ANCHORAGE R - A US. Pub lice Health Service-sponsored team is apparently unimpressed with the possibility of using the old Army Port of Whittier for state institution for juvenile delnquents and mentally retarded.
 State officials headed by Dr. Levi Browning, Commissioner of the State Department of Health and Welfare, led a team of out-of-state experts on a tour of the Whittier facilities Friday.
 Several members of the team, back in Anchorage, began a forum evaluation of the feasibility of the proposal to convert the port to state use, were outspokenly crit ical.
 The state apparently could take over Whittier from the federal government at little or no cost.
 The federally owned complex has been declared surplus - in- cluding History apartment build ing and seven-story composite building containing a bowling al- ley, 300-seat theater, 17-bed hos pital, service club and lounges, a television studio, chapels, and quarters and mess halls.
 Whittier is now maintained by 30 persons who live their in com parative isolation. Aside from water routes to the port, only a railroad line, passing through two long tunnels, connects Whittier to Anchorage, 65 miles away.

Green Berets Symbol Of Americas Finest

Richard Rogers and hlS band ot frontier militiamen wore forest green hats as they waged a kind of guerrilla warfare against the French and the Indians in the l75Os and eos.
 Colonel Edson D. Raff, Com manding Officer of the United States Army Special Warfare Center, 1854 through 1856, first considered the green beret for wear by Special Forces. It has been worn unofficially by Special Forces men during field training since that time. The men of the 10th Special Forces Group have worn it since 1855 without inter- ruption.
 The green beret became the off cial symbol of the Special Forces soldier on Dec. 10, 1861. In trouble spots around the world, where free men are struggling to rid their na- tions of the Communist threat, the green beret has become a symbol of American assistance assist ance from the United States most highly trained special warfare experts.

Centennial Contest Deadline Is Approaching

Less than two weeks remains in which to submit slogan and en- blem entries in the Alaska State Centennial Commission contest now being conducted, according to a reminder issued by the Commis- sion last week.
 The contest, which closes Nov. 30, offers S1,000 to the person sub uniting the winning emblem en- try for the 1867 event, and $500 to the person submitting the win ming slogan entry.
 The executive director of the Commission, Bob Arnold, said the emblem and slogan designated as official would be used on medal lions, pins and publications issued in conjunction with the Centen- nial.
 Arnold said interest in the con- test was apparently high, with large numbers of entries from throughout the State. For those not familiar with the details of the contest, he suggests writing Box l42l, Juneau, or checking at a local school.

State Housing Authority Developing Low Cost Native Mutual Help Homes

May, 1863, the Housing and Home Finance Agency approved the Alaska State Housing Author ity's application for a low-income Housing Demonstration Grant, un- der Section POT of the Housing Act of 1861, in the amount of S179,O87. The purpose of the dem onstration is to develop loW-cost housing for Alaska Natives under the Public Housing Administration Mutual Help Housing Program. Three distinct types of structures will be developed:
 (a) A dwelling suitable for the Eskimos living in barren perma- frost areas such as the Arctic Ocean Coast and the Yukon-Kus- kokwim River Delta, where no timber is available for lumber and fuel.
 Ob) A dwelling suitable for the Athabascan Indians living in areas of Interior Alaska where timber is available.
 Co A dwelling suitable for the Tlingit Indians of Southeastern Alaska which will make use ot native materials.
 In addition to developing the various types of structures, the | feasibility of the Mutual HelI Housing Program will be thorough ly tested by building houses for ar entire village.
 Mutual Help Housing is basic ally a well help you if you'll helr yourself program. Building ma terials and technical assistance are furnished to the natives if they vii. provide the land and all the labor required to construct the houses In addition, they must make monthly payments to cover a DOT ton of the project costs. The amount to be repaid is based or their ability to pay and their con tribution in labor. Upon comple- ton of the payments, the family owns the house. This is Mutual Help" as opposed to Self Help, as only groups of houses or en- tire villages will be built, with all families working together. The first phase of the Demon sration was to test the feasibility of the Mutual Help Housing Pro- gram, and to develop dwellings suitable for the Athabascan h. dians. The Bureau of Indian Af- fairs Housing Officer informed the Alaska State Housing Author ity that the villagers of Holikachuk on the Innoco River were moving the village closer to their summer

necessity of accurate and comprehensive reporting OF

By this means, we hope to encourage understanding

any other people, who do not fit the pattern of the

soon IL VIII pe JnaJ season
again to rhyme moon with
June, and although we are
as poetic as the next one at
times, Just now we are feel
ing practical, so here is our
MEMO to a Bride:
o Before you buy a thing,
make UP your own mind
what you want your house
to look like. Don't listen
to too much advice from
friends. It's confusing.
o Don't be afraid to be origi-
nal. Close your ears to
Nobody does THAT"
o Use clear, fresh colors
that will make your heart
sing when you look at
them.
O Remember that pictures
like company. Hint that
your relatives let you
choose your own and hang
them in groups. (The pic
lures, not the relatives.)
Q Area rugs are more prac-
teal than wall to = wall
carpets for new brides be-
cause you will have no
problem when you move.
And the colors are limit
less.
If you have a picture
window, don't choke 1t to
death with blinds, heavy
draperies, criss-cross cur
tains or hamper 1t with a
big lampshade on a table
that shouldn't be there
anyway.
Q You're stepping into a
new world so why not take
along all the wonderful
new colors, new vinyls,
new shapes of furniture
to match your exciting
new life?
o With a white background,
you can change the color
mood of your room with
the seasons. And remem-
Der variety is the spice OF
life.
0 Make your rooms express
YOU - and your first
home will be something
you'll always remember
with pride. Good Luck!
