Officials Pledge Wage
Curbs Will be Maintained
With or Without Board
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Adminis
tration officials attempted to
pump new life Tuesday into the
floundering Wage Stabilization
Board (WSB), pledging that wage
curbs will be kept with or with
out a board.
Mobilization Director Henry
Fowler and Economic Stabilizer
Roger Putnam said Monday night
they were hopeful of persuading
a new group of industry members
to take seats on the WSB with
public and labor members.
The industry members quit as
a group last weekend, thereby
preventing the WSB from opera
ting, as a-protest against Presi
dent Truman’s reversal of the
board ruling on a pay raise for
coal miners.

Judge Dimond Will
Step Down From
Bench in March
ANCHORAGE — Anthony J.
Dimond, Third Division district
judge for the past eight years, re
vealed that he plans to return to
private practice here in March.
The judge pointed out that His
four year term ends Feb. 28, and
said he thought it wise, with the
change in administration, to make
other plans for himself.
Republican party leaders are
known to have told the judge they
would support him for another
term, but it seems unlikely that
he would accept it even if offered.
Son Will Join Him
Judge Dimond said that his son,
John, now assistant attorney gen
eral for the territory, will come
to Anchorage and enter practice
with him.
During his eight years’ service
on the bench, the judge has be
come widely known for his hu
manitarian philosphies. Especially
hopeful of reforming the young
criminal, he has given many
words of advice to youths who
were being given just “one more
chance.”
Long-time Resident
The judge has been in the ter
ritory since around 1900,* prospec
ted and mined from 1904 to 1912,
and has 'been in practice of law
since 1913.
His career has included being
Democratic delegate to Congress
from 1933 to 1945. Before that he
was U.S. commissioner at Chisana
in 1913 and special assistant U.S.
attorney at Valdez in 1917.

The meeting of the Women's
Society of Christian Service will

UP SOME MORE,
It’s Used For A Lot Of
Things Besides Sweetnin’
Plain Old Sugar, That Is
Here are some little known
' facts about sugar—the most pro
duced and cheapest organic ma
terial in the world.
Completely pure substances are
not known to chemistry, but of all
common compounds, familiar
sugar is the purest, averaging
over 99.9 per cent pure sucrose.
Sugar is used as a raw material
in more than 87 industries. For
instance: It takes 900 pounds of
sugar to produce the explosives to
fire one round from a modern
battleship’s sixteen-inch gun.
An acre of sugar cane or beet
produces enough calories to sup
ply 2,500 people with their full
quota for a full day.
All vegetables products were at
one time sugar in the leaves of
green plants and is the starting
material for the starch in pota
toes, the cellulose and lignin of
wood, the protien of wheat—even
the aroma of flowers and the
opium of a poppy.
Sugan can be obtained from al
most every green plant; it ac
counts for most of the nutritive
value of common fruits.
Pound for pound, sugar is the
cheapest source of food energy.
The world production of sugar
is about 35 million tons annually
—enough to fill a box the size of
a football field and six miles high.
Winds blow at 1,000 miles an
hour 100 miles above the earth,
but the air is so thin they have
little effect on an object reaching
than height.
