JUNEAU R - The State Ad- ministration's proposal for estab- fishing borough government in Alaska was submitted to the House of Representatives today.
 The 42-page measure was intro duced by the Rules Committee at the request of Gov. Egan and the Legislative Council.

MRS. EMILY BOUCHER RETURNS FROM INAUGURAL EVENTS

Returning home from the na- tion's capital yesterday was Mrs. Emily Boucher who welcomed the warm rain after the cold and snow in Washington, D. c.
 Following the White House Conference on Aging which she attended as an Alaskan delegate and which over 2,000 delegates participated from all the states and territories, she remained for the inauguration ceremonies. Par ticipation in many of the inaug- ural events was made possible through the courtesy of the Alas kan congressman and their staffS who went out of their way to find housing as well as provide reser- vations for the Alaskan guests.
 Because of the cold and wind and snow Sens. Bob Bartlett, Ernest Gruening and Rep. Ralph Rivers were hosts all day at an open house in the Senate Building where refreshments were served and the Alaskan visitors could watch the inaugural events on television. The more hardy visitors preferred to take their places outdoors and observe the ceremony first hand from the steps of the Capital.
 Some of them sat through the four hour parade with it's 30,000 participants and 40 bands regard less of the weather with the tenn perature at IS degrees, so that they might cheer the Alaska Gov ernor and the 1st and End Scout Battalion who were next to the end of the parade. Their position in the, parade was in the order in which the states were admitted to the Union. Probably the only marching unit properly dressed for the weather was the Alaska National Guard garbed in parkas and outdoor clothing.
 Mrs. Boucher reports that four inches of snow tied up Washing ton, D. C. so completely that traffic did not move for several hours. Sue Bartlett, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Bartlett enroute to the inaugural from Baltimore, which is ordinarily a 40 minute trip was g hours getting home. Stores were closed at instead of goo p. m. as scheduled so that the clerks could try to get home and office buildings were emptied early in the afternoon as soon as the snow started falling.
 Alaskans visiting the Senate prior to the inaugural heard their Senator Bartlett present bill; proposing that a mountain be named for the late Senator Nue. berger of Oregon because he was such a friend of Alaska.

JUNEAU tR - Gov. Egan pro- posed today that Alaska spend record $59,012,411 during the ifs cal year starting next July l
 He also asked the Legislature, in his 1861 Budget Message, to boost state personal income taxes, now IA per cent, to total of Is per cent of the federal income tax an individual must turn over to Uncle Sam.
 The new budget would include all federal transitional funds available to the state during fis cal 1862 and $5,681,94 of the estimated $6,800,O00 surplus the state will have on hand at the end of the current fiscal year.
 It will also include anticipated general fund revenues or more than $49 million during the year beginning July 1.
 Egan said his proposed bal anced budget would enable the state to "carry out a bold but reasonable program for Alaska's development"
 The governors Transportation Program, including all moneys which will be available from the federal government, from the sale of bonds and state appropriations, will total more than $7O million, including $41 million for actual highway construction.
 Thus, transportation will eat up approximately half of the total money package the state will pay out during fiscal 1862, approxi- mately $40 million, including funds from all sources, including federal grants and bond issues. $33 Million Obligation Bonds Egan recommended, in speech before joint session of the House and Senate, that the state issue general obligation and revenue bonds totaling $33,325,0O0 during fiscal 1862.
 Last Nov. 8, the voters approved the sale of $3O.5 million in gen. eral obligation bonds to pay for (O new gymnasium and water system improvements at the Uni versity of Alaska, $2 million, t2) Ferry System, $23 million, t3) a vocational education school north of the Yukon, $1.5 million, (4) state funds to obtain federal Hill-Burton matching moneys for hospital construction and equip ment, $2.5 million, and t5) con- struction and equipment of bush airfields, $1.5 million.
 Egan recommended that only $275 ,000 of the Hill-Burton bonds be sold, explaining that only that amount will be available to the state in federal matching funds during fiscal 1862.
 He also recommended that only $550,000 of the bush airfields bonds be sold. He said that would be all of the funds the state could adequately handle for the pro- gram during the budget period.
 Additionally, he also said he was not recommending the sale of | $5 million of the Ferry-Road | bonds because federal matching funds for fiscal 1862 have already been obligated.
 The $33,325, ,0O0 in bonds would be filled out by the sale of $7 | million in revenue bonds to fi- nance improvements at Anchor age and Fairbanks International Airports and the sale of an ad- ditional $4 million in revenue bonds for housing and dormitories at the University of Alaska.

to do the same thing, he might
fail.
When we learn to handle
life's problems one at a time,
they aren't too difficult. It's
when they consolidate and bur-
den us down that their load
may crush US into defeat.
But the Christian can take
all of his problems to the One
who has the power to cope with
them--God in Heaven. God
answers prayer. When we learn
to take all our problems to Cod,
we are on the best-and only
road to getting them solved.

We all have personal problems
that sometimes prick at our
hearts overwhelmingly, just like
the ounce bush thorns.
The way to tackle life's
problems is to take them to
God. God is good. He wants to
help. He wants to solve our
problems for us. All we have to
do is ask and believe.

Have you ever tried to prune
a ounce bush? If you have,
then you know how the tiny
thorns prick at your fingers
painfully as you grasp the
branches.
But if you take hold Of only
one branch at a time and pro-
coed with caution, the little
thorns don't have enough
strength to prick your fingers.
Individually, the branches seem
powerless against you. But
when they are pressed together,
watch out!
Here is a good example of
strength through unity. One
branch from the bush cannot
do much harm. The thorns are
there, all right, but they don't
have much bite" When they
ante, however, they have
enough power to keep anybody
out.
This can serve as a lesson.
Tackle life's problems one at
a time, and they are more east
" overcome. But try to tackle
all your problems at once, and
you could be defeated by those
problems.
Yes, there is unity in strength;
and this holds true in just about
all situations. A group Of dedi-
Gated people, pressed together
with one common purpose in
mind, has more power than do

The women of pioneer
America may have died early
from overwork. But they en-
joyed a psychic satisfaction
we lack today. And so did
the men.
That, according to the di-
rector M the Cincinna 1
Museum of Art. helps to ex-
plain the role played by the
fine arts in this country.
In the course of a lecture
on Audubon and Art in the
Interior Valley" given at the
Corcoran Gallery yesterday.
Mr.. Philip Adams observed
that the rise Of the fine arts
in the Mid-Western United
States was directly related
to the dying of the craft ira
dition.
Little Art
He pointed out that the
pioneers had little use for
paintings and sculpture. No
less a person than John
Adams declared he wouldn't
give six-pence for a Raphael
or a Phidias."
The men and women Of
those times were amazingly
self-sufficient," Mr.. Adams
said. Almost everything they
needed they either made
themselves "or did without"
The pioneer, "as he
changed the shape of the
world around him by his
own hands, was a creator"
and felt no need for a fur
ther experience Of art.
The hunger for fine arts
was born with the mechani-
zation that reduced men to
"digits in the assembly line
process" he said.
Comparing the life Of the
early settlers with our life
today. Mr.. Adams gave an
amusing rundown of how a
modern American spends his
day:
He begins by operating a
machine - turning off the
alarm clock"

When we look back at Richland

turnovers, and dumnplings, jellies
and preserves.
Cherry Filings may be used In
many ways for variety. An angel
food cake, tube or loaf, can be
made festive by slicing horizon
tally and adding filling between
the layers and over the top. Add
whipped cream for a finishing
touch. Use the cherry filling, hot
or cold, as a topping for ice
cream, or In tartS for a New
Years buffet.
Jeihed cherry sauce can be
served as it is with turkey CIR ham,
or as a salad with grapefruit Sec
lions ON a bed of salad green's. It
Is nice to use wifi cottage cheese
in a low calorieS salad because it
does not hquify when exposed to
air.
Cherries offer variety, conven-
fence, color and a tart sweet fla
vor to holiday or everyday menus
with meats, as garniShes, and as
desserts.
Buying SIeepers For Children
When buying Sleepers for chill
dren, make sure they are adjust
able for length, advises Lora Hill
yard, Extension clothing specialist
at Montan aState College. Look
for sleepers THAT have several
rows of snappers ON the shirt. Also
examine children's knit shirts for
true knit. If these shirts are cut
slightly off-grain they tend to
twist on the child. Labels on all
clothing list The fiber content as
a guide TO care.
Hint for the Week
White cauliflower and turnips
stay white when cooked in water

has been added. Add a tablespoon
of vinegar or lemon juice if your
water is hardened by alkali. Avoid
