The agency, after years found these things wrong ungainly Arctic beasts: 1. Their slow rate of reproduc-| tion. They don't reach maturity; until they are four or five years old, and the cows breed only in alternate years. 2. Their delicate health, despite their bulk. A cold climate anima!l, they do not thrive in a temperate zone. They cannot be clipped like, sheep because they are so readily subject to pneumonia. 3. The taste and texture of their flesh. It's edible tut not as good as beef or mutton. 4. Their disposition. They hate everybody all the time. “After years of study, the service’ has concluded that it is imprac- ticable to raise musk oxen as a rarmmg or commercial en prise,” an agency news release said. | “At the present time there are ! not sufficient animals available in Alaska to warrant their removal for experimentation.” PAA CARRIES 53; MONDAY FLIGHTS Pan American Airways carried 53 passengers yesterday as follows: From Seattle: Mr. and Mrs. Mike Harrington, Mike Harrington, Jr, | George Mayeta, Mrs. Thomas Selby, | S.

Harmon, Director of the Department of/ Public Welfare. In his statement, Harmon says the General Relief program which | is financed by Territorial funds is | established to take care of the needs of persons who are unable to earn a livelihood in consequence of immaturity, sickness or physical infirmity. According w a recenu interpre- tation by the Attorney General, no relief payment from General Re- lief funds may exceed $30 per in-‘ dividual per month for any purpose exclusive of medical or hospital care. This $30 maximum per indi-| vidual per month applies therefore | to subsistence needs, such as food, shelter, fuel, and clothing, or board and care payments for adults or children. In strict adherence to this re- cent interpretation of the law, it is necessary for the Department of Public Welfare to limit many of the important services which come| iunder the General Relief program The $30 limitation obviously wiil| not permit the Department to pro- ( vide the necessary living conditions for many needy persons. Indivi- duals living alone, and children de- pendent upon the Agency for foster care payments will te most affected as their needs cannot possibly be ‘met within the $30 maximum. The Department of Public Welfare re- cognizes the effect of this restric- tion, but is required to adhere to ! Territorial laws and their interpre- tation in the administration of the program. Apparently only legisla- tive action can solve present con- ditions, These policies which the Alaska Department of Public Welfare must follow have been of great concern to many people in the Ter- ritosy. The Department will, there- fore, keep the people of the Ter- ritory informed on the various activities and policies in relation o the General Relief program. It s hoped that this publication will answer many of the questions which heretofore have come through letters and personal con- tact to the District Welfare offices.

Brannan recently commended the Forest Service for completing on July 10, a full year without a fatal accident, according to word received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Washington. This the fir is largely attributed to the inten- sive safety campaign carried on by ince 1946. the agency The Secretary pointed out that record is an outstanding | achievement, considering the occu- pational risks inherent in various | Forest Service jots. Foremost in high-hazard work is the fighting of forest fires which in the past has claimed at least one life an- nually. During the year just end- ing Forest Service fire fighters suppressed approximately 7300 Llazes. Of special interest because of the spectacular additional risk involved is the smokejumper branch of the fire fighting force which has not haq a fatality since its found- ing ten years ago. This group made 570 jumps to 94 fires in the remote last year. Construction and maintenance jobs too have made an annual levy on human lives. Using high explosives and heavy equipment such as bulldozers and “cats,’ often on steep mountainsides, For- est Service personnel during the year worked on 120,000 miles of roads, 10,000 bridges, 100 landing fields, and 236 winter sports areas In addition, 124,000 miles of trails, 63,000 miles of telephone lines, and 118,600 buildings were maintained The Alaska Region, of the For- est Service recently received a let- ter of congratulation from Chiet Lyle F. Watts complimenting them on completing twelve months with- out a single lost-time injury. It is the only Region of the Forest Serv- ice so far to reach this distinction. Most of the Forest Service units in Alaska have not had a lost-time accident since 1947, the records being held by the Marine Station at Ketchikan and the Prince Wil- liam Sound Division at Cordova, with no lost-time accidents reported since Decemkier 1944 and Novem- at the Gastineau Hotel. ber 1945 respectively. engrossed in the sentry at the gates of Buckingham Palace, London, and the guests arriving for a party on Thursday that she is un- aware that she is the center of attra phnwgmphm “cnverin;" the event.
