PAGE TWO WATER POLLUTION BOARD MEETING; HEARS EVIDENCE The question of allowing the pro- posed pulp and paper mill at Ketchikan to use the sulphite pro- cess was posed before the first meeting today of the Water Pollu- tion Board in the Federal building. The six-person board, composed »f board of health members, was formed by the last territorial leg lature to administer the Alaska Water Pollution Act, passed to safeguard Alaskan waters from pol- lution and establish standards of water purity which affect public health, fish and wildlife, recreation and industrial development Henry W. Berger of Petersbur who said he was interested in the processing of crabs there, and who deséribed himself as a chemist and engineer employed nine years by Washington state, was violently op- posed to introduction of the sul- phite process. Heé id that 9,000 tons of liquor waste came from the processing of 1,000 tons of logs under the sul-} phite process, and that in a short time salmon would be destroyed or driven away from any area where currents are not strong. “The sulphite proc=ss inal, and should not be permitted,” he told the board He recommended crim- | allowing soda, | sulphate or ground wood methods, { as waste in each case is burned; and does pollute surrounding | streams and tidewater. | Heintzleman Testifies !

All those who have sold tickets during any of the three years since | the Association has been organized are urged to attend this luncheon. Anyone who cannot attend and wants more information regarding this year’'s membership drive can contact Commander Edward P. Chester, Jr., chairman of ticket sales, The Association is sure of two concerts at this time, and the ar- adults, and $2.50 for children. A financial statement issued by the Association shows a balance of 48 concert season. Total receipts shown are $5,14981, and out of that amount $3,855.25 went for artis fees and theatre réntal. Other ex- penses are as follows: advertising and programs, $238.10; piano mov- ing and tuning, $134.75; amusement tax $766.55; and miscellaneous ex- penses, $104.88. quires the veteran's certiticate of eligibility to irclude the name of the course he wishes to take, and the name of the approved school where he wishes to study. “A veteran who selects his school and course first,” in the V. A. opin- ion, “is more apt to give serious thought to his educational objec- tives and to the institution he will choose.” Public Law, 266, passed August 24, prohibits veterans from taking | G. 1. Bill courses for avocational | and recreational purposes. | New Procedures To qualify for flight training, which is in great demand in Al- aska, a veteran need not now sub- mit the complete justification pre- [‘\nmk viously required. The veteran may submit a letter | of justification stating that flight training is essential to his present | or contemplated business or educa- | tional objective. Or, he may sub-+ accompanied by corroborating afn-! davits by two competent disinter- | ested persons. These must show that flight training will be use- ful to him in connection with earn- ing a livelihood. In all cases, the applicant must name the course and institution, and also submit a medical certif- jcate showing that he is physically qualified in accordance with C.AA standards.
