All Kinds of Help for Cleanup
Fairbanksans bent on putting
their premises in sanitary and at
tractive condition in connection
with the present cleanup, fixup
and paintup campaign will need
a lot of help to do the job prop
erly.
And in this connection it
should not be forgotten that they
can get alL kinds of help by sim
ply applying in person or tele
phoning the Territorial Employ
ment Office or the Alaska Min
ing Exchan,ge.
Hundreds of deserving men
and women are registered with
the two offices. Skilled artisans
of every trade, common laborers,
specialists in every line—garden
ers, housekeepers, husky or han
dy workers. Many of them are
much in need of the price of a
meal—and it will be a fine way
to contribute to their need by
giving them something to do and
at the same time obtaining the
service that will put the city in
a sanitary' condition and improve
its attractiveness — and gain a
.greater measure of fire protec
tion and add^d values of proper
ties.
The Territorial Employment
Office is an institution that serv
es well the eoBOTnunity and the
entire district. The Mining Ex
change also serves a splendid
purpose. Employers as well as
city dwellers will do well to ac
cord them recognition. If you
need help, don’t fojrget tcfl call.
They are at your instSht service-'

Promoting Alaska
Washington Axis
A new light fraught with much
promise for mutual advancement
of the interest of Alaska and the
State of Washington comes over
the horizon in the creation of the
“Alaska Committee” bv the Wash
■ingtonians, Incorporated, a state
wide organization.
The announced purpose of the
new committee is: “To bring a
closer relationship between Al-,
aska and the State of Washing
ton.” Tom Drummey is president
of the Washngtonians. Herbert;
Hilscher, nationally known writ
er and traveler is chairman of.
the Alaska Committee. In nam
ing Mr. Hilscher t-o his new posi!
tion. President Drummey ex- j
pressed views which long have
been uppermost in the minds of
leading Alaskans, and which they
will be glad to see voiced in the
states which enjoys the major
trade advantages and long has
been the chief outside benfieiary
of Alaska's prosperity. He said:
“We have felt for a long time
that we of the State of Washing
ton have failed to understand
the great importance of our ec
onomic and commercial ties with
Alaska. It will be the duty of
our Alaska Committee to pro
mote a closer relationship be
tween citizens of Alaska and
those of Washington.
“We will contact Alaskans,
through our Committee, invite
them to our meetings and gener
ally make them aware that we
are definitely interested in Alaska.
We know that tourist travel to
Alaska from the States is of im
portance to Alaskans, and will
therefore take every opportun
ity to foster this business. We
also know that itinerant labor
should be discouraged from go
ing to Alaska and we will do all
we can in this regard.”
Alaskans long have felt the
need of some sympathetic organ
ization in the Pacific Northwest
which will cooperate to the full
est degree in getting just what
President Drummey outlines.
The chambers of commerce of
Seattle, Tacoma and other Pac
ific coast points have worked
along similar lines, but still there
‘has been a large percentage of
the people of the Pacific North
west and the Pacific states who
have not appreciated what Alas
ka means to them and how es
sential it is that they should
strive to sell Alaska to the world
and promote her every need —
many who have failed to realize
that the greater measure of pros
perity enjoyed by Alaska means
a greater measure of prosperity
to the states and cities of the
Pacific seaboard.
The Fairbanks and other cham
bers of commerce will do well to
extend the hand of welcome to
the new Alaska Committee and
to cooperate with them in every
possible way.
The new Alaska Committee
can do a lot through its commer
cial contacts and its western con
gressional delegations and other
influential bodies to get what it
wants and what Alaska wants.

IT TOOK ‘PULL’ to get Nancy Forbush, 14, into tlic White
House, but the pull is a part of her profession: she’s a puppet show
producer from Cleveland and was invited by Mrs. Eleanor Roose
velt to perform at the Easter Monday party. This would be her
second performa.nce at the White House. A gift of puppets four
years ago awakened her interest in marionettes.
More power to the movement—
and may the chambers of com
merce and all other live bodies
of Alaska find here a new way
to promote a lasting and effective
Alaska—.Washington axis that
will prove a boundless boon to
all concerned.
