Survey Plans
 Underway For Urban Renewal

The Alaska Housing Authority has requested that the city make formal application for a prelimi- nary survey to determine whether Nome qualities for urban renewal, and if it does, a maximum of $336,000 can be made available for this purpose. The survey will be made, when requested, at no expense to the city, it was re- vealed. The original request for the survey was made by the NWA Chamber of Commerce.
 The Anderson property on D Street was given recently to the city by Anna Anderson, and is being placed on sale. Bids are currently being accepted by the City Clerk. The action was de- cided on at the special Council meeting last Thursday evening.
 The need for a new city build ing was discussed at length at the meeting, although no action was taken. The facilities for city offices, museum, library and other necessary functions all need ade- quate space, it was felt.
 February 24th is the time set for the public hearing on a rate change for the Nome Power and Light Company.

Economy Rise

The American economy will
improve generally in 1860, but
farm income will take another
dip. economic authorities pre-
dicted today.
This was the picture they
painted at the 37th annual Ma

The outlook for 1860 is for
higher rates of economic activ-

records established just before

Koffsky, in a talk on the Ma

Mr.. Koffsky, who is deputy
administrator of the Agricul-

lieves consumer incomes may
increase another 4 or 5 per
cent by mid-1960."
He added that he also fore
sees an increase in the per cap

average consumer.
Discussing the effect Of the
steel strike, Mr.. Koffsky said
it had little impact on con-
sumner markets. particularly the
demand for food" He said

Mrs. II. +. asks:
Our family room is also
our dining room. Can you
give us any help as to what to
do with the books and toys
when the room is being used
as a dining room?"
Dear Mrs. r. F.:
One family I know solved
this same problem by building
one long wall Of shelves from
ceiling to floor. These held all
the toys and books. Over this
they hung a wide Eastwood
shade which. when pulled
down, covered the shelves
with their weird assortment
Of raggety toys, and gave
that wall an interesting tex
ture. Matching bassw wood
shades on the three windows
on the opposite wall created
a paneled effect in the room
and, when the candles were
lighted. you couldn't ask for
a more attractive dining room.
The next morning up went
the shades and the room be-
came the children'S own pri-
vate bedlam again.

Earliest Beds

1t seems apparent that men

Congo pigmies lie down on
two or three slabs of wood
with another piece at the
end to prop them up. They
use neither mats or blankets.
EskimoS form a slab of ice

cover it with skin rugs. From

a clay bench built into the
earth wall which, when COW
cred with mats and a log

primitive peoples built simple
beds, though they used mel.

hide bands over which were
thrown animal skins. At a

came far more elaborate and
there are examples still in
existence veneered with tor

A by-product of the Cru
sadeS was the exposure of
many Northern Europeans to
the greater home luxury and
comfort of Southern Italy
and the Near East. Soldiers
of the CruSades saw beds of a
type they had never known
before and returned home
with many new ideas for
their own sleeping equipment.
So a new era of luxurious
sleep equipment dawned in
Europe. Draperies reappeared;
canopies came into common
use.
The Medieval period was a
time of great social upheaval
and unrest. A man was not
safe even in his own home,
and sleep equipment of the
period reflects this. Beds were

turers with doing their best

Brown Still on Stand
Still on the stand as the
hearing entered its second day
was Francis C. Brown. presi-
dent and board chairman of
the Schering Corp. which
claims the development of the
new miracle drugs predniSone
and predisolone.
Although Schering has ap-
piled for a product patent COW
ering these drugs, it has not yet
received one. Other companies,
also claiming the development
of the drugs. have applied for
patents. The company that
eventually is awarded the pat
ent viii completely control the
drugs for IL years.
The Schering Company has
reached licensing agreements
with five other companies CIV
ing them the right to sell
Scherng's drugs in packaged
form. The companies are
Merck, Upjohn, Pfizer, Parke
Davis and Ciba. all leading drug
manufacturers.
Royalties on Package Sales
Mrs. Irene Till, patent ad-
wiser to the committee, testi-
fed that the agreements call
for the payment Of 8 and 5 per
cent royalties to Schering on
packaged sales.
This sounds small" she
said, but it means IS to so
cents on every bottle of 100
pills"
Noting that the agreements
call only for packaged sales,
she said the agreements "set
the stage in which small COM
panies (which sell these drugs
| at lower prices) cannot gain
access to bulk sales"
However, she said, a small
Mexican company, Syntex. pro-
duced prednisone or a similar
drug in 1850 and received a
United States patent in 1851.
Schering developed prednisone
in 1855 and has been trying to
get a patent ever since.
Companies Sue Each Other
Syntex sued Schering and
Schering filed a counter-suit.
However, a settlement was ar
ranged whereby Schering paid
Syntex and unspecifled amount
of money for relief from any
further claims on the predni-
some matter.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Brown de-
clared that at least two of the
Schering licensed companies
