INCREASE IN HOSPITAL
CONSTRUCTION FUNDS
Dr. C. Earl Albrecht. Territorial
Commissioner of Health, Tuesday
announced an increase in funds j
for hospital construction within
Alaska.
President Truman's recent sign
ing of the hospital construction
bill, introduced by Alaskan Dele
gate Bartlett, raises the territorys
yearly appropriation from $41
400 to $100,000.
A survey made last year by the
Territorial Department of Health
showed that sixteen Alaskan hos
pitals are elegible for federal aid.
Communities requesting funds for
hospital construction must raise
one-third of the estimated cost of
construction and meet territorial
and federal specifications. Allot
ments will be first made to those
communities with the greatest
need for hospital facilities.

In Your Interest
WALTER W. HEAD,
I President, General
American Life Insurance
Co., St. Louis, Mo., says:
“Inflation has become
a national plague. It infects our
entire economy. Every citizen in
the land feels its ill effects when
he is forced to pay high prices for
food, for clothing, for housing, and
for the other basic necessities of
daily life. Each of us can do his bit
to combat this dread fiscal disease
by saving more and squandering
less. One of the best and most con
venient saving methods available
to the average person in America
is the payroll allotment plan for
purchasing Series E Bonds.”

Fishing by salmon traps is
regulated and helps perpet
uate salmon because:>
1. Traps are stationary. Their locations^
and methods are easily watched by
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife conserva
tion experts.
2. The number of traps is closely regu
lated by the U. S. Fish and W ildlife
w
Service. Nobody can legally regulate
the number of mobile gear.
Vote to perpetuate Alaska’s
greatest natural resource—
salmon.
VOTE TO
CONTINUE TRAPS!
Here's why YOU Should
VOTE to CONTINUE
TRAPS:
1. Traps mean jobs—not just for 45 days but for
six to nine months for approximately 4,000
people, mostly Alaskans.
2. Traps are the best means of conserving
Alaska’s salmon.
3. Traps pay taxes. Without them the Territory
would have to levy additional taxes on all
other Alaska businesses and individuals.
4. Traps, together with mobile gear, allow can
neries to operate efficiently. W ithout traps,
at least 25 large canneries would close down
because they would be stripped of their de
pendable supply of salmon—thousands of men
would lose their jobs.
5. Traps are vital to Alaska’s economy. Confiscate
them and you undermine the Territory's sta
bility. An unstable region cannot develop ft
diversified economy.
6. Traps so stabilize the entire salmon industry
that they make it possible for packer? to pay
fishermen maximum prices. Confiscate traps
and you cut down these earnings. Nobody
gains—everyone loses.
7. Traps are vital in maintaining U. S. world
leadership in the canned salmon industry. Con
fiscate them and you so weaken America s posi
tion that it will be possible for Russia, utilizing
U.S. built floating canneries, to seize this prize
in world trade. The Japanese demonstrated,
in 1937, by their operations in Bristol Bay.
that such floating canneries constitute a real
threat.
8. Traps represent large investments in venture
capital. Confiscate them anil you discourage
other industries from investing in Alaska's
future.
9. Traps provide healthy competition. Confiscate
them and you establish a gear monopoly in the
catching of salmon.
10. Traps, seines and gill nets—ALL THREE
TYPES OF GEAR ARE ESSENTIAL to
maintain Alaska’s canned salmon pack. Vary
ing conditions in the Alaska fishing grounds
make it economically feasible to fish certain
areas to full adrantage only by means of traps.
