If you arc fortunate enough to
think about building or buying a
house, the Extension Sorvico may >. .
have something that will interest
you. We have the series of housing
pamphlets published by the Small
Homes Council of the University of
Illinois. Each pamphlet dealt with'
a specific subject; Financing the
home; Chimneys and Firoplacos; Con
struction Methods; Business Deal
ings with the Architect and Con
structor, represent just a few of
the 25 subjects in the series*
You will find the series to con- :
tain many valuable ideas that fit
Alaskan conditions as well- as those
in the States* Since building a
home is a business investment in
volving largo amounts of money and
since .the average person only
builds one in his lifetime, it pays
to plap well in advance the type of
construction* These pamphlets are
designed.tq help plan before build
ing or buying*
If on the other hand you have a ■
place that could stand a little re
modeling, we have U.S.D.A* publica
tions on farmhouse remodeling,
farmhouse plans, insulation and
weather proofing; planning the bath
room. If interested, stop by the
Extension office or drop us a .line.
Those publications aren't helping
anyone lying in our office.

Hugh Johnson has just published
an account of his investigation of
Canadian marketing of perishables.
The areas investigated were on the
fringe or frontiers of Canadian ag
riculture and wore picked because
of similarities to Alaskan condi
tions. The results will be summar
ized and published in local papers
in the near future*. The complete
report is available for reading in
the Extension office. Mr. Johnson’s
report is in an interesting narra
tive stylo, proving that subjects
sommonly considered dry and stuffy
are good reading if adequately pre
sented.
