Youth Temperance Education
ACTING GOVERNOR of Alaska Hugh Wade has
proclaimed the week of April 12th as Youth
Temperance Education Week, to recognize the impor
tance of educating the youth of our State and Nation
to meet the reality of world conditions, and have a
■knowledge of the effects of alcoholic beverages and
narcotics, and their danger to the human body.
The proclamation states that abstinence and
temperance are among the meritorious traits of human
behavior, and the need for such training never has
been more important in the history of our Nation and
in our State — than right now!
GRASSROOTS OPINION
From Christian Economics (A Religious Publi
cation) . . .A farmer sits on the other side of my desk.
He tells me that he bought 22 tractors in 1952 at a cost
of $48,000. During the years, he has been permitted
to depreciate them before taxes, and has now re
covered his $48,000. Now he must buy 22 new tractors
and they will cost him, not the $48,000 he has
recovered, but $100,000. In other words he has lost
a little more than half of his capital. He now has the
money to buy only half as many tractors as he bought
six years ago.
‘Blue Sky Law’
Gets House O - K
JiUNEAU, UFi — -A bill to pro
vide Alaska with a “blue sky law”
to regulate sale of securities and
stocks was unanimously passed
by the Senate and sent to the
House Wednesday.
The measure would require the
registration of all security sales
men and provides penalties against
fraud in the sale or promotion of
any stock issue in the state.
A proposal to require every
stock or security issue be regis
tered and approved before sale
was abandoned when opponents
said it might prove expensive and
prevent small operators from seek
ing financial backing for new
ventures.
He who is too big to do a small
task, is too small to do a big job.
Burmese Top Knots . . .
LOUISVILLE, Ky.,UPt— Morton
Gluckmann couldn’t understand
how anyone in the Burmese Air
Force could wear anything as
small as a size 5Vi cap.
So Gluckmann, military sales
director for a Louisville cap firm,
went to the Burmese Embassy in
Washington to see if a mistake
had been made in an order for
several hundred caps. The em
bassy didn’t know.
Gluckmann finally got his an
swer from a Burmese officer
studying at the nearby Fort Knox
armor center.
Captain Aye Maung of Rangoon
explained:
“The little caps are for the la
dies of the air firce. They wear
their hair in top knots and the
smaller size cap just fits over
the hair on the top of the head
— it isn’t supposed to encircle the
head.”
Federal Judge
Dismisses Trap
Owners’ Suit
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, (^—Attorneys
for a segment of Alaska’s fishing
industry today studied a possible
appeal from a district court rul
ing dismissing their challenge of
a ban on fish trap^in Alaskan
waters.
Judge John J. Sirica tossed the
action out of court Wednesday on
grounds it failed “to state a claim
on which relief can be granted.”
The suit — brought by 15 salmon
canneries, trap owners and em
ployes — sought to block a ban
on traps ordered by Secretary of
the Interior Seaton for the 1959 j
commercial fishing season.
Much of the argument centered j
on an amendment to the statehood j
bill providing for continued ad-1
ministration of Alaska’s fisheries
by the secretary “under existing |
laws” despite the grant of state- j
hood to Alaska.
The amendment, offered by
Rep. Jack Westland (R-Wash), pro
vided for transfer of the fisheries
management to Alaska only after
it had demonstrated to Seaton’s
satisaction its ability to manage
the resource in the “broad nation
al interest.”
Howard Westwood, industry
counsel, contended the Westland
amendment made no change in
the White Act from which Seaton
derived his authority to administer
Alaska fisheries. And under the
White Act, he said, Seaton lacked
authority to ban traps.
Sitting in the courtroom but tak-1
ing no part in the arguments was
James Fitzgerald, former Anchor
age city attorney recently named ;
by acting Governor Hugh J. Wade
to observe the court proceedings
on behalf of the new state.
BOAC Wins CAB.
Approval of Tokyo Flights
WASHINGTON, UPi — The Civil j
Aeronautics Board ruled yesterday
that Tokyo properly is on Great
Britain’s Transpacific air route as
identified in that government’s
air agreement with the United
States.
The board said in its ruling, how
ever, that it is not now passing
on the question whether Tokyo
should be included in any permit
issued to British Overseas Air
ways Corp. under the terms of
the agreement.
“That issue is now before the
examiner and has not yet reached
the board,” the CAB said.
BOAC had advertised it would
start operations between San
Francisco and Hong Kong by way
of Tokyo April 1. Opposition by
Northwest Airlines prevented the
start of service, however.
Yesterday’s -action consisted of
a denial of Northwest’s motion
to sever the issue of service to
Tokyo from the non-controversial
issue of a permit to BOAC to op
erate a Transpacific route not
serving Tokyo.

Welcomed To Puyallup
Valley Festival
PUYALLUP, Wash., <*l — The
26th annual Puyallup Valley Daf
odil Festival, which opened Mon
day night with the coronation of
Queen Carol Mills, was to welcome
the contingent of visiting Alaskans
last night.
Pat Baldwin, queen of the An
chorage Fur Rendezvous and may
ors and Chambers of Commerce

“Daffodils Salute Alaska” is the
theme of the 1959 week-long fes

Today’s highlight was to have
been the dedication of the new 9
million-dollar County-City Buil

The Alaska theme of the flower
show will delight flower lovers
as well as Alaskans. The interior
of the building has been converted
into a replica of the Yukon River,
with foot bridges crossing it along
its course from the stage replica
of Mount McKinley down the
length of the hall.
