ASSESSMENT WORK IN ALASKA {to | fact They have been, in many instances, put out of busi- ness through no fault of their own but simply because they deal in a product the price of which has remained stationary fi'hlle the production costs have risen. Your association and I undoubtedly would prefer that indi- viduals of this type be given special exemptions; but as that is obviously impossible it seems . . . that Alaska miners should prepare once more to perform assessment work.” The law requires that pleted by July 1 of this year work be com- ssment Army Reservists (Washington Post) In recrganizing its reserve program to provied a more realictic type of training, the Army has acted correct a law of long standing. Confusion has haracterized the reserve program since the war. The is that, aside from the work of actual units preparing for mobilization, much reserve training has had little relation to military necessity. Reserve of- ficers and enlisted men have met every two weeks or 50 to hear boring general lectures or to be entertained by talks having no bearing on their signments. They have been held together partly by patriotism and partly by the inducement of occasional pay and eventual pensions if they accumlate enough training Suspension of assessment work in Alaska will not be asked according to direct word from Washington. Delegate E. L. Bartlett, in his weekly newsletter, contains the following information on the subject which will interest all holding mining claims: “Unless some unusual circumstances should arise which now cannot be foreseen” he will not introd legislation to suspend the requirment of performance of assessment work on mining claims in Alaska. The decision was reached after Delegate Bartlett Jearned that the Interior Department through Di- rector Marion Clawson of the Bureau of Land Man- agement had indicated probable opposition to any effort to seek a further moratorium and upon advice of a committee of the Alaska Miners Association that no effort should be made to obtain a further sus- pension of assessment work. For a number of years during the war and since, the law requiring $100 worth of labor or improvements on each mining claim was suspended The last law sponsored by Delegate Bartlett waived the requirement until the period between July 1 of last year and July 1 of 1950 and became law at a time that increasing | serve training points. Reservists have particular reason to be miffed with the Army over the matter of training pay. The Army made a big point of pay inducement, and the response was great—so great, in fact, that in December pay was suspended in effect to all but “Class A” or- ganized units. The overexpansion of the reserve and the consequent threatened overobligation of funds re- flected shoddy planning somewhere—for it was not the reservist but the Army itself that raised the issue of remuneration. After a thorough study of the reserve program, the Army apparently is convinced that security lies not in an amorphous mass of reservists, but in or- ganized units training for specific jobs. Hence the decision to consolidate 18,000 training units, many with only a few men, into 9000, to get away from the | general training concept. Emphasis will be on unit training for specific assignments, and persons in the 50: led volunteer reserve who cannot fill places in mobilization units will be encouraged to attend school centers where they may receive adequate instruction in their specialties. The change of emphasis is a | welcome move to end abstractions and make the re- program more meaningful. fic.

Meherin, local merchandise broker and Hills Bros. rep- resentative, arrived on the Queen, then continued to Haines, Skagway and Sitka on the same vessel. He said his 1929 business showed a healthy growth over that of 1928 and that 1930 looked to be the best year in the Territory. At the meeting of the company’s sales force, Meherin saw A. A.

Tom McMullen, pioneer Juneau restaurant man, arrived home on the Queen. George A. Nelson, representative of Swift’s, and H. B. Crewson of Schillings, were booked outbound on the Queen for Southeast Alaska ports. Robert Proper returned on the Queen after spending several weeks in Seattle. He was staying with Mr. and Mrs. E. J. White. Brian Harland, who held the appointment of alternate to the U. S Military Academy at West Point, left on the Queen for Haines to take the examinations. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bostrom, who arrived in Douglas the week before for a visit, decided to take up residence there. Mrs. Bostrom was the former Aino Kronquist, the daughter of Fred Kronquist.

If one is having a party on one's birthday and it is a sure thing that just a few of the guests, knowing of the birthday, will bring gifts, is it all right to open these gifts and risk embarrassing those guests who were unaware of the occasion? A. Most probably the guests who don’t know are not intimate friends, and there should be no cause for embarrassment. In any case, it would be very disappointing to the others if you don’t open the packages and express your pleasure. . ¥ Q. Does an acquaintance of a bereaved family have to wear any special kind of clothes when attending the funeral? A. You should choose your most inconspicuous clothes — black, if possible, otherwise dark colors. Q. Isn't it considered improper for a bridge player to begin ar- ranging his cards before the entire hand has been dealt? A. Yes; this is crude. A player should wait until everybody has been dealt his entire hand. 4 B e e SN LOOK and LEARN Xy C. GORDON 1. Which have the greater life expectancy, men or women? 2.
