Appropriations fail to act. And such a failure would mean more have been made to” cover until the end of the fiscal year in June and it is anticipated that in view of the President’s desire to make the CCC a permanent or- ganization, and with the enlargement program defin- itely fixed for the Territory, sufficient funds will be made available to carry on year-around work where practical. CCC entrance into the trail and airport building field outside of forest areas means the third definite step taken toward bettering transportation facilities along these lines since the first of the year The Legislature at recent session set aside $400,000 for road, trail and airport work during the ensuing two years and it is safe to assume that this work will be given first consideration when allocation of funds is made from time to time by the Board of Administration which is made up of Alaskans thor- oughly conversant with the needs of the Territory. More recently, allocation of $450,000 was made by the Federal government for the same purpose as the re- sult of persistent effort on the part of Delegate Di- mond, Gov. Troy and other officials to obtain an ex- tensive road and airport prograia for’ fhe north. Thus roads, irails and airports become something more than words in Alaska. They denote concrete progress on the way to development “PLAY l‘\("' THE MARKET years of governmental groping in the dark. | in Pictures History (Cincinnati Enquirer) F‘Imln{..l'\nh» has not only achieved the status of an art, but is more and more a serious method of re- porting the news from day to day. While daily news- papers have increased their use of photographs, maga- zines have been appearing devoted wholly to pictures. They capitalize on the fact that a good picture ca tell many a story more quickly and vividly than words, and in a fashion that demands less of the reader. Now still another experiment in the use of pic- tures has been launched. It is a graphic magazine published quarterly, each issue to be devoted to some one large problem of trend in contemporary history. The first issue deals entirely with the war in Spain By pictures alone, with a bare minimum of explana- tory text, it recounts the grim story of Spain in the old regime, in the republic, and in civil war. Years of history are compressed into a series of photographs The power of words is thus pitted against what might be called the power of pictures. One need not expect either to win a victory, for there is a plenty of om for both. Indeed, the competition between words d pictures is likely to better the technic of using both. Meantime there may be a lesson for the authors of history books in the newest use of photographs. Chil- dren for generations have resisted the study of hi tory, because it was made to involve the memori: of names and dates. Children of tomorrow may find that pictures help, for they stick in the memory after names and dates are forgotten.
