A letter from John K. Hard
castle, director of education at
Seward Sanitarium, says in part:
“At present about 70 patients
and rehab clients are taking
schooling in arithmetic and the
language arts. About 30 of the
adult students go to classroom
during their up-time and the rest
receive tutoring at their bedsides.
"In addition, 20 children are
taking elementary school subjects
under teachers furnished by the!
Territorial Department of Educa- ;
tion.”

Notes From the Rehab Center
“Henry Saccheus is busy as ever
and who knows what he will do
next. Besides doing office work I
he teases every one he sees.
“Mr. Woody Mahurin is having
classes every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at the Rehab. This is
for retail and merchandise. He’s
doing a fine job as a teacher be- i
sides working with us.
“Among those attending his |
classes is Margaret Moses.
“At the Service Station bright
and early you’ll see Harold Ptar
migan opening up for a whole
day’s work. Jack Okitkun is real
good at this sort of job. Leo Kun
nuk was at this service a long
time. He instructed these young
boys so well. (He is home now.)
“Susie Koonalook and I (Eliza
beth Walunga) are training to be
dressmakers. We like our work.
We each have a portable automat
ic Neechi sewing machine, a steam
iron, a dress form and other sew
ing equipment which we’ll have
for our own if we complete the
training. We do sewing from put
ting strings on aprons to making
expensive looking formals.
"When you step in the Photo
Shop you’ll see May Titus sewing
skins, mukluks, jackets, slippers,
parkas and other things. On the
shelves there are Eskimo dolls,
ivory carvings, hand-made doilies
and Alaskan postcards. Ruth Sie
lak has started sewing in there
with Auntie May.
“'Miss Case is teaching the fol
lowing typing class: Susie Koona
look, Emma Outwater, Margaret
Moses, Wilma Phillips, Emily
Monroe and Jonas Ramoth.

FISHERMEN NEED
BOTH TERRITORIAL
AND FEDERAL STAMPS
Fishermen need both a territor
ial fishing stamp and a federal
fishing and hunting license, Wal
lace Fitzgerald, fisheries inspector
for the Alaska Department of
Fisheries, warned last week.
Punishment for not having both
is up to $100 fine for the first of
fense and a year in jail or both.
Deputies have been instructed
to make checks for the purpose of
advising fishermen that this terri
torial fishing stamp is required by
law and failure to have this stamp
in possession * while fishing will
result in prosecution.
Wesley I. Gilman, territorial
police captain, said that his de
partment would enforce the fish
ing stamp law.
In Nome, the federal license is>
available at the U.S. commission
er’s office at the Federal Building;
the territorial license may be had
at the Territorial Tax Office.
Licenses are valid from July 1
of one year to June 31st of the
next.

"Frans-Polar Route
SAN FRANCISCO, UP>—United
Airlines Monday asked the Civil
Aeronautics Board to eliminate
Seattle and Portland from the
proposed applications of Pan Am
erican World Airways and Trans
World Airways to fly the polar
route from the West Coast to
Europe.
The two airlines have proposed
the two northwest cities and San
Francisco and Los Angeles would
be co-terminals on flights origin
ating on different days during the
week.
Andrew M. De Vourisney, UAL
treasurer, testified at the final day
of the CAB hearing on the appli
cations, that his company had no
I objections to the applications in
sofar as California is concerned.
But he said he did not consider
the air traffic developed in Seat
tle and Portland sufficient to jus
tify adding the competition of the
polar route to the established ser
vice.
Also testifying at the final ses- j
sion of the week-long hearing, G. j
Bernard Slebos, director of econ
omic planning for Pan American,
told the CAB that opening of the
polar route made imperative that
American flag lines serving the
West Coast fly that route.
Pan American, he said, would
lose $3,000,000 a year if it is
forced to fly the Atlantic without
using the polar route.
CAB Examiner William J. Mad- j
den said at the end of the hearing
that the airlines would have until j
July 16 to file additional briefs
and a decision in the case would
not be expected before late sum
mer or early fall.
KETCHIKAN—Members of the
Territorial Legislative Council be
gan their quarterly meeting May
23 in the city’s council chambers.
The council is an eight-member
committee of Alaska legislators
which meets periodically between
legislative sessions to study prob
lems of a legislative nature which
are expected to come before the
legislature in its biannual sessions.
Richard J. Gruel of Fairbanks,
chairman of the council, had pre
viously announced that the coun
cil, at its Ketchikan meeting
would continue studies relating to
election laws, liquor legislation,
local government problems and
consider requests for legislation
which have been presented since
the last meeting of the council.
In addition to Chairman Greuel,
members of the council are Sens.
James Nolan of Wrangell, vice
chairman; Ralph J. Rivers of Fair
banks; Charles D. Jones of Nome;
Earl Cooper of Anchorage; and
Reps. Burke Riley of Haines, Wen
dell Kay of Anchorage, and Edith
Bullock of Kotzebue. J. F. McKay
of Juneau, who is employed as
director of the council, accompan
ied the council here.
A major item on the agenda was
a study of districting and appor
tionment for election of repre
sentatives to the territorial House
under the outline of the constitu
tion for the State of Alaska. Other
important items were a study of
the liquor licensing inadequacies
in the territory presently and
studies of local government prob
lems, flood control districts and
personnel administration.
Liquor Licenses
The Council is contemplating
recommending that the territorial
lax department be named as the
• agency for issuing liquor licenses
! and collecting the license fees.
Greuel said Friday the council
has asked that a rough draft of a
bill covering liquor licensing and
including this provision be drawn
up and submitted to the council at
a future meeting. He said that be
cause of the restrictions of the
Organic Act it is contemplated the
liquor licensing commission estab
lished by legislative act in 1933
would remain as the body to de
termine whether liquor licenses
should be issued to individual ap
plicants.
McKay Resigns
However, the council will make
no final recommendations until it
has viewed the bill in rough draft
at a later meeting.
The council wound up its meet
| ing Friday. Because of the an
nounced resignation Thursday of
the council’s executive director,
Greuel said another meeting of
, the council will be held before
Director McKay’s departure which
will be no later than Aug. 1.
The council turned to mechani
cal matters Friday by asking the
directors to secure cost figures on
a “xerograph,” which would re
produce by photographic process
bills before the legislature.
Xerograph io Save Money
Greuel said the machine would
eliminate many legislative em
ployes. McKay said the elimina
tion would mean a 60 to 70 per
cent reduction in the cost of legis
lative personnel, amounting to be
tween $5,000 and $15,000.
The largest shadow man can see
is that of the earth reflected on
the moon during an eclipse.
