This amendment, sponsored by Delegate Dimond, eliminates Indians from the provision of the CCC act that none serve a longer time in the CCC than four “six-month” enrollment periods. The amendment is highly import- ant to the Alaska Indians and to the Territory at large. It affords the chance of continued employment of Indians during the long winter sea- son when other forms of gainful work for this part of the population are almost entirelv lacking. Also, the work of the Alaskan Indians in the CCC is gely directed toward bet- | terment of the living conditions 2. They will | arcund the local native villages.

Every- body was huddled down below decks with life preservers, but we weren't hit.
