Use ANS Hospital
Mental Ward Asked
For Non-Natives
ANCHORAGE — A letter at
tacking a government policy of
denying psychiatric facilities at
the Anchorage ANS hospital to
non-natives was issued by J. H.
Hutchison, president of the An
chorage Mental Health associa
tion.
The letter was sent to Douglas
McKay, secretary of the interior,
with copies to Delegate Bartlett
and William Olson, area director
of the Alaska Native Service.
“It has come to- our attention
that a policy has been established
by the Alaska Native Service to
deny the use of emergency psy
chiatric facilities available at the
Anchorage ANS hospital to non
natives,” Hutchison wrote to the
secretary of interior.
“We believe that if this policy
were to be maintained it would be
most unfortunate for residents of
the area whose only recourse for
emergency psychiatric service now
is jail detention and commitment
to a stateside institution after trial
by jury.

Some of us have difficulty applying
eye shadow. Fashion models have over
come this problem by using a lipstick
brush — the fine point helps preveni
using too much. Don’t forget to then
blend the color with your finger tip
till it’s barely perceptible.

Last Gold Claim In Historic California
Mining Town Will Yield About $10,000
COLUMBIA. Calif., UP) — The
last gold claim in this historic
California placer mining center
will probably produce not more
than $10,000, the Wells Fargo
Bank & Union Trust Co. reported
Wednesday.
But, even at $10,000 the claim
was hailed as “the biggest strike
in the area in 50 years.” The fab
ulous placer area which yielded
60 million dollars and gave Col
umbia the name of being the
richest square mile of placer
ground in the world was worked
out more than half a century ago.
Attention to the new gold work
ing was drawn in connection with
the 102nd anniversary of the
founding of Wells Fargo Bank in
San Francisco and the restoration
of the 96-year-old Wells Fargo'
building here.
Columbia, once a roistering Tuo
lumne County gold town of 15,000,
now is a state park and has been
restored as a monument of the
gold rush days. When the camp
was worked out, the only two
pieces of ground which had not
been worked over by the placer
miners were the sites of the Wells
Fargo Bank and of St. Anne’s
Catholic Church.
In restoring the town, the Divi
sion of Parks and Beaches discov
ered that a new foundation would
have to be put under the Wells
Fargo building.
Because the ground beneath the
little bank had not been sluiced
it was saved in a single pile when
it was excavated. Now that the re
storation is complete, the dirt has
been turned over to the Division
of Mines to reclaim. About half
the pile has been worked and
$5,000 in gold recovered.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Once again we are at that im
portant time of the year when
there is a change of seasons thru
out the world. March 20 is herald
ed by the Vernal Equinox or
First of Aries. The sun is then
just above the equator and its
rays reach to both poles of the
earth.
The word equinox signifies
equality of day and night. The
sun .rises dues east and sets due
west. It is 12 hours above the
horizon, making the day, and 12
hours below the horizon, making
the night.
The sun now enters the first
sign of the zodiac, called Aries,
and it is the beginning of spring.
In ancient times it was the begin
ning of a new year and is evi
denced today by the names of the
first four last months of the year.
September, October, November,
and December are Latin words
meaning seventh, eighth, ninth
and tenth months from the ancient
first month of the year which
was March.
We are now having some equi
noxial storms. Although this fact
probably has no bearing on the
equinox, today, March 19th, is the
day the swallows return to Capi
strano.
Since World War II, France has
rebuilt 5,000 bridges, destroyed in
the conflict, but has 2,550 to go
before all replacements are made.
