FIELD COMMITTEE
SUFFERS STAFF CUT
AS BUDGET SLICED
Alaska will soon be producing
some more of her own building ma
terials, according to Kenneth J.
Kadow, chairman of the Alaska
Field Committee of the Department
of the Interior, who returned re
cently from the regular tri-monthly
meeting of that group in Palmer.
Kadow reported a substanfnl in
terest to his committee from private
investors who have responded to the
coordinated efforts of government
and private contractors to deter
mine the potential in brick, cement,
tile, lumber and related building
materials produced within the
Territory.
Already, according to the com
mittee head, definite steps are in
the making for the establishment of
a plant in the "rail belt" producing
zenolite (insulation), brick, and
haydite (aggregate material used in
cement) in addition to a second
bulk cement plant planned for Sew
ard. The latter, in the opinion of
the Interior Department committee,
will assure healthy competition for
the first Alaskan bulk cement plant
already in oneration in Anchorage.
The agenda for this regularly
scheduled Field Committee meet
ing. held in various Alaskan cities
every three months, was heavier
than any previous meet. In addition
to regular department problems as
represented by the heads of the
many agencies of that executive
branch, initial efforts were made at
this Palmer meeting to extend a
helping hand to the Dept, of Agri
culture in its hard-pressed efforts
to assist Alaskan farmers and po
tential settlers interested in tilling
northern soil, in the financing,
planning and settlement problems
attendant to Alaskan agriculture.
In addition to the regular mem
bers of the Committee, representa
tives of the Federal Department of
Agriculture and the Territorial De
partment of Agriculture were pre
sent.
The chairman reports that this
collected group recognized certain
needs which a joint effort could
provide. Such needs as are liberal
financirft for Alaskan farming, and
coordinated planning between the
two departments on settlement
legislation. Toward that end a joint
committee with representatives
from Federal. Territorial and local
groups was appointed to discuss and
formulate specific steps in dealing
with these problems.
Kadow also reported to his com-]
mittee that recent Congressional
action had reduced*the budget for
his offices and consequently reduced
his staff. He reported that the bud
get currently being debated in the
Senate had specifically reduced the
six Field Committees of the De
partment of the Interior in spite
of the urgent appeal made by Sec
retary Chapman in behalf of these
coordinating groups. He reported
that a continued effort will be made
to restore these cuts and to re
establish the services which this
substantial cut will curtail in the j
Field Committee.
In line with this curtailment,
transfers have been issued to local
employees, George Megrath, staff
assistant, and Carl D'Epiro, ad
ministrative assistant. Both men
are scheduled to return to Wash
ington within a few weeks with
their families.
The next meeting '•>. the commit
tee will bc held .r. Sitka during
October.

Exceptional Breweries'
OLYMPIA BREWING COMPANY
Olympia, Washington, U.S. A.
Why does rain fall
in drops?
Rain is derived from the masses of water vapor we know as j*
clouds. Falling temperature causes this vapor to condense
around tiny specks of dust in the air, forming drops winch
fall to earth.
WILL RAIN WATER MAKE
GOOD BEER?
No! Ideal brewing water must be free
of dust particles or undesirable min
erals and vegetation which affect taste.
One of the few places in the world
where such pure water has been dis
covered is at Turrfcvater, Washington.
Here, from deep artesian wells, the
Olympia Brewing Company obtains
water of constant brewing quality...
rare water that gives Olympia Beer
its famous delicate flavor.
