them for this.

Assembly of God Church for Girl

us a story using the flannel graph.
On Monday, Jeanette Minix at

Bartlett Will Ask Congress to Extend
APW Program 5 Years with Authority
To Spend An Additional $30 Million
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, OR — Delegate
Bartlett said Thursday he plans
to introduce within the next few
days a bill to extend the life and
financing of the Alaska Public
Works program.
He said the bill would provide
a five-year extension to the act,
now scheduled to expire on June
30, 1959, plus authority for 30
million dollars in additional ap
propriations.
Congress has authorized 70 mil
lion dollars in appropriations un
der the existing 10-year program
but so far has actually appropri
ated only about 65 millions. An
additional four million dollar ap
propriation, for the year begin
ning July 1, has been approved
by the House but still is pending
in the Senate.
_
Bartlett said he has held off
introducing such a proposal, .de
spite requests of the League of
Alaskan Cities and individual
communities, in hopes a proposal
would be made by the Depart
ment of the Interior.
While the department has not
yet reached a decision, he said
he was introducing-the bill “pri
marily because Alaska, as well as
other parts of the country, is
faced with a rather serious un-'
employment problem.”
Prospects for summer construc
tion, both in the military and civ
ilian fields,' “are not nearly so
good as in years past,” he said.
Bartlett said he believed the
APW program, which has a back
log of 15 to 20 million dollars in
projects tentatively approved,
would be a logical instrument
with which to combat unemploy
ment.
He said he was hopeful the de
partment—“in view of the gen
eral situation” — would make a
prompt and favorable report on
his bill and that it could become
law in time to make supplemental
appropriations available for the
forthcoming construction season.
Bartlett said he also hopes the
administration will seek appro
priation of the approximately $1,
300,000 still unappropriated or
unrequested in the existing pro- i
gram’s $70 million authorization, j

Alberta Bids for Highway
Route To Alaska
From United States
EDMONTON, Alta., UP) — The
Alaska International Rail and
Highway Commission, studying
the need for new . rail and road
links between Alaska and the
United States, will hold a sub
committee hearing in Alberta, the
Edmonton Chamber of Commerce
said yesterday. The date was not
announced.
The Commission originally was
to hold hearings only in British
Columbia to consider routes thru
the west coast province.
Alberta Highways Minister
Gordon Taylor presented a brief
to the commission in Washington
Feb. 4 which said Alberta pro
vided the “most logical” location
for additional traffic and com
munication links between the
U.S. and Alaska.
Taylor said the U.S. is “run
ning out of areas for development
and therefore will have to turn
to Alaska . . . and they must pro
vide faster transportation.”
Sailor Too Dirty To Take Shower
IPSWICH, England, UP)—A man
who was told he was too dirty to
have a shower at the municipal
bath house, won a letter of apol
ogy from the town clerk.
Brian Jennings, 22-year-old
mate on a coastal barge, said the
attendants turned him away
when he sought to wash off the
grime of a voyage from London.
Town Clerk J. C. Nelson wrote
the attendants had been repri
manded and that Upswich “ear
nestly hopes to receive your pat
ronage” the next time Jennings
arrives in town dirty.
