Let’s Start on Area Redevelopment
BOTH INDUSTRIAL and commercial business
enterprises are eligible for financing under the
' Area Redevelopment Act provided that they will
create employment and contribute to the overall
economic development of (the area. The area we are
concerned with is our immediate election district
whicih includes villages sudh as Teller, Golovin and
Unalaklieet.
Projects qualifying must be economically sound
and show that they will contribute to the long range
economic growth of this area.
Many (things come to mind when we think of
economic growth and industry for this area among
which is a cannery for Golovin; fishing development
for Unalakleet; canned smoked salmon for Teller;
slaughter house and packaging plant for reindeer at
Nome; cannery and freezing plant at Nome for sur
plus walrus, seal; bottom fiSh and other unedible fish
for canned dog food and fertilizers not only for local
masfcets but for shipping to other parts of the state.
These are some of the suggestions which have
been made and any village in this election district
interested in applying and wanting more information
may contact the Chamber of Commerce in writing. If
enough interest is shown an area committee will be
formed.
There is 100 million dollars in the Area Rede
velopment Act for the development of local projects
that will create new and permanent jobs. The sooner
each village assesses its needs, the sooner something
can be done.
No organization is needed to start. An individual
can apply.

This is an opportunity which cannot be overlook
ed’for it will create jobs — winter and summer — and
keep money in Alaska to used over and over again.
Now is the time to make some of our dreams come
tone.

Start of Economic Strides in Alaska
ANCHORAGE UH — The Fed
eral Area Redevelopment pro
gram could be the spark to help
bring on great economic strides
within Alaska, Gov. William Egan
said yesterday.
But, Egan warned in a speech
at the opening session of the
League of Alaska Cities’ 1961
Convention, such advancement
can take place only if Alaskans
I show “unity of purpose and unity
j of effort.”
“We have abundant resources.
We have an abundance of skilled
labor. The economic potentials at
Alaska have barely been tapped.
In other words, we have much to
offer. We have much to gain.
“But our advancement must be
a boot-strap type of operation. We
must utilize our skills, outr en
thusiasm, our willingness to work
and oar imaginations in sn effort
to develop the type of Alaska we
have long dreamed of.
“The Federal Area Redevelop
ment program is the spark, the
vehicle which mvy permit us to
further our own advancement.”
Egan urged the League to take
full advantage of borough legis
lation to avoid duplication of
services; division of powers,
duties and responsibilities and fi
nancial ‘base; and excessive mosts
of local government.
“. . . the leaders of incorporated
cities recog»iize that the prob
lems of the outlying areas are
also their problems—that one
day, as communities expand,
areas which now rim incorpo
rated cities will either have to
j be brought into the system of
local government or surrounded
by it.
“But local leadership can cause
the borough legislation now on
the books to be used. The state
can assist. But it cannot do the
work that must be done by local
leadership. . . .
“It would be tragic if in this
brand new state, despite our
knowledge of all ox the ills that
have plagued other communities
in other states that we, too,
should stumble into the same pit
falls and the same unnecessary
expense attendant on inefficient
government.”
Egan also said he had hoped
that since the people of Alaska
had voted once on the question
of relocation of the state capital,
it would be laid to rest.”
“Regretfully, this has not been
the case. Apparently we once
again will be hearing the old cry
that one area or another is a
detriment to the progress of the
entire state.
“Let me repeat a point of view
I have expressed many times.
‘^Without basic unity, without
a rejection of regionalism, we face
a great tragedy—a tragedy of our
own making. For we are in dan
ger of losing that very oneness
that gained for us statehood and
every forward, progressive step
in our history.”
