NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avegue Bidg., Seattle, Wash, FOR THE VETERANS A project which everyone in Alaska should get to work on as soon as possible is a program through which Alaska's Yeturning war veterans, those who will need permanent medical care, or temporary care, can be taken care of in hospitals right here in Alaska, and not in the States, Whether cr not separate hospitals could be se- cured, or whether existing hospitals could be used, are things which we do not know. We do know, however, that most of the men who went to the battlefronts from Alaska, certainly do not look forward to returning to hospitals in the | States, even though these hospitals may be better than | Alaska could hope to have. Along the same line, much talk has been going around about Government-sponsored make-work proj- ects on which mainly returning veterans would he employed after the war We are sure, however, that these men will not want to return to WPA jobs, and urge that what- ever is done along this line be directed towards placing (these men in employmon( by pnvale enterp: modem warfar It may well be that the Federal Government will give Alaska financial aid in developing further the road system that has been started in wartime, and private contractors could be directed to bid for these jobs on the condition that returning veterans be hired wherever possible. Federal aid also probably will be forthcoming on port and harbor projects, and the same line could be followed here. The Territory, of course, would be expected to pay its share in such enterprises, and that’s another subject for discussion. 3 The American Legion, meanwhile, acting through Department Adjutant T. J. Petrich, is placing at the top of the list for the Alaska program the establish- ment of veterans' hospitals within the Territory. A letter has been written to T. O. Krabél, National Director of the National Rehabilitation Committee, with the view of taking matters up with the Veteians’ Administration. The Alaska American Legion’s attitude is summed up in this paragraph of the letter: “‘We believe that veteran residents should not be required to go to the States for hospitalization; that from funds recently appropriated by Congress to the Veterans' Administration for the building of addi- tional facilities, Alaska should be on the program for two such hospitals because we will need them. One hospital should be located in Southeast Alaska and one in Central or Westward Alaska. We also believe that now is the time for the Veterans' Ad- ministration to make a survey of Alaska, looking towards this end.” A 'ldll 'l ree (New York Times) Every garden should have a tree near by. A tall | tree with broad bole and spreading branches, prefer- ably with branches that start well down the trunk or with a low crotch from which a boy might climb. A tree which spreads its roots where it springs from the earth, firm-based and strong against the storms, This is .a tree for man as well as boy, the man who has climbed his trees and now can sit beneath them in understanding. For him those branches offer shade and hdspitality when the sun has seared his neck and the garden is only half weeded. He can rest his back against that broad bole in spring, when the spading is half done. Weeding and spading that younger hands once hastened through. There is reassurance at the foot of such a tree, as well as rest. The years have added to its strength and stature. The wind, the rain, the ice and blistering sun have all gone into the toughness of its fiber. Its roots strike deep into the soil and find sustenance in the old, old hills. Youngsters must climb trees, to look out across a world that is misty with adventure . New horizons can be seen from tall trees when one is young. But the time comes when one can sit at the foot of such a tree and see even farther than the eye could reach from its highest branch. There are times when one can see all the way to Tarawa and Anzio and Guadalcanal and Cassino. PRESIDENT'S HEALTH When Congressional leaders call- ed at the White House for the first | legislative conference following the President’s return from South Car- (Conuinuea iuom Page Oue) olina, he looked fit as a fiddle.
