Some money comes in from tour ists, a little from trapping, some from fishing and some from mining. But that's about all. The government spending won't go on forever but the Alaskan is an optimist or he wouldn't be here in the first place. BORROWERS Chicago - (DPD Even as you and I: A survey by the Inter national City Managers' As sociation showed that three out of five cities in the United States borrowed money last year. The survey covered 938 cities of more than 10,000 population. Right now, his hopes rest on the development of a half doz en oil fields -fields that may be as large as those in Texas. (Everything in Alaska is meas ured by Texas standards.) Plenty of Oil , Oil has been struck on the Kenai peninsula and geologists believe there is plenty more. But there will be no active production for several years. First must come a $150,000,000 pipe line to the shoreline. That may not be completed for four or five years. In the meantime, the busi nessmen are happy with things as they are and only hope government spending lasts until then. i Like most boom-towns, An chorage is no place for a man with only five dollars in his pocket. Prices probably are 50 per cent higher than in most U. S.'cities. A can of beer sells for 60 cents, milk for 25 cents a glass. Housing, always short in boom-towns, is' critical here. Because there is no lumber industry in this neighborhood, a house that could be built for $15,000 stateside will cost about $45,000 here including two bedrooms. Rentals may run from $100 a month for, a sin- LINCOLN COIN Ann Arbor, Mich.-(UPD-Of-ficially, residents of Michigan are "Michiganites."

His current pet project, for which bonds re cently were signed, is a $8,200,000 port. ' Different, from most Alas kan cities, Anchorage has wide streets, beautiful stores and banks as modern as those in Los Angeles. It has 40 churches and 48 bars. There are two daily newspap ers, three radio stations and two TV stations. There are 11 elementary schools, one jun ior and one high school. The city has a moderate temperature about like that of northern Michigan and Minnesota. The growing sea son lasts about four months. Lots of Daylight However, summer days run from 15 to 22 hours of day- MILK A STANDBY Burlington, VL - (0PD - What was good enough for the 13th century troops of Genghis Khan is good enough for peo ple today, says the University J of Vermont dairy department. The department said milk is still the best thirst-quencher and instant dry powder milk will serve well as a substitute. The department noted the sol diers of Genghis Khan had dried milk included in their field rations as far back as the 13th century. light. Beautiful flowers grow during that period. The city puts on a flower show in Au gust called "Treasures of the Tundra." The rainfall in 14.6 inches a year and the city gets about five feet of snow in the winter. Biggest sporting event is the annual Dog Race. "What we need most," said the! secretary of the local chamber of commerce, "is a paved highway through Can ada (Alaska already has one). Then Anchorage would grow to 500,000 people in no time at all." This may be slightly exag gerated but all Alaskans think and talk big. Anchorage was' the hot-bed of the battle for statehood and it controls the political thinking of the state. It has almost half the eligible voters in Alaska. Anchorage right now is a good place in which to live and to work. But there are some drawbacks for the av erage U. S. citizen who might want to make a home here: Will Have to Stay 1. When a man and his family come here, unless they have a lot of travelling mon ey, they'll have to stay. It is 1,445 air miles from Anchor age to Seattle (4,500 miles to New York). While there is a paved highway to Fairbanks and another to Seward, that's about the extent of pavement in the whole territory. 2. If government money should stop rolling in and if the .boom should fail to ma terialize, it would be hard to make a living here.
