Alaska Plan!
That Alaska offers the best possi
bility for development of newsprint
plants is the report made by the
Stanford Research Institute to the
Newspaper Publisher's Association
of the Western states. The study
financed by the publishers, studied
the supply and demand in news
print.
Juneau ranks first as the site
for a newsprint plant according
to George Sundborg, director of
the Alaska Development Board, who
conferred with A. K. Beggs, direc
tor of the Stanford group at Palo
Alto. The publishers are consider
ing a co-operative financing plan
for a newsprint plant in Alaska.
Sundborg returned on Saturday
from a four weeks trip that in
cluded conferences in Vancouver,
B.C., Seattle. Portland, San Fran
cisco. Pittsburgh, Washington, D C.,
and New York City.
Forest Roads
In Washington. Sundborg met
with Lyle Watts, chief of the For
est Service and »his assistant, Chris
Granger and C. D. Curtiss, chief
of the Bureau of Public Roads, on
proposed forest roads in Southeast
Alaska. The construction of the
Taku RiV'^r raid was discussed
and Sundborg said the officials
gave him 'encouragement." •
This year for the first time Con
gress did not limit Alaska s share
of the Forest Service highway fund.
This year Alaska will have a pro
portionate share with the separate
states while in previous years a
ceiling of $25,000 has been set for
Alaska's forest highways. The of
ficials suggested that the increased
funds might be used for a begin
ning on the Taku highway.
rhromit'e to "be TWtned
In New York, Sundborg conferred
with officials of US. Vanadium
Corporation, who own chromite
mines at Red Mountain near Sei
dovia. The vice-president of Va
nadium and Sundborg were inter
viewed in Washington by Howard
I. Young, deputy administrator for
the War Mineral Procurement Ad
ministration, said that his organi
zation was interested in buying
chrome and it is probable that
the Red Mountan mine will go into
production soon. Young said he
was considering the establishment
of an Alaska purfchasing depot for
critical metals.
In Seattle, C. E. Takahashi, presi
dent of the Alaska-Wrangell Mills,
Inc., said that the first lumber
would be cut in the Wrangell mill
within 30 days. The mill has been
closed since 1947. Takahashi said
the company plans to build a dry
kiln and make further improve
ments next spring.
The Marlin Lumber Company of
Detroit plans to build a large saw
mill in Southeast Alaska, Sund
borg reported. Walter Buell com
pleted a survey last summer in the
Petersburg-Wrangell district for
the Detroit company.

hospital.
Sister Alberta said she awoke in
her fifth floor room and saw a
timber smoldering and red over her
head.
“I ran to the switchboard operator
and told her to call the fire depart
ment,” she said, "and then I hur
ried back into our quarters to wake
the other sisters.’
Nurses immediately ran to their
patients and began helping them
out of bed. Nuns, doctors and per
sons passing by helped get the
patients out.
