL SCHOOL MILK
 PROGRAM IN ALASKA

Alaskan school children are the only youngsters in the Un- ited States and territories who are denied the opportunity to buy milk at reduced price under governments special school milk program.
 Yet three-Week study in Pal mer and Seward schools during April showed that Alaskan chil- dren will drink more milk if they can buy it at lower prices, H. P. Gazaway, marketing economist said. Gazaway is head of the agricultural economics depart ment of the Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station.
 GazaWay feels that if Alaskans show enough interest to work for extension of the school milk program to Alaska, the govern ment may include the Territory
 No children anywhere under the U. s. flag need additional fresh milk any more than do the school children of Alaska, , Gazaway said. "Nutritionally, the need for fresh milk is undoubt- edly greater during winter months"
 Alaska has been excluded from the school milk program because the Territory's milk production is not enough to meet the de. mand. More than one-third of the fresh milk now used by Alas. kans is imported. The school milk program grew out of the farm-price support provisions of the Agricultural Act of 1854. Congress recently added the Territory of Hawaii to the pro- gram and extended it two years with a S75,000,0 0,000 appropriation.
 Congress ignores the fact that many states now benefitting from the Act are also in areas low in milk production, Gazaway said. A1askans import milk from Washington, Oregon and other states that are areas of surplus milk production.
 Local dairymen need the en. couragement such program would give, the agricultural ec. 0nonic said. Alaska dairymen in their infant industry" must compete without help of price supports or administrative price controls with subsidized, large, scale producers and proceSs0rs in the states. Despite this one. sided competition, the Alaskans have more than doubled milk production during the past five years.

 Mayor Wilson and council members have been discussing the possibility of the City going into city manager type of ser vice We are just exploring this method" Mayor Wilson stated. Before going into this form of city government we shall have to take it before the voters. At the present time we are making study of it's feasibility for we are not too satisfied with the eff fieieney of the present system. He pointed out that some cities use the city manager-eity clerk combination, hiring but one qualified person for the position.
 By making this interim ap- pointment we will have an op- portunity to explore the field of available city clerks and man agers and complete the study Of the possible change-over in city government methods. May or Wilson emphasized that be- fore changing to the city man. ager form it would be necessary to approach the voters through the polls.
