'FHEDAH:Y ALASKA EMPIRE; TUI:SDAY JAN 22,1935 WE-UNS JES' GOT TER FIND MIST' GOOGLE~-- I'M DING NIGH WERRIED TER DEATH CWA IS GIVEN PROPER CREDIT FOR ACTIVITIES The benefits of the Civil Works Administration activities were ex-| tended to Alaska and made ef-| fective December 8, 1933, and were | continued until April 26, 1934, says | Gov. John W. Troy in his annual | report. The Governor of Alaska was ap- peinted Administrator of Civil) Works for Alaska with the Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Com- mission as Deputy Administrator. All of the engineering and super- visory work in connection with Al- aska projects were carried on by the Alaska Road Commission with the exception of programs author- ized direct from Washington for the Office of Indian Affairs, the Bureau of Fisheries, and the Al- aska Game Commission The following men were employ- ed: 2144 in December 1933; 3326 in January 1935; 3,242 in February 1935; 2,614 in March 1935, and 1. 004 in April 1934. There was ex- pended a total of $526,513.03. Less than 10 per cent of which was ex- pended for materials and slightly over 1 per cent for administrative expenses. The Civil Works Administration of Alaska was confronted with se- rious difficulties in finding work projects that could be carried out during the severe winter months. However, with little loss of time most of the plans were carried to completion and were of a perma- nent good to the cities and towns of Alaska. The various localitivs contributed a large percentage of the cost of material used in projects of the following nature: Floed control, street repairs, repairs to community buildings, schoolhouses in incorpor- ated towns, reducing street grades in towns, improvement to school grounds, sewer and cemetery im- provements, new bridges in incor- porated towns, repairs to muni- cipally owned docks betterment of DAN'L HEV GOT A DY, LUCY-BELLE SARY--T JOVCE ML MURRAY T know of no more healthful ex- ercise than dancing.

The Bureau of Fisheries carried on a salmon stream clearing plan in the creeks of Southeast Alaska. The Alaska Game Commission em- ployed a number of men in trans- ferring and restocking barren sec- tions with mbm' deer, and mar- ives only, did a hxgc amount of repairing to Indian hos- pitals and schox bettering play- ground facilities, and streets in the vicinity of native villages. The value of the relief afforded by the CWA projects in Alaska was inestimable and provided hous- ing, food, and clothing for a large number of persons who would have been otherwise in distress.

Cold weather prevails now. B as Mrs. Williams points out, the for spring and summer. Of course, actual planting in the ground is not scheduled for many, come before that happens. How- ever, many Juneauites will start their plants, again this year as before, in “flats” indoors. Many plants, it is pointed out, may be started in indoor boxes and then transplanted to the outdoors when spring really puts in an appear- ance.

Warmer weather must | | these cold, cold January days, Williams was asked? Do Juneau folks still think of flowers with an icy covering of snow on the ground? “Certainly, they do,” was the re- ply. “Especially with the coming of the Legislators for their meet- ing here, we are doing a good busi- ness. Legislators, as well as every- one else, know you can ‘say it with flowers.’ “Juneau socialites also are tak- ing a stronger interest in corsages. Every Masonic formal dance finds more ored by their escorts with flowers.” J. P.
