Many homemakers, attending the recent HomemakerS Short Course at the University of Alas ka, received eight hours of in- struction in the use of the new Medical Sef-Help Training Kit from Mir Lew Hanks, civil defense specialist with the Cooperative Extension Service.
 These kits are a complete teach ing aid to assist groups in learn ing basic principles of care of the sick, first aid, disease prevention and radioactive poisoning protec- tion, Hanks said
 The kits are available through the State Department of Health or through the Cooperative Exten- sion Service office in the Federal Building in Nome. A kit can be scheduled free of charge by any group desiring to use it for a pro- gram of home medical instruction or first aid.
 Hanks said the goal is to have at least one person in each Alaskan family trained in home medical help.

ALASKA
By Fern Johnson

One day I was no longer free Alaska won my heart from me Strong ones fall beneath her
 spell. Her traps for men work very
 well. It was as if l had no choice, Once I had heard her haunted
 voice. She has some charms that keep
 q man With gun in hand and gold in
 pan. She isn't kind to everyone Shes been mischievous to
 some, Her mountains lie close to the
 sea. She cradles glaciers on her
 knee. She'll call you far from towns
 and noise, And teach you sounds of na-
 ture's voice

Three Major Marketing Challenges Face Nations Dairy Farmers Today

James Wilson, state manager for the American Dairy Asso- citation of Alaska, today cited three major challenges in Anne rica's market place, facing the dairy farmers of this state and across the nation.
 Challenge number one is the keen and growing competition from a host of highly promo ted products in the market place, on the menu and on the family table. A few years az o there were less than 1,500 items on the shelves of t h e corner grocery store. T d a y this number has increased to more than 7,500 items in t h e average supermarket.
 Challenge number 2 is t h e alarming invasion of limitations for nearly all of the wonderful dairy foods, Wilson said. Cheap vegetable oils are displacing butterfat in more food prod ucts. Every sale of an imita- ton product, and the list is constantly growing, bites into the sales of milk and m l k products.

Three additional applications for technical assistance grants for studies relating to the ec- onomic development of Alaska are being forwarded to the Area Redevelopment Admins tration, according to Henry Ro- loff, commissioner of the de partment of economic develop ment and planning. Three ap- plicationS for grants for other studies were made last week.
 Like the earlier requests, the grants are sought to pro vide detailed information on Alaska's resource and tourist potential, Roloff said.
 Studies proposed for ARA grants by the new applications would seek to define wood pro ducts industry opportunities throughout Alaska, to survey tourist potential in arctic AL aska, and to provide knowledge toward the development of snow sports facilities in the state.

Challenge number three IS the struggle by all industries and products to capture a greater share of the consumers dollar. Whether it's automo- piles or home appliances, radio or television sets, houses or home furnishings, permanents, new clothes, travel, liquor or a host of other items, promotion al dollars are seeking consum- CTS dollars.
 Never before has the dairy farmer so urgently needed a strong sales voice in the mark etplace," Wilson declared, add ing, Dairy farmers must unite through their farm organiza- tions, marketing associations, breed associations, and through the American Dairy Associa- ton for new sales horizons.
 He explained that by SUD- porting the promotional pro- gram of the American Dairy Association at the uniform set aside rate of two cents per 100 pounds of milk, every dairy farmer has an opportunity to Twin sales and influence people,
 ''The Alaskan chapter of the American Dairy Association is but two years old" Wilson ex- plained, land has been activa- ted on a very small scale. Yet the benefits in the way of sales and promotion aides have been extremely helpful to all in the industry"

Chairman Notes
 Urgency of Need For Ambulance

Extreme need for a new am- bulance in the Matanuska Val ley area was pointed up this week by William Hermann, chairman of the Palmer Volun- teer Firemen's Association am- bulance drive. The present ambulance, the only one serv- ing the Matanuska Susitna area, is worn out and no longer dependable, he said.
 Noting that during the past week contributions have been the poorest thus far in t h e drive, totalling only about $100, Hermann said that numerous pledges remain uncollected, and that if these assurances of help were transposed into cash the total contributions would be within $2,000 of the final goal.
 The chairman added that the response in Palmer and Wasil- la has been very good, but that little has yet been heard from the outlying areas, which e also served by the ambulance. He urged individual contribu- tions, however small, an d group moneymaking projects, such as bake sales and rallies.
 "The accident toll on our highways is no respecter of persons, he said. 'The next victim may be you or one of your loved ones. We are a II concerned with this project"

POETRY CORNER

Where hunters carefully stalk
 the moose Who hide behind the birch and
 spruce. A creek, nearby, holds rain
 bow trout A man waits, lost in quiet
 thought Suddenly. he's got bite This ones giving him a fight The bear wakes up from win
 ter's rest. Hes hungry and will be a pest. Spring has come for just
 while. Winter soon will take her smile. Ducks and geese are back again To tempt the guns of hunting
 men. Over the meadows and lakes
 they fly, Then up to the blue of a sum-
 mer sky, While high on a cliff in maies-
 tic reign An eagle sits with piercing eye. Alaska's sunsets make you feel That they are magic instead of
 real. Her mountains are cold and
 jagged and white She'll give any mountain
 climber a fight. But some have conquered her
 wild ways And fallen in love With her
 golden days!

Williams Urges Action
In the meantime, the Fed

urged savings and loan as
sociations across the Nation
to re-examine dividend rates
and consider reductions to re-
duce the pinch on profits.

Pointing to the softening ir
demand for home mortgage
money, he said associations
have found increasing outlets
for funds in multi-family

said.
He said he testified that one
third Of the real estate issues
bought by Hodgdon customers
were in enterprises promoted
by his firm, but the actual
figure probably is closer to 20
per cent. The estimate that
half the mutual fund shares
sold were in a fund in which
he had an interest also is toe
high. Mr.. Hodgdon said.
Hodgdon statesmen receive nc
higher commissions for sales
of real estate shares promoted
by the firm than for other
sales. he said. Statesmen do re-
ceive bonuses for sales of mu-
tual funds. he said, but the
bonuses are paid on several
funds, not only the fund In
which he has an interest.
2 Area Firms Mentioned
Another Washington firm,
this one now defunct, also was
criticized in the SEC report.
The report said American Di-
versified Securities, headed by

used inexperienced statesmen to
push speculative stocks
through high-pressure tech
niques.
When ADS got into trouble,
the report said, 80 of its sales
men established 20 new firms
of their own. All but two of
these firms have been subjected
to disciplinary action by the
SEC or the National Associa-
tion of Securities Dealers, ac-
cording to the report.
The report also recalled some
Of the SECS recent troubles
with Atlantic Research Corp,
an Alexandra company. The
Investigators said the company
filed a 1861 report with the

Dividend rates Of most
Washington savings and loan
associations will be reduced
after June 80, savings and loan
leaders predicted today.
Most associations here have
been paying AZ per cent a
year on a quarterly basis, but
two-Perpetual Building and
Guardian Federal-have main
tained rates Of 4 per cent.
Rates for the last half Of 1868
are expected to go to per
cent and lower.
Present high dividend rates
have been attracting more
funds than can be absorbed
by mortgage lending. AS a
result, the growing mountain
OF cash that has accumulated
has had to go into low-yeilding
bank deposits and Federal Sc
curttieS.
The ~ associations of the
District Savings and Loan
League held nearly SIT million
in cash on February %, COM
pared with $54.8 million a year
ago. They also had $78.4 mil
lion in relatively low-yielding
Government obligations, COM
pared with $60.3 million a year
earlier.
Drag on Earnings
Many associations have been
in the position Of paying the
4H per cent rate for cash for
which they could get returns
Of only 31a per cent or less.
One association, Home Fed
eral, already has notified its
shareholders that it will pay
the 4H per cent rate through
the second quarter, but may
reduce it after mid-year. Most
Of the large associations also
have indicated privately that
