Vandalism Reports Made 10 Police

Vandalism at the KrlSe resi- dence at the corner of Airport road was reported to city police on Saturday morning. The house, unoccupied for only a few days, was entered by unknown per- sons. Storm windows were brok- en and trunk, clothing and other items thrown from the first floor to the basement. City police said it appeared to be the work of children. Finger prints were taken and will be investi- gated.
 This is the second report of entry on property where the house is unoccupied. A week ago, a break in the Wendt property on WasilIa highway was reported 10 Territorial police who are in- vestigating. Damages to the pre- mises were reported.

ALASKA FOLDERS MAKING BIG HIT

The stockpile of 75,000 four color Alaska folders published by the Alaska Visitors Associa- tion, is melting rapidly as re- quests for them are pouring in. Frank H. Whaley, managing dir ector of AVA, said 1000 individ- uai requests weekly were being handled by the Juneau AVA of- flee and nearly that many out of the Anchorage office.
 This deluge of requests is a re- suit of an advertising and pro- motion campaign being carried on by AVA, Whaley explained. With the hospitality program now underway in Alaska, Wha- ley urges that all AVA members display their membership decal which automatically is provided for each member to put up in his place of business. They may be obtained from the AVA office in Juneau.
 This folder carries replica oi the decal with this caption "In Alaska look for this insignia it's the sign of friendly hospital ity from a member of the Alaska Visitors Association"
