exist now for service manufactur
i ing to supply wood products to
local markets, but that larger
scale productive manufacturing
of spccialy items for outside mar
kets must await lower transport
tat ion rates.
"Over 90 percent of all wood
products used in Alaska are im
ported from the states,” Frank
reports. "There is no doubt that
many of these products can eas
ily be manufactured in Alaska,
there is a growing and immediate
and it is obvious that right now
need for service manufacturing
there, especially in such fast
growing towns as Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Wrangell and Ketchi
I kan.There is a great demand for
j woodworkers who can build for
i the old as well as the new resi.
j dents—build to their specifica
j tions—furniture, doors, sash, and
j hundreds of all kinds of utility
wood products.
1 “If the cost of shipping over
land. by water and by air, could
possibly be reduced—if these
; costs were made to meet the av
erage in the rest of the world,
or tlie middle-class pocket (which
will no doubt occur some day) —
then Alaska would also offer won
derful opportunities for product
ive manufacturing.”
The booklet, which may be ob
tained without charge from the
Alaska Development Board, sug
gests eight steps which the pros
pective Alaska woodworking op
erator should follow in setting up
business in the Territory. It.
weghs the relative advantages of
each of the main Alaska commun
ites, describes the properties of
the various woods available in the
Territory, lists equipment, needed
to start small woodworking estab
lishments and contains references
to further information on these
subjects.

On the advice of his physician, :
Van Johnson dropped out of
“The Story of Monty Stratton,” j
the baseball role that he wanted
so much to do. A serious auto ac
dent some time ago is still the
cause of severe headaches and
Van may have to face an opera- ;
tion soon. In the meantime, he’ll
do less strenuous roles.
MIRACLES DO HAPPEN—Here
i
arc a couple of true stories that
are being kept on the hush-hush, i
Recently a paroled convict, an
auditor who went up for embez- |
zlement, returned to L. A. He j
got a job in one of the large oil
firms. He worked hard and long
and above all, honestly. Today
that man is up for vice-presiden- j
ey of the firm—and it’s the same
firm that sent him to prison. An
other convice received a parole
and returned to L. A. also. His
wife wanted a divorce. He beg
ged her to wait, to give him an
other chance—a year to get back
on his feet. The wife agreed to
wait. So he got a job as janitor
in one of the large hotels here.
Today, the man is manager of
that notel with a penthouse a
partment on the top floor. His
wife and children are w’ith him
and all are very happy. But the
man is still reporting to the par
ole officer in downtown L. A.
Shelley Winters, new discovery,
is winning her way to fame—by
dying in films. She hits made 3
films: in the first she was strang
led. in the second she went to
prison and now in "The Great
Gatsby," she is killed by an auto.
Hate to think what may happen
in the ofurth.

Criticism: A thing that may be
avoided by saying nothing, doing

Except for three categories bus
iness men no longer need pre
serve their records of goods and
services which were decontrolled
by the Office of Price Adminis
tration. the Department of Com
merce said today.
Easing of the rule requiring
OPA record-retention for a period
of three years from the date of
decontrol—in no event after Nov.
9. 1949—now limits record-keep
ing under the Emergency Price
Control Act of 1942. as amended,
to the following thro groups:
(D Parties to pending actions.
(2) Recipients or claimants of
subsidy, premium or other pay
ments rfom the Government, such
as meat slaughterers, processors
of certain ragicultural commodi
ti.s, and producers of copper,
load and zinc ores.
(3> Sellers of commodities or
services no the Government un
der adjustable price schedules,
such as sellers of industrial alco
hol and various agricultural com
modities.
Retention of records with ra
sp -ct to rice is likewise applica
ble to the three categories indi
cated above.
Today’s relaxation of the rec
cord-keeping rule was concurred
in by the Department of Com- ,
merce, the Department of Agri
culture, and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and was ap
proved by the Department of
Justice.
Marriage is love parsonified.
Your husband seems to be a
very brilliant man—suppose he
knows most everything!
Don’t fool yourself; he doesn’t
even suspect anything.
