 How They Feel
 Last month hearings were held in various fishing communities of the Territory on Bartlett fish trap elimination bill. providing for the gradual custer of traps in five years. Results Of the hearings have now been made available by the Territorial Department of Fisheries and are summed up as follows by the department:
 Ketchikan, WraEgell. Petersburg and Juneau - urp rimous opposit- ion to the Mckay 10-year plan: unanimous approval to accept a straight fiye-year prohibition, the so-called compromise plan. Ketchi- kan wanted the finnl date Decem- Der 31, 1860. while the other places were willing to compromise on De- cember 31, 1861.
 Cordova - Five-year plan would De llOSJ dtttpldUlt. I1OM6NeI- OOf- dova would endorse any act, Secre- tary McKay's included, that would remove traps from Alaska.
 Anchorage and Kenai - Wanted elimination of traps as soon as pos sible, but if necessary would go a. long with McKay's amendment fol 10 years. providing the proposed plan would not be binding on the 1 future state.
 Kodiak Unanimous opposition to the Mckay amendment; unani- nous approval of immediate aboli tion; no apparent interest in any tive-year plan.

Your social security tax is 60
ing up January /.
How much it will go up will
depend on how much you earn
and whether you work for your
self or somebody else.
Your new tax rate if you're
working for someone else will be
pa per cent of your earnings UP
to $4,000 year. 1t has been 2
per cent. This means that if you
have earnings Of at least 1900
a year the increase in dollars
will be $1,000 a year with a
yearly total of $94.5O. If you
have earnings of less than 81, 200
ia year the increase will be
something less than $1,000.
Your employer will have to
pay the same increase since
under the social security law
he's required to match your tax
payments.
If you're working for yourself,
your new tax rate will be 33s per
cent of your net earnings up to
$4,000. 1t has been 8 per cent
The yearly tax increase will be
up to $15.75 with a total tax OF
up to SALTS a year. A self-em-
ployed persons tax is more be-
cause he's his own employer and
there's nobody to match his pay
mentS.
The raise in the tax results
from the new provision Congress
put in the social security law
which makes it possible for to-
tally and permanently disabled
workers covered by social Sc
Icurity to get payments if they're
SO or older.
With the raise and the new
provision for disabled persons,
Congress also set up new book
keeping arrangement for the tax
The money from the January
raise will be put into a special
Federal disability insurance trust
fund from which the disability
payments will be made. There
were doubts among some Con-
gressmen that the raise wouldn't
cover the disability provision cosl
and out of the doubts grew the
idea for the special fund. With

$50 Americans die of cancer.
7. There is one cancer death
approximately every two minutes
in the United States.
8. Last year. every seven
minutes another American was
saved from dying Of cancer.
9. Every seven minutes an
other American who might have
been saved dies of cancer be-
cause proper treatment was be-
gun too late.
10. This year, more than 1885,
900 Americans will die Of cancer.
II. This year more than 700.-
900 Americans will be under
medical care for cancer.
IL. This year there will be
about 100000 new cancer cases

By Taking Woman Out
THE PROBLEM
GEORGE--So soon after burying his wife!
S. r. C.-She was my wifes best friend.
The Details

The Details
George - My mother-in-law
died three months ago. but my
father-in-law seems to have lost
all sense of propriety. He is seen
about town walking around with
a woman and going places with
her.
My wife and her sister are
both terribly upset to think that
their fathehr can be interested
In another woman so soon after
burying their mother. 1t comes
all the more as a shock to them
because their parents were al
ways so devoted to each other
and they always thought their
father would never look at an
other woman.
I have talked to my father-in-
law about this, but he resentS
my criticism and tells me he will
do exactly what he pleases.
S. r. C.-The woman" l have
been seen going out with was my
wife's closest friend. and her
husband had been my closest
friend until he died two years
ago.
We are both a little too old for
romantic nonsense. but my wife,
who. knew she was not going to
live long, talked to me insistently
about her friend, She was
worried that / might be lone
some after her death and be-
come attracted to some strange
woman. and she expressed the
hope that her friend and / might
find happiness with each other.
So far as appearances are

their homes.
was foolish enough after my
wife's death to give UP my home
and move in with my younger
daughter. Now the only peace l
can find is to talk with the
woman who was my wife's best
friend. They want to deprive me
of this and make me a helpless
old man. They have no need to
fear an early wedding; in fact,
I feel too discouraged to think
of ever marrying her. but know
I cannot be happy with the chill
dren.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The father is right in believing
that he made a mistake in giving
UP his home so soon. He would
probably find less tension in his
daughters home if he had kept
his own home, at least tenn
porarily, as retreat.
The daughters made a bad
mistake in showing their anita
gonism to the widow who was
their mothers friend. This anita
gonism had an effect opposite to
that intended.
The father would make the
worst mistake of all to consider
his wife'S desire that he marry
her friend as binding on him.
Her emotions at the time may
have been much stronger than
her judgment. No marriage is
without some risk of unhappi-

detecting the ordorless, tasteless
nerve gases developed. but never
used by the Germans during the
war. which presumably would
be the major chemical weapons
of another war.
The new gas alarms can de-
tect one part of any of these
nerve gases in 10 million parts
of air, a quantity too small to
affect human or animal life.
A waterproof alarm for combat
conditions, about the size Of a
portable typewriter, yet tough
enough to withstand parachute
drops, was described by DR.. John

Sentially heat. Such a device.
the chemists said, can detect less
than one part of nerve gas in 10
million parts of air. 1t now is
being used at the Army's Rocky
Mountain Arsenal.
Another gas-detecting system
which requires neither visible
light, as does the portable alarm,
nor light exciting f1uorescence,
was described by DR.. Jerome
Guldenson of the Chemical War;
fare Laboratories. 1t produces
light by a reaction of the nerve
gases with the chemical lumiIlol.
1t will be valuable. it was pointed
out, for continuous sampling of
the atmosphere.

ported by DR.. Arnold Prostak of
the Army Chemical Center. 1t is
in the form of a crayon made of
detector chemicals. The
crayon will write on any sur
face, such as paper, wood, stone
or painted board. Ordinarily
the marks are white CT yellowish
white.
If there is the slightest trace of
phoSgene in the air, however,
they will be red. green or blue.
They also will detect hydrogen
e-anide, lewisite and cyanogen
%9ride, equally dangerous
gasses.
Although developed originally
for war use, it was stressed, these
crayons are expected to have
peace applications. Some Of the
war gases have come into wide
industrial use. Phosgene is an
important constituent OF some
dyes. The crayons can be used
to detect any leaks of these
gases and to tell whether it
is safe to enter an area exposed
to them.
Industrial Use Seen
The paper filter detector also
may have considerable indus
trial use, although the nerve
gases. as such, have not found
a place in industry. With a
different chemical composition
they can detect as low as three
parts per million of nitrogen
dioxide and less than two parts
per million of chlorine. The same
principal may be applied to hy-
drogen sulf1de, sulfur dioxide.
amonia and hydrochloric acid
which have wide industrial uses.
Dr.. Harold r. Smith of the
chemical warfare laboratories,
and a group of industrial chem
lists described a gas alarm device
on a quite different principle,

portable, makes use of certain

beyond all prudence when the
marriage has been decreed under
such emotional stress.
The ideal course now would
be for the children to retrace
their steps and become friendly
with the woman they have so
unwisely excluded. BY doing so
they could. first Of all, end or
minimize the unfavorable i'm
preston created by their fathers
public friendship with her.
She should be welcome as a
friend of the family. but they
should make an effort to keep
their father socially busy. This
is his most trying period of
adjustment and IN should have
the benefit of as much compan-
ionship as they can encourage.
The children should realize
that when a man has had a good
marriage and lost it through
death, he feels a greater sense
of loss and is more in danger
of making a hasty or unwise
second marriage than a widower
who has had a less ideal ex-
perience. They must help him
patiently. understandingly and
unobtrusively.
