ARTICLE BY GOV. GRUENING September’s icsue of the National Geographic Magazine is almost an “Alaska” issue, for the first three articles, complete with many begu- tiful black and white and color pic- tures, are about Alaska. . The leading article in the maga- zine is written by Gov. Ernest Gruening and is titled “Strategic Alaska Looks Ahead.” The article shows how thé Territory, now being more closely linked to the United States by road and rail, embodies | the American epic of freedom, ad- venture, and the pioneer spirit. | Many of the color as well as black and white photographs in this ar- | ticle were taken by Gov. Gruening. | Juneau readers will recognize fam- iliar scenes and faces. The second section of the book includes the story in pictures and writing of “The Lonely Aleutians,” by Lonnelle Davison, and the next is “Discovering Alaska's Oldest Arc- tic ‘Town,” with 15 illustrations. Prof. Froelich G. Rainey of the Uni- | versity of Alaska at Mairbanks wrote this article, which deals with Point | Hope excavations made by the an- | tropology professor and others, and | describing the burned town uncov- | ered there, which has been named | QUALIEY NONNNNoNoNCY SITKA TRAVELERS LISTED FOR ACA TRIPS YESTERDAY Flights made today by Alaska Coastal Airlines included a morn- ing trip from Sitka, bringing F.

At the same time, it has been flexible enough to in- | sure a fair margin of profit to the retail merchant in those parts of Alaska which lie to the south.”_ Need Added Details It is true that a more detailed report is required in Alaska than is required in the States, she added, but that is due to the fact that the regulation adopted for Alaska’s spec- ial benefit permits the merchant to figure his replacement cost and the | cost of transportation to this place | of business as his direct cost. In order to have a check-up on the! report submitted by him, it was necessary that details be given, which were not required in the other parts of the country where no replacement cost is allowed, prices being frozen as of a particular month. ‘he Alaska regulation al- most completely eliminates the “squeeze” felt everywhere else, A second grievance voiced by the Ketchikan group was that they were again emphasized the fact that our office had set up no ‘crack-down’ machinery and that in all cases of | individual hardship where the mer- | chant could show that it was not lof the regulations seem not to have possible for him to prepare his re- | port in time, we would give him | every consideration.
