W ednesday Is Citizenship Day
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER has designated Sept. 17
as Citizenship Day. It will commemorate the sign
ing of - the Constitution and recognize citizens who
have become of age or who have been naturalized
during the past year.
It is also designated as Constitution Week.
This year, Alaskans should observe the week with
fitting ceremonies in school and church, inasmuch as
Alaskans now are fully recognized citizens on a par
with other Americans in all parts of the United States
of America.
It is fitting that the ceremonies appropriate to
Constitution and Citizenship Day “should strengthen
a better understanding of our rights and our respon
sibilities as citizens of the United States.”

foods, drink advertised coffee, read all the news and
advertising in an advertised paper, put on an adver
tised hat and coat, light an advertised cigar, get in an
advertised car and go to town, and run down adver
tising on the grounds that advertising doesn’t pay.
—From Newton County Enterprise, Kentland, Ind.
Norfolk, Va., Times-Advocate: “Seems a pity,
but more thn a million American kids are making the
mistake of their lives this week. . . . They’re passing
up the chance to finish out high school. Why all this
hullabaloo about high school? It’s not the dates in
the history books Or the names in geography you
learn, although those may help. High school trains
men and women to think straighter, to think things
out — an ability you pick up while you’re figuring
out the answers to tough questions.”
The keel for the world’s first nuclear-powered
passenger-cargo ship, the NS Savannah, was laid on
May 22. She is so named in honor of the SS Savan
nah, the first ship to cross the Atlantic under steam,
in a voyage that started May 22, 1819.
Partial Payment j
Made for Building
DEW-Line Posts
A check for $1,275,657.54 —
just a partial payment on 3 con
tract for $7,338,216 — was turned
over the other day to Manson
Osberg Co. of Seattle by the U. S.
Army Engineer District, Alaska,
for completion of two DEW Line
stations on the Aleutian Islands
chain for the U. S. Air Force.
The check was presented to
Clyde A. Hovik, projects manager
for Manson-Osberg Co., 1132 N.
128th, Seattle, upon completion
of the stations at Cold Bay and
Cape Sarichef. Final payment is
yet to come. The check, with con
gratulations on the job, was pre
sented by Lt. Col. R. L. Hennessy,
Assistant Alaska District En
gineer.
“Alaska — sure I like it. And
I like working on Alaska District
Corps of Engineer projects,”
Hovik offered.
The contract for Cold Bay and
Cape Sarichef DEW Line stations
was awarded to Manson-Osberg in
February, 1957. Work started in
May as soon as the weather per
mitted.
The work, starting from scratch
on the bleak, barren islands, in
cluded construction of composite
and ammunition storage build
igs, ACS wave guide supports,
reflector antenna and feed horns,
huge radome bubbles; POL,
water, sewer, and electrical sys
tems, roads and runways for the
planes which are the only trans
portation to the mainland of
Alaska . . . and a few other little
details like chasing bears away
from the mess halls and fighting
low fog, high gales and construc
tion deadlines,” Hovik added.

Judge Vetoes Ban On
Married H. S. Students
CARO, Mich., UP) — Its all right
— a judge says so — for 17-year
old Edward Curtis and his bride,
Barbara, also 17, to go back to
Caro High School.
Circuit Judge Thomas Quinn
last Friday ordered the Caro
Board of Education to reverse a
ruling which kept Edward and
Barbara out of school because
they were married.
Judge Quinn held the board in
violation of the Michigan State
Constitution’s guarantee of* public
education.
The good-looking youngsters
got married last Jan. 30. They
were banned under a new school
ruling this year against married
students.

U. S. Airman
Indicted in Fatal
Japan Shooting
TOKYO, (#) — Japanese police
Saturday recommended indict
ment of a 19-year-old California
airman on charges of gross negli
gence causing death for the fatal
shooting of a Japanese youth.
Director General Hisashi Sogabe
of the Saitama Prefecture Police
told newsmen that documents will
be sent to the prosecutor’s office
Monday recommending indict
ment of Airman 3c Peter E. Long
pre, of Lakewood, Calif.
If convicted in a criminal court
’on the charge, which is similar
to manslaughter under U. S. laws,
Longpre could be sentenced to
three years in prison or fined
$139.
Longpre, who has insisted the
shooting was accidental and is
sued a public apology, fired his
carbine Sunday while assigned to
guard duty at Johnson Air Base,
38 miles northwest of Tokyo. The
bullet pierced the window of an
electric train and struck a 22
year-old passenger, Sachiyuki
Miyamura.
Miyamura, a music student en
route to the base to play in a
band, died on the operating
table.
