Caught in
 the Rifles ;
By V. Maurice Smith
Beyond theHCalI

Jessie Mayo, city police matron has been ordered to take rest. This is unusual for the energetic Jessie as well as the countless numbers of people for whom she does a great many things much above and beyond the call of duty.
 Jessie entered St. Joseph's hospi- tal last week for surgery performed by Doctors Weston and Lindquist When she was released from the hospital her physicians told her she had to rest.
 The matron's job is a seven-day week affair with no days taken off. Jessie is also a contractor to the city for meals served to wo- mems, mems and juvenile jail.
 Besides this she is the refuge for welfare men when a deserted fam fly with from two to 10 children, dirty. and hungry seeks shelter. Kindly women prisoners help bathe youngsters while Jessie rustles footgear, clothing and toys for them, donated by local people and stores
 The detention home is often a place of tears and tragedy as Jessie summons erring fathers and some times mothers while welfare work CTS scout out temporary homes or foster parents.
 All this business of resting is a

 The remark was made by the manager in report to the city em- ployees last week at the city gar- age. Slankard's staff, in compiling the report, accidentally combined the salaries of two people and att tributed it to the sewer foreman, causing the erroneous $272 figure

 At our recent convention in Fairbanks, we (agents1 endorsed in essence a proposed bill that will help materially in regulating the in- surance business in Alaska to the end that the insurance buyer can be assured of reasonable, fair rate for the coverage or protection he is buying. The new bill to be present ed to the legislature will make it possible to keep proper records in the insurance commissioners office so that the percentage of premium returned to the insurance buyer or beneficiary will be accurately known. This is not the case at pres ent.
 We kuestion your figure of 35 per cent which you stated was returned to the injured Workmen in the form of benefits The reason E. is because it is not possible to accurately tell how much of the premium dollar has actually been

To avoid any further acts of
vandalism in the Caldwell area,
Mayor Nichols stated that par
ents will be held responsible for
their children who are caught
destroying property during the
halloween season. Complete re-
paration for all damages incur
red will be demanded by those
responsible for the dastardly
acts.
Additional police will be re-
cruited to check on and hold the
activities of pranksters to an
absolute minimum.
Mayor Nichols has felt this
action is imperative on the basis
of what has already been re-
ported to his office, and he
hopes that by this advance warn
ing the activity of those celebrat-
ing halloween will remain within
the realm of fun and social en-
tertainment.

Additional Grant OF
$4,000 II School
Bond Issue Is Passed

Community meetings were
held Friday and Monday at Dex-
ter City and Jackson school tc
clarity the coming bond issue
of $l90,000 to be voted on in the
Southern Noble school district.
It is to provide new facilities fol
high school purposes. A similar
meeting is to be held at Middle
burg school this coming Friday
evening, Oct. 10.
1t has been emphasized that
the state is assisting the South
ern Noble district in its build
ing program by authorizing an
additional grant of $150,000 from
state funds.
This would make a total of
$4,000 for the project, if the
voters pass the bond issue this
Nov. 6.
However, if the bond issue is
not passed, the state. will i'm
mediately withdraw its offer of
the $150,000 addi+i nal grant and
give it to some other district in
the state.
An opportunity would thus be
lost whereby the state was will
ing to furnish over A percent
Of the money to assist in a build
ing program in Southern Noble.
Since this district cannot build
without such assistance, the hope
for new facilities at the high
school center would be lost.
