The Payroll Savings Plan
helped me save over $6,000!
/ru//a worn:
for yea. too /
I~Iow often have you said, "Sure, I’d love
to save. But on my pay, I can’t.”
Don’t give up! If Frank Squires could start
on a furniture hiker’s pay, and save up
wards of $6,000—you can, too!
Mr. Squids retired last month after a life
time in the trucking and shipping depart
ment of The Kroehler Mfg. Co., world’s
largest furniture manufacturers.
The answer is the one that worked for
him. Investing in Savings Bonds through
the systematic Payroll Savings Plan!
The Plan really works —
because it saves for you!
Just go to your company’s pay office and
sign a Payroll Savings application. Then
your saving is automatically done for
you —before you even draw your pay. It
is invested in interest-earning U. S. Series
E Savings Bonds, in your name, and the
Bonds are turned over to you.
Saving only $3.75 a week can
bring you $5,153.72!
If you sign up to save only $3.75 a week,
in 5 years you’ll have $1,025.95 —in 9
years 8 months you’ll have $2,137.30.
And in 19 years 8 months, $5,153.72! All
in Bonds that go on earning more! Just -
an example of how savings pile up—on
the systematic Payroll Savings Plan!
Start on the realistic road to financial
independence — now!
More than 8 million working men and
women are saving successfully on Payroll
Savings. For your family’s sake, and your
own, how about joining today? If you’re
self-employed, join the Bond-A-Montb
Plan where you bank.

Ask Replacement of
Land Commissioner
(Continued from Page 1)
gently took no steps to bring pro
visions of the law to the attention
of the public prior to the delin
quent date, last Dec. 31.”
The committee also criticized
the administration of the Employ
ment Security Commission and
asked Heintzleman to correct al
leged deficiencies.
Two specific complaints were
lodged against the commission in
its administration of Alaska’s em
ployment security law. The com
mittee charged:
1. There have been unnecessary
delays, seven weeks and more in
some cases, in auditing and ap
proval of original unemployment
insurance claims payments.
2. A number of letters are writ
ten to claimants before actual de
termination is made whether the
claimant is entitled, under the
law, for unemployment insurance.
The committee said all questions
involved should be taken care of
in the initial letter.
The committee said that under
the guise of protecting the unem
ployment fund, the commission is,
under its present methods, actual
ly nullifying the benefits of the
law, “which is to protect the econ
omy of the territory.”
“The law is designed to allevi
ate the pangs of unemployment,
which is fast becoming a problem
not only in the territory but
throughout the nation.”
Little Old Sand Fleas
Pitting Windshields Is
Biological Theory
CENTRALIA, Wash., UP—Pitted
windshields a mystery?
Not to Jack Scherer, they are
n’t. The manager of a home im
provement company here ex
pounds this biological (as con
trasted with scientic) theory:
Glass for windshields is made
from silica. Silica sand abounds
on western Washington beaches.
Sand fleas abound in the sand.
“What actually has happened,”
Scherer says, “Is that in screen
ing the sand for the windshield
glass, sand fleas also were gath- !
ered. The eggs remained in the
glass and, with the approach of
warm weather, the windshields
warmed up, the eggs hatched and
the fleas have to chip the glass
to get out.” ^
What are considered the typical
castles of Europe derive much of
their architecture from Byzantine
structures which were studied by
Crusaders.
Barrow Eskimos No Like
Big White Chief Plan
To Cut Alaska in Two
FAIRBANKS, IS’)—Eskimos' no
like proposal of Alaska’s big white
chief to cut Alaska in two. They
chew much whale blubber over
idea but no like it.
(Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman re
cently proposed that Alaska be
split and only the more populated
half be admitted to statehood. The
Eskimo country would be omit
ted.)
The following reaction was re
ported by the Fairbanks Daily
News-Miner's Eskimo correspon
dent at Point Barrow, in a de
layed dispatch:
“Today more than half the in
habitants here discuss over the
Alaska being splitted.
“We said, its just losing a
brother or sister. It can’t be dif
ference, that is if they split the
Alaska.
“We are sure to see the Alaska
where we live on, could become
one of the statehood. Some said
if it does become one of the state
hood, people . . . sure will give
them a chance to earn money.
“This morning the temperature
was 6 above, at noon 6 above.
Middle of the night it went down
to 4 below.”
