Building For University
The Office of Territories re
cently approved an allotment of
S223,000 from the Alaska Public
Works funds for new construc
tion at the University of Alaska.
The funds will be used to build
and equip a two-story, efficiency
type apartment dormitory for
married students.
Cut in Alaska Publicity
Under the provisions of a law
passed by the 83rd Congress,
government agencies will hence
forth pay postage on the mail
they send out, just like private
business firms firms and indivi
duals. While some of these agen
cies will continue to use fran
ked envelopes, without stamps,
they will have to count the num
ber of pieces they place in the
mail and pay the Post Office De
partment by lump sum. Other
agencies, the Governor’s Office
included, will use postage stamps.
The law was passed after most
if not all department budgets
had been set up and approved
and the appropriations passed by
Congress. Few if any of them
made allowance for this extra
payment of postage and many
departments will have to watch
their mailings during the remain
der of the fiscal year.

JAPANESE YOUTH
SEEKING ALASKAN
DAIRY FARM STUDIES
The following letter was re
ceived by L. O. Hollist of the
Extension Service, Fairbanks re
cently and sent to Richard Blue
of the Palmer office with the
thought that some Valley farmer
might be interested in assisting
the young Japanese youth who
desires farming study in Alaska.
Former plans with the Creamer
Dairy of Fairbanks did not
materialize. Hollist said.
The letter follows:
Dear Mr. Hollist
Always, I could never thank
you, enough for your kindly
spirit for me. Yes, I have re
ceived your air letter of August
19.
Well, I have wishing to get
Mr. Creamer’s calling letters (2
copies): Inviting letters, from Ja
pan to Alaska, in which his
identity card, as my helper.
And so, by his inviting letter,
I will be able to receive a pass
port to Alaska, from the minister
of Foreign Affairs. This matter
is pressing for me.
And. according to the immigra
tion Restriction Law of your
country, it is too difficulty to j
move to Mr. Creamer’s dairy, as
an apprentice farmer, for me.
And so, I wish to be invited as
one of his family, for learning “A
Dairy managing” for 3 years
; stay. If he do so, this will be un
I necessary in order to meet the
immagration restrictions.
And, now, I am studying my
1 voyage fee which be able to
reach by the lowest price. As I
told you, I wish to borrow my
voyages’ fee from him. Will
please tell him about this letter.
Dear Mr. L. O. Hollist I don’t
want to go to Mr. Creamer’s
Dairy for try to feather my own
nest, but to establish “A Dairy
Farming Village” at this valley.
My valley is much poor, I have
thought that “Even a hungry
child in the world is a denial of
today’s civilization,” as one of
teacher.
Please, please help me. May
God bless you.
Sincerely yours,
Seizo Tanaka
