AN EASTER MESSAGE
Easter greetings are sent here and
there,
For many folks who live sound
and fair,
To each other some people will
send,
A thank you gift from one’s old
friend.
Easter is coming with all it’s
glory and splendor,
Of joys and sorrows and things
to remember,
For of this day as yet to come, •
In a way it’s like Love, as one
loves one.
Easter is cheerful in more ways
than one,
Easter is the heart of every
mother’s son,
Easter is the time that some folks
will pray,
B’cause—Easter’s the time, we
should be thankful some way.
So on this glorious Easter Day,
May I send Easter greetings your
way?
Greetings that are full of many a
cheer,
That will last each of you through
out the year!

of the main highway of Alaska
weer paved with a light bitumin
ous surface. Contracts have al
ready been let using available
funds for the paving of over 200
miles more in 1950. By the end of
the year it is hoped that paving
will be completed on the Glenn
Highway from Anchorage as far
! as Sheep Mountain; from Fair
1 banks as far as Big Delta; from
Haines to the Canadian border;
and other short pieces. By the end
o fthe year much additional pav
ing work will be under way. This
will include completion of sur
facing of the Glenn Highway and
considerable paving on the Rich
ardson Highway out of Valdez
and between Copper Center and
Big Timber Lodge.
New road construction will in
clude completion of the Sterling
Highway connecting Homer and
Kenai with Seward. This high
, way, which was opened to traf
i fie during the past winter over
the frost, requires grading and
surfacing with gravel before it
will be suitable for summer travel
from end to end. Appropriate
i ceremonies are planned this sum
mer when its construction has
l been completed.
I Construction is rapidly progress
on the new road to connect An
chorage with Seward and the Kc
nai Peninsula. Along Turnagain
Arm the entire project is under
contract and it is hoped that by
the end of 1950 this road can be
opened to limited traffic from end
to end.
Construction will continue upon
the new road extending northward
from the Alaska Highway to Chic
ken, Jack Wade, and Eagle.
Construction will comme nee
this spring upon a new road to ex
tend from Paxson’s on the Rich
ardson Highway to Cantwell on
The Alaska Railroad and Mt. Mc
Kinley National Park.
Surveys of new roads will be
completed this year from Fair
banks to Nenana and for extend
ing the airport road from Metla
katla to the head of Annette Is
land, opposite Ketchikan. A new
survey will be made of a road
from Livengood to the vicinity of
Eureka and Manley Hot Springs,
looking toward the ultimate link
ing of this important mining, agri
| cultural, and recreational district
with the main highway system.
Surveys already completed in
clude those of a road from Fair
banks to Chena Hot Springs, and
Naknek Village to Naknek Air
field. These projects are awaiting
appropriation of funds for con
struction.
Reconstruction ot the road from
Nome to Council will be carried
to completion during 1950. All of
the other roads around Nome, and
the Seward Peninsula Tram Road,
will be maintained to suit the
needs of traffic. New roads from
Nome to Solomon and from Golo
vin to White Mountain have been
surveyed, but funds for their con
struction, though requested, have
not been included in this year’s
appropriation. Increased mainten
ance is planned for a road from
Ruby to Long and Poorman and
for the roads around Manley Hot
Springs. The roads around Takot-'
na, McGrath, Flat, Iditarod, Wise
man, and other places will be
maintained in condition suitable
to the needs of traffic. It is an ob
jective of the Alaska Road Com
mission to gradually link these
outlying localities with the main.

FATHERS MAY BUY
PINLESS DIAPER
SANTA ANA, Calif. </P>— H. A.
Schwilck is manufacturing a piti
less diaper which he expects to
make him a hero among papas.
Invented by a Mrs. J. C. Slus
ser, of Pomona, Calif., the new
diaper may be adjusted to various
sizes and held fast by snaps. It is
cut and sowed to a pattern and
requires no folding nor pins. Sch
wilck plans to distribute them
nationally. He says they will cost
slightly more than standard dia
pers.
road system where possible, but
this is obviously a very long range
objective in most cases, as ex
treme distances and lack of pop
ulation may make it impractic
able to do so.
The project for a car ferry serv
ice through southeastern Alaska to
link the continental highway and
railroad at Prince Rupert with
Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg,
Juneau, Haines, and Skagwny is
still only in the study stage.
It is the objective of the Alaska
Road Commission to connect all
parts of Alaska with each other
1 and with the adjacent regions of
Canada. Studies are continuously
1 being made and negotiations car
ried on to remove the obstacles
that stand in the way of efficient
low cost motor transportation.
Probably no region in the world,
and certainly not in the United
States, has more of these obstacles
due to topography, climate, and
international boundaries than has
Alaska.
Truman Wants
Knlarged Jobless
Benefit Plan
WASHINGTON, </P>—President
Truman got a mixed and uncer
tain reception on Capitol Hill to
day for his new proposal to <1>
blanket 6,000,000 more workers
under employment insurance and
(2* pay bigger benefits to the job
less for a longer time.
Mr. Truman cited an average
of nearly 4,500,000 unemployed
this year and said prompt action
is urgent.
Democratic leaders were not en
thusiastic at the prospect of put
ting the plan through Congress
this year, however, and some Re
publicans signalled that they are
ready to do battle against it.
In a special message to Congress
from Key West, Fla., the President
asked:
1. A $30-a-week nationwide
minimum in jobless pay, plus ad
ditional money for dependents,
with these payments forthcoming
; for each unemployed person, if
needed, for 26 weeks. The various
Slates now determine the size and
duration of payments. Benefits
var> bt States from $15 to $27,
and duration of benefits runs
from 12 weeks in some States to
26 in others.
2. That the taxes on employers
be increased to carry the enlarged
program. The employer now pays
the tax on the first $3,000 of an
individual worker’s pay. Mr. Tru
man proposes to tax the employer
on the first 4,800 instead. The tax
ranges up to 3 per cent.
The 6,000,000 new workers blan
keted under the program, if it is
approved, would bring the total of
covered workers to about 36,000,
000.
