Not only did most of the railtoad trainmen haul the trains without salary but many railroad workers not on the line of the train mailed me checks saying that they wanted to contribute, too. Both labor and business filled up these Friendship Trains. The team- sters’ union helped to load cars; the steel-workers' union con- tributed money to buy carloads of canned milk: the farmers’ unicn contributed flour Most of this food came from very humble people. In Hawaii, the people contributed a total ol eight cents apiece, but their contribu- ticn totaled two carloads of sugar which is six European boxcars. In Wichita, Kansas, the school chil- dren ran errands and saved their lunch money until they were able to purchase one carload of wheat. In Wyoming, a dentist toured most of that very mountainous and sparsely settled state until, with the help of many others, Wyoming had collected almost as much as some of the richer farm states. The State of Nebraska is supposed to be against cooperation with Eu- rope. At least, that’s how most of its representatives vote in Congress.

However, perhaps this was for the best because this food is by and from the American people It is from the people of America to their needy friends in Europe. It is also important to note that President Truman's home town, Kansas City, did contribute in a big way with fourteen cars of food and one of the first tele- grams I received was irom Mr. Truman's home county, saying that they refused to be left out. In the end, we had to send a spec- jal train through Kansas City where President Truman's neigh- bors had especially stamped their bags of flour with this message: BLESSINGS OF DEMOCRACY “From Jackscn County, Missouri, in the heart of America, this bag of flour comes to you with gree?- ings and best wishes, whatever your race or nationality.

The Juneau classes will be held | for four weeks and will cover general geology, ore geology, rock formation and their relation to ore deposits. Special emphasis will be given to the geology of Southeast Alaska. The last week and a half will be spent on laboratory work on min- erals supplied by the university or by the students themselves. Mining in the Territory has pick- ed up slightly from the slump of the war, Saarela said. The placer mines of the Interior contributed most of the production of “1947—most lode mines were closed. The outlook is obscure on account of unsettled conditions. With production costs rising steadily because of labor and supply increases, the miner has had to look for improved techniques and mechanization to make a porfit as the price of gold is fixed. Most base metal prices has risen more than 30 per cent since the war and this rise has offset to some ex- tent the rise in costs. Canada has in the past two months offered a bonus to its miners of $7 per ounce for over average production bringing the price of gold to $42 per ounce and this boost has resulted in con- siderable activity on the Canadian side. What this will mean to the Alaskan miner and prospector re- mains to be seen, Saarela said. The Mining Extension Course, which is given by the university by authorization of the Territorial Leg- islature, is especially designed to stimulate interest in prospecting as the future of the mining industry lies in the development of new de- posits. The course is open to all without regard to previous training or academic requirements. Anyone wishing to sign up for the course before Monday night can contact the instructor at the Territorial De- partment of Mines office.
