CA TO TEST NEW TYPE TENT
The Experimental Board at Ft
Richardson recently received
from the Seattle Tent and Awn
.ng Company its newest “experi
mental tent” which will be test
ed shortly by members of the
AC unit at Ft. Richardson. This
new tent, known as a semi-pyra
midal," is expected to fill a long
feit need here in Alaska, where
in order to secure mobility, yen
have to get away from bulk.
The tent can accomodate 1C
men with a Sibley stove quite
comfortably. It’s new design not
only eliminates the bulk, num
ber of necessary pins and weight
cf the old pyramidal, but will,
it is believed, be easier to keep
warm a prime requisite in cold
climates. It is constructed of a
new processed “dry waterproof’
material known as shelter tent
material.
The newest addition weighs
only 54 pounds, uses one upright
and no ridge poles, takes only 22
tent pins to erect as compared to
the 56 pins the old pyramidal
takes.
It is 14 feet by 13 feet and 10
feet high in front, and slopes to
the rear where it is 4 feet high.
It has 2-foot side walls and a
u aterproofed floor, which may
be snapped into position as re
quired.
SALE OF BOATS TO
ALIENS KIT BY NEW ORDER
The Juneau Customs office
started issuing warnings to boat
builders, notifying them of a
new provision under the declar
ed national emergency which for
bids them alowing any non-citi
zen to buy. lease or take a fin
ancial interest in any ship under
U. S. registry, or building any
boat for an alien, without first
obtaining approval from the U.
S. Maritime Commission.
The new law comes as an
amendment to Section 37 of the
Shipping Act of 1916. As a part
of President Roosevelt’s declar
ed state of national emergency,
it is aimed at prevention of any
alien group getting any hold on
American shipping facilities or
securing boats now under U. S.
registry.

NATIONAL DEFENSE EXPAN
SION PLANS TOLD BY RETTIE
If national defense plans pro
gress as planned and the present
state of national emergency lasts
that long, in 1944 there will be
approximately 23,500,000 civil-!
ians working in defense indus-l
try, about 3,500,000 in military!
service and the national annual
income will amount to $ 105.000,-1
000.000.
Such were the figures on na-1
tional defense expansion paraded'
by J. C. Rettie acting counsellor
of the National Resources Plan
ning Board, before the luncheon
meeting recently in Juneau of
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees.
With these figures in mind and
the knowledge that when the de-j
fense emergency passes therel
will be a great let-down in em
ployment, national planning |
boards are already at work on
solving the problem of keeping!
these millions of defense work-i
ers employed at the end of thej
defense pogram, Rettie pointed
out.
Legislation is now pending,
Rettie told the Juneau federal
employees, which will give Presi
dent Roosevelt a fund to finance
surveys of work projects which
may be started at the end of
the defense era.
Dr. George Dale, of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, also addressed
the luncheon meeting, reviewing
the automatic promotion pro
gram bill for federal employees
which has recently passed both
houses of Congress. It will sub
stitute a promotion policy based
upon efficiency records for the
present haphazard method of pro
moting Uncle Sam’s workmen he
declared.
