Hardly any fish at all is the report sent in by the seiners. But salmon can be seen jumping in large numbers outside and it seems only a question of time until they come to inside waters and then there will be plenty of activity all around.

For example, the CCC has been doing| the following: { 1. Building the health, strength | |and stamina of young men of the JTclmm\, | | | 2. Teaching them the meaning | |and purpose of discipline while liv- |ing and working in groups by | themselves; | | 3.

Using its man power on every type of emergency that came along, such floods, fires and rescue work 5. Giving inexperienced young men such training as has enabled hundreds of them to obtain good positions in private employment. The work projects offer the most tangible results of the CCC in Alas- ka. During the past year, work projects concentrated upon were {of the type which contributed di- Irectly to the war effort, such as the construction of Army airfield, the development of strategic roads, trails and community gardens, and the providing of several camps for the armed forces.

Great strides have been imade in the improvement of sani- tation and living facilities in the | Eskimo and Indian villages through the development of water systems, drainage ditches, sewage disposal systems, hydro-electric plants, model homes and street improve- ments.

T ADS wwawy ELECTRIC WASHERS | bency, Pennsylvapnia as party whip prove: His appointment makes him the No. 3 party man in the House, rating only below Speaker Rayburn and Majority Leader Mac- Cormack, and will put him in line eventually for a shot at the speak- ership. Proof of the confidence of his party colleagues is found also in (his appointment on the heels of the miscalled “pensions” bill furore. Ramspeck was the author of the original bill and as such it was about as harmless a security mea- ure as ever put in its appearance, merely making it possible for the congressmen to pay, Jduring incum- for retirement benefits out of their own pockets. The appointment came, too, after Ramspeck had been handed the tail of another highly controversial bull, management of the proposal for time-and-a-half pay over 40 hours for government workers. Un- daunted by that, Ramspeck has in- troduced his own measure—a $300 a year bonus for the majority of gov- ernment workers during wirtime. The job of party whip is a vital one. It's up to him to see that all members are present for the vote on important legislation; to know just how the vote is going to be on 1 all measures and to keep the lead- er informed of that division. Boland had raised the job to one of high efficiency, dividing his work among “assistant whips” who could in a short time check the majority party opinion on almost any mea- sure. Ramspeck already has said that he is carrying on the Boland system. In appearance, Ramspeck is a quict studious-appearing, pleasant south- erner. He has spent 31 of his 52 years in city, state and federal government work. Watching over voting machinery in the House will be nothing new to Ramspeck. News men on the Hill and many of his colleagues have been running to Ramspeck more and more in re- cent years to find out which way the wind was blowing.
