 The figures show also, Shelar noted, that consumption of fuel for highway use in Alaska is nearing the amount consumed for other use such as for airplanes and boats.
 Alaska is the only state in the nation in which consumption of highway fuel doesn't far exceed consumption for other purposes. In most states this is by 10 or II to relation, the chief engin- ger noted.
 He pointed out though, h t despite the fact that the average Alaska vehicle consumed less gal Ions of fuel in 1861 than the ay- craze vehicle in every other state except Hawaii and North Dakota,

Village Cleanup Campaign Being Waged at English Bay by All Builders

4 small group of older youth in English Bay has organized a All Builders club, and will con- centrate on home and community improvement. The usual All club member carries an individual pro- sect to completion, but in this newly organized club the projects will be accomplished on a group basis, and the first of its kind in Alaska. says Mrs. Gladys Mus grove, district Home Demonstra- ton agent, Homer.
 After discussing several things which would improve their com munity project in yard clean Up campaign is being tackled in three stages. 1) Garbage pails for each home in the village, 2 garbage pits in easily reached locations adjacent to cluster. of homes, and 3 village cleanup day.
 The first stage of the campaign was completed by eight members who worked diligently to cut dis carded oil drums in half, attach handles, and paint a bright All club green. After the cans were dry, one was delivered to each home in the village. This eom- pleted, the group met with four members of the village council, Sarges Kvasnikoff, Herman Moo- min, Alex Moonin and Dan Anah- onak, concerning the proposed garbage pits.
 Using large map of the vil- lagc showing the homes, paths and ground contours, the youth and the council members dis cassed the best location for the pits, and the council members offered their guidance and super vision to get the job done.
 The third stage of the cam paign, the Cleanup Day, will in- valve both the older All Build CTS and the regular All club, the English Bay Hustlers.
 Members of the newly organ ized All Builders are Steve, Nick and Chrisent Tanape, Vincent, Kathy and Irene Kvasnikoff and Seraphim and Ben Ukatish. Steve Tanape was elected chairman of the group, and Ben Ukatish, sec 1etary.
 Recreation for the village, and storage facilities for the homes are also slated to be tackled by this group who desire to improve their community.
 Mrs. Musgrove recently came hack from English Bay where she helped organize the club and worked with the native young sters in the village cleanup ef- forts.

 The non-highway fuel consump- tian actually dropped slightly while the consumption of high way fuel in the 18th state was increasing by better than 5 per cent, Sherard noted.
 He said that these facts, plus the fact that the percentage of increase in vehicle registrations in Alaska leads all 50 states this year over last year, show an in- creasing dependence by Aiaskans on their state highway system.
