Philli_;)?Announces Number of Improve- ments to Buildings 2 September will be the open- ing date for Juneau Public Schools, according to Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips. Pupils are | to meet at 10 am. on that date. The opening will be preceded by two teachers’ meetings, one Mon- day night at 8 o'clock and the other Tuesday morning at 8 o'- clock. Details of these meetings will be announced later. Supt. Phillips says there are a numker of new improvements | around the schools, and a number of new teachers will be present for the opening day. Among the im- provements” are the new retaining wall on the grounds of the Grade School, and the resulting better- ment of playing space. Four rooms in the Grade School have been completely rebuilt, and | one more will be finished by the time it is needed. Eight rooms have been calsomined and redecorated | there, and eight rooms in the High School have also been redecorated Teachers’ rest rooms have been completely re-equipped. In the gymnasium of the ngn School, new lines have been paint- | ed for athletic activities, and the floor will soon be varnished. There vull be a new overpass and unde:- pass at the rear of the High Scheol gym, the 6th Street entrance, so that both exits may be utilized There will also be new light fix-} tures in the gym and in the man- ual training shop. Another improvement is the in- stallation of a girls’ lavatory in the| dindergarten room. Besides ‘these, says Bupt. Phil- iips, theére has been much painting and general repair work in the buildings and on the grounds.

East Indlan welght | KEY INDUSTRIAL AREAS OF SOVIET FAR FROM NALZIS Alaska Mining Man Tells of Russian Muni- tions Cenfers Nazi forces thrusting spearheads into Soviet Russia are not yet with- in striking distance of the huge | industrial plants, steel mills and| munition making centers of the USSR, J. D. Littlepage, mana- ger of the Chichagoff Mine, told The Empire today, as he stopped off in Juneau on a business trip. Littlepage was a mining opera- tor in the Soviet for 10 years and is familiar with the country over which much of the fighting is now reported. He is the authOr of “Rus- sian Gold,” one of the outstanding| books on Soviet mining properties. “So far,” Littlepage stBLEd, “country where ,the fighting s | going forward is of no industrial importance, so far as supplying the | Russian fighting forces are con- cerned.” Iron Mines Safe The important iron mines ')f | Krivoi-rog are 150 miles southeast‘ of Kiev, Littlepage pointed out, and the aluminum production center of | Dneiper-Petrovsk, where federal al- loy plants are located, are 200 miles | from Kiev in the same direction.| Likewise, the steel plants of Kursk and the tractor factories of Khar- kov are beyond reach of the Hit- ler armies, unless a strong offen- slve is launched and Red armies thrown back before wirlter sets in Where fighting is now taking place, the area is an agricultural belt, Littlefield said. In the win- ter, the mercury sinks to 40 below in this region, he said. The only improved highway to Moscow along the line of German advances is the Minsk-Smolensk highway, being held by the Red forces, according to Russian reports. Other roads, as winter settles down, will be impas- sable for most motor vehicles, Lit- tlefield believes, although he said tank corps could progress along other routes. Ural Plants People generally do not realize the fast indusrtial developments in the Ural mountain regions, Little- field believes, Over in western Si- beria, far from the Nazi forces, he said, there are huge plants. Muni- |tions works at Sverdlovsk and a | caterpillar tractor plant and alloy steel mills at Chelyabinsk are able to keep turning out war materidis for the Soviet fighting forces with- Nazis, he said. From these Ural mountain re- gions, three good railroad lines run to Moscow, Littlepage stated. — B e GASBOAT FANNY REPORTED LOST Reported to the Customs office here today was the loss of the gas- 31-A-478, the morning of July 2 in Kvichak River, Bristol Bay.
