AT LAST! Sitkans, who last year street to take care of crowded donditions, little realized what they would have to go through merely to make | one of the city’s thoroughfares six feet wider. The procedure is an example of how much Alaskans have to say about the ground they live on. | The land that was needed formed part of the grounds of the Alaska Pioneers’ Home, and therefore, | it would seem that the City of Sitka would need only | to ask the Territorial Legislature to donate the needed | parcel of land for the purpose. Such a bill was introduced at the last session, but it was disclosed that the Territorial Legislature had no such powers. Congress, and Congress, alone, could pass the six feet of land along So such a bill was introduced in Congress and finally passed. The Congressional Record for the day | the measure passed the House is of interest It follows: “The Clerk called the next bill, H. R. 340, to authorize the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska to grant and convey certain lands to the city.of Sitka, Alaska, for street purposes. | “THE SPEAKER: Is there objection to the present consideration of the bill? “MR. PRIEST (J. Percy Priest of Tennessee): Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, the gentle- man from Alaska, (Mr. Dimond), is on the floor and I would like to ask him to give a short explanation of this legislation.” (Delegeta Dimond proceeds to give an explana- tion which anyone could get by reading the bill.) “MR. PRIEST: Will the gentleman yield? ‘MR. DIMOND: Certainly “MR. PRIEST: In the event the city at any time decided to widen a Sitka | MR. DIMOND: in the bill bill would have known.) “MR. RANKIN (John E. Rankin of Mi The streets of Sitka are very, not? will notice by his next remark. “MR. DIMOND (answering the question): That is right “MR. RANKIN (Ah, here it comes): The gentle- man from Washington, our distinguished colleague of a few years ago, Hon. John F. Miller, who has now passed aw: said that when Sitka was the capital of Alaska it was the only capital in the world that never had a horse in it, because the sterets were so narrow they could not use them; So, Mr. Speaker, with all the territory we have in Alaska, comprising about 590,000 square miles, it seems to me we can Vvery well afford to grant to the city of Sitka a few feet of ground necessary to make these streets passable. I hope there will be no objection to the passage of this bill And so the bill was passed wasn't it? Now all Sitka has to do Generous gesture, is to wait until the city fathers, if they haven't forgotten all about it, can rush the project. Service Casualties (Cincinnati Enquirer) Total war casualties, recently announced by Sec- retary of War Stimson, present some interesting com- parisons. life of a soldier isn’t as dangerous as many of us had believed; second, that the life of a civilian is much more dangerous than is generally realized. Mt. Stimson’s figures show that the number of | 4. ¢0 hyinging to them serenity and| | servicemen who have died since Pearl Harhor is something over 10,000. If we use the figure 4,000,000 |as the average number of men in service since me*‘ngumlxon | start of the war, we will see that a serviceman h'“’x about one chance in 400 of losing his life. Since Pearl Harbor, about 180,000 Americans have their lives through accidents—at a rate of one for each 725. So far as deaths are concerned, then, the Army or Navy man runs greater risks than the civilians— | although the figures above are not entirely accurate ‘ The figures on loss of life in the armed services in- | clude many men who died from natural causes. Those deaths are not taken into consideration in the civilian figure quoted above. In the matter of accidental injury, however, the | civilian seems to run far greater risks than does the soldier. More than 18,000,000 out of 131,000,000 Am- ericans were injured during the months since the war began. Only 26,666 have been wounded in action,| Mr. Stimson's report shows. Thus civilians have one | chance in less than eight of being hurt, while a soldier has only one chance in 150 of being wounded | If the figures exaggerated on the side of the | soldier in the first comparison, the exaggeration here is on the side of the civilian. Many men in the | armed ser suffer accidental injuries and these, we presume, are not included in the report of casual- |S ties. Still, if it were possible to include these service injuries, the balance of danger still would be tipped far towards the civilian life Parents of youths in uniform, reading these figures, may be encouraged. The average boy in service has an excellent chance of returning home safe and sound. If he is among the comparatively | few who are on an active fighting front, his chances are reduced correspondingly But out of each 100 | (Explains this is provided for Also something anyone who had read the sippi) : very narrow, are they (He's laying the groundwork to show what a wealth of information he has in his brain and to'show off before his less well-informed colleagues ds you Yes.
