(Anchorage News) in Anchorage? That is a moot question, a hard one to answer without a good deal of research and study but there are many who know a thing or two about building who are willing to say they are. | The city has a building code which calls for steel and concrete in the first fire zone, or as an alterna- tive, heavily laminated walls. The code follows the pattern of the Pacific Coas building codes. In fact code of the Pacific Coast Builders Conference of 1927 with revisions up to 1945. It envisions a modern city of concrete buildings all along Fourth and Fifth ave- nues which is fine for the builders able to obtain fi- | nancing. But how about the smaller fellows who own property and would if they could put up substantial, but not too elaborate buildings. H They are for all practical purposes stymied through provisions of the code. We ran into another thing the other day in the case of a man building a home. During the special jon of the Legislature in 1946 the Territorial De- partment of Health was given more or less blanket authority to promulgate rules and regulations for the promotion of good health in the Territory. Among the dozens of new directives which have the authority of law, is one which says sewer and water laterals must be laid in separate ditches ten feet apart horizontally. This means the builder of a house (and lord knows they are plenty expensive anyway) must double his expense in connecting to the city's sewer and water mains. | In some parts of the city it is necessary to exca- | vate 13 or 14 feet to reach the sewers.

ARMY SERVICE IN JAPAN AND KOREA OPENTO | SPECIFIC CHOICES | | Juneau and Douglas young men | who liked to travel abroad may sat- [ ify their ambition and embark on a ! rewarding career by enlisting in the ; Army for service with one of five | famous combat divisions stationed | in Japan and Korea, T/Sgt. E. S Craig, Juneau Recruiting Station, said today. The privilege of enlisting specif- ically for service in one cf these divisions is offered by the Army to all recruits, regardl whether they have previous military experience. He pointed out that in addition to| the Regular Army's high pay scales.' men serving with these divisions re- | ceive an additional 20 per cent for} overseas service. 2 The five divisions in which enlist- | ments now are being accepted for| service in Japan and Korea are the illustrious 11th Airborne and 6th, Tth, 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions. ! All five distinguished themselves during the Pacific campaigns ur‘ World War II. The 6th “Red Star” Division saw action in New Guinea, moved on to clear the Japs from Luzon. | Also in Korea is the 7th “Hour- glass” Division, which won eight Distinguished Unit Citations for ac- | tion on Attu and saw bitter fighting | on Kwajalein, Leyte, Okinawa. Men who want to serve under General MacArthur in Japan may | choose between the 24th “Victory” Division, the 25th “Tropic Light- ning” Division and the 1lth Air- borne. The 24th participated in| heavy fikhting in New Guinea and | the Philippines, won several Distin- guished Unit Citations for its part, in the recapture of Corregidor. The “Tropie Lightning” Diyision saw action on Guadalcanal, New Geor- gia, Vella La Vella and Luzon and | won two Distinguished Unit Cita-! tions for action on Luzon. The war- time activities of the 1lth Airborne Division are far-famed. Their bright blue-and-white insignia and polish- ed paratrooper boots have been a' familiar sight in Japan since V-J Day. While recruits must enlist for a minimum of three years in order to choose one of these divisions, they can continue their education.
