Dogmushers Organized
 Al University of Alaska

If one might happen to see a student carrying away scraps from the cafeteria of the University of Alaska, it's very likely that the student is member of the Uni versity Dog Mushers.
 The group of thirteen is probably the most newly organized club on the University Campus.
 Some of it's members are from the lower states and will be learn ing to mush while other members are from villages and have grown up" with dogmushing.
 According to Pete Balch, chair man of the group, it has four chief purposes:
 l. To establish dogmushing as college sport on the competitive basis. Eventually the club hopes to have an entry in the North Ameri- can Sled Dog Championship race in Fairbanks.
 2. To give students who are not financially able to support a dog team an opportunity to. continue mushing while at college.
 3. To act as a social adjustment for native students who are familiar with mushing but not familiar with regular varsity sport.
Tundra times., 1963-01-21

4. To promote dog mushing as an Alaskan sport.
 Two Fairbanks mushers donated to the group some dogs and another individual donated a sled. The dogs are kept about a half-mile from campus in some donated kennels and the students are now building a warm up shack there.
 The students, two at a time, take turns feeding the dogs for a week at time. At present they feed them mostly cereal and what scraps they can procure from the college cafe- teria. Later on, they will start feed- ing them fish.
 In addition to mushing, the club members hope to try skijoring-in which three or four dogs pull a skier.
 The members of the club. are: Carol Rudnick, Neil lure, Fred Landru, Mary Bishop. John Paul (Holy Cross), Francis Hunter (Hooper Bay); Robbie Neithercoat, Patsy Popejoy, Rosy Rosey, Mike Jones, Katie Egowa, Dick Weiss, and Pete Balch. Miss Joan Ryan is faculty advisor.

By CHARLES COvELL
Star Staff Writer

Ask the average shopper
what a food broker is and he
or she probably will do one
OF several things;
Look mystified;
Suggest that he's a person
who trades in sugar, flour or
similar futures, or
Bride and say he's very like
ly another middleman who is
In good measure responsible for
the high cost Of living.
Food brokers probably are
the least known TO the general
public In the long line Of food
handlers from the farm TO the
family table.
Theirs is both an old and
a new business. Although food
brokers we're mentioned in
Roman times, they have been
increasing rapidly both In the
Washington area and across
the Nation only since World
War II.
Far from being middlemen
whose profits raise food prices,
Census Bureau statistics show
their operations actually have
reduced consumer prices more
than per cent.
In Washington's teeming
Northeast market section are
food brokerage offices. Chaim-
son Brokerage Co., Inc, is a
sample, occupying unaSsuming
quarters shut off from the
sights and smells Of the whole
sale houses and the melons
being unloaded from trucks just
in from Florida.
The Chaimson office has q
duplicate in Baltimore, headed
by the company founder, P. M.
Chaimson. Otis T. Barnes. a
vice president and veteran OF
20 years in the food industry,
directs the Washington opera
ton.
1T is a fiercely competitive
but fascinating business" Mr..
Barnes says.
Food brokers. 1t turns out,
are not wholesalers. buyers or
traders in any sense. but
strictly specialized statesmen
without whom the smaller
manufacturer couldn't intro
duce his product into q terri
tory. Even the larger manu-
facturer often finds it more
economical to obtain their
services.
Suppose q packer Of a small
line of food products, perhaps
seafood or canned vegetables,
wants to market them in this
area. He contacts a food broker
and pays him a fee of 3 to q
per cent, depending on the vol
ume expected or problems an
ticipated. The lower the volume
the higher the fee.
The commission may not
sound like much, but volume is
the key to all profits in the
SIS billion Washington-B Balti-
more food industry.
The food broker Immediately
puts his statesmen, both retail
and wholesale, on the road to
sell the product. erect displays
and service the stores. At the
same time they are marketing
the new product. they are also
promoting all the others that
the food broker represents.
For that's the key to the
savings to the manufacturers
that ultimately are passed
along to the consumer. A food
broker represents several man
ufacturers and handles many
products, usually widely d.
versified. With Chaimson they
range from tuna to candies
and insecticides. Nationally the
average number of companie;
represented by a single broker
is 20.3.
This gives the manufacturer
a readymade sales force tina
saves salary, hotel. travel anC
automobile expenses, not h
mention Social Security. retire
