hopes, fears and joys we in Alaska find so vital to our very existence? with most happenings, the clear ing up by forthcoming details then we settle back to the same old routine.
 The recent decision of the City Council to give assent to the tear ing down of some old buildings at Fort Abercrombie, stirred up an interest that long lay dormant. The good City fathers found the people didn't want these buildings torn down. Despite their insight Illness (we mean the buildings, rot the City fathers) they seemed to have a usefulness after all.
 The area in which these build ings are located is certainly one of the most beautiful nearby. With out doubt it should be put to better use than it is now. But the same criticism can be put to it as can be said about lot of other projects and plans in Kodiak They never come to fruition. We have heard of plans to make this park area, recreational site for the benefit of residents grown ups and children. But, of course, per- mission must be obtained. Therein lies the rub. We are then up again st a seemingly adamant govern ment agency-the Bureau of Land Management The request, it seems, is filed in drawer 13," or whatever drawer unanswered and unacted upon letters are put. There is complete silence, and we go our way as if the request was never made. You can't help but ask the question, "Why the del lay?"
 We who lived here in 1922 and who live here in 1858 apparently are not going to enjoy this a developed recreational spot-un- less there are some radical changes in the near future.
 The same applies to other pro- jects. The municipal airport died aborning for want of land title. The playground at 9th and Mill Bay Road was never realized bel cause a lot of work had to be done and some financing. Mainly its be- cause these projects take spear heading-agitation stirred up by one or two individuals, fired in the belief they are needed.
 We mentioned last week another idea for a playground. Where it is to be located is important but the most important thing is the play ground itself-a playground where the cry of play ball'', is heard where football is played, or tennis Dadminton, etc. Or are the children here going to come down with { severe case of "spectoritis" be fore they grow up? Are they goins to be denied the pleasure of par ticipating in sports simply because we failed to provide place fol them?
 .* s TEMERITY. Now thai the Armory is an assured projec1 there are whispered feelings ex pressed that we will not be able to maintain the building ever alter 1t is built. No one denies the armory is needed and will ado much to our community life. That's good enough fcr me. Let's get or with it's construction.

Discussion turned to the SAT-
est place in an air raid. Chair
man Thomas Of Texas Of the
subcommittee. considering In
dependent Offices appropria-
lions for 1859, said:
II asked the mayor Of q big
industrial city in Germany two
or three years ago where he
would rather be during a bomb
ing raid and what was the best
protection against q bombing
raid. He said. In case of q
bombing raid. I would rather
be right there and he walked
to his window and pointed
down beneath his window.
II said:- Why would you
rather be down there?"

length Of his visit subsequently
was extended by authorities to
November 81. 1851. but he did
not leave.
In March, 1854, a final de-
portation hearing was held by
immigration authorities. while
the physician was in prison,
and DR.. Herband was ordered
deported. His counsel. David
Gardner. contended in court
that the deportation hearing
was unfair because the physi-
clan was mentally incompetent
at that time. Judge Keech.
however. held that the physi-
clans rights had been properly
protected by counsel at the
hearing. DR.. Herband has since
recovered.
Government counsel con-
tended the law dealing with
deportation hearings permits a
hearing where a person is in

fed. Assistant United States

place. We lost about as many
people in shelters as any other
place. The answer is to get
your old people and your chill
dren out of the industrial CEN
tiers, keep your working force
here and cut down as much as
you can, get the unnecessary
people out"
At another point in the dis
lcussion. Federal Civil Defense
Administrator Leo A. Hoegh
said he would take advantage
Of the best cover available" or
i go to the basement or interior
of a building. He said he would
get down and get away at
least from the direct drop" He
said the best type Of shelter
would be 2 feet Of concrete
or 3 feet Of dirt. For fall
out. he said. take advantage OF
6 inches of steel or 3 inches
of lead or the equivalent.

said that both DR.. Herband's
wife and counsel had been noti-
fed.
During the course Of the
hearing before Judge Keech.
Mr.. Gardner argued that the
suit brought by DR.. Herband to
prevent deportation was moot
as the physician was now in
Canada. The attorney then
sought dismissal of the suit
with the notation without
prejudice"
Judge Keech granted the
Government summary judy
ment, upholding the deporta-
ton order.

Tips on Gardening
Speed up fall pIontins snowdrcP varieties -.
Pick tops from ospor0sus plants
By WILBUR H. -YoUNGMAN
Stor GoFden Editor


The prolonged September
drought was broken BY q
downpour over last week end.
Many plants were beginning
to show the effects Of the
scanty rainfall - one-half
inch for the first three weeks
of September. The 0.8 inch
of rainfall should put the
soil in good condition for fall
planting as well as get the
newly seeded lawns of to .
good start.
Speed Planting
Fall planting of those
things which should be well
established before cold
weather should be completed
as soon as possible. We can,
on the basis of an average,
assume that the first killing
frost of the season ts only q
month away-probably less
in the areas outside Of the
District.
Snowdrops
We often make false as
sumptions and then are
rudely awakened by some
studious individual who does
not accept the. commonplace.
In the July issue Of the Ma
tional Horticultural Maga-
zine are pictured II Of the
81 species and varieties of
Snowdrops grown by an
English collector. Most Of
us considered the growing
of galanthus nivalis and G.
elwesi as all that were Of
importance-this article Is
most enlightening.
GoFden Blue
In the same issue. National
Horticultural Magazine, Is a
most interesting article on
blue flowers by Helene M.
Fox. A number of the kinds
mentioned are more salts
factory in New York than in
the Washington area. Never
theless, her descriptions and
comments are very worth
while for the gardener who is
interested in color in the
garden.
Asporasus
II the tops Of the aspara-
gus plants were not removed
