Composed of seven members, the appointment of the advisory coun- ¢il was called for in the Unemploy- ment Commission law as passed by the Legislature. It is made up of two members represehting em- ployees, two members representing employers and three members rep- resenting the public. Named employee members of the new council are John Covich, of Juneau, and A. R. Hansen, of Petersburg. Representing employ- | ers on the council will be Al Ander- son, of PFairbanks, and Henry J. Emard, of Anchorage. Represent- ing the ptiblic will be Mrs. Emil Krause, of Juneau; Elwyn Sweat- man, of Seward; and L. W. Kil- burn, of Douglas. Acording to the law setting up the council, the advisory body may boldt annual meetings each year to make recommendations to the Unemployment Compensation Com- ission. They ay also act in an advisory capacity concerning sub- jects of unemployment compensa- tion which will be réferred to them by the commissioners.

Compensafion Act Benefits Spread North Employers in Fairbanks and An- | chorage generally are cooperating with the Territorial Labor Com- mission in complying with the Workmen’s Compensation Act, Steve McCutcheon, chief clerk of the commission, reported today after an inspection trip to the two cities. “A few vroved reluctant to comply with the law,” McCulcheon said, |"but when it was pointed out that | they might be held liable for as | much as $9,000 in the case of serious injury to one of their t\mplnvmn\‘ | they realized the protection the | |act affords.” | Ignorance of the law rather than | | | | | | drop SPUD TALK AT CHAMBER IS FEATURE Anchorage-l‘;hn Tells of City Development Since Defense Program Spuds were the subject of con- | versation this noon at the lunch- leon meeting of the Chamber of| Commerce in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room. The potato talk started when a local farmer sent two hills of spuds to the Baranof chef to be served to chamber members. It was found that the spud rations were short |of going around. Then the chamber's guests, Ter- ritorial Unemployment Compensa- tion Commissioners Robert Bra- gaw, of Anchorage, and Dr. Noble Dick, of Fairbanks, took up the spud subject. “From the Tanana and Mata- nuska valleys, we can send plenty of potatoes to feed the chamber,” Bragaw declared. “Next time we're coming to Juneau we'll put a hill of our potatoes in the plane as a treat for you fellows.” Like to See Analysis “We grow mighty big potatoes around Fairbanks,” Dr. Dick added. “Sometime I'd like to see an an- alysis made of the comparative food values in our big spudsgrown in our short season, as against the food value of the potatoes from Outside which take so much longer to mature. We might find that our large potatoes are more nutritious and it would be a fine talking point to push the sale of Alaska grown spuds.” A feature of the meeting was the report of A. B, Phillips on inves- tigation of a chamber committee into the advisability of starting a Juneau Community Chest campaiga | to raise funds for local charitable institutions, After considering the number of organizations which would have to be taken care of| in separate drives it was voted (o] the .matter, so far as the chamber is concerned.

B. Phillips. The courses offered will be given only if 10 or more apply for them. They will be given at 2 hour ses- slons twice a week and will last for ten weeks. Each course costs $10.

The defense program has aided greatly in de- velopment of a good market for Matanuska Vdlley farm products but that some of the farmers, at-| tracted by high pay for defense work around Anchorage, are com- muting to the defense qktz and their farms are not being kept up as a result. Anchorage is away behind on building material deliveries, due to the demand for defense work, Bra- gaw said, and people who would prefer to build good houses have been forced to put up shacks for living quarters. ¥ Referring to traffic, Bragaw said he recently sat on his front porch and watched a continuous stream of cars bearing workmen coming off shift from defense base work parade past for 35 minutes, and then he did not see the end of the line. He said that last week a corps of umi- formed traffic officers were placed on downtown Anchorage streets to prevent traffic jams and allow pedestrians a chance to cress. ———— BUY DEFENSE STAMPS —————— BUY DEFENSE SONDS WALLO = DEESTRICK O COLMMEN 2 THS 1S MARD BIRD S - BALS O FREY ANHRT'S TURT UM HERRW' 2 L TelL N NWWRT,SNIFFY (& MOWD GET N TouCH| W THE PRESIDENT A \NRSHINGTON — ANEREN WE COWLD DO SONMETAANG QBONT BV NG (T STOPPED payrell is accounted for by the Al- | The past fishing season was good | British Fighters Missing .-Stuttgart Is Bombed LONDON, Oct. 2 — British fighters shot down six German planes in a series of “offensive op- Northern France” the Air Ministry announced today.
