DOG. DAYS are here again.
Around Fairbanks school yards Dog
Days are winter days when the
loose dogs of the area pack up and
follow children to school. When the
children run or play and scuffle
and fall down, this triggers an at
tack action in many dogs and we
have another case of dog-bites
child.
A loose dog is everyone's PEST
and no; one's PET. Dog owners who
ignore this fact are responsible for
the ]oo$5e dogs who bite school chil
dren. We do have licensing of dogs
within ;the City, but this, quite ob
viously. is a very loosely controlled
function.
Tightening up of enforcement of
the dog licensing law within the
City would do much to cut down the
number of attacks on children in
school areas within the City. There
is no State control over loose dogs
and no State licensing to control
loose dogs in the Fairbanks school
district areas outside the City.
Borough government will make
*> possible some improvement in the
control of loose dogs in the non-city
school district area. Thus, borough
government can be an answ'er to
this loose dog problem—as it will to
many other health and safety prob
lems.

BARTLETT LODGES PROTEST
In a quick flurry of activity the
Department of the Army announced
the transfer to the Department of
the Air Force of the Alaska Com
munications System Feb. 8. The an
nouncement, which stated that the
transfer was to be effective July
1. was rescinded just two hours
after issuance.
Alaska Senator E. L. “Bob” Bart
lett has lodged a protest with Secre
tary of Defense McNamara for the
manner in which the Army had an
nounced the transfer, without any
consultation with Governor Egan,
any member of Alaska's Congres
sional delegation, and apparently
without even informing the Chief
Signal Officer of the Army of the
decision.
Upon hearing of the transfer
Bartlett had conferred with Major !
General R. T. Nelson. Chief Signal
Officer. According to Bartlett, the
General hadn't even heard of the
transfer announcement.
“I was amazed and disturbed,"
Senator Bartlett wired Secretary
McNamara, “to have communicated
to me the text of an Army press
release stating ACS was to be trans
ferred to the Department of Air
Force effective July 1 next.” Sena
tor Bartlett went on to say, “Were
this only a shift in transfer of
authority and jurisdiction from one

In closing his wire Senator Bart

the decision itself.”
