WELL NOW, AND WELL
NOW, AGAIN-this reporter who
swore last October she was
through with the sweat and ink
business; this reporter who by
goshed and by-darned if she
would evcr-but ever-put a foot
in a newspaper office again-all
right SO, here's this reporter
with ink and sweat busting out
all over the place. How come?
Shucks, kids, resolutions, squawk-
ing relatives, and three big lazy
horses have none of the charm of
4 right hot and ready typewriter.
So barring mishap, mayhem, cal
amity, flood and disaster this col

DESPITE THE FACT that this
reporter was sure the business of
this community and this County
would go to wrack and ruin when
she took her marbles and went
home, in six short (hah) months
business seems to be booming,
new businesses are opening or
have opened up, Rockville has not
been taken over completely by the
bureaucrats, the coffee is Just as
good at the local coffee pots, the
same dust and trash still litters
the streets, sidewalks, parking
lots and by-ways, the paving of
sidewalks in RoclSville's business
area is just as full of holes and
acks and no softening agents
ave been applied to ease the
dogs of bedraggled newspaper
people in search of advertising,
news, jibes, digs and jabs.

Iunbecoming in the first place.
And while we're at it-let's
not forget about moth-proofing
the closets, and always keeping
them well moth-proofed in the
future.
KITCHEN-We're still on the

tered pots and pans, knives,
cracked dishes, WORKOUT cloths,
Isponges, mops, brushes, etc.
Let's keep the kitchen neat and

Take a look around your house

only a few minor things.
AT any rate, there are many

At this season, none of us feels
ov"rcharged with energy. It's
tn" "I-need-vitamins' period.
tt holiday season, with its ex-
element. tiredness and frayed
nerves is long past. At this mid
winter point, we still want to re-
coup, reflect and relax.
Much as one hates to break the
spell, this is also the time for
around-the- house tasks we've all
been procrastinating over for
many a day. It's easy for us to
say We'll wait till spring when its
sunny and green again. and bios
SONS are bursting out all over
That's the time for energetic
stuff.
True, but spring is also the
time when we want to work in
the garden. repaint outdoor fur
niture, or hop into the family car
and see the sights. And after
spring is over. therell be the
heat to contend with.
With cool winds around US,
it's hard to remember those
enervating humid summers
when lethargy prevails.
So nOw's the time to think OF
the tasks to do at this time of
year. What to do to "get the
jump" on spring?
!. INSIDE PAINTING-Get
out a brush and paint can and
slap paint on woodwork and
walls to your hearts content.

house in one fell Swoop. Start

RUGS-Most of us shampoo
our hair frequently but forget
about the poor rug on the floor.
We can either send rugs out
to be shampooed, have someone
come to the house to do the job,
or do 1t ourselves to Danish that
faded look.
THROW OUT OLD JUNK
Many attics. cellars, and garages
are all but grooming under their
load Of unused, unwanted, I'M
necessary junk.
Sometimes it's tough to toss
out old magazines and news
papers we've saved for months,
even years, but they can't keep
piling up for an eternity. Be-
sides. they create q fire hazard.
The sames goes for ancient
painting equipment those
empty turpentine cans, cans of
dried-up paint, unusable, hard
as-nails" brushes, and old oil
laden rags. Let's get rid of
them and make our workshop
a pleasure to work in again.
CLOSETS - Let's clean out
those clothes we've saved far too
long. Many needy groups are
all but crying for the shoes,
dresses. and coats that have
grown too small, that we're tired

A packaged pavement. that
brings asphalt walks. driveways,
basement and garage floors and
many other surfaces within the
realm of do-it-yourselfers, is now
available.
1t is cold-paving mixture
which is applied just as it comes
from the package. 1t produces
a dense asphalt blacktop which,
according to the manufacturer, is
resistant to summer heat and
winter frost. 1t requires no
heating, no mixing. Just dump
1T from the bag it comes in and
lamp it with a rake or shovel,
the maker says.
The packaged pavement can
be used for Easements, garages,
platforms. kennels and patching
indoors. Outdoors, it is used
for walks. garden paths, drive
ways. patios and patching. Rake
Ior sweep the base free of OBJ
jectionable stones. sticks, dirt and
empty the so or 100 pound bag
where desired. When it is being
applied to wood or concrete,
dampen the wood or concrete to
have the pavement adhere.
The pavement surfacer was
designed to repair shallow or
deep holes. You trowel it over
a complete floor. This surfacer
can be used indoors and out
doors as underlayment for tiles,
linoleum. flagstones and for
patching holes and ruts in con-
crete, wood or brick floors.

2. REFINISHING - There's
more pleasure than you think in
restoring a battered old piece of
furniture into a thing of gleam-
ing beauty. Wonderful work on
those cloudy, foggy, rainy days
and evenings.
3. WAXING-A good, occa-
sional waxing job does wonders
for furniture that has lost its
sheen. Also, its good protec-
ton for the wood.
If an excess of wax has been
applied over the years, wash of
with warm water and mild soap,
rinse of soap. dry thoroughly
then start with new wax from
scratch.
4. FLOORS-If they're sorry
looking, here again you can re-
move old wax and start anew.
Many fine commercial products
are available as wax-removers.
And If you want a real shine on
the floors without using too
much elbow grease, you can rent
a floor polisher at decent price
and it's well worth it.
POLISH SILVER-It's best to
do this work in patches, as
needed. over the year. But at
least twice a year it's a good
idea to get out every piece of
silver you own and do it all at
one time.
Silver deserves fine care-so
what if it does take an hour or so
to do the job? The cleaning re-
suits are worth it. This also
applies to brass. pewter, and
copper.

is Designed for Hundymun

Dry Portland cement may be
brushed on about an hour after
rolling if a gray color is desired.
1t may be painted any color with
standard floor and deck enamels
after it is thoroughly dry, the
maker says.
The package pavement should
be very glossy, workable and

good. and on her finger there was a ring
with stone which thought was ruby.
The stone glowed against her white skin.

United for Statehood Without Partition

All over the territory plans being made to give Secretary Seaton and his party hearty welcome by citizens who by birth choice call Alaska home and want to participate in all the privileges of their brother Americans whose residence is in the AS States
 These are Alaskans who hope to achieve a long sought goal, full citizenship, in land that has been American for 90 years and territory for 45 years.
 Nome has citizens who can remember when Alaska became territory with the promise of statehood. The delay year after year. the treatment of the territory as poor relation, makes neghbors, few miles to the east wonder at kind of democracy which treasure
 Lack of industrial activity could change overnight if the Government would recognize the need of state hood, release of it's vast oil and forests to private enterprise.
 Aaskans in this part of the territory aren't asking for large of money for paved roads, but for roads to mneralzed so that it develop in a healthy and economically sound manner.
 Although the economy of the different parts of Alaska may be very differen-fish, farming, fur min ing, and other fields-two things stand out on which all Divisions are unanimous namely favoring state hood and opposing partition.
 Alaska is fortunate that Secretary Seaton is very much interested in Alaska and that many of his asss- tants have lived in the territory If statehood is achieved, Seaton will go down history alongside of former Secretary of State William Henry Seward who purchased Alaska for the United States

 This means that every single mother and father in the community with children of school age should resolve to give evening month to attend the PTA meeting and see what is being planned and WHAT THEY CAN DO to assist in the program for the inn proveent of relationships between teacher and parent as well as take part in the youth problems confronting the community.

Alaska Native Service for contrl- button to the communities affect ed thereby on a per capita basis of such amount as may be found reasonable for the education of the native children formerly talk en care of in the native schools" PUBLIC WORKS
 ''We commend the continuance of the program of the Alaska Pub lie Works and urge the adoption of the proposed budget for such purpose. In this connection the town of Nome has thus far if nanced but one project under this program, being a new addition to the Nome Grade School, but is now applying for financing a water and sewer project under this highly important program, which is much needed facility" .HoUslNG
 During the part year an effort has been made by the City Coun- cil of Nome with assistance by the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce, to provide for housing loans drought the Alas ka Housing Administration and to comply with the regulations of the Federal Housing Administra- ton in order to procure home construction loans, including the sewer and water project above mentioned. However, these regu- lations are believed to be too strict for tlfe economy of this area, especially due to permafrost conditions, and it is urged that such regulations be relaxed as far as possible to meet such peculiar conditions"

supervision and financing; and no housing facilities have as yet been providede. We urge the continu- ance of this program.
 We protest generally the pa ternalism extended by agencies of the Federal and Territorial Governments to these people, oth- CT than in aids to self-improve- ment, especially in the matter of welfare and other aids which tend to make them more and more dependent on Government charity and less and less self-re- liant. Although full citizens of the United States, they are in many respects treated as wards of the Government. We urge that en- couragement be given them in- stead to become more self-sup porting with incentive to partici- pate in the industry and com merce of the area.
 SCHOOLS
 we urge the passage of legis- lation proposed by the President in his annual message to Congress providing for Federal aid in the construction of public schools, which should be extended to in- clude Alaska. There is but one public high school in the 2nd Di- vision, although one is planned for Kotzebue and there is mis- sion school at Unalakleet.
 "A situation mas arisen since the Alaska Native Service adopt ed the policy of discontinuing na- tive schools which creates an un- usual problem in this area by reason of the influx of native families with children into Nome in particular. It is reported that within the last five years 164 ad- ditiOsal native children have been enrolled in the Nome Public School, which is more than the entire school enrolment ten years ago. Eighty percent of the present school enrolment are ESkimOs of at least one-quarter blood and about half of these are full blooded natives. This represents an approximate 400 percent in- crease in the enrolment due to discontinuance of the native schools, whereas tax revenues to the City of Nome have increased less than 10 percent. The Terri tory pays nominal amount of $9 per month for nonresident chi1- dren regardless of race, but the Alaska Native Service pays noth- ing towards such expense. This constitutes a greater burden on both the Territory and local tax payers, which situation is rapidly increasing.
 'It is therefore urged that pro- vision be made by the Depart ment of the Interior through the
