Fascinating Report On Life In Alaska Decorators Cater To State's Views By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPl)—One thing about picture windows in Alaska —they look | out on something besides other picture windows or the highway traffic whizzing by. Almost every home in our newest and largest state has a view, says Mrs. Beatrice Culver, and interior decorators cater to it. Mrs. Culver, who studied decorating at the University of California at Berkeley, and has been in Alaska since 1945, described life and home decor in a fascinating report to the American Institute of Decorators Headquarters. She is the institute’s first Alaskan member. “We all live simply,” she wrote, “using our homes for our hobbies, usually entertaining casually but able to gussie it up as the occasion- demands. “The style and mood of our homes are controled by where we came from and what traditions we absorbed before arriving here.” Architecture may range from the practical and picturesque log cabin to Cape Cod and modern. The more “modest” homes cost their owners from $15,000 to $20,000, she said; the “average” from $20,000 to $35,000, and the more elaborate, going on up through $65,000, $85,000 and even $125,000.

Unusual Expenses “But one must realize” she continued, “that dollar for dollar, it costs one-fourth to one-third ' more to build here than in most areas and that we have expenses not thought of in other cities, such as making our own provisions for wells and sewage systems. “Almost every home has a gorgeous view either of the mountains or the sea, with an ever I changing panorama of colors. I am always inclined to work around them, either by bringing them into the interior or by creating within the room a foil for the beauty framed by the windows.” Mrs. Culver said that “if there is such a thing as trend, it seems to be toward the spring and summer colors — which incidentaUy have their counterpart in the win- ■ ter in the dramatic northern lights — lovely blues, mauves, violets, and even flame pink.” Alaskans live and let live,” she said. “There is no keeping up with the Jones’s, so there is a great deal of individuality and | originality in homes. 1 ' “If one procures a beautiful location, builds a basement and moves into it (himself and family) while he takes anywhere ! from a year to three years to finish the house proper, no one even raises an eyebrow. Large Families “We are people of large families and inclined to do things together in family units. It is com,'mon to see whole families painting the house for its final FHA approval,” said the decorator, who is the wife of a real estate ' man and has six children of her i own. i Mrs. Culver said decorating in ■ Alaska has its problems to offset ' the panoramas. One is that of I getting furniture and accessories, j They either have to be flown in, or shipped by truck, rail and boat. Because of the three to four months of daylight in summer when an Alaskan can read a paper at midnight without artificial light, homes need light-proofing if there is to be any sleeping. Taconite is so hard that regular blasting drills can pierce only about one foot of the rock every hour.

New Promise From Killer Os Bacteria Remarkable Staying Power Is Proven UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-A bacteriakiller which maintains itself much longer in the human blood stream than any other promises to give medical science a powerful new weapon against bacteria - caused illnesses. Its remarkable staying power in the blood stream has just been proved in a Harvard Medical School laboratory by Drs. Calvin M. Kunin and Maxwell Fufland. For maximum curative effect' you want to maintain a bacteriakiller in the blood stream in the ' smallest effective dose for as long I as possible. Otherwise you knock' off too many of the good bacteria the body needs. j The remaining question about | the new bacteria-killer is whether I it kills enough kinds of sicknesscausing bacteria to make it a more useful weapon than the killers now in general use. You can assume it does because it is a close relative of the

“broad-spectrum” antibiotics, the ; tetracyclines, which are twoedged swords because they kill the good and bad bacteria with equal zeal. Reproductive Quirk The .new antijaiotic stems from a reproductive quirk in the fungus which, merely by living, produces broad - spectrum bacteria killers. The quirk was in- its hereditary gene. They changed or mutated 1 and the result was a chemically ; changed fungus wh(ch makes the , new killer. Its chemical name is almost as long as your arm. For short, it is called dmet. Kunin and Finland tested its ( staying powers in' the blood - , stream in this way: Hiey dosed j eight young men with the new , killer and the best of the old , i killers (from the viewpoint of ( [staying power). The antibiotics , were given in pill form and the | doses of the new and the old ] were always the same. Blood was drawn from the young men at various intervals after they had taken the pills [and the ability of these blood (samples to kill three varieties of 'bacteria was most scientifically 1 measured by test-tube techniques, i , Superior Activity : ‘“Hie superiority of the activity ] [of dmet is all the more iinprqa? 1 . sive because the study on 1 ed doses was carried out under 1

normal dietary conditions and was otherwise - carefully controlled for comparability of the conditions, and .the differences were uniform, striking and statistically highly significant,” the scientists reported. - ■ ' ’ • ’, What ths means is that the new antibiotic may be given in smaller and- less frequent doses to get the-same bacteria-killing effect as the older antibioties. That would make it much less of a two-edged; it could remove the harmful edge altogether. But there must be further study, the scientists said in reporting to the New England Journal of Medicine. They want to know especially if it kills as many kinds of sickening bacteria as its parents, the tetracyclnes. Dmet comes from the Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, N. Y., which had much to do with developing spectrum antibiotics. Best by Test ITHACA, N. Y., — (UPD — Dairy scientists working on a new maple - flavored ice cream are striving to please everybody. Visitors to the Cornell University laboratory and asked to sample the new ice cream to tell what they think of it
