the department is the establish
ment of frequencies at Eagle for

TERR. CHILDREN AT
SCHOOLS FOR BUND,
DEAF RETURN HOME
i
Plans are completed for the re
turn of 19 Alaska children who
have been attending the Oregon
State School for the Blind at Sa
lem and the Washington State
School for the Deaf at Vancouver.
The children attending the
schools come from such widely
separated places as Pt. Barrow,
Nome. Kivilina, St. George Island,
Bethel and Kwethluk. The Alaska'
Native Service pays their tuition
and boarding home care during
the summer months when school
is not in session.
In view of the fact that some of
the children have not been home
since attending the school for some
time, a special effort is being made
to bring them home in order that
they may keep in touch with their
families.
The Oregon State School for
the Blind reports that the school
is willing to accept a few children
from Alaska in order to provide
the education needed by them. Ac
cording to reports from Dr. Walter
Dry, the school works through the
University of Oregon department
of ophthalmology in Portland.
He also reports that several of
the children who have been attend
ing the school have made success
ful adjustments and are doing well
in their work. The children have
participated in such group activi
ties as swimming, scouting and 4-H
club work. At least two of the child
ren have shown outstanding lead
ership ability and it is hoped that
they will be able to continue the
school work.
“It has been a real pleasure to
work with these youngsters and, if
we have helped them to see better
and to make a better adjustment
in their homes, we are happy,"
said Dr. Dry.

LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT
ALASKA, MONTGOMERY
LEARNS ON TRIP SOUTH
The amazing lack ol correct in
formation on Alaska appalled Dr.
I. J. Montgomery, director of the
Alaska Merit System, during a trip
to the West Coast. He returned
Tuesday.
Following attendance at the
three-day conference of the Civil
Service Assembly in Pasadena, Cal
if. Montgomery spoke to 11 bus
iness colleges in the interests of
recruiting of office workers for Al
aska. He also showed the Alaska
Development Board picture, "Alas
ka, U. S. A."
A random sampling of questions
asked: Can you buy good food up
there? How do you handle money
when you have no banks in Alaska?
What about the mosquitoes?
Montgomery was pleased with
the contacts he made in regard to
sources of future office help and
glad to have an opportunity to help
oflset some erroneous ideas held
about the Territory.
SMALL STORES NOT
EXEMPT FROM OPS
A report that stores doing less
than $100,000 a year business would
be exempt from ceiling price reg
ulations was labeled inaccurate to
day by Fred G. Hanford, Territor
ial Director of the Office of Price
Stabilization.
Hanford said the rumor appar
ently started through a miscon
strued release from Washington D.
C. early last week. He said the ter
ritortal office checked carefully
with Washington O.P.S. officials
and found no basis for any such
ext inption.
Hanford further reminded that
all retail businesses should have
them base period records completed
in accordance with Regulation 9.
