ALASKA WILD BERRIES
Alaska is not only a land of “milk and honey,” but it is
a land of wild berries, berries growing on the hilltops and
in the valleys, in the shady nooks and where the warm sun
shines the brightest—berries that would put to shame the
first vanities ever grown in a home garden or cultivated in
a hot house, so delicious are their strange, wild flavors, and
their vague, sweet perfumes.
Cranberries, high and low bush, for delicious jams and
jellies. Freezing and thawing does not affect them.
Raspberries and strawberries, brought to market in
great bucketfuls. They must be eaten to be appreciated.
Blueberries, purple in color with a crimson juice for
jams, jellies, pies, canned and preserved.
There are innumerable others, many of them of delic
ious flavor, but scarcely ranking in importance with the ones
already mentioned.
Wonderful berries in a wonderful country.—The Sew
ard Gateway.
PUBLIC WORKS SUCCESS.
Public works programs such as are now being carried
out are not confined to this country alone. In Australia such
a plan has been adopted in the move to rectify that country’s
economic balance and stem unemployment and has been
found to be one of the greatest contributions to recovery.
D. Ford Williams, an old time resident of Juneau in the
early wireless days and now a resident of Melbourne, who
stopped off here while his ship was in port, brings word of
the outstanding success of public works programs in that
country.
“We have balanced our budgets,” he said in explaining
how Australia had battled the depression which swept the
world and now was regaining normal conditions. He went
on to say how large a part the public works program had
played in bringing along recovery in that it started the
wheels of private industry turning and drained relief rolls
to a minimum.
While the Australian plan of raising funds for public
works is somewhat different from ours in that each gainfully
employed person is assessed a certain percentage of his in
come the principle back of the program is exactly the same
and, as President Roosevelt has time and time again pointed
out, if private industry will co-operate the public works pro
gram will pave the way. Too many people look upon pub
lic works as merely a means for creating jobs when in fact
that is only the beginning. Pushed along effectively the
expenditure of public funds for various needed improve
ments is bound to give impetus to the machinery of private
undertakings. The answer, with full co-operation of indus
try, as Australia has already discovered, is balanced budgets
and economic recovery.—Juneau Empire.
Arkansans protest suggestion that the Ozark hog be
memorialized on auto license plates. It might be valuable
in reminding drivers to keep to one side of the road.

tage is contemplated. The AAA and
the TVA mean more to Representa
tives than mere letters in the alpha
bet Tiie soft coal and the alcohol
industries seem to be in need of
legislation. Finally, but not of least
importance to the greatest number,
there is the matter of keeping alive
the so-called nuisance taxes on a
long list of commodities, ranging
from auto trucks to matches. Speak
ing of matches, a match is a weak
article that time out of mind has
been considered robust enough to
carry a tax. The straw broke the
camel's back, but the fragile match
is strong enough to support al
most any taxation camel that pass
es by. There appears to be no so
ciety for the prevention of cruel
ty to matches, and when the House
cuts loose on a taxing program,
what can hope to escape? Turning
from jest to earnest, Congress has
put in several busy months, and if
its members can handle promptly
the heavy grist that remains to be
ground, and get back to the business
of mending fences shortly after
congress adjourns, no one will be
grudge them a change of occupation.
