Open Up the Land

100000 acres. Under this program the Territory would take title from the Federal government and would sell or lease it to any citi- zen without delay and red tape for business or practically any other purpose the individual had in mind Under this plan, the can didate stated, Alaska instead Of the Federal government would pocket the sale price and for the first time in the history of Alas ka the local communities would have room to expand and would be enough land to expand their economies through development and exploitation of the land.
 Under his plan, Kodiak, as one instance, would be provided with 42,OO0 acres. This land could be purchased at public auction, leas- ed for periods up to 55 years, or some other plan be worked out without the present red tape.
 Lichtenwalner stated he worked for the land office for five years, and saw the people in the small towns trying to get land. He said he tried to help them, but even the local Land Office people "can't beat back that red tape" He said: Many people trying to get as lit tie as five acres five years ago are still trying to get patent to that same five acres today"
 The candidate may be a still small voice crying in the vast wilderness of land that is Alaska, but the merit of his presentation is that someone is attempting to break through that maze of red tape, and government delay, that hlnders the progress o1 this great territory. A little more study is necessary to properly evaiuate his plan, but that a plan is offered is starting point for the solution of this very vital problem.

* ARE YOU HAPPY IN YOUR WORK? According to a Gallup Poll, almost half of the people are unhappy in their work. This news has prompted worth while article by Pat Sturtevant in the March issue of Today's Health, the American Medical Associa- tion's magazine of general circula- tion.
 Mir. Sturtevant has some proven advice, if you are one of the un- happy ones. In capsule form, it boils down to this: First, let spe- cialists help you modern tech niques of testing, interviewing and counseling can work wonders. Sec ond, get the facts-that is. assess your own plusses and minuses in an honest and critical way Third, know where to 20 for work. Learn where the right job for you may be found. Fourth, find something you like. It's. good, when possible, to develop hobby into a job. Fifth, improve your present job. See if you can do your work bet ter, or transfer to some other po- sition in the same company.
