Attorney General
Ruling Gives No
Help in Deciding
On Vote Machines

An opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral, Ferdinand Sybert, received
Yesterday, offers little help in solv-
ing any problem in regard to pur-
chase of voting machines.
The opinion was written to both
the Board of Election Supervisors
and the Board of County Commits
sioners. Both boards had written
letters asking for a solution.
Mr. Sybert went into number
Of cases concerning awarding OF
contracts and in some cases con-
tract was awarded to the low bid
der. and in some cases the contract
was not. 1t all depended upon the
difference in qualities of the ar
ticles up for bids
A final paragraph did state this:
"In summary the general rule is
that the lowest bid may be rejected
if, in the exercise of an honest dis
erection, another bid seems to be
better for the object to be accom-
pIiShcd.'
Attorneys for both boards, were
of the opinion that such an opinion
did not relate to this case because
both machines had been proven tC
be of similar material and con.
struction.
No action has been taken by the

consideration! As such, associa- ton officials hold that the res taurant industry ranks first in the number of persons it gainfully employs. One out of every six persons working in retail trades is a restaurant employe.
 The restaurant business has fol- lowed the pattern of the economy of the rest of the country. Since 193O, the volume of business done annually increased five times.
 Statistics from the US. Depart ment of Commerce show that four times as much money is being spent on restaurant meals today as in 1889.

Christian Science Monitor
 CHICAGO-Americans pick up a staggering $17,O00,000,0o0 check for "eating out" each year. In do- ing so, they consume almost one fourth of the nations food supply.
 They do this heavy eating in luxurious restaurants, at lunch counters, in hotel dining rooms, in cafeterias, at driVe-in stands, in airplanes, even from vending machines. They carry packaged complete ready-to -eat meals from some of the finest dining rooms.
 There's an average of 78,000,- 900 meals served each day in the nations restaurants. In some of the big cities, more than one meal in three served every day is a restaurant meal.
 These facts and figures come from the National Restaurant As sociation, official spokesman for the food service industry. The as Sociation further asserts that this industry ranks fourth among all industries of the country.
 A restaurant is broadly defined as any establishment where food is consumed away from home for

Mental Health Team Pleased
 At Interest Here

The mental health team which arrived here Friday for an open meeting were pleased with the response and interest of the peo- ole of this ara they stated ana enjoyed the informality of tne meeting
 In the group were:
 Dr. Robert Hewitt, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Washington, DC.
 Ruth Knee, psychiatric social worker, and
 Dr. John Bell, psychologist for the Regional Public Health Ser vice in San Francisco
 This group, which is part of larger group doing the entire ter ritory, has been taken off clinical work for several weeks to map out a program they feel is most desired by Alaskans. The pro- gram resulting will be presented to the Alaska Commissioner of Health on Oct. IT, who in turn will present 1t to the Board of Health. From there, if approved, the program will go to the gov ernor and then to the Surgeon General. It is expected that the final program will be ready for presentation to Congress when it reconvenes, but it will probably require three years before it can be put into effect.
 As the meeting was scheduled for gathering the opinion of the people, many persons here voiced varying ideas.
 The Parron Report recommen- dation that a room in the MIMI Hospital be set aside for mental cases with the necessary trained personnel, was considered by sev- eral to be important to Nome since those cases requiring short term rehabilitation may be kept near at home.
 Another worthwhile recom- mendation was that the Eskimo people be trained to aid in the rehabilitation of mental cases so that older Eskimos may be com l pletely understood and to under stand the treatment being given.
 Over thirty people attended the meeting.
