_
After December 31 there will

tional Youth Administration in
\ia;ka, according to a telegram
eceived No vent b r 27 by Gover
:or Ernest Gruening from Au
drey Williams, administrator of
he NYA in Washington. D. C.
Williams said no funds were
available for the expansion of
the program as originally plan

I which began in Alaska last year
was for the purpose of provid

j Alaska provides employment
' for youth on production, con
struction, professional and cler

65 young people being trained in
office procedure, reduction, la

OPM Okays Roof Garden
The Roof Garden Committee
is pleased to announce that it has
just received a priority rating
of “A”-l from the O. P. M. This
means of course that the Roof
Garden has priority over all
other social functions for the bal
ance of the year 1941. This is
good news and the committee is
taking advantage of it, to the
end that no expense is being
spared to make the affair a suc
cess.
Tolbert Scott says the demand
for tickets is so great that he is
kept buy supplying those selling
them.
The girls at the switch-board
in the Te'cphone Office wish the
Roof Garden W3s over, they are
having so many inquiries about
it, even over long distance
phones.
Really, the whole town is talk
ing about it_ and that is not all, (
the airplane companies have ar-!
ranged special trips to accomo
date those from outlying local
ities.
Art Martin knows something
of interest relative to certain
talent expected to arrive for the
occasion. But when interviewed,
Art with his usual reticence, was
non-committal, saying “I just
work for PAA."

be maintained. The streets will
be made, and kept passable, and
all trails will lead to the High
School Gymnasium, where the
big event will take place. The

your friends Join in the fun. NO
CARES. NO WORRIES. NO
JAPS.
