Governor Proclaims June
17 to 23 as Aviation Week
JUNEAU, UPI — The next eight
days have been proclaimed as
Alaska State Aviation Week by
Governor Egan.
The proclamation, effective
June 17 through June 25, called
on Alaskans to join “in commem
oration of the deeds of heroism
which our bush pilots have per
formed, and to review the great
part which aviation has played
in the development of our state.”
The Governor said Alaska has
recorded many deeds of heroism
and many rescue missions con-*
ducted by bush pilots in the last
25 years, since the airplane “began
its impressive role” in develop
ment of the territory.
“Perhaps in no other area on
this earth has the airplane played
so large a part in the development
of a state or nation as it has in
Alaska,” the proclamation said.
Senate Votes Repeal of
Loyalty Affidavits for
College Student Loans
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Sen
ate has voted to repeal a require
ment for nonsubversive affidavits
from college students receiving
loans or grants under the 1958
Defense Education Act.
Instead, it substituted criminal
penalties ranging up to five years
imprisonment and $10,000 fine for
anyone who applies for or re
ceives any payment under the act
while he is a member of a sub
versive organization. Past mem
bership within five years also
must be disclosed.
Left unchanged was the law’s
requirement that any student
seeking to qualify must take an
oath of allegiance to this country.
The law provides scholarship and
fellowship aid to college students.
‘Guard Your
Family’ Is Theme
Of Cancer Crusade
For a second successive year,
“Guard Your Family” will be the
rallying note of the Cancer Cru
sade, which opens here July 11.
The family theme will again
be linked with the life-saving
phrase, “Fight Cancer with a
Checkup and a Check,” it was an
nounced by Mrs. Mary Diede,
Chairman, Nome Chapter, Amer
ican Cancer Society, who recent
ly discussed plans for the Amer
ican Cancer Society’s 1960 educa
tional and fund-raising drive.
“The combined slogan was very
effective last year,” she said. “It
helped alert the families of Nome
to the silent and insidious ways
of cancer, and to methods of safe
guarding the family against the
hazards of this disease. And it
helped us raise more than our
minimum local goal.
“We believe that you can’t
measure human life in dollars
and cents, certainly not the half
million lives of the men, women
and children who develop cancer
every year. Last year the people
of America confirmed our belief.
We know they will again give us
their voluntary and generous
support to help sustain the mo
mentum of our three programs of
research, service and education.
“The Cancer Society supports
more than 1,000 scientists who
are trying to defeat cancer for all
time. But there is so much we can
do about this disease RIGHT
NOW. Right now, we can, and
must, try to save the lives that
are wasted every year. I refer to
the 85,000 people who die of can
cer simply because they don’t get
to the doctor in time
“The theme of ‘Guard Your
Family’ is very apt,” the Society
spokesman pointed out. “Two or
three families in our community
will be confronted by the tragedy
and burden of cancer — sooner
or later. That’s true in every
community in the country. It will
continue to be true until the di
sease is conquered — as it will be,
given time and money.
“Meanwhile, it’s up to you to
Guard Your Family, to give them
the best possible chance in the
event that cancer strikes. And
better still, to do what you can
to prevent cancer."
Mrs. Diede said that American
Cancer Society volunteers will dis
tribute free literature throughout
July, Cancr Control Month in
Nome.

Teller Doubts Agreement
Possible on Limiting Of
Nuclear Explosions
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Dr. Ed

in the atomic test ban negotia

doubts the possibility of an effec
tive East-West agreement against
nuclear explosions, spoke in a
