Alaskan Priorities
Needed For Housing
Home from vacation at his
home in Indiana and government
business conferences in Washing
ton, D. C., is Donald T. Lowery,
field engineer, REA headquarters
at Palmer.
In Washington he made his
fight for essential materials. Rep
resentatives from Alaska stressed
the fact that defense activities
-are so important and on such a
large scale in the territory, that
adequate housing, especially near
Ft. Richardson and Ladd Field,
are badly needed.
Lowery said there is no indica
tion to this time of priorities for
materials in Alaska.
Returning over the Alcan High
way, with his brother William
Lowery, they found the roads in
good shape with the exception of
a few approaches, he reported.
They found Canadians “outstand
1 ingly friendly”.
