Gen. Atkinson Addresses
150 Alaska Legionnaires
At Palmer Convention
PALMER, UPi—Members of the
Alaska department of the Ameri
can Legion were told Monday that
their organization has been among
the most active of all groups in
influencing public opinion in the
right direction.
Lt. Gen. Joseph H. Atkinson,
head of the Alaska Defense Com
mand, told the Legionnaires at
their annual convetion, that “the
Legion has been on guard since
its beginning against the various
isms and ideologies that afflict the
world today.”
The general said that the pri
mary mission of his command is a
defensive one which requires the
expenditure of huge sums of mon
ey on military construction.
“The answer,” he said, “is Al
aska’s geographical position. It
lies astride the air route from
Siberia to the continental United
States, and, more important, it
offers air bases from which vital,
potential enemy targets can be
reached.”
About 150 Alaska Legionnaires
are attending the convention.

Maureen Hudert Awarded
Nurses Scholarship By
Fed. of Women’s Clubs
Maureen Hudert, graduate of
the Juneau High School, was
awarded the nurse’s training
scholarship by the Alaska Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs. The schol
arship of $250 will be sent to the
school of her choice after Maur
een has completed three months
of training.
Maureen placed highest of the
three entries; Mildred Pickett of
Anchorage was second, Pearl
Brasker of Fairbanks, third. To
enter the contest a girl must rank
in the upper one-third of her
class, and show the necessary
qualificaions of initiative, above
average ability, and sincere inter
est in nursing.
In rendering the decision, the
judges commented on the excel
lent qualifications of all the con
testants.
In recommending Maureen, the
president of the Women’s Club in
Juneau had this to say:
“Maureen is the second eldest
of a family of six, YlVi years of
age and is a member of the 1954
graduating class of Juneau High
School. Both she and her family
are highly respected citizens.
Maureen is in great demand as a
‘baby-sitter’ because of her de
pendability and trustworthiness.
We believe that the fund, if she
is chosen to receive it, will be
returned a hundred fold by the
service she will render if fitted
for the profession of nursing.
The Hudert family lived in
Nome for several years when Mr.
John Hudert was division engin
neer for the Alaska Road Com
mission. Maureen attended grade
and high school at the Nome
School.
