Territorial Director for Alaska
JUNEAU, ALASKA.
PRESS RELEASE
The First National Bank of Fair
banks has joined the ranks of the
financial institutions in Alaska
which are . co-operating _with the
Federal Modernization program, it
was announced recently by John E.
Pegues, Director for Alaska.
“E. L. Bartlett, Assistant Director,
who reached Fairbanks, has advised
the Juneau office that The First Na
tional there has now applied for an
Insurance Contract and will fully
co-operate in the plan,” Mr. Pegues
said.
“Thus, eleven out of 14 of the
banks in Alaska are either already
qualified to make Government-in
sured, modernization loans or have
applied for permission to do so,” he
added* “These include the First Na
tional Bank of Juneau and the First
National Bank of Ketchikan, the
first two institutions to apply and
qualify; B. M. Behrends Bank, of
Juneau; Miners & Merchants Bank
of Ketchikan; the Bank of Peters
burg, the Bank of Alaska with its
three branches, Skagway, Wrangell,
and Anchorage,the Bank of Seward,
Bank of Valdez and the First Na
tional of Fairbanks, is the latest to
join the ranks of those institutions
that are lining up behind the Presi
dent’s plan of putting private capi
tal back irito circulation, relieving
unemployment, improving individ
ual homes and raising community
morale.”
Only the Miners & Merchants
Bank of Nome, the First National
Bank of Anchorage and the First
Bank of Cordova have not qualified
to participate in the program, and
these are expected to ..qlign them
selves with the movement in the
| very near future.
“Qualification under Title I of the
National Housing Act does not carry
with it qualification under Title II,”
Mr. Pegues pointed out. “Eligible
institutions, although operating un
der Title I, are required to apply for
membership under Title II. Prac
tically every Alaska bank is eligible
and most of them have applied for
permission to make insured loans
under the latter section of the Na
tional Housing Act.
“The benefits of this are manifold
Under it new construction can be
financed on a basis of five percent,
simple interest, old mortages can be
refinanced, homes may be purchas
ed, and interest and amortization
| payments spread over a period not
to exceed 20 years.”
"The Director’s office will be glad
to give detailed information on both
Title I and Title II to anyone inter
ested in either.”

Me And Myself
A POEM
I’m the best pal that I ever had,
I like to be with me;
!
I like to sit and tell myself
Things confidentially.
I often sit and ask me
If I shouldn’t or I should,
And I find that my advice to me
Is always pretty good.
I never got acquainted with
myself till here of late,
And I find myself a bully chum,
I treat me simply great.
I talk with me and walk with me
And show me right and wrong,
I never knew how well myself
And me could get along.
I never try to cheat me,
I’m as truthful as can be;
No matter what may come or go,
I’m on the square with me.
It’s great to know yourself and have
A pal that s all your own;
I To be such company for yourself
You’re never left alone.
You’ll try to dodge the masses,
I And you’ll find a crowd’s a joke, [
; If you only trust yourself as well
As you treat other folk.
I’ve made a study of myself
Compared with me the lot,
And I’ve finally concluded
I’m the best friend I’ve got.
Just get together with yourself
And trust yourself with you,
And you’ll be surprised how well
yourself
Will like you if you do.

Appointments of postmasters in
Alaska for the past month are as
follows: Ophir, Mrs. Jessie M-^ Ho
ward; Berry, Mrs. -jAlaska Moody;
Juneau, Albert Wile.
- yt
The Delegate has recommended J.
H. Gilpatrick of Sitka,, for appoint
ment as postmaster at that place to
succeed Mrs. Elizabeth D. DeArm
ond, whose term will expire Janu
ary 13, 1935. The Post Office De
partment has requested the Dele
gate to recommend some one for ap
pointment as postmaster at the Ne
nana office to succeed Martin J.
Martin present postmaster, whose
term expires February 20, 1935. The
term of the postmaster at Ketchi
kan, Alaska, expired Last May
but no other appointment has been !
made at the time this is written^.
Since his return to the office, the I
Delegate has done considerable
work in pressing the plan of colon
ization for Alaska, a plan which is
favored by the Government for two
reasons: First, it would take care
of some people in the drouth strick
en areas who can no longer survive
thpre and people living under simil
iarly impossible economic conditions
elsewhere; and second, it would aid
in the settlement of Alaska with a
bona fide resident population. Three
places for the initial settlement are
under consideration—the Matanus
ka Valley will probably be chosen
for this settlement. If the settle
ment is as successful as the Delegate
believes it will be, it appears that
eventually at least 500 families will
be established in the Territory. The
Delegate believes, upon advice re
ceived from official quarters, that
this plan for the initial settlement
is certain to be carried out.
