and terrifying - world.
Il didn't worry after | got your post

wrong, and you could take care of your
SELF" She was talking quietly and fixing
his breakfast as though he hadn't been
away, but tears we're running down her face.
He turned away and ran upstairs to his
room, and when he was there he took long
look at the picture on the wall He didn't
think he'd ever get out of his mind the
shock he'd felt last night, in front of the
safe. when he'd lighted that match. Harry
had said, Closer" and he'd held the match
and looked up. In the thin. Pickering light,
he'd seen Harry's face, the face Of Evil.
Every cruel, hard, mean line in the painting
had been duplicated there in the face so
close to him.
1t had frightened him back to his senses.
He'd seen Harry, and in the same flash of
light. he'd seen himself, seen the road he'd
started down; and in fright and terror and
sudden revulSion, he had run.
The memory Of the picture was
with him now as he pushed his papers aside
and started debating into the machine,
brief message his secretary would type out
for him to sign in the morning.
The man was evil, as Blanton had said.
The state couldn't take chance on such
man being loose. getting his claws into some
kid who hadn't grown up with that picture
on his bedroom wall. He wouldn't be let
loose, he wouldn't be eligible for parole;
the only person he could harm would be
the Governor himself. But no greater harm
could come to the Governor than the
destruction Of his own principles.
Harry wasn't going to lead him down
wrong road again, away from what he
knew was right, no matter where the chips
might fall. The note called for commu-
tation of the death sentence. - The End

Join in National
 Chamber of Commerce Improvement Program

Four local firms today an neuneed that they will partici- pate in Operation Home Improve ment, the gigantic national pro- gram to make 1856 Home hn- provement Year"
 The Coop Warehouse, Ketchi- kan Spruce Mills, Koslosky's and Grasser's leading local suppliers of home improvement needs will participate in Operation Home Improvement, the nationwide program to modernize Americats outdated and inadequate homes.
 AS their part in the unprece- dented program, the local firms will step up their efforts to be of service to homeowners here with the desire to make better homes of the houses they live in.
 The program was initiated by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to encourage home improvement throughout the year and to make it easier for home owners to obtain the materials and services that go into home improvement. Hundreds of lead ing national manufacturers and trade associations, as well as many thousands of local busi- nessmen in every part of the country, have joined in the effort.
 The Hon. Albert M. Cole, top housing chief in the Federal gov ernment, pointed out that home improvement is sound invest ment in Americas future" He went on to explain that home inn provement bolsters the economic and social well-being of the com munity and the nation, in addi- ton to providing comfort, plea sure and beauty for the family.
 Spokesman for the local firms said this week that ssby this act, we have affirmed our sincere de- sire to be of service to Palmer homeoWnerS who want to inn prove their homes. HomeoWners will find personnel of the firms prepared and eager to answer questions on phases of home i'm provement.

 Varieties 22-1 and 22-2 are sel- ectionS from a cross of White Rose by Earlaine. Both selec- tions develop tubers rapidly and have produced a the rate of 10 tons per acres of U. s. No. 1 size potatoes by Aug. 20. At this early harvest time, the varieties have eut-yielded all other varieties in Alaska by at least a ton per acre. Both seedlings are acceptable as new potatoes, but are not as high quality or as smooth as later ma turing varieties.
 Variety 22-1 seems to be better adapted to the Fairbanks area, Dearborn said, and 22-2 in the Matanuska valley. Both will be tested for the first time on the kenai peninsula this year.
 Variety 33-1 is a smooth, oval shaped tuber with a distinct buff colored skin. A cross of Sequoia by f78-427l-43, seeding 33-1 de- velops al about the same rate and tonnage per acre as Arctic Seed ling.

ing of the Till boy, of Chicago.
The Sisters of St. Joseph, and the
Franciscan Fathers, of Pulaski,

three years for Negro children.
They are working at present under
serious financial burdens as more

in September of this year, to pro-
vide decent eating quarters for
the children.
A medical clinic which provides
medical needs for the Negro
people of this area needs medica-
tons of all sorts. Clothes for
children and adults are sorely in
need.
1t would be a generous gesture
in the part of readers to help
this noteworthy cause by helping
this Negro mission become a liv-
ing foundation to the memory of
young Till.

Here Are
Facts About
Dimes March

i. Polio cases in future years
will be reduced due to the Salk
vaccine, but caring for the pa
tients we now have is the greatest
problem.
2. Douglas County in 1855 had
over 209 patients who must be
taken care of.
3. Almost all of the Douglas
County March Of Dimes money
stays in the County. but help is
still needed from the National
Foundation.
A. In every year over 100000
is spent. Mild cases might cost
only a few hundred dollars, but
seriously involved eases cost as
high as $4,000 per year.
5. Averaged out, Douglas
County expenses are from 500 900
to Sl2O, 900 per year for patient
care.
6. Polio is a sporadic thing and
an epidemic might break out any
day, thus the theme of this years
campaign, Polio isn't licked yet"
z. Polio cases still develop
even with the use Of the Salk
vaccine: most are not paralytic,
but still involve some treatment.
8. The Salk vaccine is designed
to prevent polio paralysis. not
the polio infection.
8. After the first vaccine shot
an interval Of seven to 10 days
is necessary for antibody product
ion. Some children though they
have received the vaccine, on
tract polio before the antibodies
are completely through the sys-
TEN.
10. Recommended schedule for
Salk vaccine shots : two doses,
the second preferably two to four
weeks from the first and a third
or booster shot at least seven
months after the second shot and
before the next polio season.
IL. The sensitizing effect of
the first shot will endure in most
cases the better part of a year.
There is no need to begin over
again if the second shot is missed.
II. Scientists do not Yet know
the duration Of the shots, or when
another viii be needed for re
newed protection.
Is. The polio vaccination pro-
gram financed by the March Of
Dimes calls for two shots for
children in the first and second
grades
IA. The five to nine year old
group comes first because that
is the age bracket with the high
est rate.
IS. Second highest age group
is from one to five. After nine
the trend decreases.
Is. Eventually there will be
an0ugh vaccine for all under 20
years.
II. Some patient care in
Douglas County costs a. much as
$4,000 a year for each patient
Is. The Douglas County cam
paign opened officially on January
