Savings for Cities in
Territory Are Set
i The following wire was reeeiv
ed by the director of Nome Civ
ilian Defense from Frederick W.
Ayer. Deputy Adminstrator of
the Defense Savings Staff, at
Juneau.
Juneau, May 1, 1942
Revised quotas for the Terri
tory are now set at $350,000 for
May; $420,000 for June; and
$500,000 for July and each month
thereafter. These quotas not only
must be reached but they must
be exceeded if Alaska is to do
its share in supporting the na
tion’s war effort.
For this month, quotas by local
ities are as follows: Fairbanks,
Ketchikan and Anchorage, $50,
000 each; Juneau $47,500; Kodiak
$37,000; Sitka $30,000; Nome
$20,0000; Seward $15,000; Peters
burg $15,000; Palmer, Valdez,

nana and Craig $1,500 each.
| These quotas will be increased in
June and July, after which AJ
1 aska is expected to stick to a
minimum of $500,000 monthly.
“Tihs war is costing $100,000.
000 a day. To pay for arms and
munitions needed by our fight
ing men in all parts of the world,
the people on the home front
! must sacrifice everything which
is not absolutely necessary for
actual living expenses. If some
persons consider a minimum of
ten percent of their income too
much to give up ask them what
they think our soldiers and sail
ors. airmen and marines are sac
rificing daily. By the loyalty and
. actions of our people at home,
' this Nation will stand or fall.

Claude Hirst and Ra’ph i
Mize of Indian Office
Guests at C of C Luncheon
The regular meeting of the
Board of Director of the N. W. A
Chamber of Commerce met Tues
day noon at the North Pole Bak
erg with Past President Leroy
Sullivan presiding. When it be
came known that there were to
be two distinguished guests, a
large number of members at
tended the meeting.
The minutes and correspond
ence were briefly touched upon
by Secretary Polet and any ac
tion as deferred until next meet
ing. The election of officers was
postponed to the next meeting as
well.
Chairman Sullivan introduced
the visitor who were received
with great applause.
On Mr. Ralph Mize being call
ed he explained that the program
of buildings and replacements
will bo naturally curtailed on oc
count of the conditions prevail
ing but he felt if the department
would succeed in carrying out its
program of repairs and maintain
ing the 535 buildings which it
has under its supervision, that
1 will be all that can be expected.
Mr. Claude Hirst, General Su
perintendent for the Alaska Of
fice of Indian Affairs accepted
the invitation to give the Cham
ber the highlights of his observa
tions and inspection of the trip..
In reporting this the writer as
well as the members present
were amazed at the magnitude
; of service rendered by the De
' partment. As conversant as we
should be, comparisons and figur
: es are simply astounding. The
; population share under the De
partment of Indian Affairs is a
: full onc-half or about 33,000.
The number of employees, teach
i ers, doctors is around 650; there
' are 122 schools with an enroll
ment of 6900; the high school
attendance is 365; there are four
industrial and boarding schools.
Another surprising item is that
out of the 650 employees, 270
| are native-born and graduates,
i This gain has been made in the
last 6 years. A large number of
girls and boys arc now avail
i able and are engaged in clerical
work. The Territory of Alaska
has absorbed quite a number in
the last two years.
The Territory of Alaska re
linquished its supervison of 17
schools which are now conduct
ed by the department.
The Medical Service has also
made wonderful progress not
only has improved the health of
the natives but has brought
about the improvement of home
life and the living condtions
, which under the present pro
gram has gone a long way to
make the native self supporting.
Mr. Hirst exressed his hope
! that in the near future, the Terri
torial Government should adopt
a program of closer cooperation
1 in order to coordinate toward
! further development by supple
! menting the work and funds of
the Federal government.
Chairman Sullivan expressed
his appreciation and in the name
i of the Chamber thanked Mr.
' Hirst for his valuable informa
: tion and promised the hearty co
1 operation of the Chamber.
Many members remained after
adjournment to get better ac-t
quainted with Mr. Hirs-t and
availed themselves of the offer
to ask any question they wished
I to ask
